Madison Countv Aatfcultural Sta
bilization and Conservation office Jta
Marshall. They must be igned,not
later than July 20 if the 'farmer
wishes to take part in the Acreage
Reserve during the 1966 Cropyear,
according to ASC chairman ..Novile
Hawkins.
The Soil Bank is a new feature of
the national farm program1 author
ized under the farm bill recently en
acted. Its objective is to encourage
farmers to reduce crop acreages and
thus help overcome farm surpluses
that are depressing the, market,
Of particular concern jn this area
at this time is the Acreage; Reserve
program for tobacco. 'Even though
1956 tobacco planting has been com
pleted, producers can make adjust
ments and earn Soil Bank payments
this year, Mr. Hawkins" said.- He
emphasized, however, that "no farm
er should attempt to comply ? with
out checking at the county office
and signing an of ficial agreement
with the Department of Agriculture.
Under the. Acreage Reserve feature
of the Soil Bank,' the fanner earns
payments by reducing hi) v tobacco
acreage below his acreage allotment
and holding these acres out of pro
duction. The amount in reserve is
up to the farmer within certain lim
itations. For the purpose of 'com
puting future allotments, '.the- farm
er will receive credit1. for this re
serve acreage just "as though tobac
co had been grown, on it..,-'V

harvesting ; acres whidh' buffered
from weather damage or by plowing
under a portion of his tobacco acre
age not later ttan July 31, however,
the agreement-must have been sign
ed by July 20.-. - . j
The compensation rate on bjBrley
tor destruction due to natural caus
es (hail, floods, droughti ete.) '-will
be based on the SMALLER bff the
appraised yield or the normal1 yield
for the farm times 18 cents :5er
pound. The chairman explained that
in
destroyed due to natural' causes,
that the appraised (estimated) yield
would be based on the actual condi
tion of the crop AFTER the dam
age or destruction took place ,,and
that in the case of total destruction
the appraised yield would be zero..
Mr. Hawkins said that some farm-1
ers who had damage due to hail or
flood had the impression that the
compensation would be based on the
severity of the damage whereas in
reality according to the regulations
the compensation would be on the
appraised yield of what was left
after the damage occurred. '
The Acreage Reserve payment for
tobacco is determined by multiply
ing a rate per pound times the nor
mal yield of the farm times the
acreage placed in the reserve. The
maximum payment per acre which
can be earned is based on a yield off

.. -Under- the provision for under-
planting the producer will be paid
18c per pound on his normal yield
which consists of the three highest
yearly yields in the last six years.
In most cases Madison County farm
ers would draw the maximum of
$$40 per - acre under the under
planting provision.
To participate due to destruction
of acreage by natural causes such
as, nail, flood, etc., or, by producer
appraising the yield for a ; 2rl " OI "r
office to determine if he has a nor
mal crop or what per cent of a nor
mal crop he has.
If the producer is disposing of
an acreage which is considered a
normal crop he can draw up to the
maximum of $340 per acre. If the
producer crop was completely de
stroyed by hail he would be unable
to receive payment because he is
paid 18c a pound on the percentage
of the normal crop he has left. If
there is no percentage left, there is
nothing left to pay on.
If the crop was damaged 75 he
would be paid on 25 of his yield
Lor the average state yield at 18c a
pound. If his normal yield was 1800
lbs., he would receive 18c a pound
on 450 lbs., or $81.00 provided he
destroyed the . acre of damaged tobacco.

eration to prevent excessive or un

The Madison County producers
who sell milk to Biltmore Dairy
Farms, Biltmore, North Carolina,
have been asked by the company to
install a new system of storing
milk on the farm. This system is
known as the bulk milk storage
tank.
Milk is poured from the milking
pails or direct from the milking
machines into the tanks, and is, cool
ed to at least 40 degree?within a
matter of minutes, the miHfuVlkif
in the tank, at a low temperature ;
until it is pumped into the refriger
ated tank truck and transported to
the plant for pasteurizaion.
Madison County producers in the
Little Pine and Sandy Mush areas
have already installed these tanks.
The remaining Biltmore producers
in the County have been notified to
install these tanks by the 15th of
September.
The Madison County Health De
partment approves this program be
cause it means cleaner, safer milk
from producer to plant. The sani
tarian of our staff, Mr. Willard
Hunter, has worked with the dairies
in supervising the installation of
these bulk tanks.
This is another progressing step
in sanitation in Madison County.
