Corn-Hog Program
Up To Schedule
Nebraska farmers are two weeks
ahead of last year in their sign-up
for corn-hog contracts according to
the indications from over the state
being summarized in Lincoln each
week end. Some counties are a
month ahead of their record for
1934.
Members of the state corn-hog
committee and state board of re
view in Lincoln Saturday said they
expected the state as a whole to
stay on schedule so that farmers
will have their contracts to sign at
corn planting time.
Individual cases involving
changes from last year orliew land
and new hog bases may be delayed
slightly, but the majority of sign
ers should know what their 1935
contract says before they finish
planting corn.
Community Committeemen sjre
being elected in all asociations of
the state and will begin appraising
the cornland within the next few
days in the first counties. All of
the committeemen are farmers who
want to get the appraisal work out
of the way before spring work be
gins on their own farms. They will
visit the farm of each signer and
look over the land that has been in
corn at least once in the last five
years. The appraisal is based upon
the average production of the ten
year period, 1924-’33. The crop
failure of 1934 does not affect the
yield entered on the 1935 contract.
Office work on the applications,
contracts, and other related farms
will occupy the time of the clerks
in the county association office for
several days. County and precinct
figures are to be approved by the
state board, of review before in
dividual figures can be entered on
each contract. This office work will
be done while the farmers are busy
with their early spring work. Con
tracts will be finished and made
ready for signatures before they
Friday and Saturday

are again called to the attention of

Farmers who signed last year
and who will continue a contract
on the same land in 1935 can find
out what their corn and hog bases
for 1935 are to be when they sign
1935 application blanks.
A Year’s Experience
vs. A Bugaboo Scare
“Farmers of this county who are
now thinking about signing the
1935 corn-hog contract need not
worry about a clause in it which
gives the Secretary of Agriculture
the power to make additional ad
ministrative rulings during the
year,” R. H. Lienhart, president of
the county corn-hog association
says.
“We have had a year’s experi
ence with such ruling,” Mr. Lien
hart declared. “Exactly the same
clause was in the 1934 contract
and worked no hardships on any
signer in this county.”
A few questions and answers
may clear up the situation.
1. Why did the Secretary make
additional rulings in 1934? Ans.
Because the signers asked him to
do so.
2. Why were signers interested
in additional rulings? Ans. Be
cause of the drouth, and because
problems came up during the year
which were not clearly explained in
the contract.
3. Did the Secretary make a new
ruling cover every request he re
ceived? Ans. No. He considered
the request and handled, it in the
interests of the majority of the
signers in the entire country.
4. Would a rigid iron-clad con
tract, drawn in December, 1933,
and which could not have been
changed for 12 months, have been
satisfactory to over a million sign
ers in 1934? Ans. No. If such
a contract had been enforced last
year, no one would have signed one
like it in 1935.
5. Who supervised compliance
with the 1934 contract? Ans. Local
men employed by the country corn
hog association. Practically all of
them were farmers and contract
signers.
0. What were they asked, to do ?
Ans. Report the facts as they found
them on the farms of the signers.
7. Who approved these reports?
Ans. The county allotment com
mittee, three farmers who live here
all the time.
8. Were the allotment commit
teemen permitted to exercise their
common sense and good judgment
or did they have to follow every
little technicality of every ruling?
Ans. They were encouraged to ap
prove the reports of compliance ac
cording to the fundamental prin
ciples of the 1934 program and to
make their recommendations in all
cases of partial compliance.
9. Under this kind of manage
ment, what percentage of the 90,000
Nebraska contract signers complied
with their 1934 contracts? Ans.
Over 98 per cent.
10. Which is a better guide in
1935—a bugaboo scare or a year’s
experience? Ans. A year’s exper
ience.
Wheat Program
Most Nebraska wheat allotment
associations prefer to check c<mii
pliance with the 1935 wheat con
tract in April and May, according
to reports into the state office at
Lincoln. A few associations are
particularly anxious to get the
wheat acreage measured as soon
as possible in order to take care
of extra acres planted for pasture.
Compliance forms and instruc
tiona from the Wheat Section at
Washington have not yet arrived in
Nebraska but representatives ol
the national office said the mater
ials would be finished as quickly
as possible and should be available
in the state in March. District
conferences and county schools will
be held immediately to help associ
ations and supervisors start the
compliance program Uniformity
in the proceedure over the entire
state will be required again this
year.
The wheat contract which about
35,000 Nebraska wheat growers
signed in the fall of 1033, covered
two crop years, the harvests of
1934 and 1935. Signers were asked
to reduce their wheat seedings 15
percent below their base the first
year, and ten per cent below the
same base this year. The land
taken out of wheat may be used
this year for pasture and forage,
but no grain or seed production.
In return for this agreement, bene
fit payments are being made which
will total about as much as the
gross returns from the small wheat
crop harvested in'the state in 1934.
In eastern Nebraska counties
many farmers seeded extra acres
of wheat last fall for pasture and
intend to cut it for hay or destroy
it in some other way this spring
to comply with their wheat con
tracts. This procedure was ap
proved by the Wheat Section on
account of the drouth. In western
Nebraska, conditions were unfavor
able for the seeding of wheat last
fall and signers in that part of the
state may ask for a waiver of the
requirement to playt a certain
acreage of wheat under the con
tract. During the two years, the
wheat contract has been modified to
fit the emergency conditions which
arose without working a hardship
on any group of signers. Coopera
tion and compliance with the pro

SOAP COMPANY
OCT OF BUSINESS
When I was a lad I remember
the advertisements of Pears Soap.
These advertisments were every
where in newspapers and maga
zines. Pears soap reached an enor
mous sale in the country and made
some men rich. Then the company
reversed its policy.
It is said, the company came into
the control of men who said Pears
Soap had been advertised enough
and that everyone knew about it.
It went out of business and prob-1
ably one could not buy a cake of
soap in the whole country.
Honest advertising pays when
intelligently done. The local news
paper is the servant of the alert
business man. Its pages are read
by everyone. Live displays of mer
chandise telling of quality and
price will attract the people who
need things. To avoid the adver
tising columns of a newspaper does
not hurt the paper nearly ns much
as it hurts the merchant. Adver
tisers do not talk to a crowd but
a procession. Girls who were play
ing years ago are now marketing
for their own families. Advertising
does pay and there is no better
place for advertisements than in
the local newspapers.—North Platte
Tribune.
