Cooperative dam plan eyed near Rock Creek Road
County officials and farmer Leo Ferguson discussed a joint cooperative dam and road project on Rock Creek Road. The plan would share an estimated 15000 cost with Rural Environmental Assistance Program contributing 2500 and county road funds debated. Ferguson may build the lake solo at 5500, or with county help, the dam becomes the road itself, 200 feet from the road, with the project serving emergencies and reducing road maintenance.

Quail A Stimulating Hobby By JOANISTAS
David Bunch of 114 S. Locust raises quail as a hobby and keeps hundreds of birds in home pens and an upstairs incubator. He breeds Egyptian quail, bobwhite, and Chuker with varied egg colors and hatching times. Quail care is labor intensive with feeding twice daily and careful humidity control. The birds face mortality from cold, predators, and overheating. Quail meat and eggs are sold, and Bunch notes their tastes and sounds, though he expects to tire of the hobby eventually.

He recounts how deforestation and plowing increased runoff, spurring soil loss until terraces and soil saving methods emerged by 1945, improving protection against wind and water erosion.
