mercial booths have been re
served, with thirteen adult and
iuvenile organization booths
spoken for. Three outside ex
hibits have been arranged for. 1
The program for the 4-H home

o
Dates of County
PMA Elections Set
Community PMA elections will
be held in each of Morrow countys
nine farm communities from Aug.
28 to Sept. 12., Raymond Lundell
chairman of the county PMA
committee announced today.
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.
