COOKERS
IN COUNTY
Fourteen Are at Disposal of
Residents Who Desire to
Conserve Food Stuff
AVAILABLE NOW
Suggestions Given To Avoid
Spoilage of Beef In
Canning
Ten FERA pressure cookers
which were arranged for several
weeks ago by the Cimarron Colinty
commissioners have arrived accord-
ing to Miss Lois Grant emergency
home demonstration agent The
cookers will later become the pro-
perty of the state extension depart-
nient and will remain in the county
permanently
These cooker's with the four al-
ready in use here will be placed
in various communities of the
county and may be checked out for
one day to anyone who needs them
The only requirement made of the
borrower is that the cookers be car-
ed for properly and that they be
returned promptly and in good con-
dition Miss Grant said
The cookers will be placed at the
following places throughout the
county: Two at the J E Tolbert
home Wheeless two at the B E
Walker home northeast of Kenton
two at the home of Mrs Virgil
Ilayes Keyes two at Arnett's
drug store Felt two in the Griggs
community with the place to be
announced later and four at the
county agent's office in Boise City
Those desiring pickle recipes or
directions for making "jerk beef"
may secure them from the county
agent's office
The following suggestions by
Miss Grant will prevent the spoil-
age of beef
Pack the meat hot (either brown
the meat quickly in hot fat or heat
in a small amount of water until
it has turned white)' Process quart jars 65 minutes at
17 pounds pressure
Process pint jars GO minutes at
17 pounds pressure
It is much safer not to use half
gallon jars in canning meat hut if
half gallon jars are used they
should be processed at least 90
minutes at 17 pounds pressure
Although some persons have
done it uccessfully it is not re-
commended that beef be canned un-
til it is thoroughly cooled
Budget Plan Saves
Money for Farmers
The Prcduction Credit corpora-
tion of Wichita which supervises
work of 42 local associations
this territory in lending money to
farmers and stockmen vntler the
new government-supervised financ-
ing system cites an individual case
which illustrates how the new 7Jud-
get system allows a farm produc
tion loan to be drawn when and as
needed thus saving interest costs
The following letter is from a
farmer-borrower near 1a Junta
Colo:
"I have already made applica
tion for what money I will need for
cake and also enough to plant some
fall crop This money has been
O K and some of it is still wait-
ing for me to draw the papers for
it which I will do as soon as I need
it as there is no use paying inter-
est on it tintil I need it"—CED
In order to be sure of having the
money when needed and money at
the lowest cost possible a borrower
through a local production credit
association arranges to have it ad-
vanced to him in installments to
meet his expenses and his needs
just as they arise

orable crop opportunity that arises
Keeping in mind the goal of es-
tablishing and maintaining a vege-
tative protection on the land at all
times the following situation will
be examined as a typical case A
field of sandy soil hummocked ov-
er Russian thistles last year and
lay out of cultivation again thi3
year A new growth of thistle is
now on the ground except where
considerable spots of bare drift ex-
ist along one side of the field All
of the land is a deep sandy type
with hard subsoil too deep to be
reached with available tillage im-
plements Here are two initial problems of
reconditioning the land which can
be attacked only when a favorable
moisture supply has been obtained
The bare drift soil must have a
cover crop sowed on it at the first
opportunity This may be next
fall spring or summer If a
growth of rye can be made this
fall the whole field can be prepar-
ed for row crop planting next year
depending on spring rains The
rye will supply organic matter to

