Dade County's Only Newspaper. VOLUME LVI A. S. C. Column ACREAGE RESERVE PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT The purpose of the Acreage Reserve Program is to assist farmers to direct a portion of their cropland from the pro¬ duction of excessive supplies of agricultural commodities by compensating them for reduc¬ ing their acreages below their farm acreage allotments. The acreage reserve for 1956 is for the 1956 calender year only. Any acreage taken out of an allotted crop cannot be put in a crop that will be harvested in 1956. (Examptle-- cotton cannot be plowed up and planted in corn- corn in this case would be harvested in -1956.) Under the basic rules of eli¬ gibility established in keeping with the law, acreage designat¬ ed for the Acreage Reserve must: (1) Be representative of the land used for the crop, (2) result in the harvesting of an acreage of the basic crop less -than the farm allotment, and >(3) not be grazed, cut for hay, or cropped after June 22, 1956. -Noxious weeds must also be controlled o n the Reserved” acreage. In order to participate in the Acreage Reserve, a farmer must comply with all acreage allotments established for the farm. The 1956 program, as pro¬ vided by the law, contains spe¬ cial provisions and payments which enable farmers to par¬ ticipate this year. Any farmer who otherwise complies with the provisions of the Acreage Reserve will be eligiable for payment if: 1. He has underplanted his allotment for cotton or wheat (w:hen planted to spring wheat) and he certifies that he underplanted (a) in anticipa¬ tion of complying with the 19- 56 Acreage Reserve or (b) be¬ cause of adverse weather con¬ ditions; or 2. He has underplanted his 1 9 5 6 allotment for winter wheat and certifies that this was done because of adverse weather conditions; or 3. He has complied with his farm allotment for a particular crop, but an acreage of the crop was not harvested because of de¬ struction by natural causes; or 4. The farmer is in an area where an established final date set for the basic commodity for his area is subsequent to May 28 and he plows or otherwise phy¬ sically incorporates the crop into the soil, or clips, mows, or cuts the crop after May 28 and not later than July 15, 1956 for wheat and flue cured tobacco and July 31, 1956 for cotton peanuts and hurley tobacco. Maximum and minimum acre¬ age of the basic crops which may be placed in the Acreage Re¬ serve have been established as follows (except that where the allotment is less than the speci¬ fied acreage minimum or maxi¬ mum, the total allotment shall be consiered as the minimum or the maximum): For wheat, the maximum is the larger half the wheat allot¬ ment or 50 acres. The minium is the larger of 10 percent of the allotment or 5 cicrcs. For Cotton, the maximum is Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia.
