During World War II, ACP was used as a tool for in¬ creasing the production of food and fiber crops by increasing soil fertility and offering certain incentive payments. In recent years ACP has come to be re¬ cognized as essentially a pro¬ gram through which the Federal Government offers to share with farmers the cost of performing needed measures for the conser¬ vation of soil, water and timber resources. Cost-sharing is offer¬ ed for performing needed practi¬ ces over and above what farmers would be able to do with their own resources In the latter set¬ ting ACP has emerged as vital part of the public effort to pro¬ tect our priceless natural re¬ sources. It is no longer regarded as an emergency program or as a program for subsidizing farm¬ ers. It is simply a means by which the public can share the responsibility for the protection and improvement of our agricul¬ tural resources which are vital plot only to farmers but to the Nation as a whole. The efforts of the Federal Government in the field of agricultural conser¬ vation include research, educa¬ tion, technical aid, credit and cost-sharing. The cost-sharing offered through ACP has been demonsrated to be the final in¬ centive for implementing on a broad scale the other conser¬ vation activities of the Govern¬ ment. Operation The ACP is operated on ann¬ ual authorizations and approp¬ riations enacted by the Federal Congress- Annual authorizations Ifor the past eleven years have varied from 150 million dollars to 300 million dollars- For the past three years, and again for 1958, the authorization was for 250 million dollars annually. Funds authorized Nationally are broken ..... ....................... down into State relative) alloca- tions on the basis of the conservation needs of the States as determined by the Secretary of Agricuture. When the Nation¬ al authoriation is 250 million dollars. Georgia's State alloca¬ tion ranges between 7 and 7 Vz million dollars. Big Stake The funds allocated to each State are further broken down into county allocations by the State ASC Committee, taking into consideration the conser vation needs of the counties and the demonstrated ability to use the funds effectively in the res¬ pective counties to achieve addi¬ tional needed conservation meas ures- The amount of cost-shor¬ ing made available to each in¬ dividual farm Is determined by the county ASC Committee, tak¬ ing into consideration the farm¬ ers’ requests, the kind of pract¬ ices on which cost-sharing is requested, the amount of funds available, the requests of other farmers in the county, and the conservation work for which cost-sharing is considered as most needed in the county. Business and professional men and tax payers who help finance this program are entitled to know of its operations and to determine if there is a justifi- THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1958 Dade County Calendar Hand ....................................4th Thursdays Post ..............................2nd and 4th Thursdays Lodge 179, F. & A.
