Ile p p n e r Secretary of .Agriculture John K Block recently proposed the largest single soil conservation initiative in the history of American agriculture a 10 year. $11 billion conservation reserve which would take up to 20 million acres of highly erodible cropland oul of production Nothing in this nation is more precious than the natural resources which produce our lood and liber," said Block "Yet. we have I wen compelled to work with farm pro grams which encourage production on land that should never have been the blade of a plow." " I am asking congress to join me in seriously addressing the problem by including this proposal in the 1985 term MU M m k added " l U m M also point out that this proposal is consistent with tny strong support for a sodbuster provision in the farm bill which would make producers ineligible for federal farm program henefits if they produce crops on highly erodible land " Coder the proposal, the Depart mrnl of Agriculture and partici paling farmers would share the cost of planting protective grass or trees on eligible land At least Hi percent of the reserve would be earmarked lor tree planting and maintenance I ’m looking to have somewhere in the ncightiorhood ol one billion trees planted on this land and that has to make a great difference in our ability to protect this soil." Block said Conservation reserve payments made to the farmers would provide a modest level of income support during the Id y car transition from row crop farming to other enter prises, Block added Block said the reserve would reduce soil erosion on land which is enrolled in the program by nearly 20 Marriage License The Morrow County Clerk's Office at the Morrow County Courthouse has received an application for a marriage license from Ervin Gene Lewis. 50. and Christina Marie Watkins Davidson. 34, both of Ileppner O P E N C O N S IG N M E N T FARM AN D L IV E S T O C K E Q U IP M E N T A U C T IO N S A T U R D A Y , A U G U S T 3. 1 9 8 3 1 0 :0 0 A .M .

Block said We should also keep in mind that this is re prioritising existing funds I strongly believe il is far hettrr to use this money for conservation than on annual acreage reduction pro grams " Other details of the proposal in elude Farmers would submit bids on the cost share payments they would accept and the amount of acreage to lie enrolled Grazing and harvesting bay on reserve lands would tie prohibited No producer would receive more than $50.txx) in reserve payments yearly No more than 25 percent of the cultivated cropland in a county could In- enrolled in the reserve Temporary shading dev ices improve south and west windows answ ers < -»rw * - o * - i e T - w É ÎT -• I ' \ a -WT . u*.
