Announced By Gov.
Soil-IJuil'JrK Payment Is In Ad
dition To Soil-Conserving
Payments
Syit-buikiinjr practices for which
North Carolina farmers will be paid
under the l'JM soil-improvement pro
pram have been announced by Dean
I. (). Sehaub, of State College.
The soil-building payments in ad
dition to the soil-conservating acre
age into soil-conserving crops.
The various practices, with their
rates of payment, are as follows:
For seeding any of the following
crops between January 1 and October
31, 193G, with or without a nurse
crop, either alone or in connection
with perennial grasses, provided that
such seeding is at a normal rate per
acre for the locality, payments per
acre will be:
(1) Alfalfa, serecia, or kudzu, $2.
(2) Red or mammoth clover, $1.50.
(3) Aleike sweet, white, bur, or
crimson clover; Austrian winter peas,
vetch, annual lespedisa or crotal-
aria, $1. . ,
(4)Legume mixtures containing
by weight more than 50 per cent of
the legumes in (1) or (2), $1.50. (5)
Legume mixtures containing by
weight more than 50 per cent of the
legumes in (d), $1.
For plowing or disking under as
gTeen manure any of the following
crops, between the dates specified, and
provided that the crops will have at
tained at least two months' growth,
payments per acre will be:
Soybeans, velvet beans, cowpeas,
sweet clover, lespedeza, or crotalaria
plowed or disked under between July
1 and October 31, 193G, $1.50. Crim
son clover, Austrian winter peas, or
vetch plowed or disked undetr be
tween March 1 and June 1, 1936, $1.50.
Rye, barley, wheat, Italian rye grass,
winter oats, or mixtures of these,
turned under between March 1 and
June 1, $1. Sudan grass, millet, or
sorghum turned under between July
1 and October 31, $1.
However, a grower will not be en
titled to two payments, one for seed
ing the crops listed above and an
other for plowing them under, the
dean pointed out. If he plows them
under, the plow-under payment will
be the one he receives.
For planting forest trees on crop
land or non-crop pasture land be
tween Junaury 1 and October 31, 1936,
the rate of payment is $5 per acre.
For applying between January 1
and October 31, 1936, ground lime
stone or its equivalent on land used
this year or any soil conserving
crop; or land on which any of the
foil-building practices listed above,

armers are finding that the triple
superphosphate manufactured by the
TVA gives better results when mixed
with ground dolomitic limestone.
The limestone dilutes the highly
concentrated superphosphate and thus
makes possible a more even distribu
tion over the fields, said L. G. Willis,
soil chemist of the N. C. Agricultural
Experiment Station.
It also increases the efficiency of
the phosphate, neutralizes soil acid
ity, and supplies the calcium and
magnesium needed by many North
Carolina soils, he added.
Generally speaking, he said, the
mixture should contain three parts of
ground dolomitic limestone to one
part of triple superphosphate, but
the proportions may be varied to suit
except planting forest trees, are car- j
ried out; or land on which small grain
is seeded between September 1 and
October 31, 1936, in preparation few
carrying out after October 31 one of
the soil-building practices listed
above, rates of payment are as fol-
lows: !
Application of not less than 1,000
pounds to the acre, $1; of not less
than 2,000 pounds to the acre, $2; of
not less than 3,000 pounds, $3; and of
not less tnan a,uuu pounus,
One hundred pounds of ground oys

or 50 pounds of burned lime will be
considered the equivalent of 100
pounus ot ground nmesione.

Slightly higher payments will be
made when 50 per cent muriate of
potash is added to the superphos
phate. For erosion control work done be
tween January 1 and October 31, 1936,
on crop land which county committees
find in need of terracing or sub-soiling,
payments will be: .
Terracing with a sufficient amount
of properly constructed terraces to
give adequate protection against ero
sion, 40 cent per 100 feet of such
terraces, but not to exceed $2 an
acre.
Sub-soiling, to a depth of at least
18 inches with furrows sufficiently
close together to completely break
the sub-soil $2 an acres.

the total amount of the soil-building
payment on any farm cannot exceed

number of acres in soil-conserving
crops, except that no farm will be
limited to less tnan n.

It has come to our attention that
a good many hogs are dying in the
county of cholera and In every case
the source of the trouble traces back
to imported hogs or. pigs. We sug
gest that every one who owns hogs
arrange for them to be vaccinated as
early as possible. Some of our drug
stores keep the medicine on hand and
our veterinatrians do likewise. This
is a disease that can be eliminated
by proper sanitary methods and vaccination.

Farm Questions
and Answers
Question: Is there a limit to the
soil-building payments on any farm?
Answer: Yes. This payment can
not exceed an amount arrived at by
$1.00 the total acres of soil con
serving and soil-building crops on the
farm in 1930. However, where there
are less than 10 acres as the mini
mum requirement on the farm the
payment may be as much as $10.00.
ThiB minimum is 15 per cent of the
general soil-depleting base, and 20
per cent of the cotton, tobacco, and
peanut base as established.

If a wet grade of limestone is used,
a few lumps will be formed in the
mixture, but they can bo. broken easily
by shoveling over the pile, of lime
stone and superphosphate occasion
ally, Willis pointed out.
When the two elements are mixed,
he continued, the chemical reaction
will take up the water in the lime,
leaving a dry product in excellent
mechanical condition from which the
limestone and phosphate will not sep
arate. '
The mixture may be made with dry
limestone, Willis observed, but bet
ter results will be secured if it is
dampened with water.
Athough the limetsone and phos
phate do not separate while waiting
to be spread on the fields, he went on,
there is no reason to believe that the
limestone causes any reaction which
would make the phosphate less avail
able to plants.
