USDA ANNOUNCES 1975 ACP
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES,
INITIAL STATE FUNDING - The U.S.
Department of Agriculture on April 11
announced operational procedures and
initial State funding for die 1975
Agricultural Conservation Program
(ACP).
Authority to develop practices
needed to solve conservation problems
is being delegated to each of USDA's
farmer ? elected county Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation (ASC)
committees in consultation with the
county program development group. All
approved practices in effect under the
1970 National Agricultural
Conservation Program are eligible.
Practices developed by county ASC
committees will be subject to approval
by State ASC committees in
consultation with the State program
development group.
Throughout the practice development
and cost ? sharing approval process, ASC
State and county committees should
emphasize the objective of assuring that
cost - sharing will be for carrying out
enduring soil and water conservation
measures that the farmer would not
perform without this assistance.
Specialized assistance for ACP will be
provided by other USDA agencies with
the Soil Conservation Service furnishing
planning and technical assistance on
servicing of practices and long ? term
agreements and technical services
concerning forestry practices provided
by the Forest Service.
As announced earlier, $190 million
will be made available for program
operations, and will share with farmers
between 50 and 75 percent of the cost
of carrying out needed practices. The
$190 million includes funds to fully
finance the long ? term agreements
signed under the 1974 Rural
Environmental Conservation Program,
currently projected at about
$33,750,000.
North Carolina received a total of
$3,832,487. This includes funds for
ACP in 1975 and long - term agreement
obligations.
1976-CROP WHEAT ALLOTMENT
PROCLAIMED ? A 1976-crop wheat
allotment of 61.6 million acrea was
proclaimed on April 10 by Secretary of
Agriculture Earl L. Butz. The allotment
for the 1975 crop was 53.5 million
acrea.
The national allotment does not
represent a limit on the amount of
wheat that may be planted. Rather, it is
used solely as a basis for making
payments to wheat growers dtould the
market price for wheat fall below the
established target price or if growers
qualify for disaster payments. Under
these two programs, growers are eligible
for payments only on alio ted acres.
The 1976 ailoted acres will be
apportioned among states, counties and
individual producers generally on the
basis of the apportionment for the 1975
- crop year.
Legislation requires that by April 15
of each year, the Secretary of
Agriculture must proclaim a national
wheat acreage allotment for the crop to
be harvested in the next calendar year.
The national allotment represents the
number of harvested acres of wheat,
based on the estimated national average
yield, needed to produce the quantity
of wheat (minus imports) that will be
utilized domestically and exported
during the 1976-77 marketing year.
The 1976 national allotment is
computed on the basis of an estimated
national yield of 33.1 bushels per acre
and estimated total utilization (less
imports) for the 1976-77 marketing
year of 2,040 million bushels. Domestic
use is projected at 841 million bushels,
exports at 1200 million bushels and
imports at 1 million bushels.
The 8.1 million acre increase in the
1976 allotment compared to the 1975
allotment is primarily due to a
substantial improvement in the export
outlook since the 1975 allotment was
established a year ago. At that time,
total whest utilization for 1975-76 was
expected to be about 1,750 million
bushels (including 950 million for
exports) whereas currently the estimate
for 1975-76 is about 1,930 million
bushels of which some 1,125 million
bushels is projected for export.
Other provisions of the 1976 wheat
program will be announced later.

Probably no other agricultural
practice produces so many benefits for
such a low cost as seed treatment before
planting. Seed treatment destroys seed -
borne pathogens, checks soil insect
problems and provides protection
against soil - borne fungi that cause seed
decay, damping off and seedling blights.
This means the establishment of
stronger stands with bigger yields of
better quality crops. The treatment can
also provide the extra measure of
protection needed to enable, already
weakened seed to become established.
Most protective treatments apply a
protective coating of chemical to the
seed surface.
It is estimated that 6.9% of the
soybean crop in North Carolina was lost
to diseases in 1974. The dollar value loss
was 16.4 million dollars. Five percent of
this loss attributed to nematodes.
Nematode diseases are considered a
major factor in low yields in many fields
and the low state average yields. The use
of several methods of control, including
chemical control, resistant varieties and
rotation will help to reduce losses.
Forrest, Bragg and Hutton are varieties
to use if you have a root - knot
problem. Forrest, Pickett and Bragg are
good varieties, where other nematodes
are a problem. Selection of varieties to
plant can mean extra income in the fall
at harvest.

Nothing is good enough
for our cheating account
customers.
Because we can give them a
checking account that asks
them to do just that.
Nothing.
No check sorting every
month. No service charges. No
having to cover a bounced
check. No need to remember a
loan or savings payment.
Because a Southern National
checking account can do it all.
Automatically.
You see, we try to think
up services that make our
customers happy.
And when it comes to
checking we give them nothing
and they love it.
So will you.
