Any farmer who (needs cost-shares to complete practices on his farm this fall should file his request during the sign-up period. His request may be filed with a committeeman or at the county ASC Office, lo¬ cated in the Cannery Building, Trenton, Georgia* The basic purpose of the ACP Is to aid in achieving necessary conservation of our soil and wa¬ ter resources. It offers cost- sharing for carrying out con¬ servation practices on which cost-sharing is most needed in order to achieve the maximum conservation benefits to the former and to the public. The program is entirely voluntary. Any farmer who believes he can do the needed conservation job on his farm without the aid of the limited ACP funds available Is urged to do so. Each farm operator should study the conservation practices on the list mailed to him early in the year and try to decide on which practices ACP cost-shar¬ ing is most needed* In doing so, we hope that he will make full use of any conservation plan he has developed for the farm. All farmers who decide they will need 1958 ACP cost-sharing are urged to file their requests during the sign-up. Only in this way will they be assured that their requests will be considered Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia .
