Under the present law only the
low land, where flooding and silt
disposal are problems, are includ-
ed. House Bill 220 would bring in
to the consideration, "the water

Soil Bank Action
Is Explained By
University Man

COLUMBUS-(Editor'S note -
This is the first in a series of 4 ar
ticleS in which Wallace Barr, Ohio
State University extension econom-
ist, explains some of the major
provisions of the Soil Banks con-
servation reserve program. Other
articles in the series will follow.
The conservation reserve phase
of the Soil Bank is a long-term
program designed to reduce crop
surpluSes and help farmers eStab-
lish conservation practices on land
normally used for crop production.
The conservation reserve goal for
Ohio is 100000 acres Of cropland.
That's 46 percent of the land nor
mally growing crops for harvest.
If you have eligible land, you
can participate in the conservation
program by signing a contract with
your county ASC committee on or
before April Is. Land eligible for
conservation reserve includes that
which was titled or in regular crop
rotation last year.. or land which
has been seeded in permanent veg
etative cover since 1858 and which
was classified as cropland when
you seeded it.
You can't put the same land in
conservation reserve which is plac-
ed in the acreage reserve, was COW
cred by water prior to the con-
tract, or land planted to small
fruit, nursery stock or orchard
trees or irregular tracts where it is
impractical to determine perform
ance.
The minimum acreage you can
set aside for conservation reserve
on your farm is ) acres, with 2 ex-
ceptions: the minimum is 2 acres
where the entire acreage put in
conservation reserve is planted tc
trees, and / acre on small farms
where the county ASC committee
through approval of the state com
mlttee, determines such action Il
consistent with the purposes of the
program and the total acreage i!
too small to warrant a larger min
imum.
If you participate in the conser
walton reserve program you mus
agree to harvest no crop on desig
mated acres during the period o
the contract, permit no grazing OF
the banked" land, control the
spread of noxious weeds and es
tablish and maintain an approved
cover crop.
You also must comply with youl
allotments on tobacco, corn ant
wheat. You cannot use water fol
irrigation of crops from ponds es
tablished under your conservation

Increased Demand
Is Seen For Food
In Frozen State

COLUMBUS - At present froz-
en- foods comprise about 2 percent
of all grocery sales. It has been
predicted that by 1866 they will
make up 20 percent of the sales,
states Chester Swank, extension
specialist, marketing information
for consumers, The Ohio State IN
iversity.
Production in 1855 was about
Az times the 1916 output. Produc-
tion in all groups of frozen foods
has been increasing, but frozen
orange juice concentrate has ac-
counted for more than half the
growth. Factors which favor a con-
tinuation Of the trend toward in
creased buying of frozen foods are
increased population, higher in
comes, and the demand for con-
venience foods, explains the spe-
cialist.
Prepared frozen foods, now the
fastest growing part Of the indus
try, offer the homemaker the most
built-in services. More than 200 of
these items now are being market
ed French-fried potatoes, poultry
and meat pies, fish sticks and des-
sert pies together account for two
thirds of the total output of pre-
pared frozen foods. Frozen meats
may account for much of the in
crease in the next few years.
What does this mean to the con-
sumer? Frozen foods save time &,
effort in shopping and in the pre-
paration Of meals. This means that
many more tasks will be transfer
red from the home kitchen to the
marketing system. Frozen foods
practically eliminate asonal
peaks of food. This will provide
homemakers with a wider selec-
ton of foods the year round. The
added emphasis on quality i'm
provement of frozen foods will re-
suit in efforts to improve the quail
ity and reduce costs of marketing
food products in fresh, canned and
dehydrated forms, too.
In 1856 consumers bought 2H2
billion dollars worth of froZer
food, according to Swank.
