Those who have Infestations of any type of perennial noxious weeds are reminded that the ACP cost-sharing practice is an excellent opportunity to help with the cost of control. The cost-sharing amounts to approx imately 50 of the cost ol the material used. Every week sev eral ranchers call at the office for recommendations in prepar ation to signing up with the lo cal ASC office for this cost sharing practice. 17. S.
