Coos county farmers who are parti- j cl pa ting in the Agricultural Conser- ' vation program will receive an aver- ag* diversion payment of $8 per acre instead of $6 which was the average for farms throughout the United States for diverting land from the production of soil depleting crops to the production of soil conserving crops, according to information just received by the local association from the state office. In addition to the $8 diversion rate, a payment of $5.85 for each acre di verted will be made to apply on the soil building allowance on diversion farms and the average soil building allowance rate .per acre on all crop land on non-diversion farms will be $1.19 per acre as compared with the 80c for an average for the United States as a whole. According to the information, just received, practically the same pay ment will be made for the diversion from the production of depleting ?rops such as grain, corn, potatoes, root crops, etc., to the production of conserving crops r such as alfalfa, clover, apd permanent grasses. The only, difference from last year’s pro gram is that $5.95 of this payment goes to build up the soil building al lowance instead of being paid direct for diversion, it was stated by George Jenkins, county agent. These figures will be used during the next few days in the county jem * ** am ** * alTOwithre whldTl cah w earned on all □ervice Station CAUL 133 Auxiliary Membership Is Larger 7 ^mbulanit T€l£PHOH€ 100 - COQUI LLt With enrollments running approx imately 25,006 members ahead of the same date last year, the American Legion Auxiliary is making a strong bid to exceed last year’s record en rollment of 424,311, according to Mabie Kunz, membership chairman of the local Auxiliary unit.
