Lime Available
Under AAA Program
The 1940 agricultural conserva-'
tion program is similar to the 1939

Harry Hamilton. The main change
that will affect Watauga county
farmers is that every farmer whose
soil building payment was less than
$20.00 last year will have an opportunity
to earn $20 in soil building
practices on the 1940 program. The
fact that any farmer in the county
can cam $20 in soil-building prac- i
tices will mean that more farmers j
should take advantage of this pro- j
pram, and do their best to build up
the fertility of their soil. Another i
change in "the 1940 program is that
any farmer can earn $30 above his 1
normal soil-building payment by
setting nut forest trees.
The county agent's office force is i
now ready to take applications for !
lime and phosphate for the 1940 i
AAA program. The lime will be delivered
to the farmyards at. $2-00 j
per ton. The farmer doesn't have to
pay the S2.C0 because it i.- deducted j
from the soil-building allowance ;
that is established for hi furrr
The farmers can also get 47 per
cent phosphate ori the 1940 program j
without any outlay of cash.
Watauga county used more lime j
in 1939 than any other county in |
North Carolina. Since the soil* j
building payments are larger for
the small farms this year, the county
agents hop* tha r< fanners
will use hr.ve in 1340.
