That’s why it’s so impor tant that farmers who have made farm plans for carry ing out conservation prac tices follow through o n those plans and actually carry out the conservation pi actices.

He pointed out that too often the demand piles up in cer tain periods of the year and j the lime and phosphate i cannot be shipped in fast j enough to meet the demand Then demand will slacken off, and more could be ship ped in if farmers could use the material. As conservation practices under the ACP Program, the application of lime and phosphate are most valua ble in increasing the growth |of grasses and legumes. 1 These crops protect the soil in several ways. The leaves protect the soil from the bombardment of rain drops and “splash erosion,” and the roots hold the soil to gether and lead the water down into it.
