AAA Announces Halfs for 1940
Conservation Payments
The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration today announced
the rates at which conservation
payments under the 1940 AAA
farm program will be computed.
Rates of payment and deduc
tions under the Agricultural Con
servation, Range' Conservation
and Naval Stores programs will
be 10 p'er cent less than the ten
tative rates indicated last Novem
ber. Those adjustments are nec
essary in order that the payments
will not exceed the available
funds.
The revision of rates was made
under the1 provision that the rates
of payment are subject to the ap
propriation available and to up
ward or downward adjustment
for participation by as much as
10 per cent1.
In 1937, on the basis of similar
provisions, rates of payment were
increased 10 per cent; in 1938,
no adjustments were necessary;
important for Women
A weak, run-down condition often
gives a foothold to junctional
dysmcxorrhca, causing much peri
odical distress from headaches,
nervousness, cramp-like pain for
women. CARDUI so often helps in
buch cases, for it sharpens appe
tite, boosts flow of gastric juices;
so improves digestion, helps build
physical resistance. CARDUI, tak
en a few days before and during
"the time," is another way to help
periodic distress. Used 50 years.

and In 1939, rates were decreased t
10 per cent on certain crops. <
I Tbe use of a portion of the ap- i
. propriation tor the 1940' program I
for the completion of payments i
under tbe 1939 program was au- t
thoriied by Congress. This trans
fer of funds was made necessary 1
. by larger than anticipated par tic- i
> ipation in the 1939, program and
to cover advances in connection ff
with the granti of aid and crop
insurance programs for that year.
| The result was to decrease the
' amount available for 1940 pro
' gram payments. This decrease in
available funds and participation
' in the 1940 programs, somewhat)
larger than est'mated, makes the
' rate revisions necessary.
! Payments which are under j
$200, after being computed at the
revised rates, will be increased in
' accordance with the small pay-|
ment provisions of the Agricul-j
tural Adjustment! Act.
Parity payments which are'
made under a separate appropri-j
ation are not affected.
Old Ragson "tatters from Brush- j
vllle says: "Amos Tasb has a nice
sixteen-year-old daughter that:
don't smoke, drink or rate."

Because our policy has been to build t ahead of the actual nails of the
territory we serve, we tea respond without delay to the needs of industry.
Tillery hydro-electric plant pictured here is one of twelve generating
stations which can supply 'the increased demand for electric power that
may result from the Defense Program i*i the area we serve.
Tho absorbing questions today are: "Haw soon
cm this country got under way with its pre
pared nets program?" and "How long will it be
before we con defend our shores against
aggression?"
Of one thing you can be sure ?
that private industry, under Hie
America* System of free enter
.* / >
prise, supply the answers,
prMiptiy aad effectively

In many lines of industry a little time will be re
quired for adjustment, but we are READY! , .
ready, with focilitias, built in anticipation of prog
ress, to supply ony immediate demand for power
that industry in this section might
moke upon us os o result of the
present emergency. And ready with
