50th Year
in 1985
CHAMBERSBURG - The
U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation
Service will be celebrating its
50th Anniversary during 1985,
states John R. Akers, district
conservationist with the
Chambersburg office.
Conservation planning with
fanners and assisting farmers
in applying conservation
practices have been the main
emphasis of the Soil Con
servation Service during these
50 years. These activities
began in Fannett and Metal
Townships in 1943 and in the
balance of the county in 1956.
There was earlier con
servation work done in
selected parts of the county
under the Civilian Con
servation Corps (CCC).
At present, about 1050 1
farmers and other landowners
have requested conservation
planning assistance on about
220,000 acres of land or about
45% of the county area. Of
those who have requested
planning assistance, about 850
landowners have developed
conservation plans for all or
part of the land they own or
operate in cooperation with
the Soil Conservation Service.
The total land that has a
conservation plan developed
for it is about 171,000 acres or
35% of the county.
There is no charge to have a
professional soil con
servationist go over your land
to see what conservation
practices may be needed. Any
farmer or rural landowner
who desires conservation
planning assistance may
contact the Soil Conservation
Service office at 550 Cleveland
Ave., Chambersburg, PA or
call 264-7013.
National Dairy Board sponsors teleconference on dairy calcium
of such holdings upon the family
farms and rural communities of

Failure to file an accurate report
within ninety (90) days of tran
saction can result in a stiff penalty
for the foreign investor.
The reporting form (ASCS-153)
may be obtained at the county
ASCS office, 550 Cleveland Avenue,
Chambersburg, Pa. The completed
form must be returned to the ASCS
