Comanche ASC to Spend 88100 on Soil Building Programs
The Comanche county Agricultural Conservation Office receives 88100 for soil building practices under the ACP for 1957, manager Bill Sieg says the amount is slightly below last year. About 4400 is transferred to the Soil Conservation Service for engineering. ASC pays 50 percent for most practices and up to 70 percent for permanent types. Estimates may total less than 88100 since prior year funds were used. About 120000 was spent in 1956 enlarging ponds and building new ones. Sieg notes ASC costs require prior request, and two rules apply: alfalfa not on bottomland and treated land cannot be grazed for two years. For more, contact ASC at 407 N Second.
