Paul Jone of the County Agricultural Stabilizat ion and Conservation Committee, announced that conservation re serve contracts which expire in I960, or later years are no longer eligible to be extended for an additional erlod of years. Previously, contracts entered Into for 3 years or less have been eligible for extensions up to the maximum of 10 years upon ap plication filed with the county ASC committee at any time be fore the original expiration date. The extensions of contracts Is being stopped at this time be cause of the fact that extension of a contract has the same effect as a new contract and would re quire the expenditure of addit ional conservation reserve funds. Under present legislation, no new conservation reserve con tract may be entered into. Mr Jones said the present rul ing has no effect on the period of existing contracts. These will continue in accordance with con tract terms. The county ASC office also should be notified whenever farm land which involves an acreage allotment or a conser- ..-.flnn onntrart is boueht or Sold. There are certain regulations concerning the combinations ana nf farms which must be carried out whenever land with acreage allotments changes hands. Notification of the county office will enable the necessary changes to be made on office records. In many cases, it is even better if th ASC office can be con sulted before the farm real es tate deal is closed. This may nroVAtlt later misunderstanding as to how allotments or conser vation reserve contracts may be effected.
