The establishing of contour
stripcropping is a practice that
the committee felt should he
I stressed in this county. With that
thought in mind, the committee
requested and secured a higher
rale of payment for Morrow
(County. The payment was in
creased from S4 to S8 per acre.
Mr. Howton advised that farm
ers review the conservation needs
of their own farms and to con
sider the need and possibility
of establishing contour strip--cropping.
In view of the present
and expected reductions in wheat
acreages, this is an opportune
time to consider contour strip-
cropping. Much work has been
done in the past few years on
contour work and machinery is
now being made that better
meets the needs of the farmer.
Mr. Howton states that assistance
n planning this practice can be
obtained from the County Com
mittee as well as from the County
Agent and the local Soil Con
servation Service office.
Mr. Howton went on to add
(hat farmers should read the
Handbook carefully when they
leceive it and consider its appli
cation to their own farms. Em
phasis this year is on the in
creasing of soil building crops
such as grass and legumes.
Mr. Howton added that it had
brought to the attention of the
County Committee that some
'armers are of the opinion that
hey do not have to reduce their
.vheat acreage to. be eligible for
'rice Support. Mr. Howton cau-
ioned that the legislation umler
consideration now applies to the
tyal crop and not to this year's.
As far as the County Committee
mows there has been no change
n the existing allotments. The
illotments now are not manda
tory but in order to be eligible
;or Price Support the farmer must
eed within his established al
lotment. Fertilizer trial plots, to demon
strate the value of different types

ion rates were put out on the
