1943 AAA Program
Includes Payments
For Farm Ditches
Farmers of Perquimans County
may earn production practice allow
ance credits under the 1943 AAA
program by constructing new farm
ditches and reconstructing old ditches
on cropland or non-crop open pasture
land, it was announced today by Dr.
E. S. White, chairman of the County
AAA Committee.
Regulations governing this prac
tice, he said, provide that farmers
planning to earn credits for ditching
must obtain approval of the County
AAA Committee, together with de
tailed instructions, before carrying
out the practice.
The allowance include both lateral
and lead ditches, provided the
amount of earth removed is equiva
lent to at least an average depth of
one foot, the chairman sai:l. Not
more than one-third of the total cre
dit may be earned for d'tches which
are .bordered on both sides by waste
land. The rate of payment is "lie
unit or $l..r0 per 15 cubic yards of
dirt removed, but no payment will be
made unless adequate provision Is
made for entrance of water into and
out of the ditch.
It also is specifically set out that
no credit will be allowed for any
d'tch which is entirely or partially
maintained by any federal, state or
county appropriation, the chairman

said.
Production practice allowance cre
dits earned for carrying out approved
nractices are counted toward the
maximum payments which may be
esrned on any farm operating under
provisions of the Agricultural Con
servation Program.
"Allowing credit toward maximum
payments under the AAA program
for ditching is an important step to
ward reclaiming much land which
now is unproductive," Dr. White de
clared. "There is a great deal of
land which is practically useless be
cause it is not properly drained. The
payments earned for constructing
these ditches will help the farmers
pay the cost of construction."
He said the County AAA Commit
tee will be happy to discuss ditching
plans with any farmer interested in
the practice.

When a farmer does not receive a
premium price for a high quality pro

also entitled to know the value of his

"Only then," asserted Darst, "can
