CONSERVATION
PROGRAM FOR
1845 READIED
While farmers are carrying
out conservation practices under
tne agricultural cuuociva-
tion program the 1945 program
is being readied for early an
nouncement. ' The 1945 program
has come up from the "grass
roots" . through recommenda
tionsJto the state AAA offices
by the elected community and
county farmer-committeemen of
the agricultural adjustment
agency. It is almost ready to
return through these same chan
nels of elected farmer-representatives
for final adaptation to
local conditions by the selection
of needed practices from the na
tional program and preparation
of detailed specifications to as
sure high quality conservation
returns.
Throughout the west, farmers
and their elected committeemen
have generally advocated that

the 1945 program follow closely
the . 1944 ACP program. Only
minor changes in the program
were suggested by the farmer-
committeemen wno' urgea mat
the program be presented to
farmers as early as possible in
order .that they' may utilize its
conservation assistance to the
fullest extent in their 1945 war
production and soil-building ef-
lorts.
Practices emphasized in 1944,
and due to be again in 1945,
are those that will return the
most immediate results in the
way of increased food produc
tion. N. E. Dodd, chief of the
AAA, points out that as soon as
wartime requirements permit,
American farmers must taKc
steps to restore the soil produc
tivity wnicn nas Deen drawn
upon during the war. This will
mean more emphasis on conser
vation practices troin wnicn tne
nation benefits in long-time rath
er than immediate production.
Congress has authorized the
agricultural adjustment agency
to plan a 1945 program for
which total expenditures will be
approximately the same as the
1944 program. Steadily expand
ing farmer participation in AAA
conservation practices which im
prove and maintain soil re
sources has resulted in an in
crease in payments to assist
farmers in carrying out these
practices from year to year.

of Australia has been described
as "nothing but miles and miles
