"If it is determined that previous ACP practices are not being maintained in accordance ac-cordance with good farming practices, or the effectiveness of such practices is destroyed during dur-ing the 1950 program year, a deduction shall be made from current practice payments. "Conservation of our soil and water resources is so vital to the national welfare that every dollar used to assist in carrying out conservation practices must be used to obtain a maximum of protection to the productivity of the land. Duchesne county farmers have a responsibility to see that none of these funds are wasted either in failing to maintain or properly protect practices previously carried out." In planning conservation practices prac-tices for 1950, the chairman urges ur-ges that each farmer of Duchesne Du-chesne county keep in mind his responsibility to maintain the practices started in past years and to fit his practices in 1950 into a continuing conservation program for the fa servatl0n Eating Habits and Land Use Farmers as well as other producers pro-ducers must gear their production produc-tion to consumer trends according ac-cording to Mr. Bertoch.

The trend is toward more leafy vegetables, more citrus fruits and tomatoes more meat, poultry and eggs! and away from potatoes, sweet-potatoes, sweet-potatoes, grain products and bread. This trend, says the chairman, chair-man, should help serve as a guide to farmers in the use of diverted acres the land taken out of allotment crops. Some of the allotment crops are on the side of the products of declining use, while good conservation use of the land fits into the trend for more protein foods. |
