SOIL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAMFLEXIBLE
Greater Number of Far
[ mers Will Be Able '
To Qualify
The soil-improvement program
has been made more flexible so that
a greater number of farmers will be
able to qualify for payments.
Originally, the program specified
that a fartner must have an acre
age of soil-conserving crops equal
to at least 20 per cent of his base
acreage of cotton, tobacco, or pea
nuts, and at least 15 per cent of his
base acreage of other soil-depleting
crops.
Under a new Riling, said Dean I.
O. Schaub, of State College, growers
who fail to meet the original mini
mum requirements can still qualify
for partial payments. , /
For each acre by which they fail
to meet tfhe minimum requirements,
a deduction will be made in their
payment equal to one and a* half
times the rate of the soil-conserving
payment on crops other than cot
ton, tobacco/ and peanuts.
In North* Carolina, the soil-oon
serving payment, for taking land
out of soil-depleting crops and put
ting it into soil-oonserving crops,
will probably be around $lO an acre,
except in the case of cotton, tobac
co, and peanuts.
On cotton and tobacco the rate is
five cents a pound on the average
production of the land taken out of
these crops, and on peanuts the
rate is 1 1-4 cents a pound.
Another ruling provides that acre
age planted to winter cover crops
and green manure crops after it has
been in vegetable crops will be clas
sified as soft-conserving if it is turn
ed under ad green manure between
January 1 and October 1. 1936.
However, the cover and manure
crops must have been growing at
least two months before being turned
under.
The dean also pointed out that
farmers who already have large
acreages of soH-conserving crops,
but comparatively small acreages of
soil-depleting crops, may obtain soil
building payments without decreas
ing the amount of their cash crops.
If they do not reduce their de
pleting crops, he explained, they will
not receive a soil-conserving pay
ment, for they will not have shifted
p.ny land from depleting to con
serving crops.
But they will be entitled to soil
building payments for the soil-con
serving crops they grow.
The dean explained that soil
building payments are made for
growing soil-conserving crops, while
soil-conserving payments are made
for taking land out of depleting
crops and putting it in soil-con
serving crops.
The AAA has eliminated the term
soil-building crops. Crops formerly
under this classification are now in
cluded with the soil-conserving
crops.
The division of payments between
landlord and tenant has been modi
fied in this region so that 16 2-3
per cent of the payment will go to
the person furnishing the land, 16
2-3 per cent to the person furnishing
the workstock and tools, with 66 2-3'
per cent being divided in the same
proportion that the crop is divided
between them.
The regulations previously estab
lished provided for a division of the
payments between landlord and ten
ant according to the way the crop
was divided between, them, with no
allowance made for the person fur
nishing the land, tools, or workstock.
