Deadline.
The Malheur County Agricultural
Conservation Association is busily
engaged in completing the sign-up
of applications for payment under
the 1936 Agricultural Conservation
Program and the execution of work
sheets for new signers for the 1937
program is being carried out.
The majority of the 819 farmers
participating in the 1936 program
should receive payment in the very
near future as applications will be
forwarded to the state office for
payment within the next few days.
The sign-up for the 1937 program
is being conducted by the community
rommitteemen elected in the var
ious communities and must be com
pleted by March 1, 1937. The quota
set for Malheur county is 800 new
work sheets for the 1937 program.
Those who signed a work sheet in
1936 will not be required to file an
other work sheet. Work sheets are
being taken only from those who are
coming into the Program for the
first time.
Any fnrmer in Malheur County
who is interested in the Program
should get in touch with his com
munity committeemen for the filing
of work sheets. If this cannot be
done work sheets may be prepared
at the county office in the city hall
at Ontario.
It should be remembered that
March 1. 1937 has been set as the
closing date for the receiving of
work sheets and there is no indica
tion at the present time that this
time limit will be extended.
