low Farm Prices
Slow Program
?Of Conservation
What happens to soil and water
-?conservation when farm prices go
?4own?
In answering that question, Way
;*ie L. Ware, chairman of the Cleve
land County Agricultural Conserve- j
eion Committee, said that the ten
dency is for each farmer to reduce
?The amount of money spent on con
awervation. As prices go down and
jtfhe relationship between what the
ifarmer sells and what he buys gets
?out of balance, an increasing part of
?he shrinking income must go for
lr'ixod costs such as taxes, labor, seed
lteed and other "rur ting" expenses.
He points, out that although the
-Agricultural Conservation Program
provides assistance to farmers iti
carrying out conservation practices,
ithis assistance is on a share'- the
?cost basis; the farmer has to put up
Jftis share of the cost. This assistan
ce amounts to from 3t> to 50 percent
;and when income is reduced farmers
*are^ unable to put up their share.
-As prices of farm products come
?riown, the shrinkage in expenditur
es for conservation comes more and
more evident, the chairman states.
On the other hand the need fori
conservation Is greater, As the mar
ftet demand for cash crops such as
wheat, cotton, corn- and other feed
grains slackens? as the bins, cribs
.and warehouses fill up ? there Is
Increasing need to put th<? land ta
*en out of these crops into conserv
ing grasses and clovers. Lime, phos
phate, and tillage practices are es
pecially needed <t hen to assure vig
orous growth of soil-protecting
-tcrops. 6
Mr. Ware urges farmers of Cleve
land County to keep up their ef
forts to protect their soil. Every
??ffort should be made to keep up the
xarmland of Cleveland County. The
Agricultural Conservation Program
provides th* means of sharing the
?oost and the responsibility, the chair
*nan said, and farmer committee
mien are ready to give, farmers ev
*ry possible assistance.
Already 928 farmers of Cleveland
?county have indicated that they will
Jiarticipate in the 1949 Agricultural
conservation Program, according to
JWr. Ware, chairman of the county
Agricultural Conservation Commit
tee.
He said that an increase In par
ticipation can be expected this year
over last because th ?rt has been an
Increase in authorized fupds and
file limit of assistance to any one
has been lncf?ased from $.500
*o $750 Then, too, progress has been
made in building up basic under
standing about the program among
farmers ? how it operates and why
*l is necesacy for the farmer and for
a he country.
I rior approval has already been
jjiven for 928 farmers for practices
*n the 1949 program and acid and
potash in mixed fertilizer lea-.is the
v/a soil and water conservation prac
?lees approved for Cleveland county
farmers. Mr. Ware urged farmers
who have not yet obtained approval
for any 1949 practice to consider the
conservation needs of their farms on
the basis of the most serious con
nervation problems, check these a
gainst the approved practices, for
the county and to concentrate on
most needed practices. Those most
urgently needed should be given
forStl^Q3'i?ena,i0n in maki"g plans
for 1949. Following is the complete
list of practices from which farmers
