McCormick Farmers Encouraged In Soil Building In 1939 By A. A. A. Programs Farming operations for 1939 should be planned to take full ad vantage of the assistance offered by the farm program for soil building practices. In 1938, Mc Cormick County farmers failed to earn several thousand dollars in soil-building payments which was available to them. This money will be returned to the U. S. Treasury. Every farmer should plan now to earn his maximum soil-building allowance in 1939. Now is the time to decide which practices you want to use this year to conserve and improve your soil. There are probably several things you have been considering for building up your farm but up to this time your finances may not have permitted you to put those practices in operation. The AAA program is your opportunity. A sum of money is made available for each farm uiyler this program, for assistance to cover part of the cost of carrying out the approved practices.. Maybe you have been wanting to protect with a stand of trees a piece of your farm that is being badly damaged by erosion but have not felt that you could spare the money for the necessary seed- Ungs. Under ,the soil-building feature of the program, assistance toward carrying out this practice will be allowed you at the rate of $7.50 per acre, up to the amount available for your farm. Assis tance for other practices, such as terracing, liming, seeding legumes, green-manure crops turned under, contour listing, strip-cropping, and establishing pastures, is al lowed at comparable rates.

A. A. The following letter has been received by McCormick County farmers: “Grants of Aid” will be supplied to farmers who cooperate in the 1939 Agricultural Conservation Program. “These grants will be the fol lowing commodities charged to you at the indicated prices de livered to any point in McCormick County in carload lots: “Dolomitic Limestone—$2.50 per ton. (Will come loose in open top cars). “Triple Superphosphate—$36.00 per ton (sacked). (2 1-2'times as strong as 16% acid). “Winter Legyme Seed—PTices not available until this summer. “Farmers accepting these grants will not have to pay a cent now, but will have their cost deducted from the payments earned in 1939 which will probably be paid in .the spring of 1940. “Yoti can figure what you may get as a “grant of aid” by sub tracting your 1939 cotton allot ment from your 1938 tilled acre age (shown on your “Notice of 1939 Cotton Allotment” card) and multiply the result by 70 cents. This is your 1939 soil-building^ maximum allowance. You can receive as a grant of aid only 80%- of your 1939 soil-building maxi mum allowance. By dividing the price of the limestone or triple superphosphate into 80% of your 1939 soil-building maximum al lowance you can determine how many tons of limestone or triple superphosphate you can receive as a “grant of aid”. Farmers not being able to receive a carload can form a cooperative shipment with other fanners. “Most of our lands need lime and phosphates, and I feel that this is the best opportunity the farmer has had to build up his soils under the A.A.A. Program. “If you care to receive either score of 38-18.
