Corn-Hog Compliance
Corn-hog supervisors received their
training at a srhcol of instruction
conducted by the County Agent
Thursday and Friday of last week
and on Monday began the task of
checking the farms in their precinct
for compliance vith the corn-hog
contract. The work will progress
steadily for the next few days until
all of the contracts have been
checked.
Proof of compliance at this lime
will entitle the contract signers to
their second installment of about 15
cents per bushel on their corn tnd
$1.00 per head on their hogs. A
final check of compliance on hogs
immediately after December 1 will
entitle the signers to their last in
stallment of about $2.00 per head on
hogs if they show that they have
fulfilled their contract. Costs of local
administration of the corn-hog asso
ciation will ccme out of the last 15
cents on corn and the lact $2.00 on
hogs.
Because of the drouth, several
modifications have been made in the
original plans to check compliance.
Very little, if any, of the tern will
bo measured in this county, and re
cent rulings have modified the re
strictions on feeder pigs to some ex
tent. Supervisors will be able to get
the job done at cue-fourth to one
third of the expense that would have
been incurred by the local association
if crops had been good and all of the
rulings had been followed without
modification. Every effort is being
made by the county allotment com
mittee and the state corn-hog admin
istration to hold the expenses of the
compliance program to a minimum.
In many cases farmers who can
net definitely show compliance at
this time may be able to clear up the
problems within the next few weeks
so that their blanks can be approved
and sent to Washington. In all cases
farmers have until the end of the
year to finally prove their compliance
on hogs. Any signer with a particu
lar problem will be taken care of in
dividually by the aloltment commit
tee and every effort will be made to
help alj contract signers with the
compliance.
Wheat Reduction to Be
Ten Per Cent in 1S34.
Wheat contract signers will be
asked to lay out of production ten
per cent of their base wheat acreage
as determined on their contracts.
They can plant up to 90 per cent of
their wheat base for the harvest of
1935.
This announcement was made last
week end by Secretary Wallace fol
lowing the failure of the London con
ference to come to any agreement sat
isfactory to the major wheat grow
ing countries. Wallace had prev
iously announced that the acreage re
duction might be as high as 15 per
cent. County allotment committees
in Nebraska counties will notify
their contract signers regarding the
official figure..
Modifications due to the drouth
permit both wheat and corn-hog con
tract signers to plant as much wheat
and rye this fall as they wish to
plant for pasture or to hold the soil
from blowing. If moisture conditions
are favorable between now and the
middle of October, thousands of acres
cf land in the drouth territory will
probably bo seeded to prever:t wind
from blowing the top soil away
Rye and wheat are the best crops for
this purpose.
Under the rulings of the corn-hog
and wheat program, signers of these
contracts can not save the extra
acres of wheat for harvest in 19C5.
Under the wheat program they tan
riant up to 90 per cent of their base
ccrcagD and under the corn-hog pro
gram they can plant as much as their
wheat contract permits, or if they
have no wheat contract, as many
rcres for harvest as grain in 1935
rs they planted in the fall of 1932
tr 1932, whichever acreage was
higher in those two years.
Achievement Days.
Many of the 4-H clufcrj in the coun
ty have completed their summer
work and have held their achieve
ment program. Clubs who wish to
award their certificates of achieve
ment to club members and have their
real attached to their charter at this
tim? of their program should get
their reports and leader's summary
to this effice at least two weeks be
fore the date of the program.
Many of the clubs have already
fled their final reports which are
tine on or before the 1st of Septem
ber. Coin-Hog Statistics.
A summary cf the official figures
For Sale

Searl S. Davis
Platts. State Bank Eldg.
in th-2 state corn-hog administration
office in Lincoln shows that Nebras
ka farmers have filled out 92,419
contracts. Practically all of these
contracts are now being signed.
Total benefit payments from the
92 thousand contracts will be over
30 million dollars. Of this amount
approximately 13Vi million will rep
resent com benefits and almost 17
million the hog benefit payment.
The average benefit payment per
contract is 32S.00. In many cases
thi3 money will be practically all
that will be received from the 1934
corn crop and in som; cases will rep
resent most of the returns for the
farm family to live on during the
coming winter.
The value of the 1934 crop which
will be harvested as grain is now es
timated at less than ten million dol
lars. This is the gross return from
70 to SO per cent of the corn land
which was planted and intended for
grain. The other 20 per cent of corn
land laid cut of production as con
'racted acres will return over 13 mil
lion dollars.
As in the case of wheat, the corn
benefit payments will represent the
greatest crop insurance payment Ne
braska farmers have ever had.
So far in 1934 the price of corn has
been too high to allow many hog
producers to realize a profit on hogs
marketed this year. This means that
the 17 million dollars of hog benefit
payment may be more than the net
profit on all of the hogs produced in
the state in 17934. A radical change
in the ccrn-hog ration wheih would
make it profitable to feed corn to
hogs might change this statement
before the year is over.
Cass County Fair,
Plans are rapidly being perfect
ed for the fourteenth annual county
fair to be held at Weeping Water,
September 11, 12, 13 and 14. De
partment superintendents will glad
ly welcome any exhibits which you
may contribute, in helping to make
the fair a success.
