Conservation Plan
Is Explained By
Our County Agent
New Program Provides For
Payments To Rebuild
Fertility OF Soil

Through series of meetings just
completed, farmers have been told
how they can cooperate under the
Soil Conservation Program. These
meetings were attended by both
County Agricultural Agent, o. w.
Anderson and ]. w. Jones, President
of the Montgomery County Farm
Bureau and member of the Maryland
Soil Conservation Board. Mr.. Ander-
son says:
"The new Program provides for
payments where farmers divert acre
age from soil depicting crops to crops
which conserve or actually rebuild
the fertility of the soil. Payments
will also be made not to exceed $1.00
per acre on such acreage as are oc-
cupied in 1886 by soil conserving
crops such as ordinary hays, rotation
pasture, etc. However, these payments
must be earned by an effort on the
part of the farmer to improve the
soil on his farm by seeding clover,
alfalfa, lespedeza, the application of
acid phosphate or potash, by lining or
turning under green manure crops.
GAS compared with the old AAA
Program, the payments per farm will
amount to approximately the same as
where the farms were signed up un-
der the old Corn-Hog and Wheat Con-
tracts, and somewhat more than
where the farm was only signed up
under one program.
"There are no contracts connected
with the Soil Conservation Program.
The farmer simply makes out a work
sheet stating what acreages were har-
vested from various crops in 1885 and
later in the summer, if he thinks he
has complied for payments, he will
make application for them. After the
application has been made the County
Committee will check up to see
whether said payments are justifable
and to what extent. If by this means
IL is determined that the farmer has
improved the soil on his farm, the
payments will be made accordingly"

TRADE EXPECTED
TO SET NEW PEAK
Spring Volume to Exceed
Easter Level, According
to Dun & BradStreet.
6y the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April "a. "A rising
volume Of retail trade to a peak higher
than Easter was forecast today by
Dun & Bradstreet's weekly trade re-
view.
"Shunting the expected recession in
the wake Of the Easter sales period,
the encouraging recovery of consumer
demand during the week provided evi-
dence that the Spring volume has yet
to reach its peak" it was stated.
"The rise in retail distribution was
in close alignment with the extension
of the upward trend in wholesale buy
ing, which was carried close to the
best weekly record of the year, as the
acquisition of Summer goods gained
momentum and recorders spread to
more diversified items.
Easter Is Only Start.
Instead Of bringing the Spring
buying period to a peak, Easter ap-
parently marked the Inauguration of
a prolonged season. Except on the
days when cold weather exercised a
restraining influence, there was a
sharp rebound in sales of women's
coats, suits, dresses and shoes"
All cities reported retail sales
larger than for the week preceding, it
was found. When compared with
the corresponding period of 1885,
which was the Easter week, the
estimated gain for the country, as a
whole, ranged from to Is per cent"
the report showed
Wholesale Trade Brisk.
Continuing the rise that started
during the week preceding, buying in
many of the wholesale markets
reached the best volume for the year.
With preparations based on the like
lihood Of but slight shrinkage in re-
tail distribution during the Summer
due to the payment of the
veterans bonus and the widening Of
industrial operations, merchants have
enlarged their budgets for second and
third quarter commitments.

year. he said.
Pointing to this sections gains in
soybean acreage from 100000 in 1922
70 5,500000 last year. Bradley said
the rapid gain indicated that it was
destined to become a major crop"
While it had been used as a food in
the Orient for 5000 years, the gain in
acreage in America was largely due to
the demand from byproductS pro-
CeSSorS.
Buyers included 20 mills making
food products and Is making soybean
flour" he stated But so factories
making such a variety of goods as
paints, CLUES, varnishes and linoleums
