Der of soil-building units it is neces
sary to carry out to earn full pay
ment for the farm.
The soil conservation payment on
cotton will be made at the rate of 2
cents per pound on the 1888 normal
yield on the allotted acres and the
price adjustment payments will be
made at the rate of 16 cents per
pound on the 1899 normal yield on
the allotted acres. The payment for
cotton is figured by multiplying the
payment rate times the normal yield
times h acreage allotment. Payments
on commercial vegetables, where a
farm has a commercial vegetable al
lotment. in Kinds and Copiah coun-
ties only, will be figured at a flat
rate Of $50 per acre Of the allot-
ment.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1939-03-09

To show how the payments are
calculated take the ease of a farm
with 100 acres of cropland, a cotton
allotment Of Is acres, a normal yield
OF $50 pounds of lint cotton per acre,
/ acre of commercial orchard, and
Sc acres Of fenced non-crop open
pasture land.
The conservation payment on this
farm is 2 cents per pound on 1000
pounds c2s x $500, or $40.
The price adjustment payment on
this farm would be 1.6 cents per
pound on 1000 pounds. or SIP.
a part IF the conservation pay
ment of a farm is in the form of
assistance for carrying out soil-build
ing, seeding, legumes, establishing
pasture, planting forest trees, and
IA other practices. Each prac ice Is
measured in units. Construction of
200 linearfeet of terrace counts as
one unit; seeding an acre of lespe-
deza counts as one unit; and plant
Ing an acre of forest trees counts as
five units. The rate of payment or
assistance for carrying out these prac-
tees is $3.50 per unit. This means
a farmer can get soi-building assls
lance at the rate of $1.50 per unit up
TO a given amount, OF maximum, for
his farm. This maximum is figured as
the sum if three items, as follows:
I'd 20 cents per acre for the crop
land on the farm in excess of the
cotton acreage allotment.
90 $3.50 per acre for the CONNER
cial orchards on the farm January
/, 1889.
49, 25 cents per acre for the fenc-
ed non-crop open pasture land in ex
cess of half the %cropland.
In calculating the maximum assis-
lance for s~oil-building practices on
the above farm, the rate of 70 cents
per acre of cropland applies to II
acres acreage of cropland in excess
of cotton allotment: the rate of $1.50
per acre for commercial orchards
applies to 1 acre; and the rate of 25
cents per acre for fenced noS-crop
open pasture land applies to 6 acres
acreage OF pasture in excess OF half
the cropland). To get the maximum
soil-building assistance payment for
the farm, the three items are added
as follows:

he gets only SIS; but if he carries out
as many as S6 units, his payment Is
the maximum amount available fol
his farm, or S53.40.
The total payment on this farm
would be the sum of the cotton pay
ment of $140, the soil-building pay
ment Of $53.40, and the adjustment
of SIP, or $3o5.40.
