The Board discussed this and many other current problems In this' district. Including the election of some of the supervisors for a new term ot office. Thus far U has been reported that 12 applications have been submitted to the Coventor and State SCS Conservationists for preliminary Investigation o f planning treatment of watersheds under the new Small Watershed BUI passed by Congress at Its last session. With the two more, applications being considered for Oar-field- County and possibly some others In the state it seems that this aspect of conservation may be getting a lot of emphasis In the next few years. I believe most people are glad, to see It. The proper care and treatment of our complete small watershed units Is of prime Importance o our Country and our County. 1 |
