This week a farm er came to the county agent’s of fice for this blank He has been losing this money for many months by not applying By C. B. CANNON, County Ayenl COUNTY AGENT ISM Soil Bank The 1956 acreage reserve pro gram, known as the soil bank, was explained at a meeting in Columbia June 20, attended by representatives of Clemson col lege extension service, Soil Con servation service, and the ASC service. The instructions for the program are only for the remain der of the year 1956. The purpose of the acreage re- service program is to assist farm ers to divert a portion of their crop land from the production of excessive supplies of agricultural commodities by compensating them for reducing their acreage below their farm acreage allot ment, which in this county would be cotton and wheat. The soil bank was passed by Congress and signed by the president of the United States May 26 and it became effective May 2B. No person shall be eligible for compensation under the acreage reserve program with respect to any farm on which the acreage of cotton exceeds his 1956 farm ac reage allotment. Also the acreage of wheat in case a farm has an al lotment or not exceeding 15 acres whichever is the largest. If a farmer plants more than his allotment (tha tis, cotton and wheat) he is not eligible to par ticipate in the acreage reserve program, unless he is in compli ance on both acreage allotments. However, if a farmer has two separate farms (work sheets) he may comply on one farni by stay ing within his acreag^allotment, and exceed his acreage allotment on the other, and participate in the acreage reserve program on the farm on which he stayed within his acreage allotment. It is called to your, attention that the farmer who wishes to receive support price must com ply with acreage allotment, par ticularly cotton and wheat on all farms. In other words, the ac reage reserve program is one pro gram and the support price is another program. Farmers will be required to file application with the ASC office to participate in the acreage re serve program, and these appli cations must be filed not later than July 20. The farmer must designate, which the ASC field man will re cord on a map, the acreage of land a fanner wishes to put in the acreage reserve program on which he will receive payment. This acreage reserve may be left idle or put into close growing crops. However, they may not be grazed or harvested in any form. Any farmer wishing to destroy cotton and take part in the acreage reserve program by reducing his acreage, must de stroy the crop by July 31. Acreages put into acreage re serve program connot receive a soil building practice payment under the present program in addition to the acreage reserve program. In other words ,the farmer jnay get payment only once on th eac- reage reserve program. Farmers with new cotton allot ments cannot participate in the acreage reserve program by de stroying their cotton. A minimum of ten per cent of allotted acres, or five acres, whichever is the largest, is the maximum and minimum to be put into the acreage reserve pro gram. Fanners participating in the acreage reserve program re tain their present cotton acre age allotment for 1956. On the farms where share croppers are interested in the ac reage allotment, no schemes or devices, to defeat the purposes of agreement,^ will be permitted. In other words, no persqn entering ipto art 'agreement shall use schemes or devices whatsoever that would tend to defeat the purpose of the program. If a farmer ^rks croppers, the acre age reserve program benefits are to be divided among the land lord and croppers in proportion to the division of the crop. As to. the payment to be re ceived, In some cases the field representative will use estimates as to the 1956 production of cot ton, and in other cases the nor mal yield will be taken ' under consideration for the farm. Cot ton acreage, on which a poor stand has been obtained, if di verted to the acreage reserve pro gram will not be valued over $6 00 per acre. The value of 15 cents per pound of lint cotton times the accepted yield on the acreage reserve will be the value per acre the afrmer will receive In other words, ft an estimated yield of 300 pounds of lint cot ton is agreed upon, the farmer will receive $45.00. Lower yields would be less money per acre and high yields would be more money per acre. The ASC office will have the proper forms in the near future and further information will be given when the forms ar avail able. 4-H Boys On Judging Toam R. J.
