DISTRICT DOINGS 



Fl ^RCUS COirWTY SVJCD - Mrs. Ellen Rlckl pre- 

 sented some ideas on what the district 

 could do to assist in conservation educa- 

 tion-information for the schools. After 

 much discussion it was decided that the 

 Fergus County orientation meeting for 

 rural teachers will be held at the Agri- 

 cultural Building August 23, and the Dis- 

 trict will present the afternoon program 

 to the teachers. The District will also 

 furnish coffee and donuts for the teachers 

 for both afternoon and morning sessions. 



LITTLE BEAVER SWCD - The supervisors dis- 

 cussed the need for priority on conserva- 

 tion practices and feel that they should 

 contact the ACP office to learn if it 

 would be better to give various practices 

 priority instead of pay for the practices 

 in the order they are signed up. They 

 will discuss this with Everett Zinne, man- 

 ager of the ASCS Office, and others be- 

 fore any action is taken. 



GARFIELD COUIITY SWCD - Mrs. Alma Rowton is 

 to be notified that as soon as she has re- 

 ceived verification that she has been 

 accepted in a conservation course at an 

 approved college she will be eligible to 

 receive the District's $50.00 cash conser- 

 vation scholarship. 



Guptill and Mooney have completed a 

 conservation filn list for use by the grade 

 school teachers & 4-H leaders. The list 

 has been distributed. 

 CARBON SWCD - There is still interest 

 among the supervisors to take a tour of 

 the area south of the Pryors where the 

 controversial wild horses exist. Brunsvold 

 will be in contact with Sterle Dale and 

 will have him make arrangements with the 

 Bureau of Land Management for a tour some- 

 time during the week of July 15. 



A discussion was held on the Soil and Water 

 Conservation Tour scheduled for the Libby 

 area on June 13. Most of the supervisors 

 were unable to attend this tour and it was 

 decided to wait until more projects had been 

 completed in the Libby area. 



LEWIS & CLARK COUNTY SWCD - Myrlin Donaldson 

 asked if the SWCD would be in a position to 

 help out with beautif ication on projects 

 such as the Fair Grounds. The Board expressed 

 a desire to work on beautif ication and since 

 Mr. Donaldson is on the Fair Board, he will 

 see if there are any projects appropriate. 

 He will report back to the Board. 



Paul Kleffner volunteered to work with the 

 Chamber of Commerce Agricultural Committee 

 on an Urban Conservation Tour in June. 



ROOSEVELT COUNTY SWCDs - Jack Wicks reported 

 that final arrangements have been made for 

 an eighth grade conservation tour at Wolf 

 Point and Culbertson & Froid schools. Harry 

 Swank reported that Poplar was also inter- 

 ested in these tours and asked that arrange- 

 ments be made to hold a tour in the Poplar 4 



RICHLAND COUNTY SWCD - The vote on the recre- 



ation lake was discussed at length. Walt 

 Anderson answered questions on taxes, location, 

 and precinct votes on the lake. The super- 

 visors decided that another attempt should 

 be made as soon as possible to obtain the 

 lake. The general concensus of the Board 

 was to press for another vote on the recrea- 

 tion area in the fall election in November. 



LIBERTY COUNTY SWCD - The District decided 

 they would donate the use of the tree plant- 

 er to the Chester Community Recreation Park 

 as their contribution to the Park.

 geological survey in Billings have agreed 

 to make measurements of water losses in 

 some representative ditches around the 

 District. 



LINCOLN SWCD - Conservation tours for 8th 



grade students of the Eureka area schools 

 were held on May 1 and of Troy area schools 

 on May 2. These tours were conducted by 

 Louis Rollman, County Extension Agent, and 

 Bill Shelley, Work Unit Conservationist. 



StrtET GRASS COUNTY SWCD - Mabry distributed 

 literature on "Montana Soil Conservation 

 Districts Contribution to Water Development". 

 It was suggested that the same information 

 on a county basis be worked up for a news 

 item or for the annual meeting. A dis- 

 trict newsletter was discussed and the idea 

 tabled. It was suggested that a news item 

 be published in tlie local paper once a month. 



A beautiful woman is one you
