00 m Federal cost-shares for con
servation work on the fan. This
money has already been put into
circulation in establishing Conser
vation practices on the farm.
The ASC County Committee
processed more than 6,000 pur
chase orders totaling some $105,-
000.00.
"These payments are made to
vendors folks who sell trees, grass
seed, lime and fertilizer, or con
tractors who sell services like earth

money directly boosts our local
economy," Robinson said
He also pointed out that the
government share is only a part
of the total cost. The farmer al
so stands part of the cost, putting
up cash, labor, materials or equip
ment.

QmiM ' the critical nroblems of
unemployment throughout the
country is not the number of peo-
tble unemployed because of insuf
lie tent employment opportuni
ties, states Harry G. Silver, coun
ty agent. The real problem is that
a large number of the unemploy
ed are not trained for specific
employment. With this realiza
tion tile Federal government has
established two training programs
for people desiring to learn skills
and trades in order that they may
be able to find employment.
