attack in conserving the lands in
the community. Selections were
made at a recent meeting attended
by AAA county and community
committeeman, and Maurice K

How to cooperate: D Review

be carried out this year. Of ten

or vice VerSa.) (2) Be sure a farm
plan, which is the request for coun-
ty committee approval of specific
practices, is completed and signed
by April l. These farm plans may
be signed at the county office or at
local community sign-up meetings
which will be announced. Formerly
farm plans were presented to pro-
ducers at their home by community
committeeman. Because of budget
ary limitations this services has
been eliminated.
Extent of assistance: The county
has limited funds to use for this
purpose, so it is impossible to give
all farmers all the assistance they
desire. Therefore, community and
county committeeman will review
and consider each farm plan in rela-
ton to conservation needs of all
farms in the county. This means
that some farm plans may be modi-
fled or changed. On this basis each
producer will be given special notice
of practices approved and the total
minimum payment for the farm.
This payment can be earned by
carrying out sufficient units of ap~
proved practices Cat rates specified)
to equal indicated minimum pay
ment
Credit will not be given for units
of practices in excess of those ap-
proved or for completing practices
not approved. Payments over and
above minimum assistance indicated
on such notices will be made to CO.
operators for carrying out approved
practices in excess of minimum re-
quirements provided any surplus of
funds remains at the close of the
