In Dade County the ASC ad¬ ministers the Soil Bank Prog¬ rams (Conservation Reserve and Acreage Reserve), Acreage Al¬ lotments and Marketing Quota Programs, Agricultural Conser¬ vation Program. Wool Incentive Frogram, Price Support Pro¬ grams and any other programs which may be assigned. The office is now located in the Cannery Building on the Courthouse Square in Trenton. The initial sign-up for 1958 ACP opened on December 30, 1957 and will remain open through January 31, 1958. These dates are very important to farmers in the county if they are interested in receiving cost- shares to complete practices on itheir farms under the 1958 ACP. If they wait until after the in¬ itial sign-up to file their re¬ quests for cost-shares there Is a risk of having the request dis¬ approved or reduced because of the shortage of funds available at the time the request is con¬ sidered for approval. The best time to file a request for Federal Cost-Shares is now and in no event later than January 31, 1958. The sign-up for Cotton Acre¬ age Reserve Agreement opens January 13, 1958 at 8 A. M. Each farmer who has a cotton allot¬ ment and plans to put it in the Acreage Reserve part of the Soil Bank must come to the ASC Office and sign an agreement. The closing date for signing agreements under the 1958 pro¬ gram is March 7, 1958. At pre¬ sent there is no allocation of (funds to the county and there will be no limit of participation to farmers unless the National Program should be larger than expected. Therefore, we have no assurance that funds will be available later and each inter¬ ested farmer is urged to sign his agreement immediately after the sign-up date. A Soil Bank Base must be established and approved on the farm before an agreement can be signed. Applications may be filled at the ACS Office for “New- Grower” Cotton Allotments. The closing date for filing requests has been set by The State ASC Committee as March 1, 1958. Any farmer who has not received an “old-grower” allotment. A farm¬ er with a “New-Grower” allot¬ ment put it in the Acreage Re¬ serve the first year. Farmers who have sold lambs unshorn or wool in 1957 and who have not filed their applications for the Wool Incentive Payment should do so immediately and in no event later than March 31, 1958. Farmers are urged to come to the ASC Office with farming problems or to contact a mem¬ ber of the ASC County Com¬ mittee. County Office Manager Louise E. Wright
