a great number of complaints from residents

EXTENSION SERVICES ADVISES PROBABLE
NEW RULING SOIL CONSERVATION PROGRAM
"Mr. 1.11. C.Anderson, D-strict Agent of the
Extension Service, has advice this week
that it is quite probable that a lievz plan
fer compensation for fertilisers used nay
nakc it possible for these rith snail farms
and snail acreage under cultivation to
profit by the soil conservation program.
Heretofore, no sun loss than $20.00 has
been paid. As a result many local farmers
have been una.ble to secure anything ns theii
acreage was so snail that they could not
qualify. It will now be possible to quadi$
on the following basis: a maximum Of $3.00
per acre plus an additional $12.00 over and
above the total amount.
All those who would be qualified under such
a pirn are asked to check rith Mr. Anderson
in his office in the Palmer Schcolhcuse cn
Wednesdays or Saturdays, or at the Experi
mental Earn at Matanuska on any other day.
