Greene, Chairman for Barn well County, Makes Report of Funds Collected. Committeemen are at their head quarters at the different places in the county helping farmers to make up their work sheets under the Soil Con servation Program. These men will keep the headquarters open this and next week for this purpose and farm ers are urged to get their work sheets prepared. Farmerg who divert some cf their base acreage of cotton or peanuts will have no trouble to qualify if they plant plenty of pea s or beans in com, follow ing grain and in the middles of their truck crops. For additional payments for soil building, acres must be planted into such crops ag peas and beans and the vines left to be turned under. From general information it appear s that most farmers plan to enter into the program this season. „ Several hundred farmers have not yet applied for subsidy payment on last year’s cottcn, says County Agent H. G. Boylston. Farmers ck> not have to agree to enter into this year’s pro gram to apply for the payment. If applications are not made by May 15 much delay will be experienced in get ting the payment.
