AUTO ACCIDENT (Continued)
tho bridge to a new location a fow
rods down stream. The changes in
location will eliminate the sharp
turn, but in the meantime is it
out of order to suggest that the
trees and brush be cut from tho
corner and a warning sign be placed
to aclvise the motorist that he is
approaching danger. Several ac
cidents have occurred at this point
A recent check-up me.do by the
| District Extension Agent on the
number of farmers cooperating in
the Soil Conservation Pro. ram for
'1941, it v/as found that 112 farmers
applied for soil conservation pay
j runts on a total of ISSc.S acres
.of oats and peas. An estimated
yield has been made of approxima
tely 1-g- tons of hay per acre
: throughout the Valiev, There arc
also 2 2 acres of’oats and vetch,
120 acres of oats, peas and vetch,
and 52 acres of barley and vetch
planted this season.
It appears nov; that there v/ill
bo a sufficient amount of hay in
the Valley this year to carry the
livestock through the winter if
the farmers arc able to get their
hay cured and stacked before bad
v/oather sets in. Quite a variation
has been reported to the "intension
Office on the yields per acre of
the threshed grain. A fev; patches
of straight peas arc being harvest
ed and threshed.
The final work shoots for the
conservation payments have not
been received at the Extension
Office to date, Hov/evcr, watch
the Valiev Settler for further an
nouncements concerning the neces
sary sign-ups.
