nounced that Rabies Clinics have
been scheduled for some areas of
Madison County on May 7 and 8.

afford protection against rabies
for three years. State Law re
quires that all dogs four months1

vent endless anxiety, as well as
help to eradicate rabies. Protect
your family and your pet. Do
your part in obtaining public
health protection for your whole
community. If dog owners keep
their dogs immunised through
vaccination, rabies will no longer
be a problem.

Mr. A. P. Hassell Jr., executive
director for the Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation state
committee, reports that the 1962
AUP brought a substantial up
swing in the ainsimf of AGP cost
sharing which ASC county com
mittees used to accelerate the
land treatment measures in wa
tersheds for which organised pro
grams have been developed. The
ACP helps farmers attain the lev
el of conservation treatment on
their lands necessary to meet leg
islative prerequisites for the in
stallation of small watershed pro
gram works of improvement. Then
the ACP assistance helps farmers
to undertake the remain land
treatment measures needed to
complete the program.
Mr. Hassell pointed out that the
ACP also helps farmers to con
tinue the soil, water, woodland,
and wildlife conservation practices
necessary to protect and enhance
the land after the watershed pro
gram has been installed.
Farmers having a conservation
problem are encouraged to visit
their ASCS county office and find
out how ACP cost-sharing can
help them solve their conserva
tion problems.