ARTIFICIAL POND CUTS
PROBLEMS OF DROUTH
Dave Loewen Family Creates
Beauty Spot In Driest
Part of County
An outstanding example of what
may be accomplished by initiative
and industry under the most trying
circumstances is given in the ex-
perience of the Dave Loewen fam-
ily of near Felt
Of course building a pond for
the irrigation of four acres has not
entirely offset the complete failure
of two successive crops and the un-
precedented low price of a third
but the Loewen family has over-
come the one great problem that
has battled many Cimarron county
farmers that of obtaining a
hood from the wind-swept stretches
of Cimarron county farms
Mr Loewen who with his wife
and seven children came to Cim-
arron county from near Wichita
Kan four years ago to settle a
parcel of land 20 miles southwest
of Boise City had come to know
enough about the fertiFty of the
soil in this region to realize that it
would produce if water were ap-
plied Even though the Loewen
farm is situated within one of the
driest spots of Cimarron county
A well near the family garden
and orchard supplied an abundance
of water so the family set out to
1 provide storage facilities for plac-
ing the garden and orchard under
irrigation AJ1 earthen tank 40x60
feet in size with a depth of six feet
was constructed at a cost of man
and horse power alone The sup-
porting walls of the tank are built
of the sandy soil with 'an inner fac-
ing of 12-inch boards around the
upper edge to prevent wahing
when the wind gets strong Even
the boards cost nothing but the
hauling as they were salvaged from
the sands of the Beaver river where
they had been washed from some
forgotten structure
Aside from the labor involved the
irrigation plant has cost the sum
of 93 cents which represents the re-
placement of a worn-out pin in the
windmill gear
Owing to the sandy texture of
the soil it would be presumed that
the loss of water by seepage would
make the project impractical but
Leowen states that only during the
first year was there any seepage
and that very slight This year 1
the sand banks that form the sides
of the pond have been protected by 1
a dry crust two inches thick on the
outer edge and the only loss was
occasioned by evaporation which
with the demands for irrigation has
failed to tax the capacity of the
one well
The Loewen orchard of some two
acres in area is planted principally
to peaches of different varieties
cherries and plums all of which

Unemplo)ment Factors Will

Federal Recognition
At a call meeting held at the
court house here yesterday the
Five States Water Conservation
association was formed with rep-
esentation from Texas New Mex-
ico Celerado Kansas and Oklaho-
ma present The object of the
oreanization is the furtherance of
water conservation projects in the
area represented with the Kenton
darn given first place
After a discussion of the projeets
under consideration a permanent
'committee was formed with the
following personnel: W E Baker
Boise City president R J French
Boise City secretary - treasurer
A M James Ed Bishop Dallam
county Texas L R Johns Ileman
Davis Baca county Colo Mrs
O W McCuiaton D A Paddock
Union county N M Lee Larabee
E II Fisher Kansas W S Martin
and IL J French Cimarron county
members
During the open meeting O S
Rayner of the National Social
Service survey spoke on rural prob-
lems C H Rightmire district
FERA engineer spoke on the
feasibility of the reservoir and
Grester LaMar Stanley Thomas
Kenneth Welch C R Johns D A
Paddock Gurney Thompson He-
man Davis J Compton E H
Fisher O L Hayden and Mrs
Elizabeth Love spoke on different
phases of the rehabilitation pro-
gram and relief problems
Julius Cox spoke on the prob-
abilities of the Kenton dam receiv-
ing the support of the administra-
tion and cited an interview with
Congressman E W Marland in
which Alarland said "In an inter-
view with Morris L Cooke chair-
man of the Mississippi valley com-
mittee of the national resources
board Mr Cooke was enthusiastic
over the program embracing the
Arkensas White Red and Washi-
ta rivers and agreed that projects
on these streams should have first
consideration when the committee
hes its report"
Mr Marland has had the assur-
ance of the president that this dis-
trict is entitled to and will receive
first consideration among all such
projects due to the fact that they
will embrace three of the most im-
portant factors necessary to public
works projects in the future These
are conservation rehabilitation and
relief
Mrs Love spoke briefly but
strongly in favor of the darn giv-
ing as her primary reason the fact
that such a project would furnish
more steady employment better
pay and coming as it would under
direct federal supervision would
undoubtedly raise the morale of
the workers which has auffered bad-
ly under the relief system now in
effect
The contemplated dam on the
Cimarron was first surveyed by
Bell and White in 1913 and their
figures showed that a darn 110 feet
high would create a lake with a
shore line of 56 miles and would
provide storage of 180000 acre-feet
of water
The same firm surveyed an irri-
gation ditch line as far east as the
Boise City district but the work
was never consummated owing to
a lack of funds
In 1924 the Oklahoma Irrigation
Drainage and Reclamation commis-
sion under E E Blake chairman
had a detailed survey made of the
same site Again in 1929 a reur-
vey was made by order of the war
department and the engineers in
charge of these different parties all
made the same recommendations
regarding location for the dam
which is Township Five Range
Three East of the Cimarron Mer-
idian in Cimarron county The
plans of the Oklahoma commission
survey gave the drainage area as
1900 square miles the surface area
of the proposed reservoir as 6900
acres with a storage capacity of
154500 acre-feet
The dam considered was to have
a height of 90 feet and the estimat-
ed cost was $927700

sion figure that a throe-inch runoff
