Conservation Cost Higher
Than Benefit, County
Agent Points out
- DALLAS Approximatelr 95
per cent of Polk county's crop
lan dis Included under this year's
: AAA farm program, according to
a summary complied at the coun
ty agricultural conservation of
fice in Dallas.
This reperesents 392,802.2
acres of land on 1700 farms, said
W. C. Leth, secretary of the
county agricultural conservation
committee.
Leth pointed out that farmers
receive benefit payments only by
carrying out conservation prac-
tices on these lauds, preventing
soil losses and building values
for the future.
"The government payments
are not all for cooperating farm
ers," he declared, 'for usually
the cost of carrying on the con
servation practices is about dou
ble or more the payment re
ceived." High for State
Operators of 87 per cent of
all Oregon crop land have indi
cated their intention to partici
pate in the 1939 farm program,
aCCOrdine to Word from f tin at ii to
AAA office at Corvallls. This rep
resents nearly 42,000 farmers
who operate 3,800,000 acres of
crop land.
, The Information was compiled
n the basis of "farm tlan and
estimate sheets" which all farm
el s were required to sign If they
..wished to take part In this year's
program.
