New AAA Program
Applies Equitably
Says J. F. Criswell
COLLEGE STATION.'* Raleigh,
Dec. 17.—The 1937 soil conservation
program will apply more equitably
to all North Carolina farmers, ac
cording to J. P. Criswell, of State
college.
Next year, he pointed out, farmers
who do not grow tobacco, cotton,
and peanuts will be given greater
opportunity to earn payments with
soil-building practices.
Provision has also been made for
larger payments to truck growers,
orchardlsts and dairy farmers. Cris
well continued.
However, he stated, cash-crop
growers will still be offered diver
sion payments for taking land out
of these crops and increasing their
acreage of soil-conserving crops.
More emphasis will be placed on
soil-building in 1937, be said, in as
mndi as the rate of payment for
soil-building practices will probably
be increased and a greater acreage
of soil-conserving crape will be re
quired for a grower to receive his
maximum payment.
The minimum acreage at soil
conserving crops to be required next
year will be the acreage normally
devoted to these crops on each farm
plus the acreage diverted from soil
depleting crops.
Penalties for failure to plant the
minimum acreage of conserving
crops required will be enforced more
strongly in 1937 than In 1936 and
there will be a stricter checking ol
growers’ compliance, Criswell said.
