Holmes Farmers
Get S23O,345.O2
SOIL CONSERVATION
PLAN PROGRESSES

County agent T. NJ. Williams
announced today that soil onsor
and soil building payments
'totaling $23O,345.O2 had been
made to 4730 farmers Of Holmes
county under the 1886 agricultur-
al conservation program.
The payments show how extern
the farmers of the county
have participated in the Govern
program as well as the
far-reaching effort of the Federal
government to assist them in adj
Justing crop production to actual
needs and in conserving the fer
of their soils in the interest
of the national welfare.
Payments under last years
program have been practically
completed, County Agent Will
Jams said. He revealed that during
the past four years the farmers of
Holmes county have received the
impressive sum of 1889, 1888
for carrying out a better balanced
system of farming and saving
soil fertility.
Cooperating farmers, the county
agent pointed out, have planted a
larger acreage to soil conserving
and soil improving crops, they
have produced more of the food
and feed needed on the farm,
they have received a higher price
for the cotton and cotton seed
they produced for sale and they
have made more money and en-
joyed a better living.
What the program has meant
to the state is revealed in a sum-
mary report from T. M. Patterson
administrative officer in charge,
AAA, Jackson. He said payments
totaling $40, sos had been
made to 255,415 producers in Mis-
sissippi under the 1886 program
through Monday. Since the AAA
program was started in 1893, the
producers of the state have re-
ceived a total of $63, 629, 822 IN
benefit payments, he reported.
