M. Snipes. Chairman of ( the Orange County Agricultural j Stabilization and Conservation Com- j unit tee, has announced. The signup period for the new program is ex pected to start in early October. Under the Conservation Reserve; —the longtime phase of the Soil ^ Bank, farmers contract to divert general ..cropland to soil, water, forestry, and wildlife conservation practices for periods of 3. 5, or 10 years. In return, farmer's receive two types of payments on the dt verted acreage: Hi a cost-sharing payment <up to 80 percent > the year j they apply a conservation measure. , and 121 annual per-acre rental pay ments encli year the land is under contract. Major changes have been made in (he 1958 Conservation Reserve Program, the Chairman explains, in order to encourage participation by whole farm units and to em phasize forestry and wildlife prac tices. Where such action can be justified, County ASC Committees will be authorized to increase cer tain annual payment rates for land to be planted to forest trees and for whole farms retired from pro duction. According to the Chairman, it has been found -that "the diversion of whole farm units usually results in a larger average reductionin crop production than is accomplish ed where only a part of the crop land on a farm is put in the Soil I Bank. Land going into forest trees is land going out of production over a long period Moreover, there is urgent need to check the disappear ance of our forest resources, which is running ahead of current tree planting nad growth.” Beginning in 1358, contracts of fered for land devoted to trees or j shrub plantings for shelterbelt, windbreak, or wildlife habitat pur ! poses, will be for 5 or 10 years, at the option of the producer. Previ ously, all tree and shrub plantings were under 10-year contracts only. The 10-year requirement remains in effect for tree plantings for for estry purposes.
