City Delivery Service. Ph. 8417 there's cow NEIGHBOR. MR. FARMER We re not trying to tell you how to run your business. We only want to remark that weve often noticed, while driving through the country, that cows seem to graze where the grass grows greenest Maybe they're not as smart as horses, but they do know good grazing. Some of our farm friends have been telling us how they keep their grass greener, and how they increase crop yields generally. They're doing it, they tell us, through CONSERVA TION FARMING. They're testing their soil to see what it requires. They use lime where needed, phosphates and other fertilizers, cover crops, and erosion control practices . , . all of which add up to more and better feed, more and better milk, and richer soil for. future farming. Maybe you need more conservation practices than you're carrying out now. If so, it's to your advantage to see your local Agricultural Conservation Committee for information on how the Agricultural Conservation Program can assist.- Chairman of the local County Agricultural Conservation (AAA) Committee is Burrell Short of Klamath Falls. The committee exists for your benefit and you are urged to avail yourself of its facilities. , ; .
