seed and fertilizer. Under the ACP
farmers receive a statewide aver
age Of S23 80 per acre in carrying
out this practice. Morris said the
payment ran little higher on the
average in Prince Edward county.
For instance. the Prince Edward
committee pays 81 AS per ton for
lime based on the amount needed
as indicated by soil test 1t pays
$3.50 per cwt. for fertilizer and
So so per acre for seed bed prepare
ton.
The second most popular practice
in Prince Edward county is B1, or
improving permanent cover. 7 h e
average cost Of improving vegeta-
tive cover. including lime and fertil-
izer. is $40 to SIS per acre. Virginia
farmers received an average of
$3.50 per acre for this ACP practice,
which is about correct for Prince
Edward farmers.
The value of earning Of the prac-
ticas completed and reported to
date in Prince Edward county
is S2a .065.7l approximately $4,000
have been paid on these completed
practices, and Morris said the rest
VIII be paid in early August or as
soon as the complete reports are
proccssed.
The various projects are approved
by the county committee early in
the year. Then the projects must
be completed as approved. and
several state and federal groups as
sist in checking these practices H.
f. Lacy. Soil Conservationist,

try Service checks the forestry prac-
tees, and ASC personnel check the
remainder
Morris said the county committee

tee are Thomas c. Xix, Prospect,
