An important improvement in the I
Agricultural Conservation program,
effective in 1941, has been announced
by G. T. Scott, Johnston county
farmer and chairman of the State
AAA Committee. It provides for
more emphasis on the conservation
phases of the program, makes the
AAA program more adaptable to all
farms in the state, encourages the
production of food and feed crops,
and should greatly reduce the cost
of compliance.
“General soil-depleting allotments
will be discontinued with the 1941
program and payments will be based
upon the amount of soil-building
accomplished,” Scott stated. “The
farmer who earns all soil-building
units will earn his maximum pay
ments for planting within special
allotments, such as tobacco, cotton,
peanuts, and commercial wheat, po
tatoes, and vegetables in designated
counties.”
As an example of how the new
plan works, Scott said: “Suppose
Farmer Jones had set up for his
farm a total farm payment of $100,
made up of $50 for planting within
special crop allotments and $50 to
be earned for carrying out prac
tices, such as seeding legumes and
grasses, winter cover crops and green
manure crops, terracing, contour
strip-cropping, forestry practices,
home gardening, application of lim
ing materials, and the like.
“If Farmer Jones only carries out
enough soil-building practices to earn
$40 of his soil-building allowance,
then he would only get $40 of his
special allotment payments, giving
Farmer Jones a final total payment
of $80 instead of $100. That’s be
cause he earned only 80 per cent of
his soil-building goal. Of course, if
he carried out enough practices to
earn his entire $50 in soil-building
allowance, he would receive his full
$50 for planting within special crop
allotments.”

Tie annual Harvest Day Sale will
be held at White Oak Baptist church

The sale of farm produce will begin

surrender and 23 by refusal to renew licenses.
You can help by restricting your patronage to
those places which obey the law.
