Checking Swine Before Making Final Payment

Payments for 1935 to Be Made On Same Basis As For This Year.

Pursuant to the making of final payments to farmers participating in the corn-hog control program, a committee under direction of County Agent Paul Calvin is making a final count of the hogs now in the hands of participating farmers to determine whether contracts have been fulfilled for 1934.

The count will be completed during the week, according to Mr. Calvin.

Contracts entered into for 1935 will call for a reduction of 10 per cent of the average hog population for the years 1932-33. 1934 contracts provided for a 25 per cent reduction. The same contract also calls for a reduction of from 10 to 30 per cent in corn acreage.

According to Mr. Calvin payment for hogs will be made on the same basis as for the past year. For 1934 this will amount to $2.15 per head for the number counted in 10 per cent reduction.

Announcement has also been made that the corn acres sown in the government will be on the same basis as last year paid that was 28 cents per bushel.

The new war controlled areas during 1934 were restricted to the government near and four other crops.
