FARMERS ARE
REMINDED OF
CLOSING DATE
Somerset Farmers Informed OF
Date For Carrying Out Soil
Building Practices

C. 2. Keller, County Agent, reminds
Somerset County farmers that Oc-
tober 81 is the closing date for car
rying out soil-building practices un-
der the 1889 Agricultural Conserva-
ton program.
This means that credit will not be
allowed under this years program fol
practices carried out after 81, he ex-
planned.
According to preliminary reports,
outstanding progress has been made
by Somerset county farmers taking
part in the program in carrying out
soil-building practices this year. Not
only were there increases in the a.
mounts of practices carried out, but
real progress was made this year In
the kind of practices performed, Mr..
Keller pointed out. Farmers this
year have chosen practices that are
better adapted to their farming set
up and soil needs than ever before.
This has resulted in outstanding a.
chievements in conserving and improv
ing the land.
The carrying out of more desirable
practices resulted in large part from
closer contact of AAA committeeman
and the county office with farmers
through the use of the farm plan"
This personal contact of committee
men and farmers made possible the
working out of a list of soil-building
practices most needed on the farm.
