Prospects are bright for the suc cess of the field tour planned by the Criss County Farm Bureau, State Ex tension Service and the local SCS tamp, for Friday. June 18th. For two years now the Soil Conservation Ser vice has been operating in Cass coun ty. The purpose of the service is to do demonst rational work on farms to control soil and moisture losses. The p;ist two dry seasons have not been good for showing results of the ap plication of different practices re (.mmendod by the cooperating agen cies. This year we feel many of the methods of soil and moisture conser vation being applied on farms in this county can be clearly demon strated. About twelve farms will be visited during the tour when farm operators, landowners, business men and wom en are invited to see and have ex plained all of the different methods that are being used. Such practices r.s contour farming, strip cropping, buffer strips, terraces, gully control and many others will be seen on tins tour. A free lunch will be served nt noon in the John B. Kaffenberger grove. Following is the schedule for the tour: 9:30 a. m.

Arrival of federal bait has speedtd up the poisoning activities in the county. Sixty-cne tons of bran and saw dust and twelve barrels of sodium arsenitc were received last week with which to mix federal bait. Mixing operations were being speeded up at the plant at Nehawka so that be tween three and four hundred sacks j per day have been turned out for (delivery into the different precincts jin the county. Charges on the federal bait amount to 40c per bag which in ' eludes tlic cost of mixing, bags, and delivery, phis the cost of the amyl j acetate and molasses which must be! added.
