Floyd, State Exe cutive Officer of tbe Agricultural Conservation Program, who states: "We have been advised by the| Washington Office that the supply of winter legumes, vetch, Austrian winter peas and crimson clover seed will be very short due to tha poor crop in tbe Slates of Wash ington and Oregon, where the principal supply of seed is grown for this State. May we urge you to pass the word out to all producers that can save seed of hairy vetch, Austrian winter peas, and crimson clover for fall seeding. A large number of producers are planning to earn their soil-building allow ance by the seeding of winter legumes, and unless every precau tion is made to save all available seed, there will be a shortage of I seed of the above mentioned crops. You could be of no greater serv- ; ice to those producers who will have available seed and to those producers who expect to seed win ter legumes this fall than to en- ' courage the saving of all available winter legume seed." Agricultural CoiuiervanoA Pro gram Encourages Terracing Under the 1939 Agricultural Conservation Program, provision is made to help the farmer reach his soil building goal by terracing. Each 200 lineal feet of the Stan dard type of terraces constructed this year counts one unit toward attaining the Soil Building Goal. Last year. Franklin County farm ers lost over $9,000 because they failed to carry out enough units to earn their full conservation pay ment. This means that 8,000 units of soil building practices are gone Substituting 200 lineal feet of ter races [or each unit lost, means that 1,200,000 feet of terraces could have earned $9,000 for the farmers of this County. The Frank lin County Mutual Soil Conserva tion Association has a terracing outfit that could have constructed the one million two hundred thou sand feet of terraces for around $6,000. This would have netted the farmers $3,000 more thau they actually received last year, and would have given them the badly needed terraces which would have benefited the land for years to come. Plan now to earn your Soil Building Goal. Open Ditches Now The Terracing Outfit operated by the Franklin County Mutual Soil Conservation Association will be available for service to farmers this summer. Now is a good time to open dKches, build roads, pull stumps, prepare meadow strips, move buildings, grade yards, build fish ponds or perform numerous other worth while services to farm people. Your County Agents will be glad to visit your farm, talk with you about the work and give you an estimate of the cost. ? ? ???????? ?
