the producers according ,to the
amount of work and expense in
curred by each In carrying out
these practices.
The soil-building payments will
be divided on the same basis used
last year, Criswell stated, but a
change has been made in the
method of dividing the diversion
payments.
Last year diversion payment
were divided thin: 16 2-3 per cent
to the producer furnishing the
land, 16 2-3 per cent to the pro
ducer furnishing workstock and
equipment, and 66 2-3 per cent to
be divided in the proportion that
the producers shared in the soil
depleting crops.
- It is believed that the method
of dividing the payments this
year will be more equitable and
less complicated to work out, said
Criswell.
