Changes Made in
Agriculture Program
The agriculture conservation
program has undergone some
changes for this year of 1952.
A few weeks ago, the county
PMA committee, the soil conser
vation service staff, the Holt soil
conservation district supervisors,
the county agent and the FHA
supervisor outlined the program
for 1952 in Holt county.
The basic policy of the de
partment of agriculture served as
a guide in the development of
this program. “The use of each
acre of agricultural land within
its capabilities and the treatment
of each acre of agricultural land
in accordance with its needs for
protection and improvement.”
PMA has complete charge of
the administrative part of the
group I and group II practices,
also field work for all group II
practices and wells, superphos
phate and lime in group 1.
For some of the permanent
type practices the soil conserva
tion service is charged with giv
ing prior approval, making the
necessary surveys, laying out the
practice and checking its com
pletion. For Kolt county these
include contouring, terraces, di
versions, grassed waterways, ero
sion control dams, livestock water
dams, drainage, water control
structures, spreader ditches and
developing springs.
These practices will be ap
proved if they fit info the basic
policy of the department. It
will be desirable to obtain long
enough in advance of contact
ing contractor equipment so
that the necessary layout work
may be done when the contrac
tor is ready to start the job.
Some dams will doubtless re
quire tubes. Tubes will be hard
to get and may be on order sev
eral months before delivery.
Dams will require the approval of
the state department of roads
and irrigation if in the case of
erosion dams, they are over 25
feet in height, impound more than
15 acre feet of water, or the fill
exceeds 10,000 cubic yards. In
case of dams for livestock water,
these will need state approval if
they are over 20 feet high, im
pound more than 100 acre feet of
water or exceed 10,000 cubic
yards.
Farmers or ranchers desiring
to build dams when they think a
tube will be needed or state ap
proval necessary should make a
special effort to make this fact
known to the SCS technicians so
that they may get on the sched
ule of work and have prelim
inary work started as soon as pos
sible.
It appears that the Holt staff
will be extremely rushed this
year and staff members are mak
ing schedules at least a week in
advance. It will be almost im
possible to make a request one
day and expect to get service
that same day or the next.
Scheduling in advance is by far
the most efficient use of time and
it need not cause hardship to any
one who is willing to do some
planning in advance.
The overall signup program
varies a little from last year in
that all practices, both group I
and II, must be listed on the in
tention sheet. Previously group
I practices could be added any
time during the year.
It will be possible, however,
to substitute a group I practice
not on the intention sheet for
one that is listed if desired. If
''you sign up for a dam and later
find that it cannot be approved
but. for example, a grassed
waterway or we'l would be
more practical. This substitu
tion can be made by acquiring
the consent of the county com
mittee.
Harry E. Ressel said things to
remember are: (1) plan now what
you feel quite sure that you will
be able to do this year so that it
is all included on your intention
that requires prior approval and
sheet during spring signup.
(2) If you have work to be done
lay-out by SCS be sure to get on
i their schedule as soon as possible.
To meet the nation's growing
defense needs for food, feed and
fiber, farmers this year are faced
with the biggest production pro
gram ever asked—8 per cent
above last year. The task will
be difficult to achieve for farm
ers are confronted with a smaller
labor supply and a tightening sit
uation on many important farm
production facilities. To reach
the 1952 production goals, farm
ers will need to follow the most
efficient production methods and
carry out effective conservation.
At the present time a series of
meetings are being held to dis
cuss this program and answer
questions and to give an oppor
tunity to make requests for
work. Meetings yet to be held
include:
Stuart—Thursday, February 28,
