E. Morrison, SCD Supervisor By: Fred Brackin SCS Conservationist LAST WEEK .... Bill Camp¬ bell of Hooker Community com¬ pleted a small livestock water pond that serves well as ex¬ ample. Certainly one more farm pond is no great news in a county which already has so many ponds, but Mr. Campbell’s is a good example of good land and water use. He has most of his open land in pasture-and this fall will plant the rest-and several head of nice cattle. But Jright down the middle of his ‘fine pasture was an old ditch which was producing almost nothing. Putting a small pond in the old ditch took very little lof his pastureland, will provide ample water for his growing herd, and will hold a certain amount of water after every rain that would otherwise run away. As I said, this is a pretty good example of what the Soil Conservation Service and the’ Soil Conservation Districts are trying to do: to make every acre| produce what it is suited for in such a way that it is not destroy ed, whether it be crops, grass, trees, or as in this case, water. LIVESTOCK WATER PONDS . . . were also completed by A. J. Carrell up at Magby Gap and Frank Sells, Wildwood, last week. These jobs about complete the backlog of AGP work that 1 inherited so I hope to have mor e time to spend on contact work. I understand there be more funds available this fall in case you want to do any of this type work.

Celebrity Stops On Overnight Visit Here Sal Maglie, said to be one of the most outstanding curve ball pitchers in modern base¬ ball, caused quite a stir among sports fans here in town last Wednesday when he stopped at the El Rancho Courts. By the time it was known that the great “bar¬ ber” was within autograph distance, it was too late to go calling. Maglie registered in from the St. Louis Cardinals Ball Club and it is believed that he is currently scouting for that organization. He was accom- panied by an unidentified young man and left early Thursday morning on what • was believed to be a return trip to St. Louis. here. Farm ponds, like planes, guns, and about thing else that provides a of pleasure, can also become thing of sorrow and Very few of the ponds we are safe for swimming. In cases the banks are made to keep water weeds under and the bottoms are of clay, both of which easily lead to a tagedy that pond owner would want prevent.
