Deadline Near
For Soil Bank
Wheat Sign-up
George c. Simpson Says
September Fl Final
Date To Contact COun-
ty ASC Offices.

Deadline date for Delaware
farmers to sign up for the govern
ment's acreage reserve program
for their 1857 wheat crop is close
at hand says George c. Simpson,
Chairman on the Delaware Agricul-
tllral Stabilization and Conserva-
tion Committee. Growers OF win
ter wheat who wish to take part
in this part of the government soil
bank program should call at their
county ASC office no later than
Friday, September 21 and sign an
agreement.
The Soil Bank legislation passed
by Congress last spring authorizes
an acreage reserve program for
basic crops over a 4-year period
from 1856 through 1859, Simpson
pointed out. However. each par
ticular acreage agreement a farm
err signs is good for only one par
ticular crop during one year.
Chairman Simpson explains that
the whole purpose of the Soil
Banks wheat acreage reserve is
to help farmers further cut the
acreage of wheat below acreage
allotments and thereby reduce a
too-great supply of the crop. Land
which is set i'm reserve under this
plan may not be cropped or graz
ed for the one-year period of the
contract. In return for putting
part of his land into this acreage
reserve, each farmer receives a
