to Be Made in New
Conservation Plan
Continued from PAGE II


less of the unit on which payment
is based. however. the average per
acre would be approximately the
same for all crops. On cotton, for
instance. it would be about 50 per
acre, computed by poundage.
In the general program. covering
all soil-depleting crops except the
six specifically exempted. the farm
er's base acreage of soil-depleting
crops will be computed on his 1885
planting of such crops.
Also figuring in computation of
payments will be productivity of the
farmers land. Payments will vary
slightly in the same proportion
which productivity Of the individual
farmers land bears to average pro-
ductivity of all such crop land in the
1858 states.
Definitions Given
Fer each acre Of Soil-depleting
crops which a farmer diverts TO
soil conserving he will get an aver
age of $40 an acre on up to Is per
cent of the base acreage. computed
cn 1885 planting.
If that acreage is planted in
legumes or other soil-building
crops which he ploughs under to
build up soil fertility he will be
paid another 81 an acre. This al
SO applies tC pasture land under
certain conditions.
H. R. Tolley. acting admins
traitor. gave this definition of the
the two types of sell treatment:
"A soil conserving crop is one
that holds the present fertility of
the soil; a sell building crop is one
that adds to the fertility OF the
soil"
A soil conserving crop, it was
explained, for which the farmer
is paid $40 an acre may be turned
under to qualify as a sofl-buildins
crop, adding the extra 81 an acre.
For the purpose Of payment
farmers who apply for payments
will have their crops classified as
Soil-depleting, s0il-conserving and
soil-building.
Base Acreage
A farmer may claim payments
oIlly upon 10 per CSlll Va IIlS DaoC
acreage"-the amount he planted
in soil-depleting crops last year.
Soil depicting crops were defined
as:
Corn, cotton, tobacco, Irish po-
tatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, sugar
cane. sugar beetS. sultivated sun
flowers, commercial truck and
canning crops, melons and straw
berries, peanuts. grain and sweet
sorghums, and small grains in
cluding wheat, oats, barley, rye,
buckwheat, flax, emmer, Speltz and
grain mixtures.
Payments are to be divided be-
tween landlord and tenant where
each shares in the crop or its
proceeds. Administration will be
through state committees, county
and community committees and
the AAA.
Every farmer will be eligible to
participate in the new program.
whereas the AAA was restricted
to certain crops. AAA officials
estimated 80 per cent of farmers
would cooperate.
