Payment Is made to the .'auver when the farret r nvikes :-' an effort to benefit himself and ' his farm. .VI crops have tx n divided In- '4 to' three' classes: soU-if etiiv?. soil-build ng or c nservtng- and neutral crops. Soil-depleting crops J Include the general farm crops, ' such as the grains with special - coiilderation Riven to suar beets. s Soil-buUdlns crops Include these U perenn a'., biennial or annual leg-umes, leg-umes, green cover crops and perennial per-ennial grasses. V The program calls for a rota- i., tien system of farming; so that part of yvxir soil-depleting crops will be reduced In favor of soit- ;E buildirs crops each year. You may change more than 15 per cent of your Vil-depleting acres to soil- building crops but )ou w U not be i paid for more than 15 per cent cn the basas of the conversion or Ciass 1 payment, in aamuon 10 this there Is a seeding payment or a conserving payment. For cer-tain cer-tain charges which you might J matte ycu are elig ble for both payments. Payments to be made for the civersicn of acres from sol'. -depleting crops to soil-building crops . are referred to as Class 1 pa-"t pa-"t ir.ents. ar.d for changes from soil-i soil-i depletir to soil-building practices S you will rece ve a Class 1 payment. ( Alfalfa is amcng the crops which J receives a high rating as a soU--J. building crop. This feature of the program is highly Important in 8 this state because nearly half of the rrigated land In Utah Is already al-ready in ah'a'fa. As the program Is interpreted today, if jou change your soil-depleting acres to the production of alfalfa and the alfalfa alf-alfa is plar.p d without a nurse crop fcr harvest, you will be eligible elig-ible to receive the conversion payment pay-ment of $10 or more per acre and also a seeding payment of 13.50 per acre. If, however, the alfalfa V s panted with a nurse crop ol I erair. fcr fcarvvst in the sprir.g of 1936, you will receive the conserving conserv-ing or seeding payment cf $3.50. wl'l not receive the conversion or Class 1 payment if you harvest m the nurs- crop. H'wever. If yo: pasture the nurse crop and do k not harvest it you may receive the cetrrers 03 payment. Utah has about 480 th'usaxid acres of and devoted to rating Cry farm wheat cn land that. In 1 most cases, is impossible to lrri-I lrri-I gate. On account cf the low rain- fall wheat can b? produced only on alternate ears, and the land is put in fallow during the year It is not crrpped. It is kw def-'nltely def-'nltely decided that summer fallow I Is Interpreted as a soil-dep'eting practice, and payments will be mae for rscognized soil-buidinf practices. Where land has a his?h gradient. and is subject to erosion and gully ng, terracing and gully con- trol will be paid for at the rate lw of $5 per acre whfn effected on crop lard In accordance with I Epecificati'ns as rxommended by Ithe state committee and approved I by the Director of the Western Division. A protected summer fallow fal-low in the form of contour listing to prevent water run-off w 11 be j. paid for under the same Jurisdic-II Jurisdic-II tion at the rate of $1 per acre. l Approved metheda of fallow, which Include plowing in the organic or-ganic matter when the soil la moist (and such a practice should be adopted by ev?ry dry farmer 1, M be paid for at the rate of DO f cents per acre. If you burn your W stubble ycu would not rece've this t" Payment. Nowever, payment will apply to only 15 per cent of area fcr conversion and the same limitations limi-tations will apply to the seeding w under soll-bulldlng practices. kf K is recognized that weeds are jj becoming a terrible menace on much of the land 'n this state. To help us combat this weed Jnace, payments will be made for approved metheds of eradloa-tion eradloa-tion by chemicals and' by periodic Hf cultivation. When both of these iV methods are used it is recognized s a soil-building pract'os. If you " the periodic cultivation, method Jy. $5 per acre mlpht be paid to yu for such a practice. It Is 'Or ecl?1m"nded that this program, in the case of perennial noxious " weeds, extend over a per od of -- two years. 4fl U green manure crops, planted in oiMlutuls unit vliymdN, are plowvU muler, tills Li roouun v.ed .t u otvll-bulUlliiK priu'tloe mid oiiite.i u payment of ns mucji n;i $J w tu-ie.
