M. Jar man and Walter Kick have l*>en selected to represent the Holt Soil and Water Conservation Dist rict in the Sioux City Permanent Agriculture contest. Entries are judged on the basis of proper land use, completeness and complexity of the conservation job. Raymond Dexter operates 1163 acres southwest of Chambers. He bas accomplished a considerable amount of blow out control by shaping, mulching and seeding and by fencing the most severe areas. Ho has constructed over a mile of cross fence to divide pas tures into smaller units and to facilitate his rotational grazing system. During the time he has been on the place he has planted nearly 30 acres of trees for live stock protection. E. M. Jarman, also located scKJthwest of Chambers, operates 5520 acres. During the years he has made numerous seedings of grass both by the conventional method of drilling and also by aerial seeding. This past spring he planted 15,000 cedars for live stock protection and previously has underplanted many of the cottonwood rows with cedar. Walter Kick operates a 2700 acre ranch southeast of Inman. He has done considerable amounts of tree planting, grass seeding and blow out control work. All of these ranchers are con scious of the importance of good grass for their livestock ;uid at some time or another have com pletely deferred pastures for two or more years to improve both the quality and amount of grass. This year the judging committee reported that many of their pas tures looked practically un-used and that the amount of grass couldn’t have l>een better.
