Wheat Benefit May Average Dollar a Bushel Reductions This Year to Be Only 15 Percent Instead of Ex pected 20 Percent. Twenty bushel wheat land taken out of production under the Triple A wheat plan will return $20 per acre in benefit payments this com ing year, W. H. Brokaw. state wheat administrator said Tuesday. Likewise fifteen bushel land would make 515 and ten bushel would make $10 per acre in benefit payments. The farmer considering the .Triple A plan can roughly estimate that he will get as many dollars per acre in benefit pay ments as he got bushels of yield as an average of the three base years. 1930 to 1932, the administrator siid. By twenty bushel wheat land Bro kaw meant land which has yielded an average of twenty bushels per acre during the years 1930 to 1932. In j some counties an adjustment factor helps actual yields. Brokaw's statement followed Wal lace's announcement from Washing ton that the reduction requested this year would be only 15 percent com pared with the maximum of 20 per cent which Nebraska farmers had been considering. In addition to certain payment of approximately $1 per bushel, the farmers who contract to reduce acre age have a chance to realize up to 51.50 per bushel cince they get the guarantee of parity price in three benefit payments during the two year period, Brokaw further explained. Should the price of wheat go up and the benefit payment go down, the farmers will receive a higher price for all of their wheat rather than the benefit payment on 54 percent of their wheat. Farmers who contract to reduce acreage will save the cash expense and the risk of getting the wheat crop on the acres they take out of wheat. The first benefit payment is to be made in two. installments, one this fall and the other before har vest time in 1934. The farmer also is allowed to seed his land to an im provement crop or 60 use it in eome other, ways not yet i definitely an- rnnnppil . "Filing days," in the meantime, are continuing in all parts of the state. Indications point to a good per centage of signers at the initial ses sions. FUNERAL OF GEORGE BLACK The funeral services of the late George H. Black were held on Thurs day afternoon at the Sattler funeral home at Fourth and Vine streets, a large number of the old friends being present. The services were conducted by Dr. H. G.
