Orchard Laud
Is Included In
Soils Program
Fruit growers will be able to earn
payments under the agricultural
conservation program, according to
R. D. Suber, acting county agent.
Land devoted to orchards, vine
yards, small fruits, and nut trees
is included as cropland under the
provisions of the program.
If such land is clean cultivated,
it is classified as neutral. If it was
used in 1935 to produce an inter-
planted soil-depleting crop, the ac
tual acreage so used is classified
as soil-depleting. If it is inter-
planted with a soil-conservingr
crop, the actual acreage so used
is classified as soil-conserving.
The provisions governing rates
of payment and requirements for
qualification for payment are the
same on the interplanted part of
all land -devoted to orchards, vine
yards, small fruits, and nut trees
as on other cropland.
