Schaub Gives Details
Of New Farm Program
Soil conservation grants of lo or
i 20 million hollars probably wiU be
j paid North Carolina farmers this
I year under the now farm program.
j me exact amount, said Dean I. O.
Schauh, of State College, will depend
: largely upon the number of farmers
entering the program and the amount
i of land on which grants are to be
! paid.
j Although no contracts will be signl
ed, as under the old AAA, farmers
j will be paid for devoting part of
their land to soil-building or soil-con
serving crops, he explained.
The three major objectives of the
j soil conservation and domestic alloti
ment act are:
Conservation of the soil through
wise use of the land. This will also
check tin- overproduction of soil-depleting
cash c, ops.
Re-establishment and maintenance
ol' farm income at a "fair level."
Protection of consumers by assuring
adequate supplies of food, feed,
and other farm commodities now and
j in the future.
With these objectives, said the
I dean, the new program will have a
I broader significance than tile old
AAA, although it may not limit cash
j crops as effectively as was done be|
fore.
Farmers who qualify for payments
this year will be required to have an
acreage of soil-conserving crops, or
land devoted to some other conscrvai
tinn ni-ut-l ii-? f... >' l.-e "S
j per cent, of the acres in soil-depleti
ing crops.
I And he must not have an acreage
of depleting; crops this year greater
j than his base acreage for these crops.
The bases and normal average
yields for cotton, tobacco, and peanuts
will be the same as established
for 1936 under the old AAA.
Bases for other depleting crops
j will be worked out on a fair and cqui!
table basis by the Secretary of Agrii
culture. Dean Schaub said.
Cot ton, tobacco, corn, wheat, peaI
nuts, truck, and the like arc classi!
tied as soil-depleting crops. SuilI
conserving crops include forest trees,
I legumes, hays, and pasture grasses.
Part of the soil conservation grant
to each farm will be a moderate soilmaintenance
payment, probably 75
cents an acre, on land planted to soilbuilding
or conserving crops.
Fields already in these cjops, and
or. which the crops are maintained
in 1936, will qualify for these payments
as well as fields where these
crops are planted this year for the
first time in several years.
The other part of the grant will
be a diversion payment on land shifted
from depleting crops *c soil-building
or conserving crops.
A diversion payment of si* cents
a pound on the average production of
land thus taken out of cotton has
been recommended.
The recommended tobacco payment
is at least five cents a pound,
but in no event less than the rate
TiPr nnitnH f\r\ *?/v
For peanuts, the recommended rate
is 1% cents a pound, but in no case
leas than 25 per cent, of the rate for
cotton.
Diversion payments on other soildepleting
crops will be fixed later.
Dean Schaub stated.
The maximum amount of cotton
land on which diversion payments will
be made for shifting to soil-building
or conserving crops is 40 per cent, of
the base acreage.
The maximum diversion on which
tobacco payments Will be made is 30
per cent, of the bene, and the maximum
for peanuts is 20 per cent, ol
the base, the dean pointed out.
No diversion payments will be
made on food and feed crops if the
farmer, in diverting land in these
crops to soil Improvement, reduces
his food and feed production below
the amount needed on his farm.

on most Sunday calls and

These new reduced long distance rate periods
make long distance telephone service still more
convenient and economical, and more useful to
more people in more ways than ever before.
You can now enjoy Sunday voice visits by telephone
with out-of-town relatives and friends at the
low night rates. Reduced night rates are also now
in force on person-lo-person calls after 7 P.M.
every night where the day rate is more than fifty
cents. Formerly reduced night rates applied only
to station-to-station service.
Maybe you haven't heard from Mother, Father,
Sister or Brother for some time?why not have a
really personal voice visit by telephone with them
next Sunday? It would be a joyful surprise for
them and equally pleasing for you.
Ask "Long Distance" for rates. It's surprising
how little it costs to telephone anywhere at the new
low Sunday rates.
