Dawes County AAA Notes The County Committee and office personnel attended a district meeting held at Alliance, on Wednesday, September 17th. This meeting dealt with Check of Performance and Applications for Payment.

Since it will be impossible for us to secure the services of our Community teemen due to the limited budget, we are asking all co-operators in the AAA Program to either call at this office and report their approved completed practices or answer the letters we -have written promptly. Some practices need receipts show ing the amount of seed or other materials used in completing the practices and these must be on file in the County Office before that practice will qualify for payment. It is necessary that your farm report be 'signed 1 prior to making the Applications for payment as this is your certification that you are eligible for payment for the approved completed practices shown thereon. Chairman Larson points out that the fall is a good time to begin estab. lishing sod Waterways.

This is a coving er on cropland gullies or ditches. Open gullies or ditches create a serious water-erosion hazard. If they are not protected with cover, the water runoff year after year, makes them larger and finally results in destruction of entire fields. Dams and wells come under the range practices that can be carried out under the Agricultural program. All ranchers are aware that proper drinking water nearer the grass area is a valuable asset.

Terracing, Erosion and Livestock water dams, and sod waterways are practices that will still qualify for payment under the Triple A Program if approved and completed yet this fall. If interested in any of these practices contact your county office, at once. REMEMBER Sept. 30th, is the final date for paying your crop insurance premium without having to pay interest. Those having crop insurance should make note of this date.

Also remember you can still obtain Price Support Purchase Agreements: and Commodity Credit Loans on your oats, wheat and barley.
