Load Grazed ia'57
Not Eligible Far
Sal Beak Contract
The local A SC office advises that
land grazed in 1957 is not eligi-
ble for Soil Bank payments. This
fact, says E. J. Byron, acting A SC
manager, should be kept in mind
and the land to be included in the
applications for payment should
not be brazed during the contract
year.
The office is not ready to sign
up cotton acreage for the Soil
Bank at this time, but the date will
be announced in the near future.
