This equipment was rented by the district to cooperating farmers- - The Soil Conservation Service, who is cooperating with the district, surveyed these fields and the first precise leveling job was accomplished in the Valley. Since that small beginning nearly 15,000 acres have been leveled at a total cost to the farmers of the valley of $560,000.00. This amounts to 3,525,000 cubic yards of earth moved. This would make quite a dam if it were all stacked up together. The average farmer claims that this leveling job pays for itself in two years. This means that each acre leveled has an increased annual yield of $17.50. Also the average farmer claims he can irrigate the leveled fields with 25 to 35 per cent less watnon-Mi- ut er. What does this reduced of water requirement per acre mean to the Valley? It means that, that much water is not being applied to the land to aggravate the drainage prob- lem. LeRoy Forsgren, a long time official of the Corinne drainage district believes that many of the fields that he is acquainted with would not have needed draining if they had been leveled first. Some of the local farmers estimate that the discharge from the drains have been cut in half due to land leveling and improved methods of irrigation. The supervisors plain to investigate and compare the amount of water discharged out of the Corinne drainage system in the last ten years.

According to the report, peas wiil bring the same price on the various grades as during the past year. A reduction in the price for seed was made houwever, of $1.18 a bushel, the price being set at $5.00. This price is considerably below the cost of the seed on the market, and the difference in the cost is to be absorbed by the canner. In case of crop failure, the total cost of seed will be cancelled and absorbed by the canner so that no seed charge will be held over for the following year. The association officers fell this contract is a very satisfactory one in view of the holdover of canned products and the prices resulting therefrom. The pea industry has proven to be one of advantage in rotation practice and a very profitable crop, since occasional disappointments occur in all crops, and on the average the pea crop is as dependable as others. The same price of $25 per ton on corn was also agreed on, and in consideration of prices paid in competitive areas, and the holdover, the contract is considered very satisfactory. Attention is called by the association officers to the extra livestock fed accruing from peas and corn, which is a factor to be considered, as well as the payroll resulting from processing said crops m the area where canning factories are operated. They strongly urge support for the canning in&rsVry, which provides a market for special crops, otherwise not available. License Sale Early Resident of Scheduled MIA LEADERSHIP Isaac L.
