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.

County Agent.

McCormick Farmers
Offered Limestone
& Superphosphate
Under A. 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.
