tices, thereby conserving our
land, water, wildlife and natur
al resources. Reports of the
major conservation accomplish
ments of the two programs com
bined were 1055 acres of per
manent vegetative cover estab
lished, 1381 acres planted to
tree seedlings and woodland im
provement, 8 farm ponds con
structed for livestock water or
wildlife purposes, 2762 acres of
winter and summer crops seed
ed. A total of 191 farms partici
pated in these programs in 1958
earning $57,416.43 in cost-share
payments. Mr. Aiken stated that
I this means about one farm in
' every 5 participated in one or
both of these programs during
the year.
The Agricultural Conserva
tion Program offers costshar
ing assistance to farmers to
help pay part of the cost of
applying needed conservation
measures to their land. Pay
ment rates vary according to
the work done. However, cost
share payments average about
50 percent of the cost on the ex
tent approved in advance by the
County ASC Committee. Farm
ers pay the balance of the cost
and, in addition, furnish their
labor and machinery. In this
process farmers are assisted in
performing additional conserva
tion above that which could be
performed with their own re
sources.
Some of the 1958 conservation
I accomplishments under the
IaCP are: Permanent vegetative
| cover established on 1055 acres,
tree seedlings planted on 1124
! acres, improvement of perman
| ent. pasture and hay land on
1749 acres, winter cover seeded
on 1723 acres, summer cover
'seeded on 1039 acres, lime ap
-1 plied on 704 acres, constructing
i 174 sq. feet of terraces, con-
I structing 8 dams for livestock
j water and irrigation.
The Conservation Reserve of
I the Soil Bank provides for the
withdrawal of cropland from
I production, helping to adjust
total crop acreage more nearly
i in line with the demand. At the
same time it provides and assists
! farmers in establishing and
I maintaining sound conservation
| practices on the land they put
। in the Reserve. Unlike the Ag-
I ricultural Conservation Pro
grams. Under the 1958 Conser
jof the cost of establishing con
servation practices, this program
I also makes annual rental pay-
I ments during the period each
contract is in effect. Annual
■ payments to farmers in the
1 county for contracts in effect
in 1958 amounted to $5,835.00.

Delegates representing the
Clara Hasslock Home Econo
mics Club of GSCW in Mil

convention in Atlanta April
17th and 18th included six
homemaking students. Among
the delegates was Dorothy

The meetings were held in
the convention hall of the Din

presenting twelve college home
economics clubs, homemaking
teachers, and home economists
in business were present. The
highlight of the convention was

quarters in Washington, D. C.
Miss Myrtis Halstead of

tion Reserve Program of the
Soil Bank are voluntary pro
garms. Under the 1958 Conser
vation Reserve Program there
were 257 acres of pine trees
planted in Newton County.
Approval of cost-shares under
the Agricultural Conservation
Program and contracts under
the Conservation Reserve Pro
gram are administered by the
Newton County ASC Commit
teemen. Under certain condi
tions a farm may participate
in both programs, but cost
shares are not approved under
both programs on the same
acreage.
Present indications are that
participation in these two pro
grams for the year 1959 will be
even larger than 1958, said Mr
Aiken.
