' Engineer Hansen explained that t:.e effluent from septic tanks would surface on each lot and thus create a serious health hazard. Over 50 percent of the farms in the Lewiston area are involved in the dairy business and improper sewage disposal would pose a hazard' to the farmers. It was also observed by the group that, the water table is extremely high in Lewiston with water, easily observed from two to indies below the surface. Hansen stated that a preliminary engineers report been .(Ubmitted but that lurtiher studies and surveying would have to be completed. He estimated that the project would cost approximately ' The main lines $300,000.00. would run north and south and east and west of the main street intersection with the lagoons being located in the direction of the cemetery. lie stated that it would taka six months to complete the project once the funding and bids had been obtained.

Fieldmen for the Lewiston factory conducted the meeting, under direction of Robert Petersen, district manager. Fieldmen include Jesse Harris, ' ' Smithfield; of Woodrow Butterworth, Zan Clifton, Franklin; Litz, ' Dayton; Gaylord Larson, Grace, Bancroft, Arimo; Steven Westover, Lewiston. Theme for the program this year is Preparing for Total Mechanization of All our Crop. Jesse Haris of Smith-fiel- d addressed the group concerning field preparation. He stated that 15 years ago the monogram seed and mechanized harvesters were introduced. Now in the past one or two years total surface control of weeks by ' chemicals and mechanical thinning has been introduced and accepted. With the advent of the electronic thinning devices more precautions and better soil preparation is necessary. He encouraged l.ie farmers to disc the ground to dispose of refuse from previous plantings; deep plow eight to 12 inchets, fumigate, apply fertilizer, prepare the seed bed and incorporate herbasidcs either in the fall or early spring. Just prior to planting he advised them to conserve moisture prepare a smooth, firm, level field by combining more than one of these operations in order to minimize packing the ground with heavy equipment. Fieldman Zan Litz slated that the objective of the and' en-w- to At the recent growers meeting of Amalgamat- AT AMALGAMATED MEETING Woodrow Jesse were Butterworth, Robert Fctcrson. Zan Litz, Gay- Harris, ed Sugar The Citizen Photo lord Larson and Steven Westover. uniform weeds and good spring planting of sugar beets. lie encouraged the farmers to plant beet seed at about 2i miles per hour in order to get 100 of the seeds planted. If the tractor travels at a rate of five miles per hour it is likely that only 44 of the seeds will be planted by the drills. Gaylord Larson stated that the chemical operation of the beet field is a reality. There are specific requirements that must be met which will eliminate all hand labor. Soil fumigation has proven to be very successful with some fields producing better crops following repeated sugar beet crops than when they started. Chemical weed control is needed to facilitate the proper requirements in field preparation. Field studies have proven that mechanized sugar beet production is cheaper than hand labor in the Jong run. Steven Westover discussed cultivation and harrowing and suggested proper timing is of utmost importance. Woodrow enButterworth couraged the farmers to use better harvesting techniques in order to avoid harvest waste. He discussed in great detail the top saving process for supplemented cattle feed. Robert Petersen, district manager, discussed toe availability of more electronic thinning devices. He stated that the company was bringing more into the area with qualified operators on a lease or custom basis. dis-th- 1 u : West Siders In Conies!
