Morrow County Chamber of
Commerce.
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.

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

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. Im

Grain Growers
To Make Payment
On Certificates
Morrow County Grain Growers
announced -juedusav tnat It la
caning in for payment all smiles
12 capital reserve certificates is
sued on the 116J crop. ,
The total payment to all grow
ers will amount to about S125.-
000. 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.

It would be possible to cet one
