Plan Erosion Work on Retired
Acres

Farmers who have Agricultural
Adjustment Administration crop
reduction contracts will be permit
ted to remove their poor land from
production instead of the average
land specified in their contracts, if
their farms are located in one Of
10 areas where the Soil Erosion
Service has established erosion pre-
vention projects, says a report re-
ceived by DIR. Andrew Boss ct Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul.
The plan has been worked out as
"a national experiment in land use
by the replacement crops section Of
the Agricultural Adjustment Adj
ministration in cooperation with
the Soil Erosion Service of the
Department of Interior.
In areas where these projects
have been launched, farmer who
has agreed to reduce his acreage
under any Of the basic commodity
contracts may substitute submarg-
inal land for the average" land to
be removed under the contract, If
he substitutes enough poorer land
to equal the productivity of the
amount of average land that would
be removed under the contract. If
8 acres of the average land would
grow as much of a crop as 10 acres
of the submarginal land, the farm
er would have to take 10 acres Of
the poorer land out Of production
for every 5 acres Of average land
called for under his contract.
Each soil erosion project covers
about 100000 acres. Those already
established are in Wisconsin, Iowa,
Illinois, Texas, South Carolina,
Washington, Oklahoma, Tennessee
Valley, Kansas, Arizona, New Mex
leo and Utah.

breeze but Gunder is a loyal Amer
lean and substituted Old Glory up
on his arrival in Sank Centre. A
sister also presented him with the
official Coat OF Arms Of Norway
magnificently worked on a piece of
cloth about yard square. Both are
a splendid piece of workmanship
and are naturally highly priced by
the owner.
