Payments Are
Available Under
Grain Program
Producers who participate in
the 1962 Feed Grain Program
are entitled to payment for
diverting , acreage from pro
ducts of corn and grain sor
grums, according to W. S. Smi
ley, Chairman of the Warren
County Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation Commit
tee.
Up to half of the estimated
payment to be earned may be
paid in advance when the pro
ducer signs up under the pro
gram, he said.
Smiley said this program
provision should be of substan
tial benefit to growers who
can use some extra ready cash
during the spring planting sea
son. Signup for the program
runs through March 30.
The program offers payments
to producers for diversion of
feed grain cropland to approv
ed soil conservating uses. The
program is voluntary, but farm
ers who cooperate must divert
a minimum acreage in order
to be eligible for price support
on the normal production of
their 1962-crop corn and grain
sorghum acreage.
Farm payment rates will
vary according to the farm's
productivity in relation to the
county average productivity
and the number of acres di
verted, Smiley said.
The minimum acreage for di-'
version from corn or grain |
sorghum will be figured from
the "farm base" which is de
termined from the average
acreage on the farm used in
producing the crop in 1959-60.
The minimum reduction is 20
per cent of the base. The max
imum -depends upon the size of
the farm base.
Smiley said that farmers who
interested- in participating in
the 1962 feed "grain program
should get in touch with the
ASCS office at their earliest
convenience.

Farmers Reminded
Cotton Release Date
Farmers who do not plan to,
plant all or a part of their
cotton allotment in 1962 can
protect their cotton acreage
history by releasing the allot
ment to the ASC County Com
cittee, W. S. Smiley, Chairman
of the Warren County Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conser
vation Committee, said yester
day.
Such acreage must be releas
ed before the deadline, which
is March 23, 1962.
A farmer who plans to plant
at least 75 per cent of his cot
ton allotment this year need
take no action to release any
acreage in order to preserve
the allotment base for his farm,
Smiley said. But a farmer who
fails to plant at least 75 per
cent of his 1962 allotment will
find hist cotton allotment will
be reduced in 1963 if he fails
to release the unused part o:
his 1962 allotment to the AS(
County Committee.
By releasing tne unused par
of the cotton allotment to the
county committee, the individ
ual farmer's 1962 planting his
tory will be preserved and alsc
the planting history of th<
county and state. The releasee
allotment will be apportioned
by the county committee foi
use by other farms.
Here are the requirement!
which cotton farmers mus1
meet in 1962 in order fully tc
protect their future farm allot
ments: The farmer must (1]
plant at least 75% of the 1965
allotment, or (2) released the
acreage he does not need anc
plant at least 75 per cent oi
the remainder, and (3) actual
ly plant some cotton in. 1965
if the entire allotment was re
leased in both 1960 and 1961.
Smiley urges farmers who d<
not intend to plant all of theii
cotton allotment In 1962 to gel
in touch with the ASCS Coun
ty Office at Warrenton, and
discuss how to protect theii
future cotton acreage history.

Over $78,000 Paid
To Warren Farmers
More than $78,000 was paid
to Warren County farmers who
carried out approved conserva
tion practices and received
ACP cost-sharing assistance in
1961.
This was revealed in a sum
mary completed by the War

showed that 845 farmers par
ticipated in the program and
were paid a total of $78,341.
T. E. Watson, ASCS Office
Manager, said that this number
of participating farmers repre
sent 34% of the farms in the
county but covers 52% of the
cropland. Watson said that the
percentage of farms participat
ing in 1960 was 30 per cent
and in 1959 it was 25 per cent.
The summary shows that the
most popular practice in the
county program was winter
cover. Some 541 farmers seed
ed 3464 acres of small grain,
crimson clover, wheat, oats and
rye. The next most popular
was seeding pasture and fes
cue rotation, 246 farmers estab
lished 1385 acres. A total of
61 farms used limestone on
869 acres of grasses and !e
gumes and 9X5 tons were usei
on permanent vegetation covei
The forestry practice is stil
popular, said Watson. Twent;
three farmers planted 231 acre
of pines and 11 farms did foi
estry improving on 324 acres.
A tabulation of the practice
for which Soil Conservatio
Service has technical supei
vision shows that 27 water in
pounding dams were construe!
ed, 386,000 square feet of me:
dow strip and 300 feet of tei
