Farmers Have Better Chance In ASC Program Tar Heel farmer* have an op portunity in 1981 for making bet ter use uf their Agricultural Con servation Program than ever be fore, say* Vaughn Tugman, Chair man of the ASC County Commit tee. I With a continued need to ahift production of tome acreage of aoil depleting crop*, farmers have un equaled opportunity to uae the Agricultural Conservation Program in the seeding of grasses and le gumes. In doing this, cooperating farmers will not only be helping to bring production in balance but they will be building reserves in the soil to meet future needs. The seeding of grasses and le gumes is only a part of the job of most effective conservation. The 1961 Agricultural Conservation Program also contains practices providing for the application of liming materials on farmland, for est tree planting, forest tree im provement, open ditch and tile drainage and several others. To help farmers use the pro gram to the best advantage, elect ed farmer-committee are available in every farming community. Tug man urges all farmers to use these men in analyzing the conservation needs on their farm. "Conserva tion can be the salvation of farm ers in their time of need," he said. "They should all go by their local ASC office, discuss their conserva tion needs with the personnel there and, if their needs can be met through the program, they should sign the necessary papers on that visit." The 1961 signup period is now in progress. Many farmers have al ready filed requests for ACP cost sharing. The signup period closes January 27, 1961. West is warned on danger of losing Africa.
