Agricultural Conservation Program Is Termed Farmer-Taxpayer Partnership tI partnership between the farmer!' and the taxpayer.” That’s the wayi Horace D. Godfrey, state ABC admini- | strative officer, describes the Agricul tural Conservation Program. “The ACP, operated in North Caro lina by state and county ASC Com- < mittees, is the method devised by the Congress whereby the general public i may protect its interest in the nation’s life-sustaining topsoil. In the not too distant future our topsoil will proba bly replace crude oil for the descrip tive term Black Gold. There are sub stitutes for oil but no substitutes have been found for the soil on which our food and fiber are produced,” Godfrey says. Through the ACP the federal gov ernment shares the cost with the farmer of carrying out certain conser vation practices. The 1954 program in North Carolina has been adapted to local needs through the teamwork of representatives of the Soil Conserva tion Service, the Agricultural Exten sion Service, the Forest Service, and the Farmers Home Administration, ex plains Godfrey. The county programs in North Caro lina are being operated by ASC com mittees in line with the following na tional policy: The program is to help achieve ad ditional conservation on the land. Federal funds are to be used in a manner which will accomplish the greatest amount of conservation for the dollar spent. County programs encourage maxi mum conservation with emphasis on I practices on which federal cost-sharing ' is most needed. I Practices are encouraged which will j result in the most enduring conserva-1 tion benefits practicable. » Conservation costs will be shared i with a farmer only where he requests t help before the conservation work is, begun, and then only after he has I satisfactorily performed the conser vation practice. Conservation costs are to be shared only on practices where it is believed , that they would not otherwise be car ried out by the farmers to the needed extent. In general, practices which have become a part of regular farm ing operations on a particular farm arg not eligible for cost-sharing. Wes of cost-sharing in the county be the minimum required for substantial increases of needed con servation. Farmers are expected to assume re sponsibility for the upkeep and main tenance of conservation practices for which costs are shared under the 1954 program. Cost-sharing is for the ini tial establishment of such practices. • COMPARE INTERNATIONAL LIGHT-DUTY LINE WITH ANY OTHER! Come in and drive one of the light-duty r* -«e 1 Internationals!
