3-A Applications
Farmers Who Participated
Must File Applications
For Conservation And
Parity Payments By
March 31st
- i
Farmers who participated in |
| the 1041 Agricultural Adjustment |
j Administration program must file '
| application for conservation and :
i parity payments by March .11, j
| according to E. Y. Floyd, state j
j AAA executive officer.
More than 213,000 farm oper-'
a tors took part in the program j
last year, and each of these
must file an application, he said. |
Payments will not be made on1
applications filed after the deadline.
Mr. Floyd said applications
should be signed at the Triple A
office in the county in which the
farm is located. It was pointed
out that farmers will not be required
to come to the county of- j
fices to receive their checks this
year. U. S. Department of Agriculture
officials have announced
that checks will be mailed directly
to farmers in order to save
time and conserve transportation.
Estimated earnings of North
Carolina farmers under the program
last year are approximately
$14,287,267 in agricultural conservation
payments, and $7,100,000
in parity payments. These
parity payments include $4,200.000
in tobacco payments, $2,800,000
in cotton payments, and
$100,000 in wheat payments. Mr.
Floyd pointed out that parity
payments were necessary under
existing farm legislation to bring
the income received by fanners
for their products to approximately
75 percent of parity. Conservation
payments were made
for planting within acreage allotments
for special crops and carrying
out approved soil building
practices.
Marketing quotas, approved by
farmers in grower referendums,
were in effect for cotton, wheat,
tobacco, and peanuts last year, he
said. Wheat growers approved
quotas by a majority of 83.8 percent,
peanut growers by a majority
of 90.0 percent, and cotton
growers l y a majority of 95.1
percent. Tobacco marketing quotaGREAT

The county has double any previous

Some of the wheat crop [
was sown too late, but is mostly j
looking good. Farmers found this
a good crop last year and this
year's increase in acreage would
have been several times greater
than it is if the fall months had
1 not been too dry for planting.
Peanuts and soy beans will

These arc crops that can be

with very little labor. The increase
