There are two kinds of payments: first, the soil conserving payment, which we might term under the old contract the rental payment, which is paid on the acreage taken out of cot ton production not to exceed 35 per cent of the base cotton acres. 'Hie second payment is what is termed soil building payment. The soil build ing payment is the amount of money that is allowed for that farm for soil building or soil building practice methods. This farm allowance for soil building payment is arrived at by multiplying $1.00 per acre times each acre of le^mes that are not inter cropped with corn and where corn is planted intercropped with peas two acres must be counted as one. A farmer to earn this soil building pay ment must turn under or leave on the soil his legumes up to the amount of the farm allowance. described above. A farmer may cut his, pea vines and still receive his large pay ment known as the soil conserving payment and termed under last year’s contract “the big rental payment,” but will not receive the soil building payment if- he cuts<hls pea vines off. In case he cuts his peiT'v'ines off for hay he still-will be permitted to earn hi.s soil building payment by substi tuting soil building-^ractice- and that is terracing his farm lands according^to government^ specifica tion to the amount not exceeding his farm allowance for soil, building pay ment. Lespedeza may be cut for hay and receive the ^ame payment as if it were all left on the soil, this being a crop in a special classification.
