Soil Conservation, USD A Pact Updated
Secretary of Agriculture Or-
ville L. Freeman has announced
the updating and broadening of
the agreement which provides
the official basis for coopera-
tion between the USDA and lo-
cal soil conservation districts.
According to the announce-
ment, the USDA is now ready
to enter into this revised agree-
ment which will offer help to
districts “in conserving and
improving soil, water, vegeta-
tion, wildlife and related sourc-
es, and in reducing damage by
flood and sedimentation.”
The new memorandum will
be used with all newly formed
districts. Agreements with ex-
isting districts will be re-
negotiated using the new docu-
ment as rapidly as they wish
to do so, the Secretary said.
Updating USDA’s assistance
to districts comes on the 25th
anniversary of the district move-
ixicnt. In Texas, 182 soil con-
servation districts, including 98
per cent of the state’s privately
owned agricultural and forestry
land, have entered into agree-
ments with USDA for help in
conserving soil and water re-
sources.

Rites for Brother
Of Paducah Woman
Held in New Mexico
Mrs. T. N. Foster returned to
her home here recently after at-
tending the funeral of her bro-
ther, Rev. O. L. Oldham, in
Ruidosa, N. M.
Rev. Oldham, 75, died April
1 at Ruidosa. Funeral services
were conducted on April 4 with
burial in the Tinnie, N. M.,
cemetery.
He retired from the Baptist
ministry 10 years ago and re-
sided at Ruidosa. He had since
taught a men’s Bible class and
supplied many churches in that
area.
He was ordained by the Bap-
tist Church at the age of 16
and was called to pastor the
Adobe Church near Elida, N. M.,
when he was 18. He was paster
of the Tinnie, N. M., church for
many years.
Don't Lose Your Boat Key
It’s a mighty disturbing ex-
perience to see your boat key
drop overboard and sink out of
sight.
A little forethought can pre-
vent this tradegy.
With a small bolt and nut,
simply secure your key between
the forks of a wooden clothes-
pin. Should the key then drop
overboard, it will float on the
surface of the water until re-
trieved.

phosphorus, say Ohio State Uni-
versity Extension agronomists.

a cow. If the cow produces only

per year, she actually is not
paying for her feed.
