§ This will be in two parts:
§ (a) There will be grants on the application to grass, including rough grazings and similar marginal land, of fertilisers 2165 acquired after 1st July, 1950, i.e., the beginning of the first stage of the removal of the present Board of Trade subsidy. The grant will be one-third of the farmer's actual expenditure on the purchase of fertilisers up to a maximum of 25s. 0d. per acre, limited in any one year to one half of the total area of grass on each farm. The grant will not be approved by the county agricultural executive committee if the area under crops on the farm is considered insufficient. Either permanent or temporary grass will be eligible, excluding grass sown as one year ley which is now regarded as a tillage crop.
§ (b) Grants on the application of fertilisers after the ploughing up of grassland of at least seven years standing. The rate will be two-thirds of the actual expenditure up to a maximum of £3 per acre.
§ These details of the schemes apply only to England and Wales; some modifications will be needed for Scotland and Northern Ireland.
