FARMERS ARE
INTERESTED IN
SOIL CONSERV.
More Than $50 Farmers Have
Prepared Work Sheets
At Present Time
JUNE Is FINAL DATE TO
RECEIVE APPLICATIONS

The farmers of Somerset County are
showing considerable interest in the
soil conservation program, as prac-
tically every farmer is eligible to par
ticipate in the soil-improving program
provided they do not have as many
acres in the soil depicting crops this
wear as they did in 1885.
In other words farmers who were
unable to plant their usual acreage OF
corn, tomatoes, potatoes and other
truck crops this spring, will probably
have made more than the Is per cent
reduction which is required under the
program.
At this time more than $50 farmers
have prepared the work sheets at the
series of community meetings and at
the office Of the County Agent during
the past week. 1t is expected that
several hundred additional farmers
will file their work sheets before the
final date to receive the applications
on June 18th.
Farmers are required to file their
work sheets in order to be eligible for
the benefit payments, which Will
amount to $1,000 an acre on the 10
per cent of the soil depicting base
which is seeded to soil conserving
crops as sudan, millet, soybeans and
cowpeas for turning under as green
manure crops.
A recent ruling just received by
County Agent C.. 2. Keller PERMITS
the clover seeded in wheat this Spring
to be considered as soil conserving
acreage towards the $1,000 payment.
Under this ruling the wheat growers
who have seeded clover will receive
credit for one half their wheat acreage
towards the above payment.
In addition there is a second pay
ment of $1.O0 an acre for carrying out
certain soil building practices as the
turning under of rye or scarlet clover
this spring.
Some farmers may suffer a partial
crop failure this summer and may be
unable to harvest their normal acreage
of soil depicting crops.
The program may be looked upon as
a crop insurance measure as benefit
payments will be received by those
farmers who file their work sheets
and have the necessary soil conserving
acreage on their farms this year.!
Work sheets can be prepared at the
office of the county agent until the
closing date. There will be no addi-
tional community meetings held and
il is not planned to have Community
Committeeman visit the farms in the
several districts for the purpose of pre-
pairing the papers.
Farmers interested in the program
should not neglect to file their papers
by June the 18th, as it may be found
to be advisable and good business, es-
pecially if the drought continues and
the acreage of the several crops is
curtailed.

"Chirps'' ~

Well, Sir, if things don't get any
better soon, l think I'll go into the
empty tin can business. l belleve
there's something in 'em. That doesn't
sound exactly right, tho, does II!
Just how something can be in an emp
ty tin can is rather intriguing.
But you people know what mean
The empty tin can seems to have come
into it's own. I took little trip up
the Shore on Monday, and never saw
so many empty tin cans before IN my
life. Maybe that was because hereto
fore they had been hiding their llgnt
under a bushel. Now they're being
inverted and stuck up on top OF a bean
pole where they CLINT and glow IN all
their prestine glory. They seem 70 oe
rejoicing in their elevation from the
ash heap and garbage can to the posi-
ton of pole sitters, where they couio
see the Suns rays, and be freed from
noxious weeds and odors.
You know. think they looked real
ornamental, and I was wondering II
they could, by any possibility, turn TO
music in their new sphere of useful
ness and beauty. I know I felt like
getting out of my flivver, going over
in the field, walking down the pole
rows. and striking each one with a
hammer to see if they would emit any
sort of note; and, maybe, according to
the different diameters and lengths, !
could find a gamut which could really
play a tune. / couldn't help but think
of the old time Swiss Bell Players.
Of course. there's some difference, but
rhetoricians tell US there is a resem-
blance by contrast..The only trouble
about playing tune would be that
the performer might be compelled to
"kivver" just little bit too much
territory. He might grow little leg
weary striking edo" and darting down
to the end of line to hit "si". = i
But they tell me these empty tin
cans have their use. They are up
tilted on the end Of bean poles to at
tract the attention of bean beetles.
Now, if said beetle got it into his head
that the tin can furnished better for
aging than the juicy vine, seems to
me he'd soon find out his mistake. II
said beetle has. wings, seems to me
that same tin can would furnish him
a good landing place, similar to these
landing towers for the big gas bags.
If said beetle comes out of the gorund,
/ can't see why he should go nosing
up that pole to investigate its final
crnamentation. 1t might be that, if
the voracious insect does fly to its
prey it might light on the once tomato
holder, attempt to crawl down the
side, fall off, and break it's neck.
If don't get this thing explained
to me pretty soon may be compelled
to write to that Washington State
Representative. Marion Zioncheck and
ask him if he doesn't want a room
mate. That beetle question will make
me bug-house, sure enough. Well,
they give the tourist something to
talk about. and add most enhancing
view to the landscape-or don't they?
