Maicus Braswell. Chairman of the North Carolina ABC State Committee, announced today that Cumberland. Sampson, Cleve land. and Rutherford Counties had i ecu selected by the Secre tary of Agriculture. Orville L. Freeman, to have a cropland conversion program in 19H-I-65. This selection by the Secretary was made on the basis of the North Carolina ASC State Com mit tec's earlier selection and ap proval of these counties. The same counties had also Ixhmi se lected for a pilot program for a similar program in 1963 In making the announcement. Braswell said that the basic pur pose of the program was to im prove family farm income by giving farmers an opportunity to convert land from production of crops into other income-produc ing uses. Farmers in these coun ties will be given the opportunity to sign agreements for a five year period. They will receive payments that will enable them to convert the land into an ap proved use and will also receive an adjustment payment to help defray some of the costs of mak ing adjustments in the farming opeiations. Chairman Braswell said that detailed information as to how the program will operate in these four counties will be available in the very near future. He said that the selection of four coun ties in North Carolina out of a total of 101 in the United States was a real honor to the counties selected It will give farmers in these counties an opportunity to test a program that is being su diet! very closely as a means of solving some of our agricultural problems. Farmers will be given the opportunity to convert land from tile production of row crops and small grains to such uses as grassland, forestry, water stor age facilities, and other recrea tion facilities. The local programs will be developed to fit the needs of the individual counties. Project HOPE has earned en dorsements from Presidents Ei senhower.
