This ser vice which isjbffered to produeern of all ailotmep; crops by ASC was te lined “prepieasurement” today by Alvin. Pat'\ Chairmau of the Agricultural Stabilization and Con servation County Committee. Every year' there are some far mers who, through inadequate measurement bn their own part o'. | because of incorrect informatioi | on the acreage in permanent fields plant either mbre or less than they are actually permitted by their *al I lotment. In the case of overplant ling, this causes the farmer urine I cessary expense in the way of un ' used fertilizer, unused plants or I seed, <h- treating of land that can’t I be usedfiln the case of undeiplant ing, thi^icouid cause the farmer to lose some of his “planting his tory”, and of course it would caust him to lose some of his income. This premeasurement service may be requested through the local ASC county office beginning Feb. 1, 1961,. for hurley tobacco. ASC has already trained and equipped the reporters who will do this pre measurement work. The farmer will be required to pay only the actual cost of the visit to his farm and the determination of acreage on his farm. T?e deposit to cover the actual cost .of the work is made, by.%- qptftfjßfc' he makes application for premea surement. _ * The promeasured acreage will be accepted by ASC reporters as the “official” measured acreage provided the farmer plants the en tire premeasured area and no more, and provided there was no obvious error made in the premea surement. A later trip will be made to the farm to determine that these requirements have been met; but ‘.n>most cases additional measurements will not be necess ary. According to Pate, only a limited amount of this premeasurement work can be done in the short time available, so applications should be made early r . All farmers desiring premeasurement should visit their county ASC office as soon as possible after, the opening . date on Wednesday February 1, L9§l. rr~ * ■ _ ————• — 1 .
