new program had not been finaliz

farmers should contact the Author
ity as soon as possible since
nursery stock should be ordered
within the next few weeks.
He added that only bona fide
farmers are eligible for the trees,
which must be planted according to
adesignapprovedbytheMVCA. A
variety of species will be available,
