G. Watts, chair man of the Columbia county agri cultural conservation association. A handbood describing the program for this year And the practices offered, together with their rates of payment, has been prepared by the county office and will be sent to the farmers of the county during the month of February. Mr. Watts points out that each farmer should study this handbook very thoroughly and plan his own conservation pro gram on his farm accordingly. Payments are being offered for the completion of 33 different conservation practices this year. One of the important practices which practically every farmer should take advantage of is the application of fertilizers, mainly lime and phosphate. The farmer may place his own order for lime at the time he signs a farm plan. This lime will be delivered in sacks or delivered and spread in bulk if the farmer so desires for a cost of between three to four dollars per ton depending on the distance from the lime plant. De liveries will be made on orders of six tons or more. The balance of the cost is paid through the conservation program. This is an opportunity no farmer can af- ford to miss. * For phosphate, a payment of 4*4 cents per pound of available P2o5 will be made; however, the, farmer must purchase the phos phate himself directly from the dealer and save his receipts until the end of the year. Other important practices in this year’s program include pay ment for the construction of open or tile drainage ditches. The pay ments are 8c a cubic yard of earth moved or 50 per cent of cost, whichever is smaller, for open ditches, and 80 cents per rod for tile or 3*4 per board foot for lumber. Payment is also made for im proving grazing land by several practices which are offered, in cluding the development of springs, seeding approved pas ture mixtures, constructing stock trails, and building fences. Another important practice is weed control. Payment is being offered for the use of 2,4d, so dium chlorate, borax, and clean cultivation for the control of weeds. Mr. Watt3 brings out that these are only a few of the practices being offered. Meetings will be held in February in the various communities for the purpose of taking sign-ups of farmers wish ing to" take part in 1947. These dates wjll be announced in the near future. Any one wishing information about the 1947 program is asked to come to these meetings or con tact the county office in St. Helens, where any questions will be answered and detailed specifi cations on how these practices should be carried out will be fur nished. One thing to remember is that a farm plan must be filed in the Miss Sally Bateman and Betty Dunn of Portland were week end guests of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Olinger.
