*Spreads Chalk’ to ‘Spread Word’
The education committee of
the Holt soil conservation dis
trict association is making elab
day for all seventh and eighth
orate plans for a conservation
.grade school pupils in the county
to be held on Friday, September
18.
A full day’s activities have
been planned to give youngsters
an understanding of why the
conservation of natural resources
is so vital and what is being done
locally about it. It is planned
that the day’s activities will tie
in directly as an action program
in their study of geography of
Nebraska.
The program will begin at 9
a.m., at the O’Neill high school
auditorium and will include:
Films ’ on conservation, a talk
and demonstration on the im
portance of conservation practices
in connection with erosion con
trol and water conservation by
Fvan Hartman, extension conser
vationist.
He uses small models of
farms and demonstrates why
erosion takes place and how it
can be controlled in what he
calls his "medicine show."
A representative of the game,
forestration and parks commis
sion will show slides on their
wildlife area planting program,
which is being carried out in this
county in cooperation with the
Holt soil district.
' L- D. (“Cap”) Martelle of Pierce
will give his conservation chalk
talk which has won his consid
erable fame in northeast Nebras
ka and surrounding area.
In addition to the feature at
tractions, the group will be di
vided into smaller groups to
view a number of special dem
onstrations in the north part of
town. These will include tree
planting, grass seed cleaning, use I
of level, soil profiles and plant
identification.
The group will eat lunch at the
city park (weather permitting)
and will be served ice cold pop
through the courtesy of the
Chamber of Commerce. A mid
afternoon treat will be provided
fy the Holt Soil Conservation
association.
Teachers and parents who will
bring these students to O’Neill
are welcome to attend all or any
•part of the day’s activities.
Martelle deftly combines his
artistic talent with his profes
sion.
He is a soil conservationist
with the Pierce county soil con
servation district. His hobby is
drawing, and he is using that to
promote conservation.
Hardly a week goes by that
Mr. Martelle has not been
"‘spreading chalk to spread con
servation,” as he terms it, before
meetings of farmers, Chambers
of Commerce or other affairs
where agricultural themes pre
dominate.
“One picture is worth 10 thou
sand words,” he says. “I find
that when I can keep people en
tertained by drawing, I can
preach soil conservation and
they drink it down without real
izing they are getting a sermon.”
He uses colored chalk on i
while or brown paper and
used special lighting equip
ment.
Mr. Martell operated a nurs
ery business in Beresford, S.D.,
for 12 years. In 1935 he went into
the U.S. forest service as a
nurseryman for shelterbelt pro
jects. While in this service he
lived at Brookings, S.D., South
Sioux City, Creighton and Nor
folk. During this work he had no
time to divert to chalktalks.
In 1943 he went to Haiti in the
West Indies and took his chalk
along. There he supervised the
clearing of three thousand acres
of jungle land and the planting
of rubber plants. In 1944 he re
turned to the United States and
went into the soil conservation
service at Waterloo, la. In
i March, 1946, he was transferred
to Pierce.
