Consider Contracted Acres As Rented To Government Land taken out of corn under the corn hog contract cannot be used to produce a crop to be marketed either directly or indirectly, nor cun feed be grown on the land if that feed is used instead of feed that would be grown on other land. There are general regula tions of the Secretary of Agriculture which govern the use of all land under Adjustment contracts, whether cotton wheat or corn. If, for example, a farmer plants the land taken out of corn to grass or clover and then uses the pasture for cattle or hogs, he is marketing the pasture indirectly thru the livestock, and breaking his agreement. If the farmer pastures his work horses on the grass or clover, the horses will not be eating grass, hay, or grain produced on other land. The farmer would therefore be relieving other land for the production of other feed or grains either on his own farm or some other farm. He would be breaking the contract. Nebraska corn-hog administrators cannot see how farmers can get around these two provisions. For all practical purposes the land taken out of corn is out of production for the 1934 harvest. Many farmers regard the corn ben fit payments ns cash rent for the land taken out of corn. They would not think of renting some of their land to an individual for cash and then rais ing a crop on the land. They believe that is the spirit of the corn-hog re duction idea. These farmers intend to seed the land down to clover, alfalfa, perman ent pasture, plant some to trees, fal low some to kill weeds or store up moisture and handle the land in other ways to put it into good shape to pro duce a crop in 1935. They will use the benefit payments to pay the taxes and interest and help keep up their farm expenses. CITY COUNCIL O’Neill, Nebraska, Dee. 5, 1833. Council met in regular session.
