Mr. A. p. Tutt of Taft, in the
Mud Flats Conservation Group has
worked out a conservation plan on
his farm with the aid of Soil Con-
servation Service technicians. Mr.
Tutt has had terraces for several
years, but has not been pleased
with them. After making a com-
plete survey, it was determined that
these terraces were too far down
the hill and were badly overloaded.
Mr. Tutt plans to construct addi-
tional terraces, plant one fourth of
his farm to legumes each year, and
return ss much .organic matter as
possible to the soil. Mr. Tutt stated
that he is convinced that planting
legumes for soil improvement pays
dividends. He said that he always
makes the best feed where he had
peas the year before.
Mr. E. W. Turner of Gregory in
the Mud Flats Conservation Group
has also completed plans for a com-
plete soil and water conservation
program on his farm adjoining the
bay. Mr. Turner has an assortment
of trouble in that part of his farm
stays too wet and on other parts
the water gets off tod rapidly and
takes soil with it as it goes. Terris
fig washes are also forming near
the bottom of the slope where the
water enters the bay. He intends to

terrace all of his relatively steep
land, the discharge water spilling
on a weil sodded pasture. For the
poorly drained soil, he plariB to re-
work the present drainage ditch
and keep it clean. To keep up tho
soil fertility, he will frequently
plant legumes and return crop res-
idue to the soil.
Mr. Evans Butler, near Odem, In
the Odem Conservation Group is
having his first experience with
contouring. He says he needs more
water and wants to do everything
he can to hold it as it falls, Mr;
Butler is also plantings consider-
able acreage to peas for soil im-
provement. Phosphate was applied
before planting.
Technicians of the Soil Gonsqrva-
tion Service have iqniph ted jbe
running of terrace lines on Paul
Hill’s farm in the Eads Conserva-
tion 'Grbtip. Mr. Hill says he had
much rather farm straight rows,
but by saving moisture and .soft, In-
can increase his yield. Tin* extra
income will much, more limn pay
for his trouble. Mr. .1 I.. BUI’.use

.HINEAS is an eager economizer. He decided to liquidate his frozen j
assets by selling his electric refrigerator. Naturally, without refrigeration,
his food will spoil—but that can easily be avoided by eating out of cans.
He won’t gain much weight but he will save about five cents a dey. Accord-
~ ing to his figuring, such a substantial saving will surely help balance his
budget in these days of high living costs.
A "«.. *
And by selling his wife’s electric sewing machine, Phineas pinched a few
njore pennies. He figured, since Grandma made all the family clothes by
* A -
handf, his wife could, too. Course, stitching by hand takes a lot of time and
. tf a little hard on the eyes but for every eight hours the sewing machine
doesvit run, they’ll save a whole penny. .
I As most folks who live electrically can plainly see, Phineas is practicing
false economy, He may save a few cents on his electric bill, but he loses
a lot in time, money, comfort and convenience. We hope his money-saving
methods serve to show how little electricity costs for the many, many
■' jobs it does for you. Actually, it’s a bargain of a lot for a little in any-
<r ’< body’s budget.
