Plans Given For
1938 Soil Program
The 1938 agricultural conservation
program is aimed directly at soil con
servation, with as much cash-crop
control as is possible under provisions
ttt the AAA as it now stands.
Farmers complying with the pro
3Prnm will need to carry out half again
as many soil-building practices as in
1937, said E. Y. Floyd, of State Col
lege, in announcing the program for
next year.
But these practices will be those
which any farmer interested in con
serving his soil will be glad to fol
low, he added.
A greater effort will be made to
regulate the acreage of soil-depleting
crops by providing for heavier
deductions from the payments of
growers who exceed their "soil-depleting
goals," Floyd stated.
If growers desire a greater degree
of production control, he continued, it
will have to be secured through legis
lation in addition to the present agri
cultural conservation act.
in the lSCifri program, he went on,
goulx will be set up for the optimum
acreage of soil-depleting crops and
oil-buildiug crops and practices for
!ach farm.
Goals for depleting crops will be
the acreages which would usually be
reijuireu 10 supply me demand at a
price fair to both the producer and
the consumer. The national and state
goals will be subdivided into county
and individual farm goals.
Soilbuilding goals will include the
crops and practices needed to restore
sjwI maintain the soil resources of
the land.
Separate goals will be prescribed
tor cotton, tobacco, peanuts, and pa
tiUics if a majority of the potato
3f rowers vote to have this crop in
cluded. There will also be goals for
ajr-neral depleting crops.
Provisions for commercial vegeta
bles, commercial orchards, and non
crop pasture land will be about the
aame as in 1937.
The program will be administered
through state, county and community
committees composed of farmers,
with supervision of an advisory na
ture given by AAA and extension
service workers.
At the beginning of the crop year,
the maximum amount of payment a
grower will be able to earn will be

Earl Ferguson, who sold his ex
change store here to the Brown-No-land
Supply Company, announced thiu
week that will devote his entire time
to the operation of the Jonathan Roll
er Mill and his dairy.
Mr. Ferguson opened the exchange
store here last January. Besides
serving as an exchange place for
grain for products of the mill, the
firm sold ajt retail, kindred lines.
The growing popularity of Jona
than Roller Mill products demanded
more of Mr. Ferguson's time than he
was able to devote to it and alsu
manage the store and his dairy.

goal for a farm, the committeemen
will consider the acreage of crops
usually grown, acreage of food and
feed needed for home use, good soil
management, tillable acreage on the
farm, type of soil, topography, pro
duction facilities, and crop rotations.
The soil-building goals will be set
up according to the needs of the farm
for good soil management through
terracing, use of fertilizer, legume
crops, and other conservation prac
tices. The committeemen and farmers
would discuss and agree upon the
practices needed. A farmer would
not be required to carry out practices
not needed on his farm.
Small farms of the subsistence
type would have goals for soil-depleting
crops established at the farm's
usual acreage of such crops which are
primarily needed for food and feed
on the farm.
Payments for performance will be
divided among the producers on a

Asheville cuncil, under which the local
troop works.
A year ago this month Miss String
field, backed by the sponsorship of
the Woman's club, organized the Way
nesville troop of Girl Scouts. She has
accomplished much during the past
year. There are 37 girls now in the
troop, 30 of whom are second class
scouts, all of whom have uniforms.
The local troop has received not
only recognition from the Asheville
council, but from National headquar
ters, for the work they have covered
in one year, which usually requires a
greater length of time. The meetings
held each week are attended a hun
dred per cent.
It is Very fitting that the anniver
sary meeting be held in the city of
Savannah, that gave birth in 1912 to
this most worthwhile organization.
The first two days will be given over
to "national training of the leaders,
and the program will be featured by
many constructive ideas for the
workers.
