n .ocpcra;o:-2 i:i the Soil Conserva
e 'ion Program by June Ist. Local
Z people were a bit slow to take
1 hold of this program, but Stokes
x will have a large percentag
a signed up by the time the cam
i paign is completed. Unfortunately
J a good many men do not under
i! stand the liberal plan offered by
1 the Government to induce farm
. era to reduce cash crops and
increase the acreage in soil con- j
i
serving and improvement crops.
r i Without a doubt, some men
B ■ next fall are going to say that
if they had understood this plan
they would have been in position
.to receive the payments. On
1 ; their farms they are planting'
' lespedeza. clovers, grasses, cow- ,
peas and soybeans. These men
ii
l are doing the things which the
I
rrovernment wishes to encourage.
Practieallv every tobacco grower
I . .. , I
is making some reduction in his
base acreage and all it would
take in cases of this kind wouli
1 I
be to make a work sheet, which 1
l I
in no wis? obligates a man to do •
r i
anything. But the law does
>
specifically prescribe that any
cooperator who wishes to receive
grants or payments under this
plan, must first s4iow that fie has
made and filled a work sheet.
1 i
i What is this work sheet? The
, work sheet is simply a list of
the acreagee of the crops grown
, on the farm in 1935, together
, with a statement as to its bjca-
I * 1
] tion and total area. The operator
ior owner is not even asked to be
accurate as to the estimated
acreage in corn, wheat or cfawers.
In fact, the payments writ be'
31 made on the measured acres on
these crops this year, should the
farmer decide to apply for the
grants or payments allowed un
| der this plan.
I It does not cost anything to
\
, sign a work sheet. It involves
jno obligation to sign a wm K
j sheet.
j Suppose «t the middle or end
of the season a man should sec
that his tobacco crop has been
> wiped out by hailstorm or a
1 flood or disease. If he has made
a work sheet he can get paid f*
thirty per cent of his crop. If he
has not made a work sheet, it
will be too late to complain
about it after the first of June.
What about the soil conserving
I crops? The answer to this ques
tion is: This is what the govera
- ment is paying for. Improving'
| the soil is the thing which It
- wishes to encourage- If a man
* has five acres of tobacco, five
j acres in corn, four acres in,
♦ wheat and one in garden crops.
; he will need one-fifth as many
r acres or three acres in soil con
r serving crops, such as lespedeta*
. cowpesß, rye or same other. The
'payment far the sod conserving
