.11 I . WashingtonI Farm News . SOIL BUILDING RATES FOR I 1942 ANNOUNCED | The United States Department of! Agriculture haa announced soil-build ing allowance rates which will be! the basis for determining maximum ! ?payments which farmers may earn! by carrying out soil-building prac-1 tices under the 1942 AAA Farm Pro- J gram. The rates will be substantial- j ly the same as in 1941. Farmers may earn two types of! payments under the Farm Pro gram: (1) A payment for carrying out! approved soil-building practices add! (2) A payment for planting with-1 in special crop allotments, such as! those for corn, wheat, cotton, rice,! tobacco, peanuts, and potatoes. Rates for compliance with special 1 crop allotments and other provisions j will be announced later. As in for-1 mer years, conservation payments to j be made under the 1942 program are contingent on the annual appropria-j tion authorized by Congreps for this I purpose in the Agricultural Adjust-! ment Act of 1938. The soil-building rates are being! announced now in order that farm- J ers in those States where the 1942 program year began July 1 may plan now to carry out soil-building practices under the new program. The new program will provide al lotments on the same crops as in 1941 except that there will be no allotments for commercial vegetables, and, in lien of total-soil depleting al lotments, there may be substituted special crop allotments covering cer tain feed grains in surplus areas? oats, barley, rye, grain sorghums, and epra (outside the commercial corn area). These crops were form erly included in the total soil deplet ing allotment for the farm. The feed grain allotment is being provided to stabilize such, crops in 1942. Officials pointed out that the present supply of these feed grains, coupled" with the 1941 crops, is am ple to meet whatever feed demands will come as a result of expansion in the livestock industry. By planting in accordance with the demand for feed crops, farmers will be making more efficient use of their soil, will be able to release much needed storage for surplus crops, and be better able to produce other crops especially needed for the defense program. A soil-building allowance is estab lished for each farm on the basis of such factors as the farm's cropland, non-crop pastureland, commercial vegetables, and commercial orchards. The participating farmer may earn his farm's allowance by carrying .out approved soil-building practices. Un der the 1942 program, the farm's al lowance will be computed on the basis of the following rates: - v70 cents per acre of cropland not included in special crop allotments for the farm in areas where feed grain allotments are not established. 50 cents per acre of cropland not included in special crop allotments for the farm in areas where feed grain allotments are established. In- 1941 the 70-cent rate applies only to areas generally deficient in feed, while the 50-cent rate is avail able in surplus feed areas. Rates of non-crop pasture land, which will be the same as those used under the 1941 program. These rates vary by areas. $2.00 per acre of orchards, except for any orchard land included in I cropland, for which the rat^?3ne $1.30 per acre. In 1941, the rate far I orchards is $1.80 per acre. I $1.00 per acre of commercial vege ? _ tables normally grown on the farm. I The vegetable rate is $1.30 per acre I in 1941 bat is applicable to a smaller I acreage than in 1942. ? 60 cents per acre of restoration land. In 1941 the soil-building al I lowance on restoration land is 46 cents twr acre, bat the additional I Miami of 16 cents per acre made I on soeh land in 1941 will not be coa I tinned in 1942.

Our principal tobacco producing ! section is Eastern North Carolina * where most of the defense activity j in the state is concentrated. This ! will mean that certain highways will J be jammed these next few months ; with military vehicles, private cars ! of defense workers, and tobacco-haul- ! ing vehicles. For .this reason; it is j all the.more important this year.that < those who have tobacco to haul, -to \ market should take every precaution r to see that their hauling is done in SI the safest possible manner." = Hocutt pointed out that the open- a ing of the tobacco maricets usually 1 brings forth upon the highways a jj vast array of nondescript vehicles : which stay in the farm yard or under j ? moat uf thryear and which, a for the most part, lade a lot of being s in the safest mechanical condition. E "These vehicles can create Berioua : hazards on our highways," the ? safety director said, "and motorists J should recognize these hazards and ; compensate for them by increasing; jj their alertness and. caution when 3 driving on roads wheie tobacco-haul- 3 ers are operating." By way of suggestions to tobacco C growers, Hocutt stressed the import- | ance of proper loading, so as toTghte : even weight distribution, and of care- | ful inspection of tires, brakes and -5 trailer couplings. Inasmuch as much ? tobacco is hauled during hours of E darkness, he also urged the import- s ance of careful inspections of run- j ning lights and clearance lights be- s fore each trip to market. I&e also* s suggested that tobacco-haulers carry 5 flags and flares* for use in case of E break-downs necessitating emergency ? repairs on the highway. Still another thing about which 3 Hocutt waznpd is the practice of car-. E rying passengers on the rear of trucks' 3 or trailers. In past seasons, he said, ? he has observed that many drivers * on their way bade home after selling ~ their tobacco make a habit offloading the back of their trucks with neigh bors looking for a ride home. Sev eral persons have been killed in the state this summer as a result of fall ing off or being bounced off the rear end of trucks, he said, y "Getting your tobacco to market is important," he said, "but the really important thing is that the vehicle hauling your tobacco gets to market and back to the farm without en- j dangering the lives of your drivers) and helpers or other people on the j highway." j I Federal Land Banks I Are Now Holding Less Farm Property I ' ?
