AAA news

Mr.. e. r. Trotman, Secretary OF
the Holmes County Agricultural
Conservation Committee, reminded
farmers of the county that Tuesday,
January is, l946, is the final date
for reporting performance under the
l945 Agricultural Conservation Pro-
gram.
Under provisions of the program,
farmers who expect to receive as
sistance payments under the l945
farm program must file reports OF
performance by January Is in order
to be eligible for such assistance.
Performance reports can be made at
the county AAA Office.
Now that the war is over, the AAA
farm program is once more empha-
sizing longtime conservation meas
ures, Mr.. Trotman said today.
"As long as we had to keep food
moving to war fronts, we had to do
everything we could to increase
yields and total crop production, no
matter what the cost, Mr.. Trotman
explained. "Now we have to start
puptting back the soil fertility we
used to help win the war;"
The l946 AAA Program should be
big help to farmers in converting
their farms to peacetime production.
Money authorized by Congress for
the program has been allocated to
counties. AS far as possible, it will
be spent in obtaining the soil i'm
provements needed on individual
farms.
Because the main consideration in
developing 1946 farm plans will be
the conservation needs of each farm,
more farmers are expected to coop
crate this year. At the same time,
farmers will be asked to pay a lar
ger percentage of the cost of carry
ing out practices, so conservation
assistance under the program can
be extended to more farms. AAA
Committees will be responsible for
getting as much conservation as they
can for the money allocated to the
county.
Each farmer will be able to 60
over his plans in the AAA Office,
and pick out approved practices for
his farm. In order to keep close
check on practices, the county COM
mittee is requiring farmers who wish
AAA assistance to get approval in
advance Of carrying out practices.
The Committees elected to serve
for 1916 are as follows:
Regular Members of the County
Committee:
Charlie L. Downer, Hugh l..
Nichols, Henri P. Watson.
