physically incorporate an agreed
upon acreage of the crop into the
soil or clip, mow, or cut it before
an established final date, which
in no case may be later than
July 31.
Points 2 and 3, Mr. Pate pointed
out, are special provisions for the
1956 crop year because of the late
enactment of the program. He
said it is anticipated that differ
ent provisions will apply to 1957
and succeeding under, the Soil
Bank. "
Tobacco land placed in the ac
reage Reserve in apy of the abovo,
ways, Mr. F*ate said, may not tfe
cut for hay or cropped for the en
tire 1956 calendar year and may
not be grazed after June 22.
Noxious weeds must be controlled
on the acreage.
Participation 1 111 the Acreage
Reserve program under the Soil
Bank will not affect the tobacco
grower’s future acreage allot
ments, Pate said today.
Even though the farmer reduc
es his tobacco crop to earn* Soil
Bfihk acreage reserve payments
and help with surplus adjustment,
he, will receive credit for having
planted the full amount of his
acreage allotment. In that way,
his tobacco history will be protect
