Work Plan Tells Total Watershed Program Story

It anaweri all the quwtton* cd wb«' will do It—where, when, how and why Every watershed has it* own combination of problem* And *ol‘>non* must hr tattor-tnadr tn fit the the problem* of each. In many ways, watershed planning Is » lm '- lar to anti and water conservation planning foe farms. Th« - difference is that the problems arc of communitiea—not Individuals atone—more complex and mote expensive to aolvc. A sound work plan provides for the conservation, use. and development of all land and water in the drainage area. It combines the goals, abilities, and desires of the local people. It la their plan, and once it is developed, the plan guides both the local organization and all state and federal agencies through the construction and maintenance phases. Specifically. the plan gives information— 1. The problems in the watershed 1. Community needs and desires 3 Planned conservation measures on the land and structure* to be installed. 4. Estimated costs and benefits of the project 5. Proposed expenditures of local. state, and federal funds 6 Cost-sharing arrangements 7. Provisions for maintaining the planned conservation practices and structures t. The time-table for completing the project. Any work plan will include a variety of projects to meet local needs. For flood prevention there may be certain types of measures to prevent the “Destruction of Land." If it is economical to do so. large gullies and severely eroding land may be treated with vegetation or structures. Road banks and fills may be protected. Waterways crossing two or more farms may be improved. Another type of measure “con-

Structure* tor flood prevention! will ordinarily be located at the least curtly aite to protect thel largest possible area of land subject to flooding. They will encroach as little as possible on I highly productive land and provide ’ enough protection to overflow land, so that owner* can make continuous use of it. even though it will continue to be damaged occasionally by major storms. Greater protection from major storms will be considered when human life and extra high valued property are at stake. Under agricultural water management. plans could include drainage, irrigation, and other method* of providing a more uniform supply and distribution of water for farm or farm-related uses. However, under the department of agricultures' present policy, “drainage or irrigation of land not previously or presently used for agricultural production must be incidental to and not a primary purpose of the tile, open ditches, pumping plants, water supply reservoirs, etc., tor which help is given. To improve wildlife habitat, storage might be increased in a planned flood detention structure or an additional impounding structure might be built; stream channels and banks could be improved: or other work could be done to provide breeding and nesting areas for migratory waterfowl and water-loving animals.

City water supply comes In the category of non-agricultural water management. The work plan could include improvements for city or industrial water supply, recreation, power, pollution abatement by streamflow regulation, and other similar purposes. It is impossible to go very deeply into the provisions of a work plan without getting the reader hopelessly bogged down in technical details. However, plans completed will be on file at the local office of the Soil Conservation Service and will be open to inspection by interested persons. During all the planning stages, soil conservation service technicians will work closely with the local organization and all others concerned. Leaders will be called upon frequently to make decisions based on facts gathered in the watershed. (Next Week: There’s Lots of Help Available). Four Cars Involved In Accident Friday A four-car accident at the 300 block on North Second street resulted in the arrest of one of.-tbe drivers. Total damages in the mishap amounted to $925, according to city police estimates. Marvin D. Deßolt, 25. of 340 S. Fifth street, Decatur, is t slated to appear in justice of the peace court tonight to answer the charge of driving with an expired license. A car driven by Richard J. Macklin, 20, of 1420 High street, pulled from the curb on Second street, and the Deßolt car ran into the rear of it. The skidding Deßolt car then scraped into two parked cars owned by Bernard Hain, of route 2, Decatur, and Hubert Omlor, of 216 S. 4th street. Damages to the care were: Omlor, $100; Hain, $300; Macklin, $125. and Deßolt, S7OO. The accP dent occurred at 7:25 p. m.

