Holt Included in Plains
Conservation Program
The great plains conservation
program in llolt county is ready
to move.
Approval by state program
committee of a list of soil-esta
blishing, moisture-saving prac
ices for the county was announ
ced by C. K. Hill of O'Neill, who
as leader of the soil conservation
staff, is chairman of the Holt
program committee.
Also approved were the rates
at which the federal government
will share the cost of installing
the practices.
These rates, based on average
cost of the work in this county,
range from 50 percent to 80 per
cent of the total cost of installuig
each practice. Cost-sharing rates
for Holt had been worked out by
the county program committee
and submitted to the state com
mittee, which is headed by State
Conservationist H. G. Bobst.
Hill said that the approval of
practices and cost-share rates
clears the way for first applica
tions.
The purjiose of the great plains
conservation program, Hill ex
plained, is to develop an agricul
ture that resists the weather ex
tremes that are a constant haz
ard in the iilains area. This will
contriubute to a more stable
economy.
"The county program commit
tee is looking forward to enthus
iastic response to this opportun
ity to make a good start on this
program. Our records in this
county show that there's drouth
somewhere in the plains every
year. When moisture is good is
the time to get ready for the
years when conditions axe less
favorable.”
"Indications are that many a
farmer and rancher in this coun
ty is ready to take advantage of
this chance for real help in get
ting a conservation plan on his
farm or ranch,” Hill added.
Foundation of the program is a
complete soil and water conser
vation plan for each farm or
ranch. The farmer agrees to
establish all needed measures in
his plan within a period of not
less than three nor more than 10
years.
Hill pointed out that when the
farmer or rancher becomes a
paity to the contract; money for
the government’s share of the
cost is set aside for his part of
flie program.
Two hundred thirty-three coun
ties in 10 Great Plains states
have been designated by Secre
tary of Agriculture Erza T. Ben
son for the program.
Members of the county pro
gram committee are:
Harry E. Ressel, chairman of
