? - -- ? ^ - w T" Woshhuiton jwitew! 1941 AAA Farm vPr^ 1 gram Emphasizes Ade-J quate Supplies; Small] Farm Needs v ^ .?*.. ', 4 Both the 1941 Agricsltural Con- i servation Program and the 1941 j Range Conservation Program are ] baaed on. zaeommendatjons of far- j mer-committeemen and ranchmen at ] national conferences earlier in the ] summer. The programs follow the j same general lines as those of 1939 j and 1940. Acreage allotments for crops other j than wheat will be announced later in j the season, when 1941 production and ; the affect of the European War on ] consumer demand may be determined more accurately. A national wheat acreage allotment for 1941 of 62 mil lion acres was announced previously, i Rates of payment under the program will be determined and announced after all national acreage allotments are available. In approving the program, Secre tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal lace said: 'The Nation's defense are paramount today. In the 1941 Farm Program, fanners set up for them selves two goals that gear into the defense program ?r conservation of soil and maintenance of abundant supplies. "The program continues the soil conservation efforts with which far mers are seeking a balance between soil-conserving and soil-depleting crops. The object is to store an 'Ever Normal Granary of fertility' in the soil that is just as real as our supplies of corn, wheat, and cotton. "The second goal is abundance, and farmers are aiming at food and fiber supples for 1941 sufficient to meet all current needs and furnish ade quate reserves, as provided for in the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938. We have that volume of sup plies on hand now,. and under the 1941 program, farmers propose to maintain it through the coming year." With the aim of stabilizing pro duction, the 1941 program provides that in order to earn full conservation payments it will be necessary for a commercial vegetable grower to plant at least 80 percent of his acreage al lotment The safe provision may be applied to other crops in areas where production varies widely from year j to year. The program contains three pro visions which may be applied in indi vidual counties as a means of obtain ing greater conservation under the program. These provisions may, up on recommendation of county and State committees, be used in lieu of total soil-depleting acreage allot ments in areas where feed crops are not generally grown for market and greater conservation can be ob tained under the alternative provis ions. These are: (1) Establishment of a five-year conservation pi am for a farm, with deductions from allotment payments for failure to attain the 1941 portion of the plan. (2) Determination of a minimum acreage of erosion resisting crops and land uses, with deductions from payments for failure to maintain this acreage in erosion resisting crops and land uses, and (3) Provision that no farm can earn a greater percentage of its pay ment on special acreage allotments than the percentage which is earned of the soil-building- allowance. Small Farms. A number of provisions are con tained which give further considera tion to the needs of the operators of small farms. 1. The provision under which at least $20 may be earned on any farm is continued for 1941. If as much as $15 is earned by planting forest and farm MBit much r 2. A turn in the comaurcial corn nefeJor which ia com qUiitnisil of mb than 10 acme ia determined may >e considered a non-com-allotment ton. If thetaltonent ianot txceed .>d, the farm automgticaQy become# i. corn allotment farm, btfcif the el otment ia exceeded, the operator may pint up to 10 acres -of cam without ?MiiTig- subject to deduction from his impin nslinn payments. :UndSr the L040 program it was necsesary fw a< farmer having * eorn allotment of ees than 10 acres to indicate whether re wished his farm consfared-aii al otment or a , non-allotment farm. , Many fanners are not in posi tion to decision before planting. rt\ 3. On farms where the max? imam payment is not more than $20, any "part of the soil-building ? allow ance may be earned by carrying out locally adapted conservation practices not included in the program. This provision will be applicable in des ignated areas where they are need ed, and the practices for which pay ment will be made under it will be recommended by local .committee men. ^ 4. In areas where feed crops are not generally produced for marlmt, any farmer may grow as much as 30 acres of soil-depleting erops with- 1 out incurring a deduction for exceed ing the total soil-depleting acreage n allotment. Other changes from 1940 are: ..... Cotton. Not to exceed 1- percent of the 0 1941 cotton allotment for each State 8 will be used for allotments for new jj growers. Under the 1940 program up to- 2 per cent could -be used for - this purpose. This change was adopt ed in view of the substantial adjust- s ment being made by established cot- _ ton growers. No payment will be made for 1941 on cotton allotments 13 for new growers. The allotment will 0 enable a new grower to grow cotton s without deductions from other pay- ? meats and without marketing kuota * penalties. Restoration Land ? ' Provision is made for* reclassify- 1 ing restoration land on which a per- s manent vegetative cover has been re established as non-crop open pesture * or range