7 p m saturday december 18 in the court room at richfield it is announced by taylor 14 nielson 11 elson chairman of the county agricultural conservation committee this year the county committee will have charge of range conservation and sugar suga r beet programs in addition to the regular soil conservation work says saul E hyer state chairman 1 I hope that all these interests will be rep resented on the county committee before the voting farmers will be given their first look at the 1938 conservation program although this pro program ram has the same general burp purposes cis es as those in 1936 and 1937 it will be much easier to apply on the farm says lew mar price county agent the first way in which the conservation program has been simplified is that a single total payment representing the amount that the farmer may earn will be calculated at the beginning of the year then he will be able to figure out the farming practices that he wants to follow under the program As a measure of the work and practices needed for a well balanced form under the program two goals will be established the first of these is a total soil depleting crop goal which is simply ply a measure of these crops which deplete or run down the soil in contrast to the soil depleting goal is the soil building goal which will be the mark for the farms soil building practices these practices will be much the same as those employed in 1937 if the farmer reaches his soil building goal and does not exceed his soil depleting goal he will receive full payment on the other hand if he does not meet the them m either by falling short on soil building practices or by going over on soil depleting crops his payments will be reduced accordingly in short says mr nielson under the 1938 program the farmer can tell right at the start just where he is going what he wants to do and how much he will receive to help him do it farmers who are interested will also have a chance to discuss the range program mr nielson says that a change in method of payment this year is going to mean larger cons conservation allowances for many utah ranches and for the sugar beet growers there is the new 1937 sugar act which is to be administered by the county cc anty conservation lon committee under this new act utah growers will w il 1 receive r e cei v e 1 l S 0 a ton t 0 n of 0 f beets v varying a r aj n g w
