Giant strides are being made
in the production of soybeans
as cash crop for Mississippi.
In 1910, there were only
$4,000 acres planted in soy
beans, with the yield being
only 10 bushels per acre. BY
1859, the total acreage had
jumped to $4,000 acres, and
the average yield per acre to
"a bushels.
The cash value Of the crop
20 years ago was only $4,000.
The 1859 soybean crop brought
a total of $37, 100000 to Missis-

No Additional

Reynolds Says

There will be no signup of
additional land or contracts I'M
der the Soil Bank Conservation
Reserve this fall William H.
Reynolds, chairman, Delaware
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Committee, said
today in response to inquiries
from farmers regarding the stat
us of the program.
Mr.. Reynolds also said that
program contracts which expire
in 1860 or later are no longer
eligible to be extended for an
additional period of years.
'Under the Soil Bank Act en-
acted in May of 1885," MIR. Rey-
nolds explained, "the Secretary
of Agriculture was authorized to
enter into Conservation Reserve
contracts with producers during
the five-year period l956-60.
1.-THE signup under the 1860
program was held last fall, so
that farmers would know in adj
vance of the cropping season
whether their land would be ac-
cepted into the Conservation Re-
serve. Since the authorization to
enter into new contracts has not
been extended beyond 1860,
there will be no signup this fall.
Farmers should understand,
however, that the existing con-
tracts for 1860 and previous
years will remain in effect and
payments will continue to be
made under them for the period
of the contracts and in accord
ance with contract terms. The
annual Department of Agricul-
ture appropriation bills provide
money with which to meet OBJ
| legations already on the books. F"
There are 284 Conservation
Reserve contracts in effect this
year in Delaware, involving a

Price
Support at $l.8O

The price of l960-crop soy
beans will be supported at $l.80
per bushel in Kent County,
Chairman R. H. Wilson of the
Kent County Agricultural Stabil-
ization and Conservation Com
mittee announced today. The
local rate is based on a national
average support price of $l.85
per bushel, the same as the rate
for 1859.
Soybean price support will be
c arried out as in the past
through loans on farm and
warehouse-stored soybeans and
through purchase agreements.
Minimum requirements for sup
port eligibility correspond to re-
quirements for No. 4 soybeans,
except for moisture content,
which cannot be more than la
percent. To be eligible for sup
port under the 1860 operation,
soybeans must be produced in
1860.
Loans and purchase agree
ments will be available from
harvest through January 81,
1861. Loans will mature May 81
1861.
