As fields are cultivated, crops harvested, and pastures used, the farmer can get specific ideas of what is needed to protect the soil and what should be done to build up to meet the Nation's needs for the years ahead. In making the checkup, the Chairman has the following suggestions: Where there are indications that the soil is becoming depleted of organic matter, plans can be made to include a sod crop in rotation. The amount of lime and fertilizers needed for a good growth can be estimated. On some fields erosion may be starting as a result of heavy rains in recent weeks. The crops to be grown and the conservation practices to be carried out to check soil loss can be worked into the over pragram for next year's operation.

The effectiveness of conservation which are being. out this year can be checked and plans be made to build on the foundation of past and present conservation accomplishments. Observing pastures and hayland will show up conditions where improvements can be made. Some pastures may need to be plowed up and reseeded to improve varieties of grass and legumes. In other instances, a stockwater dam may result to better distribution of grazing and result in greater conservation of land, water, and forage.

By looking ahead and planning for 1952, Chairman Green gests, farmers will be able to make full use of the Agricultural Conservation Program. Practices can be selected and adapted to correct the most urgent defic-1 iencies, and plans can be made to use other services available throught the Production and Marketing Administration. Information on conservation practices, price supports, farm storage, construction loans, and other PMA responsibilities can be obtained at County PMA office at Rolla.

HURRY Paulsell's Shee Repair Shop for money saving values and expert Rolla, Mo. repairing Time Table Given For Freezes That Do Damage to Crops Several Phelps County farmers are discussing the question of how late crops may be planted and expect them to mature for hay, grain or silage. This is particularly important to some farmers this year who have some land to try to get into crops, says Bob Bridges, county agent.

The question is asked, "What is average killing freeze date for Phelps County and what does it mean?" The average freeze date means very little as actual value as half the years it will on an average freeze before that date and half the years will freeze later. To give the best possible information the College of Agriculture has figured out variables taking three stages of freezes and figuring out at what freezing they occur. This is to give the best estimate for past experience how frequently the three stages of killing temperatures occur, SO farmers can use their own good judgment about planting late crops. Light Freeze 28 to 32 Most plants only light damage in air drained areas, heavy damage to tender plants in low land. Moderate Freeze 24 to 28 degrees Some damage to all plants.
