Limestone. Superphosphate, and
.seed are now available to pro
ducers under the 194 3 program
and several farmers have already
taken advantage of securing these
materials for the improvement of
their soil.
In addition to furnishing these
materials a.s Grant of Aid, the
AAA Program also has set up soll-
huildiiig units for each farm, and
payment Is m-ide to producers for
certain practices carried out. This
money is not a gift or a ‘‘relief”
aid. but farmers must actually
earn it to receive it. That is,
they must earn the soil-hnildlng
units required by carrying out
practices to improve their soil.
In this time of emergency, the.
AAA farm program gives farmers
all over the county an opportuntty
to work together in saving tlrtir
soil and improving its fertility,
end in bringing about fatref in
comes foV themselves, es well as
aiding the War effort in pi*©-
duction of vjtal food pAducts.
The matei^ls offered throBgh the
AAA not only help to hi^er fwo-
ducHon, but at the salne time
build up the soil for future pro
duction.

AA-A has added scverel new pro
