According to H. V. Mangum of the State ASC Office, the first step in the sign-up is for . the farmer who is interested in the program to come to the ASC County Office before the deadline the end of this niont'n and request that annual rental payment rate be established for his farm. At the same time the farmer should bring with him informa tion to be used by the County ASC Committee in establishing rates for his farm. The chief facts needed, Mangum said, are acre age and yields of the tliree prin cipal crops on the farm for the past two years and acreages for other land use on the farm. The conservation reserve is the only soil bank program available ior isoy. under the program farmers retire land from general crops for up to 10 years and de vote the reserved acreage to soil, water, or wildlife conservation practices.