This is in preparation tor the field demonstration on minimum tillage to be held May 17 at the BerneFrench school farm. Various forms of minimum tillage will be demonstrated at that time. SpitUebug* Spittlebugs will soon be hatching into the tiny orang e-colored nymphs. Growers should examine alfalfa and clover fields for presence of spittlebugs as soon as plant growth begins Wherever spittlebug counts average one or more per stem, spraying for control is justified. Apply insecticides within one week after the first tiny nymphs are observed or as soon thereafter as possible. Early applications are essential for best control and avoidance of residues. Three materials have been recommended for use in Indiana. The insecticides, rates of application and harvest restrictions (number of days between appliCom In Storage Due For Check Purdue University agricultural engineers point out the curcill season for corn in cribs is near. In some areas of Indiana corn did not dry well in the field last fall and may have been stored at a dangerous moisture level. Farmers should check frequently to see that their corn is not spoiling. If farmers have com with more than 17 per cent moisture in the crib now, they should seriously consider methods of removing the danger of corn spoilage during the coming warm weather. The engineers suggest the following questions should be consider- * Can all the doubtful corn be fed before it spoils? Can the corn be moved to a smaller crib or cribs for better ventilation? ..... Can corn be shelled and dried in a heated air dryer? Can existing cribs be converted to use unheated drying systems? Is some form of airtight storage for high moisture grain available? In some situations where the corn is not too much above the danger point in moisture, the corn may be re-elevated and mixed and put in a narrow crib. Modly. soggv ears may be sorted out along with’the shelled corn, husks and other debris which will allow more ventilation. Even after the corn has been mixed and moved, further moisture checks should be made. If the moisture content is not below 15% per cent by May 1, additional measures should be considered. ... High moisture ear corn can still be dried in cribs with unheated air if they can be modified to make this type of drying economical. High moisture corn can also be shelled and dried in batch dryers.

Nail Growth NEW YORK (UPI) — Speed of nail growth varies among individuals, but in a given person generally growth is relatively constant throughout life. Growth is increased, however, in nail biters and during pregnancy: it is decreased by acute infections, chronic disease and malnutrition, reports Dr. Maarten S. Sibinga, of New York University. Sweater Buying Hints LINCOLN, Neb. (UPI) — When buying a sweater, check for straight seams in front, back and sleeves, advise clothing specialists at the University of Nebraska. The seams should be stitched securely and covered to keep cut edges of fabric from raveling. Seam ends should be fastened securely. Tape at neckline and shoulders helps sweaters retain their shape. Remodel Flower Boxes DOVER, O. (UPI) — It’s easy to transform old flower boxes into attractive accessories with plasticsurfaced hardboard paneling. Apply the panels to window box and sill with a wallboard adhesive. Available at lumber yards, the hardboard can be damp-wiped clean and comes in colors, wood grains and ma rb 1 e patterns (Marsh Wall Products, lac., Dover, O.). —. — The Christian custom of reckoning time from the birth of Christ was introduced in the sixth century by a monk named Dionysius Exiguus. More than half of ay Americans alive today—s7 per cent—have no personal recollection of the depression of the 1930'5.

CLEANING TIPS; Thu year instead at washing wood floor* with soap and water, try a commercial cleaner. Most at these loosen and remove ground-in dirt and black marks easier, as well a* remove the danger of getting the floor to wet and raising the grain. Most of these are 'a combined cleaner and wax: therefore you save yourself a waxing job If you run across a real stubborn stain, it can be removed by using veryfine steel wool.' First dip the steel wool in the cleaning solution and rub with the grain. Cleaning carpets’ It's easier if you use a rug shampooer. At least this is easier than beating up the soap suds and then scrubbing with a brush on hands and knees. Rug shampooers can be purchased for a low cost or they can sometimes be borrowed from your carpet dealer. Remember to use over-lapping even strokes and be sure not to get the backing wet. Allow the rug to dry thoroughly before replacing furniture back. If you leave any liirge pieces in the room, be sure to use pieces of wax paper under the casters or rollers as they might rust. Before doing any shampooing. vacuum thoroughly, twice as good as usual. If the parted piloe on your carpet shows that the soil level is half way up the tufts, then you should have ypur carpet cleaned professionally. Most professional cleaning costs around 9-10 c a square foot and it lengthens the life of the carpet. Investigate a cleaner before turning rugs over to him; however most of them are good or they wouldn’t stay in business very long. Remember a clean carpet gives longer wear. Dirt and grit grinds right into the carpet, cutting the fibers. RHUBARB: Fresh rhubarb is beginning to appear at the grocery and it won’t be long before we will eat it fresh from the garden. It offers a "Spring perk up” to meals and can be used in so many different ways. When buying, select firm, crisp, fairly thick stalks. A pound of fresh rhubarb will yield 5 servings. If you are serving a spring banquet here is a recipe for Rhubarb Crumble which you might find useful. Rhubarb Crumble Yield: 2 pans, 14 x 9 x 2 inches.
