At these elections, farmers in each community will vote for three farmers to serve on the com munity committee, for a delegate to the county convention to elect the county PMA committee for 1953, and for alternates. Voting will be by mail. In general, any farmer is eligible to vote if he as owner, operator, tenant, or sharecropper is participating or is carrying out practices in ac cord with programs administered by the county PMA committee Chairman Lundell emphasizes that the effectiveness of Agricul tural Conservation Program oper ations and of price support ana marketing programs will depend a great deal on the community committeemen wlio are voted in at these elections. The concentration of Agricul tural Conservation Program oper ations in 1953 on the problems of individual farms adds to the need for able committeemen. Committeemen will be expected to help each farmer in deter mining the conservation nerds on his farm and in making the most effective use of ,ACP assistance anc available services in carrying out "most needed practices. Since this program has to do with the protectin and improve ment of the soil and conservation of water on the farms of Morrow county, community committee men are in a key position in the fight for continued production. o- Additional Housing Needed During Fair Frank Turner, chamber of commerce rodeo housing chairman this week asked for anyone having rooms they de sire to rent during the fair and rodeo to get in touch with him at the Turner-Van Marter office on Main street.
