Example: J .^ of is (dollars in the

 The following is a partial list of soil 

 building units: 



1. f-ach aire ot the tollowini; 

 shall be counted as one unit : 



A. Seeding Biennial legumes. 

 perennial legumes, peren- 

 nial ^'rasses (other tiian 

 timothy or red top) or 

 mixtures (other tlian a mix- 

 ture consisting solely ot 

 timothy and red top) con- 

 taining perennial i;rasses, 

 perennial le^'umes, or bien- 

 nial lepumes. (Seeding 2 

 acres of timothy or red top 

 also counts as one unit.) 



b. Seeding winter lej;umes. an- 

 nual lespedeza or annual 

 sweet clover. 



2. Application of 2,000 pounds 

 of ground limestone or its 

 ecjuivalent. 



3. Application of ''OO pounds ot 

 rock phospiiate in connection 

 with seeding perennial legumes 

 or permanent pasture. 



4. Application of 200 pounds of 

 ^0 per cent potash in connec- 

 tion with seeding perennial 

 legumes or permanent pasture. 



^. Reseedin^ depleted pastures 

 with j^ood seed ot adapted 

 jMsture grasses or lci;umes 

 10 pouiiiis ot seed. 

 u. ( onstriution of 200 linear feet 

 of standard terrace for wiiich 

 proper outlets are provided. 

 There are numerous additional prac- 

 tices which, if followed, count toward 

 reachin^t; the soil-buildini; ^oal. 'h'our 

 township or community iommittee can 

 tell you about them 



Now sup|H)si. that you planted W) 

 acres of corn instead of the allotted 

 ■iO. thus invoking: a deduction. You 

 would figure your |\iyments the same 

 as before with one more calculation. 



The deduction for overj-vlantini; corn 

 acreage allotnunts is five times the 

 bushel rate of p.iyiiicnt .\Ui.\ is computed 

 for overplanteil acres only. l-"i,i;ure 

 this way: *< times 10 cents times 3'' 

 (yield) times 10 acres (excess) — total. 

 Sl"*^. Subtract the deduction from the 

 total payment: Ss'^9.00 less SI""). 00, 

 ecpials SIS 1.00 the |-'avment you will 

 ^et if you plant ten acres more than 

 your allotment. 



Note, too, that vou o\erplanted by 

 20 per cent and th,it the deduction can- 

 cels the corn ,Hrea_i:e allotment pay- 

 ment. No matter wh,it yoir real acreage 

 is, w hen you overplant your corn allot- 

 ment by 20 per cent the payment is 

 wiped out. If you o\erpl.int by more 

 tli.in 20 per cent, the resultint; deduc- 

 tion will be t.iken from your total pay- 

 ment. 



Deductions will be made, too, for 

 overplanting your ^jeneral soil deplet- 

 ing' allotment. The rate of tliis deduc- 

 tion IS ei^'ht times the r.He of payment 

 on each acre overplanted. 



|-xample: Assume tiiat the 30 acres 

 in your soil conserving acreaue had 

 been seeded to clover in 193^. Say 

 that it was winter-killed. You elect 



to plant 30 acres to soybeans to harvest 

 for seed, thus overplantint; your soil 

 depletinir aireai;e allotment by 30 acres, 

 ■^'our deduction would be: H times 

 SI. 2") (varies with productivity) times 

 30 acres (excess) ecjuals $300, deduc- 

 tion to be subtracted from your total 

 p.iyment. Total payment would then 

 be' 5*^9. 



■^'ou could .ivoid the deduction by 

 usini: soybeans for hay or ^rcen manure 

 crop which would put the crop in the 

 non-depleting class. 



It you are a tenant or landlord and 

 share expenses and returns ecjually, 

 payments will be ecjually divided. Ten- 

 ants rentini; lor cish will recene the 

 total payment earned. 



I'armers who operate small acreages 

 will h.ivc their payments increased be- 

 tween 1 I and 10 per cent accordini; to a 

 definite schedule that runs trom an in- 

 crease of -10 cents for the SI payment to 

 SI I for payments from SCiO to SIN'S. 9';. 

 A Court of Appeals 



Any person who is not satisfied with 

 .iny recommendation or determination 

 of his county committee that atfects 

 Ins interests will have ample opportun- 

 ity for a hearing of his j;rievanccs. 

 Within l*" days after he receives notice 

 of action by the committee that affects 

 any farm in which he is interested, he 

 may recjuest the county committee in 

 writini; to reconsider. 



1 he iommittee will reply to his re- 

 cjuest within 1 *> days after it has been 

 received. If he is still not satisfied, he 

 tnay forward the decision of the com- 

 mittee to the state soil conservation 

 committee. He will receive the de- 

 cision of that ^'roup in 30 days after 

 filing his appeal. 



If he is not satisfied with the decision 

 of the State Committee, he can, in 1 *>
