He also stated that Secretary cited response of farmers and ranchers to the redirected emphasis of REAP in 1971, and their willingness to match, or exceed, additional Federal Investments in pollu- tion prevention and abatement, as a major factor in providing the additional funds for REAP Make-It-With-W- in funds to be expendedfor pollution abatement practices, according to the Secretary of 1970 Agriculture. Last year, 77 farmers participated in Summit County REAP, generally on a 50-- 50 cost-sha- re basis. Of considerable importance in relation to the Areas pollution abatement practices, eleven Animal Waste Storage Facilities were completed in our county with a cost-sha- re received by these participating of over $15,700. This was matched by the farmers with their own funds in order to in- stall these facilities. Each REAP Practice ap- proved by the ASC County Committee must have related soil and water benefits, the ASC Chairman said, so we cant help with every problem on the farm. We will, however, be able to help many farmers solve their agriculture related pollution problems. Mr. Foster invited farmers to stop in their ASCS county office to discuss their conservation problems. 76th RIRTHDAY An open house in honor of Uncle Heb McNeils 76th birthday was held Sunday evening at the home of his daughter, Don and Fae Keves.
