World's First Turnpike-Proved Tires! Nahunta, Ga. County's 1959 Conservation Achievements Show Increase Accomplishments of Brantley County’s two largest and most important farmer-type Conserva tion Programs administered by the Brantley County Agricultural Stablization and Conservation Committee indicate an increase over 1958, Dan H. Jacobs, ASC Office Manager, stated. The Agricultural Conservation Program and the Conservation Reserve Program of the Soil Bank assists farmers by sharing in the cost of establishing, ap proved conservation practices thereby conserving our land, wa ter, wildlife and natural re sources. Reports of the major conservation accomplishments of the two programs combined were 135 acres of permanent vegeta tive cover established, 143 acres planted to tree seedlings and 1090 acres of winter and summer crops seeded. A total of 220 farms participated in these programs in 1959 earning $16,899 in cost share payments. Jacobs stated that this means about one farm in every two participated in one or both of these programs during the year. The Agricultural Conservation Program offers cost-share as sistance to farmers to help pay part of the cost of applying need ed conservation measures to their land. Payment rates vary ac cording to the work being done. However, cost-share payments average about 50 percent of the cost on the extent approved in advance by the County ASC Committee. Farmers pay the ba lance of the cost and, in addition, furnish their labor and machin ery. In this process farmers are assisted in performing additional conservation above that which could be performed with their own resources. Some 01 the 1959 conservation accomplishments under the ACP are: permanent vegetative cover established on 135 acres, tree seedlings planted on 50 acres, winter cover seeded on 980 acres, summer cover seeded on 110 acres, lime applied on 50 acres and drilled 4 wells for livestock water. The Conservation Reserve of the Soil Bank provides for the withdrawal of cropland from pro duction, helping to adjust total crop acreage more nearly in line with the demand. At the same time, it provides and assists farm ers in establishing and maintain ing sound conservation practices on the land they put in the Re serve. Unlike the Agricultural Conservation Program in addi tion to the sharing of the cost of establishing conservation prac tices, this program also makes annual rental payments during the period each contract is in effect. Annual payments to farm ers in the county for contracts in effect in 1959 amounted to NOW LOOK WHAT CORVAIR'S GONE AND DONE! The same Corvair that tallied a thumping 27.03 miles per gallon* in the Mobilgas Economy Run . . . went right on to climb Pikes Peak earlier in the spring than any car has ever tried! *r_b^3 We wanted to show you what the fabulous traction of Corvair’s rear-engine design and the sure footedness of four-wheel independent suspension really mean. So the identical Economy Run car went right on to 14,110-foot Pikes Peak—and right up to the top of that savage mountain, on April 15, still deep in winter’s snow and ice. No other car even specially equipped—had ever been able to conquer that nightmare alpine road so early in the spring. But Corvair (with United States Auto Club officials aboard to certify that not one nut or bolt was changed) purred right to the summit without chains or even snow tires! That just underscores the fact that Corvair is totally unique. But you’ll find that out the first five minutes you're at the wheel! •(trtfA professional economy drivers on the MwHI over f,OOO-mile run V AAFlfOin j from Los Ancles lo /IJCiPi f wkJI Vdll Minneapolis) HBHB* R« L Walker Chevrolet Co $2212. Both the Agricultural Conservation Program and the Conservation Reserve Program of the Soil Bank are voluntary pro grams 93 acres of trees were planted under the 1959 Conserva tion Program. Approval of cost-shares under the Agricultural Conservation Program and contracts under the Consei vation Reserve Program are administered by the Brantley County ASC Committeemen. Un der certain conditions a farm may participate in both pro grams, but cost-shares are not ap proved under both programs on the same acreage.
