Grain Crop Under Triple-A Program Seeding small grain as a soil- buiMing practice for 1947, with lib eral cash assistance, has been an nounced by the Agricultural Con servation Program (Triple-A) to encourage the seeding of small grain this fall for soil improve ment and grazing. The practice provides for estab lishing a satisfactory cover of small grain seeded in the fall of 1946 and the growth not harvested for grain or hay. Where the specifications are met, a payment of three cents per pound, not to exceed $4.00 per acre, wil be made in 1947 for the seeding of either of the following: oats, barley, wheat or rye. The specifications provide that the land should be covered with a uniform stand of one of the above grains with a growth from which a reasonable tonnage of forage could be harvested. The grain may be grown in con nection with winter legumes. The crops may be grazed, provided a satisfactory cover is left on the land or turned under. The grain cannot be cut for hay or seed. “This is the most liberal small grain cover crop practice ever of fered the farmers of South Carolina by the Triple-A,” says J. M. Napier, Clemson extension-A A A agent. “This practice is worthy of the consideration of any farmer who is interested in soil improvement and winter grazing. ‘The practice is well adapted to fit into the plans of small farmers, as well as large ones, who feel that they have difficulty in earning their full farm allowance or pay ments under the Triple-A.” Interested farmers should see county AAA offices, AAA commit teemen, or county agents for details and specifications.
