in the Extension office.
Jack Tyler and Ernie V/eschen
felder of the. Fire Control Service
were . present and discussed with
the group their plans for fire•
fighting this se-son in the area.!
The Fire Control Service is asking
for the co-operation of every in
dividual in the Velley in the con
trol of fires. The allowance of,
only one man for this immense area
is very inadequate but under their
present appropriation it is the
limit of help that can be station-?
ed here.
The need for more work to:
control wind erosion in the Valley
was felt necessary. The leaving,
of wooded areas, the replanting
of wind breaks and the ai.se of cover
crops were recommendod. 'herever
possible locally adapted trees
ard shrubs should'be used for this
Harold V», Rice, Extension
Agent discussed the 1.41 Agricul-;
tural Conservation program. Some

in such a way as to use the funds
available to obtain the maximum;
amount of conservation that would
not otherwise be ierforred. «ith
this consideration in mind, max-■

CO-a. NOTES
by liat is off to the Palmer
School for the fine history of
the ' at anus l:a Valley they have just
completed and put in booh form
This is hot only a credit to the
class arid School but is also a
credit to the entire Valley. There
has been a very definite n':;ed for
information of this nature, and
these young folks have donn a very
nice job of it. Might I suggest
they commercialize 'the venture
and have them available to tourists.
Prices of commodities aro
still - going up and as usual farm
prices are trailing. However all
government reports indicate there
will be a steady acvance in farm
commodities. V/e are tr ing to
reflect these advances to you. as
fast a3 they come along.
The Army is still cabling for
more milk, which wc hop to be
able to furnish in the near future.
