Conservation cropping sys-
tem is the growing of a combi-
nation of crops in a planned
rotation.
Management and sequence
of growing crops brings the de-
sired benefits to meet the
needs of cultivated land for
soil improvement.

Two types of cropping sys
tem may be used on cropland
A drilled small grain each year
on the same area is one typo.
A row crop combination with
a planned rotation of the crops
is another type.
High residue crops whether
drilled or part of a planned
row cropping system when fer
tilized becomes soil improving
crops.
Assistance and information
is available to cooperators and
landowners to help them work
out a planned conservation
cropping system.

Don't Forget to Vote
FOR on Feb. 14th
You are urged to vote this coming Satur-
day on the proposition to issue Water and
Sewer Revenue Bonds to finance the bond
issue for the Recreational Lake Area rather
than pledging the revenue from the Light
System because it is the City's main source
of income
This is not an election to vote for or
or against the Recreational Lake Area. It has
been approved in two previous elections.
The additional $25000 bond issue to be
voted on is a safeguard against additional
costs over the $175000 approved so far. If
not needed they will not be issued; but any
portion issued will carry the same low inte-
rest rate as the original bond issue less than
3.
We strongly urge you to vote and ap-
prove the method of retiring the bonds by
Water and Sewer revenues.
