Reason for severing football
relations with Eugene were not
?;iven, but are suspected to stem
rom deep dissatisfaction .with
the Axemen football field, a
muddy swamp in which the Pels
ruined some $800 worth of new
uniforms last fall. There was
a public clamor at the time of
tnat game to quit scneuuuus
gene.
The tentative schedule for
the Pelicans next fall will have
the season starting about the
middle of September, and for
that event a three-pronged
gridiron jamboree between the
Pels, Lakeview and PrinevUle

Each team would Dlav each
other team half a game, making

The recent switch in state dis
tricts puts Klamath in the same
district as Prineville and Lake

schedule is much as it has been
in the past. Grant high of Port
land will come south for the
seventh straight year to be the
Pelican opponent in the first big
contest on Modoc field. Salem
and Ashland are down for the
next two home games.
The nevt tilt on the oroijosed
slate is with Grants Pass, to be
played there. Grants Pass will
no longer be in the same dis
trict with ituns, unaer tne set
up adopted for next year.
The Medford game will be
staged on Modoc field. Then

Last two games on the sched

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. , ; .
