This | committee consists of E. J. Farabaugh, Loretto, R. D., Pa.; W. H. Fyock, of Johnstown, R D., and C. J Bearer, of | Hastings, R. D. | For their work in connection with the program these 981 county farmers have received conservation payments amounting to $47,151. This money was earned through carrying out soil build- ing practices and complying with ac- reage allotments which are designed to keep production in line with needs. In addition, for this year for the first time, 424 wheat farmers of the County have received wheat price adjustment (parity) payments to the amount of $3,696. These parity payments on wheat are made through a special act of the congress, in an effort to give the far- mer a price for his wheat more nearly in line with the pirce of things he buys. The committee emphasized that the results of the 1938 Program show that real progress has been made toward permanent agricultural conservation and pointed out that the use of similar soil building practices continue to be the back-bone of the program for this year as well as for 1940. The commit- tee urges all farmers, who wish to par- ticipate in the 1940 Program, to get in touch with the county office located in the Court House at Ebensburg, or with their community committeeman in or- der to obtain complete information re- garding the Program. As evidence of the work that has been done to advance agriculture in line with good farm management, the committee pointed to the establishment of new seedlings of timothy and clover and timothy and of alfalfa. In addition | the extensive application of lime and | superphosphate in preparation for see. | ture improvement continue, as under | past programs, to be the practices most widely carried out. | The complete list of practices used | during the 1938 Program in the Coun- | | ty and the number of acres improved | by each, follows: { Planting forest trees, 54 acres. Improving woodlands, thinning and Excluding livestock from farm wood- land, 10 acres. Seeding pasture mixtures, 15 acres. Reseeding established pastures, none. Establishing new seedings of alfal- fa, 272 acres. Establishing new seedings of clover, 4,502 acres. Growing green manure crops, 206 acres, Seeding winter legumes, 33 acres. Mulching orchard and vegetable lands, 3 acres. Stripcropping cropland, 88 acres. Liming cropland, pasture land or or. chards, 9,434 acres. Applying available phosphoric acid, 6,210 acres.

Most Rev. Bishop Richard T. Guil- foyle, D.
