inch to nearly an inch long. Only

Methods of control suggested in

spray: keeping cattle and other
livestock indoors in dark stall
during the day will also helT

Allen County ASC
Chairman Explains
Soil Bank Base

The soil bank base to be establish
ed for farms in the 1856 acreage re-
serve program is an attempt to pre-
vent surpluses through limited acre
age, county ASC chairman Wilbur
Bunke explained recently. Farmers
must agree to limit their harvest of
base crops, he said. Besides in
cluding such basic crops as wheat
and corn the base crops include
grains, sugar beets, oilseeds, potatoes,
commercial vegetables, canning peas
and beans and grasses cut for seed.
Hay crops are not included.
The county ASC committee will
establish a soil bank based on aver
age of land devoted to these base
crops in 1856 and 1857. Permitted
acreage will be determined by sub
tracing acres in the acreage reserve
and the conservation reserve from
the total in the soil bank base.
Harvesting above the total acreage
will mean loss of acreage reserve
payments.
Wheat farmers have until October 4
to decide whether they will partici,
pate in the 1858 winter wheat acreage
reserve program. Their soil bank
base will be determined by the pas
production history of the farm ano
growers are asked to bring necessar,
information when they contact thu
county office.
Payments under the 1858 program
will be based on an average count.
rate of$32.74 per acre, adjusted TO
individual farms. Relative productiv
ity will be the basis for the judging.
