Show Soil-Conserving Rate For Davis County Average $1760 Acre The county soil-conserving (clas3 1) payment rate for Davis county in the 1936 Agricultural Conservation program will average $17.60 an acre, Director William I Peterson, in charge of the program in Utah announced this week. County agent De Lore Nichols says that the rate for individual farms may vary considerably from the average rate for the county, for the reason that the rate per acre for individual farms will depend de-pend upon the productivity of the farm as compared with the average aver-age productivity of all farms in the county. This rate for the county is an average rate. It has been determined determin-ed on the assumption that no summer sum-mer fallow will be included in the total of the soil-depleting basa acreages for the county. The inclusion in-clusion of summer fallow will result re-sult in a lower rate, dcpendii g upon the proportion which summer fallow is of the total of the soil depleting bases. For instance, if 25 per cent of the total soil depleting base acreages is made up of summer sum-mer fallow, then the actual county rate will be 25 per cent less than the rate indicated above. This rate should not be confused with the rates for soil-building f Tl ' 1 Viiuss i) pa) incites, jjiwviuusiy announced. Neither should it be confused with soil-conserving payments pay-ments to be made with respect to sugar beets. The county rates were worked out by the Agricultural Adjustment Adjust-ment Administration on the basis of the yield3 of the principal soil-depleting soil-depleting crops raised in the county in the 10-year period 1923 to 1932 inclusive.
