Farmers who have a conserva tion need on their farm and who have not as yet received approv al, for cost-sharing should contact the ASCS office in Marshall not later than Friday afternoon of this week. Records in the county office show that 1901 farmers have been given approvals to carry out at least one conservation practice on their farm this spring. This compares with a total of 1654 as Goal Is To Furnish New Jobs, Development Of Area I- . 1.11 Til:l J J " . ra"'T '."! is att increase of more than 2 per cent over this same period in 1961. Of the number participating to date; 190 are farmers who have not participated in the program in.jeither, of the yew J959.195P, er 1961. This indicates that more and more farmers are - realizing the benefits of improving ' their farms and are taking advantage of cost-sharing offered them through the Agricultural Conservation Program. In conclusion, Mr, Robinson stat ed that one of the responsibilities of producers who receive approv al under the ACP is to properly use the material and make a re port to the ASCS office when the practice is completed.
