Crop
Operators of 87 per cent of Ore
gon's crop land have given advance
notice of intention to participate in
the 1939 AAA program, according
to figures compiled by the state of
fice at Corvallis. This represents
close to 42,000 farmers who operate
about 3,800,000 acres of crop land.
"Government payments that these
farmers will earn will not all be
profit," said N. C. Donaldson, state
executive officer. "Usually the cost
of carrying on the conservation
practices is greater than the pay
ment received. Hence the farmers
really earn the payments made pos
sible by the program."
