PAJ3E 81X THE ENTERPRISE, ALTAMONT, N. Y-, FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1957 County wide Fire Police Association Approved No limit To Conservation Reserve Acreage Program An Albany county fire police as 1 - Epeiaibipn will be established' of- ficially Mar. 28, it was decided Hast week; by about 75 delegates from most of the county's 38 fire depart- merats, .meeting at Ravena fireball. Purpose of of the organization is to give the county representation at state conventions', work out uniform systems of operation, facilitate mu- tual aid, and' increase education. At the coming session at Boght Community fireball preliminary con- stitution and by-laws will be present- ed and permanent officers elected. Fire police are fire department mem- bers Who direct traffic, keep fire lane open and protect property and •personnel. To prepare for this session, a 19- memfoer committee under Stanley Konds of the Shaker Road-Loudon- ville Fire department will meet Mar. 14 at the Shaker Rd. fireball to formulate preliminary plans. Committee members are: Harry Metchick, Selkirk Company 2; Frank Canfield, Boght; Charles Sutter, Del- mar; Lawrence Blondell, Coeymans Hollow; Clifford' Flather, Elmere; Edward Shave, Fort Hunter; John Rapp, Fuller Rd.; Wright H. Merri- field, Guilderland; William B. Bran- don and Briggs Lucas, Knox. Also, Daniel Relihan, McKownville; Charles Felthouser, Pitt; Edward Sa- bott, West Albany Fire District; J. W. Kakule, Westmere; Ronald Russo, Coeymans; John Leonard, Onesque- thaw; Jack Sweet, Selkirk Co. 3, and Clyde Sholtes, Guilderland Center. The committee will probably 'be increased by addition of representa- tives from other companies before the meeting. To Speak At Westerlo There is no limit to the number of acres of cropland which a farmer may put under Conservation Reserve contract except the $5,000 annual payment maximum, Edward Arnheit- er, office manager of the Albany Ag- ricultural Stabilization and Conserva- tion Committee, advises. Further- more, farmers may add more land to the Conservation Reserve, up to the $5,000 annual payment maximum, during the contract period. Mr. Arnheiter gives this explana- tion to answer one o fthe most fre- quently asked questions by farmers calling at the ASC office at 337 Delaware Ave., Delmar, and at meet- ings. H».' explains that April 15 is j the closing date for signing Conser- vation Reserve contracts that become effective in 1957, and he is particu- larly desirous of getting such infor- mation to fanners before the \dead- line.\ His answer to another frequently asked question, \Can I increase the acreage I put in the Conservation Re- serve after I have signed a con- tract?\ is \Yes.\ In that case, he explains it is simply necessary for the farmer to sign a new contract covering all of the land put in the reserve. Another common question is, \How do you figure the Soil Bank base acreage for a farm?\ This is im- portant since the annual payments to the farmer -who exceeds his farm's f 9 e n ted base acreage will be reduced ac- cordingly. In general, the office manager explains, all land used for the production of crops or tame hay is \base acreage\ and eligible for the Conservation Reserve. This includes | land taken out of crops and seeded DON ROBERTSON Don Robertson, youth leader and speaker, will be at the First Baptist church, Westerlo, Wednesday, Mar. 6. Former missionary in the Far East, he is now on the staff of the Word of Life Hour and tours the United States and Canada, speaking in youth rallies and campaigns. Often referred to as a \human dynamo,\ Don Robertson is a spirit- ual leader of young people. His en- thusiasm for the gospel helps in win- ning many of the youth to Jesus Christ. \Teen-Agcr.\ Word of Life newest, sound, colored film will also be pre- Organizer of last week's session to grasses\ or legumes'sfnce 1953 \and was the Ravena department, from which the first fire police unit in Al- bany county was created. Con- ducting the meeting were Raymond Bailey, fire commissioner; Clayton Miller, head of Ravena fire police, and James Tiberia, squad captain. Charles Sutter, a representative of the Delmar department, said estab- land in regular crop rotation the year before the Conservation Reserve con- tract is., signed. It also includes land from which tame hay was harvested in the two years before the con- tract is signed. Crops not considered in determin- ing a farm's base acreage are: Any crop grown only for cover, green EVENTS TO COME .^P^L 0 !,* l^Jl^LTil ^ I manure'\or\ pastW\when^n'ot & par't been discussed by fire officials and one may soon be organized.

The farmer who delays signing up for the Conservation Reserve pro- gram on the assumption that he will build up his \'base acreage\ before Signing a contract may be disappoint- ed. The caution comes from R. Al- ton Pitcher, chairman of the Albany ASC County Committee. One reason i,for this is that total funds available jfor the program each year of its op- •esaM^i •are.Jirmted. As riiore -tarna- l 6ra afagn contracts, a greater share of •total available funds will go to make annual payments and less will be available for payments on new con- tracts. Another point which farmers should have in mind, the chairman explains', is that the buildup of crop history for the Conservation Reserve is slow. The base for determining the reduction of land producing crops oh a farm is the average from 1955 to the year in which the contract is signed. -Each year an additional year becomes a part of the average used in establishing the Soil Bank base acreage for a farm. In general, Chairman Pitcher points out, the farmer can get little if any advantage by delay in signing up in the Conservation Reserve arid he is running the risk of specific dis- advantages. He urges careful con- sideration of all points by farmers before they make their decisions.
