County Farm Office Notes by Wesley Green
POMEROY The extension office closes at noon Saturday until further notice, while the agricultural conservation department stays open until work ends. Extension agents will be out of the county from Wednesday noon to next Monday for the annual summer extension conference. Plans for checking performance in the 1938 agricultural conservation program were made at a reporters meeting. Every farmer will be visited to indicate interest and reporters will explain the project. Some good farm managers are complying with the program and are not eligible for aid. Farm visits should be completed by Aug 15. Figures on the 1938 wheat acreage will be sought to set next year’s allotments. Haying time is over for most Southern Ohio farms, with many farmers already storing hay.
