The ACP Program for 1958 was
re-opened on July 28, 1058 and
will remain open through Aug¬
ust 15,1958, in order that farm¬
ers may file requests for cost-
shares under the 1958 Agricul¬
tural Conservation Program in
the county. 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
