THE YANCEY RECORD . ' • - ' '■ Mr \: V.. t TO THE PROGRESS OF YANCEY COUNTY” NEW AAA FARM PRO GRAM FOLLOWS DEFENSE IDEA [ With national defense s the paramount issue in the J country today, the 1941 l AAA farm program has , been designed to tie in ■ closely with defense aims, ■ says E. Y. Floyd, AAA exe s cutfve officer of State Coll ege. The new program, which ■ has just been announced, ! will emphasize conserva . tion of the soil and the • maintenance of abundant 1 supplies through an ever -1 normal granary plan. ■ ' Based on recommenda > tions of farmer-committee ’ men who met in Washing ton qarlieF’in the summer, the 1941 program will foll ow the same general lines of the 1939 and 1940 pro grams. "" Small farmers’ needs have been given further consideration in the new program, Floyd said. For instance, the provision under which at least S2O may be earned on any farm through conservation mea sures will be continued in 1941. If as much as sls is earned by planting forest trees, any farm may rece ive as much as $35 under the program. The program also provi des that on small farms where the maximum pay ment is not more than S2O, any part of the soil-build ing allowance may be earn ed by carrying out locally l adapted conservation prac ' tices not included in the - National program. ; This provision will be ap plicable in designated areas : where needed, and the s practices for which pay -1 ment will be made in this , special group will be reco , mmended by local commit teemen. Likewise, Floyd said, in i areas where feed crops are ■ not generally produced for market, any farmer may grow as much as 30 acres of soil-d eple ti n g crops without incurring a deduc ; tion for exceeding the total soil-depleting acreage al lotment. . - r ~ ATTEND DEMOCRATIC DISTRICT RALLY The following were among those from the co unty who attended the 10th district Derhocratic Rally held j|[ in Morganton last Thursday: W.

It is the farmer’s responsibility to help select the most able farmers to work as com munity and county com mitteemen.
