CONSERVATION
NOTES
L*w Hank*
The land «tearing ha*
xtarted Grorfr Small and Dave
Bryant haw started clearing <»p
cration# that I know of, There
may be uthern Tliene men have
done amie good clearing job* in
the pant I've looked over several
of them Th« Soil Conservation
Service ha* received a li*t of ap
plicant* for land clearing pay
ment* from the Extension Ser
vice
It i* our intention to inspect
each prospective clearing prior to
dozing That is our responsibility.
The purpose of prior inspection is
twofold. First to check your soil
so that both you and ! are sure
the land will be famiable after
you spend your money dealing
it. Second, to help you lay out
windbreak locations to both your
and our satisfaction. The Exten
sion Service cannot pay for clear
ing if it exposes a field to more
intense wind erosion.
An approval by the Soil Con
servation Service is not assurance
that you will be paid for clearing.
The Extension Service sends out
that approval. The S.C.S. can
only certify that your land is
feasible to clear for farmland or
that the job v.as done satisfactori
ally. You can’t be paid unless the
clearing job is certified by the
S.C.S. as satisfactory.
We hope that approval for
payment for 5 acres can be made.
This as well as the final approval
of applicants for payment will be
determined by the Farm Plan
ning Committee which was elect
ed bv the farmers by mail vote to
Mr. Blue some months ago. Good
luck on your land clearing. It's
lots of work but it is the only
way we'll make a fanning coun
try out of Alaska.
