Meeting with the Raleigh officials and county agents were representatives from th* Washington office, who assisted in clarifying the program. J. G. Morrison, farm agent for Lincoln county, attended the confer ence afld for the benefit of the farm ers of this county has prepared a digest of the conference, which is given below: “I was in Raleigh ail day Tuesday getting information on the new farm program. There are many details that cannot be put into a news let ter' at this time. So much of it has not been decided upon by the State Committee. I will try to explain the principal points of the program as affecting the farmers in this section. First: What must I do to comply with the new farm program ? Answer: One must plant 20* as soil building crops to 80S in crops that run down the soil. For instance, if you have 40 acres planted in such crops as cotton, corn, wheat and oats, you must have as much as 8 acres planted to soil building crops to turn under. These crops are such as peas, soybeans, vetch, clovers, etc. Lespe d(za will be counted a soil building crop when planted alone or that which has been reseeded, but it is not a soil building crop when planted on wheat, the wheat being harvested. Second: How much of my cotton will I have to reduce? Answer: You do not have to reduce any, but you are allowed to reduce as much as 35* of your old base. For reducing the cotton acreage you will be paid 5c per pound for your old yield per acre on the number of acres reduced. For instance, if your old base acres were 20 acres you could take out 7 acres and if your yield per acre were 300 pounds per acre you would get $15.00 per acre for the 7 acres which would be $105.00, how ever, you could plant 19 acres and take out 1 acre for which you would be paid $15.00 for the 1 acre. You are paid on just what you take out from 1 acre up to the number equal to 35* of your base. You are not al lowed to be paid on reducing sueh crops as com, oats, truck, etc., un less you have been raising more than you need for home use. If you have a base that you have established and have been selling these crops, then (Continued on back pago) Went to Kill Cow And Shot Self Stockton, Cal., March 25.—P. H.
