On Continuation Program
On May 25, all wheat growers in
Blaine county, as well as those over the
entire United States will have an oppor-
tunity to vote as to whether or not
they wish to have a production control
program in the future.
Everyone who has been connected
with the present program knows that
there are many adjustments that can
and no doubt will be made if the grow-
ers desire to continue with a production
control program.
The present wheat contract has been
an attempt on the part of the Govern-
ment to raise the farmers purchasing
power as well as to assist in eliminating
surpluses of wheat that have a depress.
ing effect on the price. The only in-
come many farmers had in 1934 was the
benefit payments they received from
their wheat contracts, which proves
there is a crop insurance feature to the
program.
On May 25th, both wheat contract
signers as well as non-signers will go
to the polls and express their desire
through their vote as to what they wish
in the ways of future agricultural
legislation, if any.
It is the desire of the Blaine County
Allotment Committee that every wheat
producer in the county cast his or her
vote on May 25th. as it is their opinion
this referendum to be taken the last
Saturday in May is as important to the
wheat grower as any elec-
tion ever held.
