Orvllle Cutsforth, chairman of the county parks commission, said that "substantially more money" is needed to make im provements at Cutsforth park and at the new Anson Wright Memorial park. He also .suggest ed that reservoirs could be con structed quite easily at North Jones Prairie and Herren Mead ows, each of which would be larger than Bull Prairie. How- ever, each Is under private own ership, and present owners do not wish to sell, he said. He suggested that with elec tricity to be available at Cuts forth park, coin meters may be Installed for trailer service. Sewer connections and septic tanks could be installed for trailers and perhans concrete slabs laid. However, this would require more budget, and this year's county buugct for parks! has been reduced from the $1000 oi last year to $700. Trout Co Fast Cutsfortli said that 3,000 trout were used to stock the pond at the park this year but "1,000 people got them in three davs. then added, "It isn't that bad. Dut it s a good way to put it." lie said mat in another vear there will need to be more bud geted for the two to provide for trailer station. mi'iuwuk urn uiai mis ivDe or camping is becoming "the thing." Suggestion was made from another member that perhaps the Cutsforth pond should be re served for children and young people. A reservoir could be construc ted at North Jones Prairie to provide a lake of 30 acres, and Cutsforth said he believed the work could be done in a week. At Herren Meadows, a 60-acre reservoir could be provided.

Al Lamb, treasurer, said. This should prove a real boost to our county s economy," he added. Money for the payment comes from later years' profits. Lamb said that the cooperative will continue such retirements as earnings build up new Invest ments through retention of the earnings of later patrons. The firm has asked that hold ers of the certificates endorse them to receive full payment, or. if preferred, the cooperative will issue CJass A Preferred Stock bearing five percent in terest In units of $50 per share. 'This money was credited to growers as their share of profits made during the 1953 crop year on the basis of patronage," Lamb said. Since growers were required to pay federal income! taxes on the sum when the stock certificates were issued, no more federal taxes must be paid. Growers who receive payment for the certificates need only to be able to show that the earn ings were declared previously.
