COUNTY PLANNING GROUP SELECTS 1939-40 PROGRAM Hinrichs, Denzler, Coats Sub-Committee Tho Study Weed Problem Weed control was selected by the Iowa County Agricultural Planning Committee as the specific planning problem to occupy major attention during 1930-40, A.

Everitt Hush, chairman of the committee, announced this week following the first county planning meeting. 'A. sub-committee composed of L. H. Hinrichs, Roy A.

Denzler and W. E. Coats has been appointed to make preliminary study of this problem and report at the next meeting of the county committee. The first step toward a sound solution of the agricultural problem of Iowa county consists of analyzing the specific features of the problems in the county. Some of these may be the same as those in other parts of the state or region, while some may be purely local.

Once these features are clear, the most effective method of attacking various parts of the "whole' agricultural problem" can then be developed. This analysis will form the' basis for determining the most desirable contribution which can be made by national agencies now active in the county or available. It. is hoped that this procedure may result in a program" of all public agricultural actiVities of the level or government agency: responsible for their administration, thus eliminating, needless duplication and wasteful conflicting programs. Thus the work of the County Agricultural Planning Committee sponsored by the Farm Bureau will be of particular interest to and tion the Farm Security administrators whose local on the committee.

The work and recommendations are also likely to be of interest in agricultural welfare. Recommendations of county committees which can not be put into effect through local agencies will form the basis for the work of the state committee on agricultural programs. This. state committee will develop, to state agencies and the U. S.

on problems of broader significance. Members of the county planning committee serve voluntarily. In ad-' dition to those mentioned above, the other members of the committee clude G. D. Williams, C.
