1961 State Contest in Land and Range Judging ^ by Charles M. Smith, Soils Extension 



On August 2, 1961, there will be state contests in land and range judging in conjunc- 

 tion with the Great Falls Fair for U-H and FoF.Ao youth. It is the purpose of such 

 contests to provide organized competition in these fields of interest. Historically 

 this technique has proved quite profitable in calling certain subject matter areas 

 to the attention of the publico 



A key member of the group contributing to the success of these contests is the Soil 

 Conservation Service. They have provided invaluable assistance in the way of local 

 instruction and key men in the conduct of the contest.
