N. C. TIME EXTENDED FOR YOUR SOIL CONSERVING CROP Many Farmers Have Been Handi capped by Dry Weather. Winter legumes sown in October may bq counted as soil-conserving crops under the 1936 soil-improve ment program, according to J. F. Criswell, of State College. The time allowed for seeding conserving crops has beten extended to October 31, since many farmers have been handicapped by dry weather, he explained. He growers to take ad vantage of the time extension and sow enough conserving crops to qualify for the maximum payments possible for them to receive. A change in the regulations, he added, npw permits growers to meet their minimum conserving crop acreage requirements by sow ing winter legumes on fields where depleting crops were harvested earlier in the year. The minimum acreage of conserv ing crops required is equal to 20 per cent of the base cotton, tobacco, and, or peanut acreage plus 15 per cqnt of the base acreage of other depleting crops. This is the minimum amount of conserving crops a farmer must grow to participate in the soil-im provement program. Conserving crops may also be grown for another purpose: to make a grower iqligible to receive pay ment for carrying out soil-build ing practices. When grown for this purpose, the conserving crop must not be placed on land where deplet ing crops have been raised this year. Since the work of checking growers’ compliance with provis ions of the soil-improvement pro gram has been completed in most counties, Criswqll stated, growers who seed conserving crops in Octo ber should report it to their coun ty agents so they will get credit for the later seedings. at the M UNDERSELLERS I ROXBORO I The Big Sale is now on.
