Representatives of channel 2,

taking aerial pictures of the
three major water conservation

made into a motion picture
which will be available for
showing in the county. The Soil
Conservation Service Office is to
receive word as to the time of
the TV program and as soon
as this information is received,
it will be made known.
Included in the film are in
terviews with outstanding con
servation farmers: Raymond
Lundell, Bill McCIintock, Paul
Brown, Garland Swanson and
Kenneth Turner.
These men all indicated they
would accept movie contracts if
the price was right, if the West
ern was to their liking, and if
there were no love scenes with
those beautiful girls from Hol
lywood. They all had their rea
sons. While In the air the visitors
also took pictures of other con
servation practices: Farm ponds,
grassed waterways, windstrip
cropping, Willow Creek channel
repair, rotational grass eeedings,
diversion ditches in the mak
ing, armstead windbreaks, sub

ion control dams, irrigation
sprinklers in action, range con
