Thirty-seven farmers did not j
grow any tobacco at all and some I
farmers did not grow their full |
allotment, which accounts for i
the 14.19 not grown.
Marketing cards which are used j
In selling the tobacco will be pre- 1
pared sometime soon. Mrs. Mildred
Williamson. A S C. office man
ager, says farmers will receivc
their books prior to the opening j
date of the markets.
Date Extended
The final date for signing up
in the Soil Bank has been extend
ed to October 9, 1959. October a
represents the close of the first
step toward participating In the
1960 Conservation Reserve Pro
m-am. In taking this first step,
the farmer visits the A.S.C. county
office, indentifies for them the
land he is considering for reserve
and furnishes records or informi
tion with which they will estab
lish maximum payment rate for
the land. If the rate set by the
committee is not acceptable to the
farmer, he In no way is obligated
to participate in the program He
merely requests this maximum
rate in order to help him make
his mind up. The actual signing
of contracts will come at a later
date, after the farmer has been
advised of his maximum payment
rate. The farmers who already
have requested a rate have been
mailed a notice of the rate that
was set for their farm. The dead
line for returning these applica
tions is October 16. 1959. Farmers
who are interested or who think
they are interested should visit
the office and make the first
necessary step by tomorrow.

Objective Told
The primary objective of the
Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram is to assist farmers by bear
ing part of the cost of establish
ing sound soil and water conserva
tion practices to protect the land
from erosion. This Is the season
of the year when most farmers
are establishing one of these
practices, a winter cover crop on
their fields from which they have
harvested tobacco or other crops.
These farmers are urged to take
advantage of the government cost
sharing available through the
county A.S.C. in performing this
needed practice if they have not
already done so. This help is
available to each and every farm
within the county that has a need
for a vegetative cover to protect
their bare land during the winter
months. A good winter cover crop
on land not only protects the soil
but it provides good grazing in
off season.
