SO]L CONSERVATION BENEFIT
Howard Estelle has gone to Homer
on Extension business and has
appointed John Q Adams to assist
in surveying the crops of the
Valley for Soil Conservation.
Since It is impossible for one
person to survey a field alone,
accurately, each farmer is re
quested to assist in the survey
df his own farm. This is the
only requirement in receiving
the soil conservation benefit,
providirig the crop has. been
planted according to specified
requirements.
Hr.Adams will be out In Districts
2,3, and 4 this following week.
Also, he plans to make it as con
vient as possible-for instanae
if he can see a binder working in
one field and not in another he
will pass the first place until
latee. Please cooperate when he
arrives. This will greatly help
to hasten the work, which must
be completed within the next
two weeks. It would be advisable
to contact Mr.Adams before hand
and make arrangements for him
to be a t your place .
AMERICAN LEGION ELECTS
NEW OFFICERS
The American Legion held their
regular meeting at Matahuska
Tuesday Sept. 26,. Election of
officers occupied the major
portion of the evening's business.
New officers for the next year
are as follov/s: Post commander,
L.P.Rorrison, 1st. Vice comman
der, J*Ely, 2nd.Vice gommander,
L.Arndt, Adjutant , W V/.Head,
Finance officer,'A .A .Johnson,
Sergeant at arms-, D.Onkka,'Histor
ian, Neil Hiller, Chaplain, B.J.
Blngle ,Executive officer, A.A.
Johnson,.
The call now goes out to every
eligible man in the valley for
his membership. There are two
important issues which must be
«
supported by membership and it
is essential that this Post have
its full quota. Those of you who
have missed many meetings should
come occasionally (when your
work permits) and. become acquaint
ed with what goes on. Teetings
are snappier, we get home earlier
and are accomplishing good work.
The last several meetings have
been stag and'we shall have more
in the future, alternated with
joint meetings of the auxiliary
as no Post can function ICO %
without the auxiliary ladies.
V.'e hope every man will respond
with his membership this year and
turn out to bigger and peppier
meetings.
CO-OP NOTES
Unless we are badly mistaken the
man with cowa should be in a very
favorable position next year.
Advance prices on potatoes and
cabbage and other storage crops
will be set as soon as the storage
cellar is complete which should
be 4'ithin a few days.
