We can't all do heart research or treat heart pa- j tients, but we can give gen erously to support the search! for better methods of caring; for heart disease victims." Many national religious leaders have endorsed the 1960 Heart Fund campaign Traylor quoted John Joseph Wright,Bishop of Pittsburgh, as being typical of the statements made by church leaders in support of the campaign: "The Twelfth Annual Heart ' Fund Campaign turns the short est month of the year, Febr- 1 uary, into the month with the | most heart in it. It wiil find many thousands of volunteers I all over America demonstrat | ? ing how generous are their ! hearts by the magnificent part they will play in the success \ of the Campaign for funds. It will result in increased re-;] M search into the diseases which,1 in their varying forms, make < heart disease so menacing a killer of our people. Thus in, < turn will strengthen the hearts of millions, even as the gen- j > erosity revealed in the Cam-! paign itself both exemplifies j i fcnd strengthens the spiritual heart of America." ww aiovn VilVC! ACP Result I A summary just completed |j in the ASC office shows that s 678 Warren County farmers! carried out approved conser-] vation practices and received j ACP cost-sharing assistance] during the 1959 program year. ] T. E. Watson, ASC officer, manager, said that this num-j ber of participating farmers represents 25 per cent of the -V farms in the county but cov-' ers 41 per cent of the cropland. Watson said that the percentage of farms participating in 1958 was 25 per cent and in 1957 26 per cent. | The total assistance in the] county under the ACP was $74,318, which includes $4,116, in small payment increases. The average assistance was $108 per farm. However, a breakdown of payees by size | of payments shows that 45 , per cent of the payments were ' less than $20 and 6 per cent ' less than $100. Watson said the summary shows that the most popular i practice in the county program 1 was winter cover. Some 458 i fanners seeded 2,581 acres of i small grain, crimson clover, 1 wheat, oats, rye and ryegrass. The next most popular was 1 seeding permanent pasture and \ # fescue rotation; 133 farmers I established 639 acres. A total of 68 farms used limestone < alone on 1,114 acres of grasses < or legumes and 747 tons on 1 permanent vegetative cover. i * The forestry practices are ] becoming more popular each t year, Watson added. Twenty i one farmers planted 218 acres of trees under the program fc- and IS farms did forestry im& provement on 220 acres. < A tabulation of the prac- i [ ttees for which Soil Conserve- i tion Service has technical ?u- 1 fc ,' porvlaion shows that 8 water j V< / >?
