Some of ' the practices on which . cost-sharing is available are: 'Applying lime to land de voted to eligible legumes and grasses in 1961 or which will be devoted to these eligible crops in 1962; improving pas tures; establishing additional acreage of vegetative cover in crop rotation; establishing winter cover crops of small grain, le gumes or grasses constructing open drainage .ditches; install ing . drainage tile; constructing farm ' ponds; forest tree plant ing; forest improvement. The Agricultural Conservation Program will assist the farmer in meeting the conservation needs on his farm, funds are made available through this pro gram to approve practices on every farm in the county. : Farms on which cost-share assistance has already been ap proved during 1961 will very likely not be able to receive a second approval due to limited funds. Fatm owners or operators on farms not already participating are urged to visit the Perquim ans ASCS office during August 15-31 and file a request for cost-share assistance on some needed conservation' practices.
