With stocks of domestic clovers and alfalfas scarce and prices relatively high, the above pay¬ 
ments should encourage the increased use of other legumes and grasses which are still comparatively 
moderately priced. 
LATEST REPORT FROM WASHINGTON STATES: 
“A study of program as authorized to date indicates that while their sowing European Red Clover could 
not qualify in the north central region for the general conserving payment of three dollars an acre nor 
for the soil-building payment of two dollars for sowing adapted red clover seed they could qualify for the 
general diversion payment of six dollars for diverting from a soil depleting crop provided they complied with 
the other provisions of the program”
