For more Program To Aid Conservation., fiO M(|Ri HIM' The U.S. Department of Agriculture payment-in-kind program will idle an estimated 30 million acres during the 1983 growing season. That land, normally used to grow corn, wheat, rice ~grain sorghum or highland cotton, must be devoted to conservation uses during the course of the program. Because of their nitrogen fixing ability, one of the most popular and productive crop alternatives will be legumes. Property inoculated, alfalfa, sweet clover, clover or vetch, for example, could add up to 140 lbs. of nitrogen to the soil during a single growing season. According to North American Plant Breeders (NAPB) agronomists, that is the same amount of nitrogen that would be gained from the application of 170 lbs. of anhydrous ammonia per acre, and at about Vh of the cost. The nitrogen-fixing capability of legumes, however, is not automatic. The soil must contain the ap propriate bacteria type for the specific legume crop in order for nitrogen production to occur. These Rhizobia bacteria from nodules on the root system of the plant where the sought-after nitrogen fix ation process occurs, To en sure an adequate population of the proper Rhizobial strain legume seed should be in oculated prior to planting. This is especially true when the particular legume crop has not recently been grown on the land now chosen for the crop. 10 Thomas J. Wacek, Ph D., NAPB Director of Inoculant Research puts it this way, “Remember that a legume without nodules is virtually the same as no legume at all; which is another way of say ing that the inoculant is as im portant as the legume.” For.’Oiany PDt program participants, legumes will becomes productive and pro fitable crop alternative for 1963. In addition to their recogniad value as a forage and as" a nitrogen souree legumes can help prevent weed growth, control erosion, improve the soil tilth and enrich the soil with organic matter. information about the expo, contact Anne Taylor, Depart ment of Natural Resources and Community Develop ment, (919) 733-4964.

Fishermen May Be Exempted Continued From Page 4-B the crew member’s remuneration was only a share of the catch. At that time, owners of vessels under ten-net tons were exempted from paying FUTA taxes on their crew. Thus, different rules governed FUTA and FICA exemptions available to self-employed fishermen. When Congress passed the Economic Recovery Act of 1981, crew members who were considered self employed for purposes of FICA were also exempted from paying FUTA taxes throughout 1961. Hie incon sistency is that FICA and Federal withholding taxes are permanently exempted while the FUTA exemption must be renewed annually. Thus vessel owners must treat crew members as self employed for FICA and Federal withholding taxes and as employees for Federal Unemployment Tax. H.R. 1895 would make per manent the FUTA exemption of owners of fishing vessels if their boats are manned by less than ten, and if the crew's remuneration is a share of the catch, regardless of vessel size. The hill was co-sponsored by Rep. Edwin Forsythe (R- N.J.) Ranking Minority Member of the Committee. «\ WE DON'T MAKE Kfflnii the claim of "LOWEST FOOD prices” BUT WE BEAT THE ONES THAT DO!
