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.
