This bulletin includes all the provisions of said 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program Bulletin, as amended, and of said 1938 Range Conservation Program Bulletin, as amended, which are applicable in the State of Arizona, together with certain of the determinations authorized therein to be made by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration or the Director of the Western Division. The provisions of such National Bulletins which do not apply to this State have not been included herein and the words "not applicable" appear in lieu thereof. The provisions of the 1938 Agricultural and Range Conservation Programs are necessarily subject to such legislation affecting said programs as the Congress of the United States may hereafter enact; the making of the payments and grants of aid herein provided are contingent upon such appropriation as the Congress may hereafter provide for such purpose; and the amounts of such payments and grants of aid will necessarily be within the limits finally determined by such appropriation, the apportionment of such appropriation under the provisions of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act as amended, and the extent of national participation. Under the provisions of Section 105 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, payments under the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program, based on soil-depleting crops for which special acreage allotments are esetablished, shall be made at not less than 90 percent of the rates specified in the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program Bulletin (ÂCP-1938) approved October 23, 1937. The rates specified herein with respect to potatoes are 90 percent of the rates approved for this commodity on October 23, 1937, and therefore will not be decreased. As an adjustment for participation the rates of payment and deduction with respect to each other commodity or item of payment may be decreased, and the rates of payment and deduction with respect to any commodity or item of payment may be increased, by as much as 10 percent. The provisions of the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program and the 1938 Range Conservation Program are not applicable in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA JUL 2 2 1938 INTRODUCTION 3 the State of Arizona to public domain of the United States, including land owned by the United States and administered under the Taylor Grazing Act or by the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, and other lands in which the beneficial ownership is in the United States. In any county for which a special agricultural or range conservation program under Section 8 of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act is approved for 1938 by the Secretary, the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program or the 1938 Range Conservation Program, as the case may be, shall not be applicable. Part I. 1938 AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM Section I. NATIONAL AND STATE ACREAGE ALLOTMENTS AND GOALS A. NATIONAL GOALS The national goals in connection with the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program shall be as follows: 1. The following acreages of soil-depleting crops: 2. The seeding and maintenance of soil-conserving crops on the cropland not required in 1938 for the growing of soil-depleting crops; the restoration, insofar as is practicable, of a permanent vegetative cover on 6,000,000 acres of land unsuited to the continued production of cultivated crops; and the carrying out of soil-building practices that will preserve and improve soil fertility and prevent wind and water erosion. B. NATIONAL AND STATE ACREAGE ALLOTMENTS AND RESTORATION LAND GOALS National and State acreage allotments of soil-depleting crops and State restoration land goals will be determined by the Secretary. Section II. COUNTY ACREAGE ALLOTMENTS AND GOALS A. COUNTY ACREAGE ALLOTMENTS OF SOIL-DEPLETING CROPS The Agricultural Adjustment Administration with the assistance of the State committee shall establish county acreage allotments for total soil-depleting crops, and for cotton and wheat as hereinafter set forth. The soil-depleting acreage allotments for all counties in the State shall not exceed the applicable acreage allotment established for the State by the Secretary except as otherwise provided in this bulletin. 1. Total soil-depleting acreage allotments.-County acreage allotments of total soil-depleting crops shall be established by dis tributing the State. acreage allotment of total soil-depleting crops among the counties in the State on the basis of the average acreage of soil-depleting crops grown in such counties in whichever of the periods of five or more consecutive years since 1927 the Agricultural Adjustment Administration finds is most representative of normal conditions and the base acreages of total soil-depleting crops established in connection with the 1937 Agricultural Conservation Program, adjusted where necessary for farms for which provision was hot made in 1937, with due allowance for trends in acreage of soildepleting crops, farms for which the general crop acreage allotment will be as large as the usual acreage of general soil-depleting crops, and the relationship of the usual acreage of individual soil-depleting crops to the 1938 acreage allotments in counties where allotments for individual soil-depleting crops are established.. 2. Cotton acreage allotments.-(a) County acreage allotments for cotton shall be determined as follows: The State acreage allotment of cotton (less 2 percent or such smaller part thereof as the Agricultural Adjustment Administration determines shall be required in the State in making allotments to farms on which cotton will be planted in 1938, but on which cotton was not planted in any of the years 1935, 1936, and 1937), shall be prorated among the counties in the State on the basis of the acreage planted to cotton during the five years, 1933 to 1937, inclusive, plus, in the applicable years, the acreage diverted from the production of cotton under agricultural adjustment and conservation programs; Provided, That there shall be added to the acreage allotment for each county so determined the Lumber of acres, if any, required to provide an acreage allotment in such county of not less than 60 percent of the sum of (1) the acreage planted to cotton in such county in 1937, and (2) the acreage therein diverted from the production of cotton in 1937 under the agricultural conservation program. (b) In any county where the Agricultural Adjustment Administration finds that there are one or more administrative areas which, because of differences in types, kinds, and productivity of the soil or other conditions should be treated separately in order to prevent discrimination, the county acreage allotment shall be apportioned pro rata among such administrative areas on the basis of the acreage planted to cotton in 1937 plus the acreage diverted from_the production of cotton under the 1937 Agricultural Conservation Program, or, if the Agricultural Adjustment Administration determines that conditions affecting the acreage planted to cotton were not reasonably uniform throughout the county in 1937, then on the basis of the cotton soil-depleting base acreages established under the 1937 Agricultural Conservation Program, allotments to the farms within each such administrative area shall be made by distributing the allotment for such administrative area in the manner provided in Section III for the apportionment of cotton county acreage allotments among farms. 3. Not applicable. 4. Wheat acreage allotments.-County acreage allotments of wheat shall be established by distributing the State acreage allotment of wheat among the counties in the State pro rata on the basis of the acreage of wheat seeded for the production of wheat during the |
