CONSERVATION
NOTES
By Cliff Marcus
The purpose of your local soil
conservation subdistrict is to
help farmers either individually
or in groups to conserve their
valuable soil and water resources
and plan the best use of the land.
A conservation farm plan is
the basis for good farming. One
does not build a house without
a blueprint and therefore one
should also have a farm plan to
aid him in determining which
land should be used for each
crop. Soil Conservation calls for
treating each acre of land accord
ing to its capabilities. This means
leaving windbreaks for wind er
osion protection; contouring,
strip cropping and stubble-mul
ching the land as needed; along
with use of supporting measures
of crop rotations, cover and green
manure crops, etc., whenever re
quired. It means building farm
ponds; planting steep, erodible
land to grass; developing good
pastures; and devoting good
management to them after they
have been applied.
Your local soil conservation
subdistrict, organized and run by
. farmers, has asked the Soil Con
servation Service for assistance
and has been receiving both tech
nical and engineering assistance.
This technical and engineering
assistance is available to farmers
and homesteaders by contacting
their local subdistrict supervisors
or the Soil Conservation Service
! office.

MOOSE ELEVEN TO MEET ANCHORAGE
EAGLES IN LOCAL GAME OCTOBER I
Palmer football fans will be
traeated to at least one local
football game this year when the
Palmer Moose team will take on
the Anchorage Eagles at the Fair
Grounds stadium. The date is
Saturday, October 1.
In a decision reached by school
officials of the two schools late
last week, it was decided that
two games would be played this
year: one in Palmer and one in
Anchorage. In the Palmer game,
Anchorage’s line will be limit
ed to ten reserves and the var
sity quarterback, Jay Walker.
This restriction stemmed from
an attempt by officials to even
up the squads and compensate
somewhat for the much longer
practice advantage enjoyed by
the Eagles. The Anchorage team
has been practicing steadily
since August 15; the Palmer
team, for only two weeks. Also,
the much greater enrollment of
Anchorage High—1500 against
185 in Palmer—was considered a
handicap for the smaller school.
will prepare a soils map for your
farm and show you the capabil
ity of each piece of land. This
will help you to determine which
land is best for clearing. The Soil
Conservation Service will give
you on the site technical assist
ance regarding establishment of
conservation practices necessary
to keep your productive and to
prevent erosion. There is no
charge for the assistance to farm
ers and homesteaders.
Members of Coach Norman
Rousey’s squad enjoyed a prac
tice scrimmage with the visit
ing Huntsville (Texas) Hornets,
: winners of the first Santa Claus
Bowl game in Anchorage Last
Saturday. Rousev expressed a
modest opinion of the showing
made by the local boys against
the practiced visitors, but the
experience, he declared, was in
valuable. Anchorage observers
were impressed with the Moose
players.
Coach Rousev revealed this
week the names of 21 players
who may be observed every
afternoon getting a work-out for
the coming game. They are:
Robert Barry. Paul Campbell,
Norman Stadem, Richard Free

The approximately 14 x 40 foot
