TUESDAY, 18TH
DAY FOR FARMERS
APPLICATIONS

The Year 1941

This coming Tuesday, April 18th,
is the final day that the Somerset
County farmers will have an oppor-
tunity to sign their farm plans in or
der to participate in the soil conser-

The farm plan shows the vegetable,
wheat or potato allotments for the
farm, the number of units of prac-
tees that are necessary to earn the
full soil building allowance and the
maximum payment which is possible
for the farm.
Unless a farm plan is filed in the
office of the County Agent, at Prin-
cess Anne, at the close of business on
Tuesday, the farm will not be check
ed for compliance later in the season
and the farm will not be eligible for
a benefit payment check. This regu-
lation applies to those farmers who
were enrolled in the program in prev
ious years as we'll as for farmers
who wish to participate for the first
time in the program this year.
Last year 657 applications were
submitted for payment, amounting
to about $4,000. In addition 1853
farmers obtained 461 tons Of lime as
a grant of aid under the soil conser-
walton program.
It is expected that the usual num-
Der of farmers will again participate
in the program this year, besides a
number of new farms have been list
ed.
County Agent c. 2. Keller urges
all farmers to act promptly to sign
their farm plans on or before next
Tuesday as under the regulations no
farms can be listed after the 18th of

commissioners at the morning session
that they lacked unity of purpose.
He pointed out that an effort made
in the recent session of the Legisla-
ture to reduce the cities share of gas
tax funds, if successful, would have
c.;x,oxo III ,,;xo Eoe+ar,o Chow oo,,~,
ties an additional million dollars for
highway construction and mainte-
nance for the year.
Senator Davis predicted the cities
would increase their percentage of
the gas tax fund even above the pres
