A. S. C. NEWS
Cotton growers were reminded
today of the importance of either
using or releasing their cotton
allotments this year in order to
prevent reduced allotments for
future years. The deadline for re
leasing cotton farm allotments in
Georgia is March 21, 1960.
According to John F. Bradley,
Administrative Officer of the Agri
cultural Stabilization and Conser
vation State Office, the 1961 cotton
| allotment fo ra farm will be re
duced if certain conditions are not
met in 1960. So a farmer who
knows that ho will not plant at
least 75 percent of his farm’s
cotton allotment in 1960 can help
himself and also other cotton far
mers b releasing his allotments be
fore the deadline. This will assure
him. as well as the county and
State, of history acreage for future
allotments.
Under a recent amendment to
the law, Bradley explains, the 1960
allotment is required to be used
as the farm’s allotment base in
determining the 1961 cotton allot
ment if at least 75 percent of the
farm’s 1960 allotment is planted
or “regarded as planted.” Otherwise
the base for determining a future
allotment will he reduced to the
average of (11 the regular (Choice
A) allotment for tho year, and (2)
the aorean'o planted or “regarded
as planted” in that year.
Acreage may be “regarded as
planted” if it is released to the
ASC County Committee or if it is
included under the Conservation
Reserve or Great Plains Program
In order to fully protect the
allotment base for the farm’s 1961
and future cotton allotment, 'there
fore. the farmer should (1) plant
at least 75 percent of the 1960
allotment to cotton, or (2) release
at least 75 percent of the allot
ment to the ASC County Commit
tee, or (3) include at least 75
percent of the allotment areas in
the Conservation Reserve, or (4)
use a total acreage equal to at
least 75 percent of the farm's
1960 cotton allotment in all of
these three ways together.
Any cotton farmer in Georgia
who now knows that his allotment
will not be planted this year should
visit the local ASC office immedi
ately to discuss how the new pro
visions of law will apply to his
farm.
Bradley also points out that
March 16 is another important
deadline—the last day for farm
operators to elect the Choice (B>
allotment-price support for their
farm’s 1960 upland cotton cron.
The Choice (B) program provides
an allotment 40 percent larger and
price support at 15 percent of
parity less than under the “regu
lar” Choice (A) program.

WITH YOUR
COUNTY AGENT
J-*’t->n}| H -«">II»A1
All Forsyth County poultry grow
ers are vitally Interested in the
new Poultry Disposal Pit Law
which is scheduled to go into ef
fect on April 1, 1960.
While a disposal pit will require
some work and expense, the bene i
fits of having all dead chickens
disposed of in a way which may
keep diseases from spreading from
house to house and from farm to
farm will be well worth the effort.
There will be other benefits, too.
Many people believe that it will
be a big help in the control of
the wild dog problem which is bad
in many communities of the coun
ty. These wild dogs many' times
band together in packs and have
been known to kill calves and other
farm animals on several occasions
and are always a threat that some
dav one of them will contract
rabies and infect all of them with
the disease. This indeed, would
be a dangerous occurence.
1 The disposal pit will not be
difficult to dig. It should tie no
more than 6 feet deep. A pit 6 ,
feet deep and 4 feet in size will ]
he large enough to take care of the 1
normal number of dead birds from
a flock of about 4.000. For larger
flocks, the size‘of the pit should
be made larger or more than one
pit should be -Jug. The nit should
never be deeper than 6 feet. 01:1
wells will not be accepted.
The ideal cover for the pit is a
4 inch reinforced concrete slab.
A piece of 8 inch concrete tile
can be placed in the 000*01- of the
concrete slab when it is poured.
If the tile is not readily available,
a metal milk or other type can
may be used. In every ease there
c hould be a tight fitting lid. A less
permanent type cover can be made
j out of two layers of two inch
boards. The cover should extend
at
of the nit regardless of the type
of eover used.
The opening into the pit should
not be larger than 8 inches. To
make a larger nnenin" mav inv>t-<
some small child to fall into the
hole while no one is looking.
The disposal pit should he at
lease 100 feet from wells or springs
and should be located in such a

marinif 1 that drainage will be
away from water supplies. After
the lid has been placed over the
pit, it .should he covered with soil
which is hanked high enough to
acuse surface water to drain away
from the pit.
At least two concerns are build
ing read-to-use concrete covers for
disposal pits and are marketed
at a reasonable price. These are
being constructed in surh a way
that they can be dragged to a new
location once the old pit | s filled
with dead birds.
Whatever type of eover you use.
be sure that the lid is fly tight.
If the cover is made of wood,
treating it with a wood perser
vative will lengthen the life of it.
When the pit is completed, you
may have it inspected and a permit
issued by contacting Mr. R. Berner
Tallant, Sr. Such a permit will be
required for marketing chickens
after the law goes into effect on
April Ist.
