ment calling regional meetings o1
farmers at Memphis, Chicago. New
York City and Salt Lake City to dis
cuss details Of the $500, ,000, 900 pro-
gram to retire crop land for soil con-
servation.
The Memphis and Chicago meeting.
have been scheduled tentatively to
begin next Thursday and continue

week. Fl
First Disclosure TO Farmers.
officials said agreement has been
reached on many Of the major de-
tails, but added that the first official
disclosure Of how the program will
operate will be made to farmers them
selves at the regional meetings.
One conclusion appeared certain
that the new program will provide SUBJ
sides for a considerably greater mum.
Der of individuals than did the A. A. A..
but that the average of payments
will be somewhat smaller.
It was emphasized that the program
must be general In scope, and that
every farmer who wishes to do 50
may become eligible for the pay
ments.
Several privately raised the posi-
bihty Of organizing voluntary pro-
ducer cooperative associations to Oh
tain production control.
Co-operatives Would Aid.
One oficial explained that cotton
farmers, for example, might organ
tze their own association, entirely apart
from Government connection, in an
effort to control the size of the crop,
Such action. it was said, would be
completely supplementary to the Gov
ernment's soil conservation efforts,
Among the topics to be presented to
the farmers at the regional meetings
will be the amounts and methods OF
payment, specific conditions farmers
must meet to become eligible for pay
ments. and the organization of pro-
ducer committees which are to con-
duct the program in the field.
It was indicated that eventually q
survey may have to be made for every
farm in the United States.
The greatest activity in shifting
lands from commercial to soil -consery-
ing crops this year is expected in the
cotton belt. There. an official said,
the A. A. A. may seek diversion Of a
minimum of Is million acres.
Cotton was described by one offi-
cial as the only major crop where
there is q dangerous surplus this
year.
