Improvement In
Program Made

An important improvement in
the Agricultural Conservation
Program, effective in 1941, has
been announced by G. T. Scott,
Johnston County farmer and
chairman of the State AAA Com
mittee. It provides for more en-
phasis on the conservation phases
Of the program, makes the AAA
program more adaptable to all
farms in the State, encourages
the production of food and feed
crops, and should greatly reduce
the cost of compliance.
General soil-depleting al1ot-
ments will be discontinued with
the 1941 program and payments
will be based upon the amount of
soil-building accomplished" Mr..
Scott stated. 'The farmer who
earns all soil-building units will
earn his maximum payments for
planting within special allot-
ments, such as tobacco, cotton,
peanuts and commercial wheat
potatoes, and vegetables in desig-
mated countless"
AS an example Of how the new
plan works, Scott said: Suppose
Farmer Jones had set up for his
farm a total farm payment OF
500, made up of $50 for planting
within special crop allotments
and $50 to be earned for carry
ing out practices, such as seed
ing legumes and grasses, winter
cover crops and green manure
crops, terracing, contour strip
cropping, forestry practices, home
gardening, application of lining
materials, and the like.
IF farmer Jones only carries
out enough soil-building practices
to earn $40 of his soil-building
allowance, then he would only
get $40 of his special allotment
payments, giving Farmer Jones a

ct don't wonder. It's beautiful"
Vic looked about soberly, then
down at Audrey. I'm in love
with you, little Audrey Swan,
Deeply and truly. And there it
is"
Until this sunny Sunday after
noon, no man had ever told Au-
drey Swan that he loved her.
In the manner of every normal
young woman she had dreamed
her dreams in solitude, dreams
unknowingly influenced by ro-
mantle stories and pictures. If
they awakened no perceptible
longing for love they did bring a
knowledge of the thrill that must
come when the words were spok-
en- softly by the man to whom
she was ready to give her heart.
ct love you, little Audrey
Swan" No one could have ut
tered those words with quieter
sincerity than Vic. Yet there was
no thrill, no particular sensation
of amazement or resentment. In
stead, a little feeling of pity. 1t
might be akin to love, but 1t
wasn't love.
'sWhy did your" was her low
question. ooh, why?"
Vic's smile was pathetically
twisted, but Audrey was looking
down itno the water and did not
see. There was no smile in his
voice or eyes.
81 guess I had to, Audrey.
Would I ever have a chance?"
81 can't tell you, Vic. It's be-
cause 1 don't know. Honestly.
"And that's fair enough"
There was nothing to cry
about, but Audrey felt perilous-
lv close to tears. There was some
thing pathetic in Vic's acceptance
of things. eff I behave nicely"
he asked, "can we keep on being
friends?"
ooh, of course, Vic! Your
friendship does mean lot to me-
Really it does. I want it to 60
on"
"Then everything's all right
with the world. Well omit all this
from the record and start where
we left off. o. K.?"
cts bargain"
Vic's principal reaction to his
visit at the Swans was a suspl-
cion that he probably had made a
first class fool Of himself and des-
troyed any possibility of future
happiness by being so precipl-

final total payment of $50 instead
of $500. That's because he earned
only 80 per cent of his soil-build-
ing goal. OF course, if he carried
out enough practices to earn his
entire $50 in soil-buildirg allow
ance, he would receive his full
$50 for planting within special
crop allotments."

Austin's Herd OF
ShOrthOrns Make
Production High

The gentle red, white and roam
Milking Shorthorn cows on the
farm of w. B. Austin, Laurel
Springs, have lived up well to
all that MIR. Austin expected of
them. Ever since last May his
herd of II Shorthorns have led
all the dairy herds in Catawba
and Ashe counties, N. c., in eco
nomy of production, it is an
nounced.
In May the Austin herd ranked
second in milk production, fifth
in butterfat; in June it was first
in milk, third in butterfat; in
July, the last month for which
records are available at present,
it was first again in milk and
second in butterfat. For June, in
fact, only four herds in the en-
tire state had a better record than
Austin's Shorthorns.
But of particular significance
for the average farmer, thinks
Mr.. Austin, is the fact that none
of the competing breeds in the
Catawba-Ashe Cow Testing Asso-
citation have come even close to
the exceptionally low cost Of pro-
duction enjoyed by these big,
easy-fleshed farmer cows.
The records of the Testing AS
ISOLATION show that for May, June
and July, Mr.. Austin's herd pro-
duced butterfat at a cost of 1876
