Financial help to farmers is available in 1955 through the Government Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP). Funds are available; 
be quicker in 1955. 
Requirements and regulations differ, County to County. To receive this aid, the farmer must consult his County ACP office. Many farmers may 
not be aware of this program. Urge your customers to call at their County ACP office to learn if they are eligible for participation. We 
suggest, you as a dealer get an outline of the program for your County, so as to be able to serve your customers better. 
Where applicable, these funds in part will be used to help the farmer by sharing the cost of pasture seeds used in establishing new permanent pastures 
and cover crops. The individual ACP County Committees will prescribe the kind of seed mixtures for any specific field, or practice. Additionally where 
applicable, payments will be made for lime (for new, or old stands of legumes and grasses), and fertilizer (in connection with above payments). 
Old pastures, thinned by drouth, need thickening up. A poor pasture is more a liability than an asset.... January is a good time to broadcast 
the smaller-seeded grasses and legumes, such as Timothy, Redtop, Bluegrass, Alsike, Lespedeza, Ladino. The alternate freezing and thawing 
the large-seeded grasses, such as Brome, Orchard, Fescues, may be drilled in to a depth 
avoid broadcasting the lighter, larger-seeded grasses, as poor catches often result. ... These renovated pastures 
will work the seed into the ground. ... A little later,
