1(5 Butts Fanners
To Participate in
1959 Soil Bank
More than 165 Butts County farm
ers have taken the first step toward
participation in the 1959 Soil Bank
Program, Chairman 0. L. Weaver of
the county Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee an
nounced today.
This is the number of farmers
■who have called at the County ASC
Office and requested that rental
rates be established for placing part
or all of their eligible cropland in the
Conservation Reserve next year.
After receiving the rates, they have
until Oct. 24, 1958 to make a formal
application for the program if they
wish to do so.
Under the Conservation Reserve
program, the farmer voluntarily re
duces his acreage of cultivated crops
or tame hay under a 3-to-10-year
contract as a surplus adjustment
measure. In return he receives rent
al payments on the land taken out of
production. During the time the land
is in the Conservation Reserve it can
not be used for cropping or grazing
and must be devoted to erosion pro
tective conservation uses. The Gov
ernment shares the cost of carrying
out land, water, or wildlife conser
vation practices on the reserved land.
At present, according to Mr.
Weaver, about 104 farmers here in
the county have approximately 10-
16.0 acres in the Conservation Re
serve under contracts entered during
the 1956-58 period. Total rental pay
ments in the county under these ex
isting contracts amounts to about
$22,749.00 per year. Which is now
ready for payment, if all conditions
have been met for this year on their
farm. For the 1959 program, the
Chairman said, the annual rental
rate will be higher for many farms
than in the earlier years of the pro
gram. The county average payment
rate will be $13.00 per acre for con
tracts beginning next year compared
with SB.OO per acre rate previously
in effect.
When the county committee sets
a maximum annual payment rate
for a farm, Chairman Weaver said,
it considers productivity, agricultural
value and rental rates for similar
land in the area.
While individual farm rates will
vary above and below the county
average rate, they may not be
greater than 20 percent of the value
of the land on the particular farm,
without regard to physical improve
ments or location. The top limit for
any farm in this county is $19.50
per acre.
Mr. Weaver urged all local farm
ers who have requested rental rates
on their farm for the 1959 Conserva
tion Reserve to be sure and visit
the county office in Jackson before
October 24, 1958. The farmer
should bring acreage and yield in
formation for his farm for the past
2 years.

HICH-AMYLOSE STARCH
FOR MEAT PACKAGING
The food packaging industry fore
sees major improvements in meat
packaging through the use of dip
coated or sprayed-on films complete
ly covering chickens, turkeys and
other irregularly-shaped and hard-to
package meats.
According to the Corn Industries
Research Foundation, high-amylose
starch is a distinct probability for
the near future. This material is
known to have excellent film-form
ing attributes and will be useful in
such wrapping applications, the CI
RF reports.
If it’s worth selling, it’a worth
advertising.
