Sign-Up Period For Soil Banfc Acreage
Reserve Program Hearing For Farmers
Several changes' have been made will begin m Duplin County on the
In rh Soil Bank Acreaffe Reserve I first dav of February and cotton
Program that will be in effect this
year, according to Samuel T. Brown
Duplin ASC oiuce manager.
For 1957 there will be no minimum
acreage limitations on the amount
of land that may be entered in the
program except those already in ef
fect for 1957 wheat.
There will be limits on extent
of participation, though, Brown
said, and in some cases the limits
are lower than last vear.
First, the acreage for any com
modity placed in the Acreage Re
serve for a farm shall not exceed
that farmer's allotment for that
commodity. Within this limitation
the maximum acreages that may be
originally placed in the program are
flue cured tobacco, three acres or
30 per cent of the allotment, which
ever is larger; cotton, 10 acres or
30 per cent of the allotment, which
ever is greater; and on corn and
rice, 2U acres or au per rem-

Brown called attention to the fact
that this program is in efect as an

pra farmer who are now 65 years
old or older, the two years credit

Farmers who believe they are now
eligible should take toe following
step upon contacting a represen

to file their claims for benefits:
..trPresent a copy of too 1956 In
Tax Return (Form 1040 and
Farm Schedule of Income and, Ex

(Farmers who are now covered by
