farmers will receive more than
23.8 million as payments for land
placed in the soil bank acreage re-
serve program-. Bob Cherry, ex-
tension economist, says that a to-
tal of 63,672 agreements were
signed in Texas before the July 27
deadline.
Under the acreage reserve pro-

acre of land retired from the pro-

specified percentage of their al-
lotments. The program is design-
ed to aid soil improvement and re-
duce surplus production, points
out Cherry.

sion district 8 in central Texas
and district 10, south-central,
were other areas of heavy sign up.
