Soil Technicians
Go to Broken Bow
No ACP Signup Aid
Next Week
The Holt Soil Conservation dis
trict office will be closed next
week, the first week of February.
All the technical employees will
attend meetings at Broken Bow to
bring them up to date on new de
velopments in the feild of conser
vation. It will be possible to re
quest assistance in the ACP farm
and ranch signup during that
time, it was pointed out this week
by C. R. (“Bob”) Hill, unit con
servationist
Special signup days have been
held twice a week during the
month of January. The number of
farmers and ranchers signing up
for cost sharing under the ACP
has been “good” so far. For those
who have not been able to sign
up on their scheduled date, the
period of February 7 through 15
will be available to do so. The
office will be open and personnel
will be available to assist.
February 15 is the deadline for
signup for the 1955 program year.
Late signing will be permitted.
However, approval of practices
will depend on money made avail
able by noncompliance of original
signers
SCS technicians have the re
sponsibility for approval, layout,
and checking of the so called per
manent practices, involving, in
most cases, earth moving.
It is the responsibility of the
farmer and rancher to be sure
that the requests for this approval
is made to the local Soil Conserva
tion District office prior to any
work being done on such prac
tices.

power remaining near present
levels.”

ers in Boyd, Holt and Wheeler
counties borrowed $694,000
through the association, Lyle P.

than in the year past.
