$40 ACRE WILL Be
PAID IN FARM PLAN
Soil Program Details Are
Given by Wallace.
By United Press

BY Cntted Press
WASHINGTON, March 21.-
Benefit payments averaging $40 an
acre were offered farmers today for
removal of 100000 acres from
intensive cultivation under the new
soil conservation program replacing
the AAA.
Details of the program, an
nounced by Secretary of Agriculture
Henry Wallace, provide expendi-
ture of $40 100000 in conserving
the nations soil fertility this year,
the first of the two-year temporary
program.
Two types of payments are pro-
vided for farmers who cooperate:
/. A soil conserving payment av-
eraging $40 an acre.
2. A soil building payment up to
81 an acre.
For each acre of soi1-depleting
crops which a farmer diverts to
soil conserving he will get an aver
age of SIG an acre up to Is per cent
of the base acreage, computed on
1885 planting.
If that acreage is planted iii
legumes or other soil building crops
which he plows under to build up
soil fertility he will be paid another
81 an acre. The 81 an acre also ap-
plies to pasture land under certain
conditions.
Every farmer will be eligible to
participate in the new program,
whereas the AAA was restricted to
certain crops. AAA officials esti-
mated 80 per cent of farmers would
cooperate.
