TOOL, Clerk Wheat Signers ait on Compli ance Forms Will Check With the 1935 Con tracts in April or May in" Nebraska. Most Nebraska wheat allotment associations prefer to check compli ance with tbel3S wheat contract in April and' May, according to re ports coming in to the state AAA of fice in Lincoln. A few are particu larly anxious to get the wheat acre age measured as soon as possible, in order to take care of extra acres planted for pasture. Compliance forms and instructions from the wheat section in Washing ton have not jet arrived in Nebras ka, but representatives of the nation al office say these will be available early in March. District conferences and county schools will then be held to help associations and supervisors start the compliance program. Uni formity in procedure thruout the stata will be required. The wheat contract which 35,000 Nebraska growers signed in the fall if 1S33, covers two crop years, the harvests of 1934 and 1925. Signers were asked to reduce their wheat secdings 15 percent below their base the first year and 10 percent below the same base this year. Land taken out cf wheat may be used this year for pasture and forage but not for crrain cr seed production. In return, benefit payments are being made which will total about as much as the gross rcttirns from the small wheat crop harvested in Nebraska in 1931. IIAHVES IS FOUND GUILTY Hastings, Neb.
