PRESIDENT SEZ, Continued from Page 1 



technicians and cooperators sit down to work up a 

 farm plan. Recreation certainly should be dis- 

 cussed as a possible part of a long term plan. 



Wildlife seems to be another fact of life we 

 have to, live with. Our farmers and ranchers 

 have been given the job of supplying at least 

 part of the forage for the wild animals that roam 

 among us. I think we shouldn't complain, but 

 let's take a good hard look at this and see what 

 can be gained. Perhaps again inventories and 

 reports should be worked on so as to see just 

 where we stand. 



Some areas of the Country are using hunting 

 as a major source of income on their farms. We 

 certainly should not pass up any bets these days. 



STUDENT WORK-STUDY PROGRAM 



If you have not as yet signed up for the 

 Student Work-Study Program for this summer, 

 it still is not too late. Write to Mrs. Ma^ 

 Helen Cheney, Co-ordinator, Student Work-Study 

 Program, Department of Labor, Mitchell Build- 

 ing, Helena, Montana 59601. 



The worlt-study program is an opportunity for 

 districts to provide employment for deserving 

 students enrolled in college and who are look* 

 ing for work to earn part of their way. A1b<% 

 the work will acquaint the students with con- 

 servation and no doubt some will major In this 

 field. With the, big work load most dlatrlcti 

 have, it is hoped students will be available. 



A very important responsibility of every Super- 

 visor is the Natural Beauty that we have been 

 blessed with. It is our job to protect It with 

 every tool we have at hand. 



First we can do a fine job on our own farms 

 and ranches, but it doesn't stop there. It Is 

 the duty of all Supervisors to help with the 

 planning of Forest Reserves, Wilderness Areas, 

 and State Parks. The custodians of these areas 

 can use our help at all times. They are con- 

 stantly being pressured by all kinds of people 

 to do things that certainly doesn't help our 

 "Conservation Movement". We must pitch in 

 and help whenever possible to keep and preserve 

 this God-given legacy of ours. 



In conclusion, if any of you have any par- 

 ticular problems or suggestions for our new 

 Committee, write to Les or myself so we can 

 get off to a real good start.
