lines which have been constructed
to date, and additional power lines
are being built as rapidly as surveys
are completed and allOtsments ap-
proved by the Rural Electrification

of about $3.50 acres, or one square
inch in the picture equals about ten
acres. There were about 252 pie
lures taken of this county, showing
every acre of land and every body

The manner in which these pic
lures are being used, by the AAA
here in the county is to find out the
exact acreage Of each farm and the
acreage of each individual field on
the farm. This work is done in the
county agricultural agents Office at
Georgetown by means of a plani-
meier and 1t requires only a few
minutes to determine the acreage Of
every farm and which is as aeeu-
rate as it is possible to make it.
The local AAA supervisors then
take these pictures out to the farms
and eheckSup on the farmers plans.
From these reports, the county as
sociation allots the acreage a farmer
may plant in certain crops, If he
wishes to comply with the AAA pro-
gram and share in the benefits
cash at the end of the season for
staying within his limit and doing
certain things to improve the soil.
The air pictures are used again by
the supervisors to determine whe-
ther the farmer is fulfilling his
agreement with the AAA.
Valuable as these pictures are in
the AAA program, they are just as
valuable for many other purposes,
such as the plotting of new roads.
