according to plans approved in advance by the county committee based on the recommendations of the New Jersey Agricultural Extension Service or the Soil Conservation Service. Practice No. 14.-Contour Farming: Rate of Payment, $0.75 per Each 4 Acres The cultivation of intertilled crops on the contour. This practice is to be carried out according to plans approved in advance by the county committee based on the recommendations of the New Jersey Agricultural Extension Service or the Soil Conservation Service. Practice No. 15.-Terracing: Rate of Payment, $1.50 for Each 200 Linear Feet The construction of standard terraces for which proper outlets are provided. This practice is to be carried out according to plans approved in advance by the county committee based on the recommendations of the New Jersey Extension Service or the Soil Conservation Service. Practice No. 16.-Contour Furrowing Noncrop, Open Pasture Land: Rate of Payment, $0.75 for Each 2 Acres This practice must be carried out in accordance with plans recommended by the New Jersey Extension Service or the Soil Conservation Service and approved in advance by the county committee. If one-half or more of the total cost of carrying out any practice is represented by labor, seed, trees, or materials furnished by a State or Federal agency other than the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the practice shall not be counted toward earning the largest possible soil-building payment. If less than one-half of the total cost of carrying out any practice is represented by labor, seed, trees, and materials furnished by a State or Federal agency other than the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, one-half of the practice shall be counted toward earning the largest possible soil-building payment. Trees purchased from a Clark-McNary Cooperative State Nursery shall not be deemed to be paid for in whole or in part by a State or Federal agency. AMOUNT OF PAYMENT EARNED ON FARMS WITH NO ALLOTMENTS On a farm which does not have an acreage allotment, the total payment for the year will be computed as follows: Add together the payments for each soil-building practice carried out at the rate shown in the description of the practice. However, the total payment computed for carrying out soil-building practices shall not be larger than the largest possible soil-building payment. Then subtract $20 for each acre of vegetables planted for market (including potatoes) in excess of 3 acres. Subtract 50 cents per bushel times the normal yield of wheat for the farm for each acre of wheat harvested for grain or hay in excess of the usual acreage of wheat set for the farm. If no usual acreage is set subtract at the same rate for each acre of wheat harvested for grain or hay in excess of 8 acres. ACREAGE ALLOTMENTS In 1939 acreage allotments will be set by county committees in a manner very similar to that in which they were set in 1938. Potato allotments will be set on farms that usually grow more than 3 acres of potatoes. Wheat allotments will be set for farms on which more than 100 bushels of wheat are usually grown for market. If no allotment is set on a farm and more than 8 acres are usually harvested for grain or hay a usual acreage of wheat harvested will be set for that farm. If more than 8 acres of corn for grain are usually grown on a farm with a potato or wheat allotment, a usual acreage of corn for grain will also be set for that farm. Vegetable allotments will be set on farms that planted in 1936 and 1937 an average of 3 or more acres of vegetables to be sold off the farm. AMOUNT OF PAYMENT EARNED ON ALLOTMENT FARMS The amount that is earned on any farm with an allotment is computed by finding the sum of the following payment items which apply to the farm and then subtracting the sum of the deductions, if any, which apply: ALL ALLOTMENT FARMS A payment at the rate shown in the description of the practice will be computed for each soil-building practice carried out. The total payment computed for carrying out soil-building practices shall not exceed the "largest possible soil-building payment." FARMS WITH POTATO OR WHEAT ALLOTMENTS Potatoes. A payment of 3 cents per bushel times the normal yield of potatoes per acre will be computed for each acre in the potato allotment or for 125 percent of the acreage planted to potatoes, whichever is smaller. A deduction of 30 cents per bushel times the normal yield will be made for each acre planted to potatoes over the potato allotment. If a farmer is growing wheat or expects to harvest corn for grain or plant vegetables, he should read the deduction paragraph for each of these crops. Wheat.-A payment of 17 cents per bushel times the normal yield will be computed for each acre in the wheat allotment or for 125 percent of the acreage planted to wheat, whichever is smaller. A deduction of 50 cents per bushel times the normal yield will be made for each acre planted to wheat over the wheat allotment. If the farm has no wheat allotment, a deduction at the same rate will be made for each acre of wheat harvested for grain or hay over the usual acreage of wheat set for the farm or 8 acres of wheat, whichever is larger. If a farmer expects to harvest corn for grain, or plant vegetables or potatoes, he should read the deduction paragraph for corn for grain or vegetables. CORN FOR GRAIN A deduction of $10 will be made on potato or wheat allotment farms for each acre of corn harvested for grain over the usual acreage set for the farm. If no usual acreage is set for the farm, $10 will be deducted for each acre of corn harvested for grain over 8 acres. FARMS WITH VEGETABLE ALLOTMENTS A payment of $1.50 will be computed for each acre in the vegetable allotment or for 125 percent of the acreage planted to vegetables, whichever is smaller. A deduction of $20 will be made for each acre planted to vegetables over the vegetable allotment. If the farm has no vegetable allotment, $20 will be deducted for each acre over 3 acres planted to commercial vegetables, including potatoes on a farm with no potato allotment. INCREASE OF PAYMENTS There will be added to each person's share of the farm payment, if that share is less than $200, the amount of increase indicated in the following: ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE There will be deducted from each person's payment, his share of the expense of administering the program in his county. FURNISHING MATERIALS IN LIEU OF PAYMENTS Superphosphate and liming material will be furnished in some counties in New Jersey to farmers who want those materials in place of a payment. Complete instructions for handling this provision will be furnished the county committees and will be available in time to get the materials to the farmers before the spring operations begin. A. W.
