Use of Abandoned
Winter Wheat Land
Land on which winter wheat kills
can he planted to any of the feed crops
hut not to corn, according to n new
ruling from the corn-hog section in
Washington. The ruling No. 37, a
mends section 3 of the corn-hog con
tract to permit farmers who have
abandoned winter wheat land to use it
for oats, barley, the grain sorghums,
and similar feed crops.
Heretofore the corn-hog contract
said that the farmer who signed the
contract could not increase the acres
of feed crops other than corn and hay
on his land in 1934 above the average
of these feed crops in 1932 or 1933,
whichever was large. The new admin
istrative ruling allows him to increase
the acres of feed crops only in case
his wheat winter kills.
The problem of handling abandoned
winter wheat land is not as serious
now as it seemed to be a few weeks
ago, the Nebraska corn-hog adminis
tration feels. It will be possible for
farmers to sign up the first part of
their corn-hog contract during Feb
ruary or March, and then wait until
some time later to sign up the last and
binding part of the contract. Signing
up the first part of the corn-hog con
tract is the same as making out an
application blank in the wheat adjust
ment program. The figures which the
farmer turns in on his corn-hog con
Iract ure considered by the corn-hog
allotment committee, the contracted
acres are visited and appraised, all of
the non-signers in the county are can
vassed, and the county totals ure sum
marized before the farmers are asked
to sign the contract again to make it
a binding agreement. All of this work
will take time and the furrner will
hnve that time to watch his winter
wheat crop and decide whether or not
he will have any abandoned acreage.
In other words, it is likely to be seed
ing time for small grains at least be
fore the farmer will be asked to sign
the latter part of the corn-hog contract.
