PAGE FOUR HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1936. FEDERAL SOIL ACT READY FOR STATE Oregon State College Men See Has tening of Good Farm Practice by Vse of Control Plan. Oregon farmers will have an op portunity early in April to learn just what detailed steps are possi ble on their farms to cooperate in the new federal soil conservation and domestic allotment act. Inspection to determine compli ance for the 1936 AAA program, which was declared unconstitu tional by the supreme court on Jan uary 6, will be started in Morrow county soon. All those men who had signed applications prior to Jan uary 6, and who had seeded at least 54 per cent and not more than 95 per cent of their 1936 base acreage, will be eligible for payment, accord ing to a representative of the wheat section at a meeting of the Oregon county agents at Corvallis Monday and Tuesday of this week. The decision of the supreme court makes it impossible for those men who had not seeded prior to Jan uary 6 to receive the 1936 payment If some wheat was seeded, but less than 54 per cent of the base acre age, the payment will be in the pro portion which the minimum acreage seeded bears to the minimum re quirements. The primary purpose of the Cor vallis meeting was to explain the fundamentals of the new soil con servation and domestic allotment plan. Many of the details which will necessarily have to be worked out before the plan can be placed in operation have not as yet been determined. It will probably be a matter of ten days or two weeks before sufficient definite information is available to make it practical to hold meetings of wheat farmers to explain the exact operation of the program. There are some fundamental dif ferences between the old AAA plan and the new program. The AAA act was continued from year to year, while the new plan will be conducted on a one-year basis, Farmers desiring to cooperate in tne program will submit informa tion concerning their farming op erations on a work sheet to be sup plied. After they have made the improvements in soil conservation decided upon, they will apply for grant payable for such per LEXINGTON the formance. At no time will there be a con tract and at no time is any farmer to be under obligations to do any thing. Instead, if he complies with the soil conservation rules' laid down in advance, he will be eligible for a grant representing the value to the nation of such practice. If he does not comply there will be no grant. Amounts of grants will vary ereat ly, depending on the extent and na ture of betterments in soil practice. The "starting point" in determina tion will be the farmer's "base acre age, which now means the acreage in soil depleting crops in 1935, with certain exceptions. Largest amounts per acre will be granted for shifting acres from soil aepieting crops such as small grains, corn, potatoes, cotton, and the like, to other crops. Each far mer can shift as much as he likes, out can only claim a grant for shifting 15 per cent of his base. This 15 per cent may be shifted either to what are known as soil conserving or soil building crops. as ine names imply, the soil con serving crops are those which just aDout allow the soil to hold it3 own while the soil building crops actu ally improve it. or Morrow county and other wheat sections this will mean in nearly every case a reduction of 15 per cent in wheat acreage. It is not sufficient merely to reduce the acre age of soil depleting crops, but such reduced acreage must be handled in certain ways to be prescribed for the purpose of conserving or build ing the soil. Organization of ranchers, under the new plan, will be carried on in a manner similar to the plan fol lowed under the AAA. The county win oe divided into districts and three committeemen from each dis trict will be elected at a district meeting. All farmers attending the meeting will be eligible to vote and will not be required, as they were under the AAA, to file an applica tion, the chairman of each dis trict committee is automatically a member of the board of directors and, as under the old plan, the board of directors will elect their own officers. Local expenses of organization and administration under the new plan will not be pro-rated among the farmers within the county as was done' under the AAA, but will be paid directly from Washington, D. C. Under the new program a tech nical committee is to be set up in the state which will recommend to Washington the crop and practices which, in their opinion, should qual ify under the act. These practices need not necessarily be uniform from state to state, and it is en tirely possible that variations may be permitted within the same state in different counties. As soon as the recommendations of this tech' nicai committee have been approved by Washington for this state, or ganization meetings at which the plan will be explained in detail, will be held throughout Morrow county and the other counties of the state.
