Triple-A Announces Crop
Average Goals For Nation
National acreage goals for princi-(
Pal crops and the rates at which
particiating farmers can earn pay
ments under the 1940 Agricultural
Conservation Program has been an
nounced by the Agricultural Ad
justment Administration.
The national cotton acreage goal
was unchanged, being left at 27,000.
000 to 29.000.000 acres, while
peanut acreage was. also about the
same. For all types as a whole,
co acreage goals Were lowered some
what,
In so far as authorized fund, pei
mit, the 1940 program contii the
efforts of farmers to-ard
for the nation's con inters, conser
vation of vital soil resouices,
P arit y income from agriculture,
cording to R. M Evans, Tripie-A ad
ministrator
More opportunity for soil conser
vation will be offered under the 1940
program than was available this
year. The program encourages the
use of practices which normally are
not carried out on many farms. It
also increases the opportunities for
participation in soil-building prac
tices by small farms. On other farms
the money available to assist farmers
in carrying out soil-building prac
tices is about the same, except that
up to $30 additional will be available
to help any particular farmer plant
trees.
Although the rale of credit fot
several practices has been lowered
the cash assistance available on each
farm is approximately the same. The
rate for summer legumes left on
land is reduced from $ 1.50 an acre
to 75 cents; summer legumes inter
planted with corn from 75 cents an
acre down to 374 cents; lespedeza
from $1.50 an acre down to $1,00
Conservation payments to
I on cotton was lowered to 16 cents
a pound from 1.8 cents, while rates
for flue-cured and Burley tobacco
were increased to 1 cent a pound
from 8 cents. Ton-rate payment on
peanuts was reduced to $2.50 from
$3.00.
All rates are subject to revision
upward or downward by 10 per
as an adjustment for participation
when final payments are made. Thi
present rates are contingent upon
! the $500,000,000 annual appropriation
in the Agricultural Ad
justment Act of 1938.
Payments for cotton will be sup
plemented by parity payments from
a separate approriation.

praised Mr. Carroll very highly and
stated that the club was fortunate
in having the opportunity of hear
ing him.
Mr. Carroll selected as his topic,
' Life.’' He said the reason he select

knew anything about it and added
that he didn't either, but that the
club members wouldn't know it. He
drew brief sketches to illustrate his
talk which was most interesting
and instructive. He told of the rela
