1937 Soil Program Now Worked Out
The 1937 AAA soil conservation program, announced in Washington and approved by Ohio committee chair Elmer F. Kruse, aims to balance profitable farming by promoting soil conserving crops and practices. It offers government cost-sharing to farmers who shift up to 15 percent of acreage from soil-depleting to conserving uses and implement approved practices, reflecting changes from 1936.

Drought prompts payments for soil conserving crop shifts
The program will measure payments from a starting point at farm level. Due to widespread drought damage in 1986 many established lands and seedings were destroyed. Eligible farmers can qualify for full payment by shifting acres from soil depleting uses into soil conserving crops and new pasture and hay plantings.

Protection For Seed Corn Urged
Extension agronomist R. D. Lewis advises Ohio farmers to select seed corn from growing stalks and store it now to protect against weather and mice until spring. Choose ears that dry thoroughly, are mold free, and show clean, white stalk breaks. Inspect kernels for alive germ, discard blistered or rough kernels, and avoid yellow or brown weevil damaged seeds. Proper storage helps only if the germ is alive.
