Hornco broiler program. During 1961 I
started 85,000 broilers and sold 84,992
That’s selling 8 less than I started. At an

floodwatei can be held in the

small and medium-size earthen
dams built with fedeial funds.
The piogiam is the respon

The fedeial goyeminent is
yyell ayyaie that poor land man
agement practices allow silt
to polute our streams and fill
water reservoirs Thus in
order to insure the life of these
dams and their investment in
them, the federal government
requires that the land above
the dams receive conservation
tieatment through the regular
land treatment program of the
local soil conservation district.

After it was built additional
