Soil Board Plans
Area Meetings
Plans were formulated for a
series of farm planning meetings
to be held under the jurisdiction
of members of the board of su
pervisors of the Palmer Soil
Conservation District, at a re
cent district supervisor’s meet
ing.
The plan, as outlined, is that
each supervisor will conduct a
series of meetings among the
farmers residing in his area. The
meetings, first of which will be
evening meetings, are designed
to help the individual farmer
plan necessary conservation ac
tivities for his own farm. Con
servation surveys, which are now
being checked by James Hurley
of the local Soil Conservation of
fice, are expected to be avail
able for each farm.
The first of these scheduled
meetings is being held by Henry
Jensen, and will take place to
night. Other meeting dates will
be announced for specific areas,
as soon as the supervisors have
prepared the meeting calendar.
Applications for assistance
were approved at the supervisor’s
meeting, and the board’s official
meeting date of the first Mon
day in each month, was confirm
ed. However the November meet
ing will be omitted, because of
the lateness of the October gath
ring.
The supervisors also discussed
tentative plans for the purchase
of soil conservation farm ma
chinery, which might be made
available through a machinery
pool. No definite action was tak
en on this matter.
Supervisors approved the pub
lication of a small pamphlet
which will outline the work of
the local Soil Conservation Dis
trict.
Members of the Palmer board
include Lucius Ross, chairman,
Clarence Hoffman, Clair Patten,
Henry Jensen and Bill Roark.