land. Soil-Building Practices. As in 1940, a soil-building allow- I ance will be earned by carrying out J soil-building practices, in addition c to the soil-building allowance, a 3 special allowance of $15 is available f for any farm under the 1941 pro- ^ gram to be earned , by planting for- 1 est trees. This special allowance ( amounted to $30 in the 1940 pro- 1 gram. This change was made in consider- < ation of a recommendation of the J National conference and because of J (1) difficulty in estimating the < amount of payment which could be 1 earned under the provision, thus ere- i a ting a problem in budgeting, funds, and (2) the fact that it is adminis tratively impracticable to have sub stantial quantities of funds "ear- < marked" only for specific practices on a national basis. The total amount of funds avail able for soil-building practices is not decreased by this change. The entire soil-building allowance for any farm maf be earned by planting forest trees. *, To encouragS" tlie carrying out pf aoil-building practices which are best adapted to local areas, the program provides: that, within designated areas, on any farm where 50 per cent of the crop land and orchard land is devoted to perennial legumes or grasses, a farmer may earn $50, or one-half of the soil-building allow ance, whichever ia smaller, by carry ing out locally adapted soil-building practices. The practices for which payment will be made will be> recom mended by local committeemen. Deduction from conservation pay ments is provided if farmer* do not maintain soil-building practices car . ried out under previous programs un With summer on the wane, State oLiege specialists recommend the allowing good farming practices or September the first autumn lonth of the year: t: ; Plant winter grazing crops now, ays Earl H. Hostetler, professor of nimal husbandry. Italian rye or any f the cerial grains make excellent razing for all kinds of livestock uring the winter and early spring. Tie grazing will be improved and he period extended if white hitch clover or crimson clover is eeded with the grain or grass. Ellis Vestal, extension swine spec alist,. says many pigs are farrowed a September, But before farrowing f corntime, put the brood sow in i field that has been cultivated ince any hogs ranged over it. Never et pigs go to old hog lots or pens. Ceep them on clean land until they reigh at least 100 pounds. Vestal tlso says a sow worth feeding ihould have a good farrowing house, bounty agents have 'blueprints of hese houses which any grower may >btain. September is a good month to ilant pastures, recommends John Vrey, extension dairyman. It is one >f the most favorable months of the rear, since seedings made now, will jet off to a good start during the ill and winter. This will enable hem to withstand better the drouths >f summer, a fact which is not al ways true of pastures planted in he spring. In planting, Arey rec ommends good land with the seed jed pulverized to a depth of three inches 300 to 400 pounds per acre )f a high grade fertilizer mixture, and grasses and legumes suited to soil and climatic conditions. Cotton should be picked just as til fall benefits to the soil have beenj II Some- revisions were made in prac- j I tices in the 194ft program to adapt I I them, more* exactly to local; condi-1 H. Ten new soil-building practices rec lommended by the National i confer-1 ence have been added to the program. J These practices in-the main meet soil I I conservation needs in specific arras 1 ment <rf permanent pastures, farm J Uroodlaad fire,protection, and prac-J I tices specifically applicable to or- J I Range Conservation Program.

J j a bit of timely advice at the begto-j, ning of "ootton-pickmV time. Th e | first open boils usually oontaift much ( moisture and if ,'pickedh before tjie t lint is fulffy, the seed cotton will j heat. After picking, the cotton ahoutyj be sunned or, spread-out in the cotton house and stirred with h fork each day. If possible, hold from one to ] two weeks, since green cotton gin- ^ cuts easily. "J. , September is the beginning of thie ' annual season for fairs, so H. B. Niswonger, - Extension Service horti- . culturist, advises farm families to get their exhibits of fruits and vegeta bles ready now. - He says fruit tor be', exhibited should be picked and-handl ed with extreme care,-keeping in mind that the best fruit for show purposes is found near the, top of the tree. Don't pick the-largest sped: mens but those which are typical of the variety. Then wrap each one in paper and pack snugly. .Vegetabfes for exhibit should be free from blem ishes, clean, and fully matured. - . Jack Rowell extension, entomolog ist, adds this- suggestion to the Sep-' tember list:.- Tobacco fields shouht be plowed and planted to - a. good cover crop to aid in the {control of tobacco insects. This will prevent the development of tobacco; suckers which furnish a food.,, supply for hordes of flea beetles, born worms, bud worms, and other insects until frost. If the development of suckers is prevented, most of the tobacco in*-' sects will go intohibernation so wekfcf they cannot emerge . the following spring to lay eggs for a etop of new" pests to harass growers in 1941. CSotr ton farmers shetfld follow the ranie practice to fight boll weevils. A J^hilan^nropiiaiir iou Can Be Oflc^Yocty And I You Ddn^ NeMBfotaey! ?
