F N McKaughan chairman of
the Payne county Agricidtural
Stabilization and Conservation
committee today listed three im-
portant changes In this soil banks
19511 conservation reserve pre'
gram
lie said the provons It hich
sere not in ffect during the 1957
program are vitally important to
farmers who are planning their
Ma farming operations
One such feature is that a pro-
ducer is permitted to place addi-
tional land in the conservation re-
serve at the non-diversion rate up
to the number of acres which are
placed in the conservation reserve

rate Mckaughan said
Under the 19?5 program farm-
ers may also place any acreage
In the COnlerV1110t1 reserve at the
non-diversion rate st hich la to be
devoted to forest trees These
will apply to contracts
which start with lira and subse-
quent years be added
Another change cliows the coun-
ty committee to raise the non-
diverlion rate up to $O per cent
of the regular rat when all eli
' Ole land on the farm is placed
In the conservation reserve This
liIan was started to encourage
participation of whole farm 'units
Department heads ' stress that
hers higher non-diversion rites
are granted they must be war-
ranted In such eases the county
ASC committee must find that the
Land value rental rats or produe
tivity of the farm justifies such
a higher rate
Third is a provision whereby
Contracts are offered for ten year
periods for land devoted to forest
trees and or ten year periods for
land devoted to shrubs planted for
shelterbelt windbreak or wildlife
habitat purposes Previously all
tree and shrub plantings Ivere''
