O. Put- nam, county agricultural agent. Establishment of the set-up will be- gin as soon as details of the wheat con- tract work are completed, the agent said. Putnam does not expect the corn- hog set-up to be as extensive as the wheat administration, declaring that the county probably will have only between 300 and 400 corn-hog con- tracts at the most, compared to near: ly 2,000 wheat contracts. Burleigh county is not a great pro- ducer of hogs, he said, although its corn output is considerable. ‘The county will be districted for the corn-hog plan, with each district elect- ing local committees to supervise ad- ministration. A county-wide commit- tee also will be named. Putnam plans to arrange a series of meetings throughout the county for election of the committees. After organization, farmers will make applications for corn-hog con- tracts, 20 Per Cent Reduction Payments will be made to farmers who agree to reduce their corn acre- age 20 per cent below their average for 1932 and 1933, and their hog pro- duction to 25 per cent of their aver- ages for the same years. Farmers who raise corn but not hogs may sign # contract. Likewise hog producers who grow no corn also may sign up. Farmers who raise both must agree to limit production of both. Payments to be made by the Agri- cultural Adjustment Administration to corn growers will be 30 cents a bushel on the average bushels pro-| pe: duced in 1932 and 1933 on 20 per cent of the corn land. A $5 bonus or prem- ium will be paid on all hogs raised by farmers who reduce their production 25 per cent below their 1932-1933 av- erage. Unlike the wheat contracts, which hold until 1935, the corn-hog contracts are one-year agreements. Compiling Acreage Figures Acreage and production figures for all counties in the state are being com- piled by Ben Kienholz, agricultural statistician for North Dakota, of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture bu- reau of agricultural economics. In 1932 North Dakota's corn acre- age was 1,404,000 acres and in 1933 it was 1,334,000 acres. Yields were 19 bushels per acre in 1932 and 15 bushels in 1933, making a state average of 17 bushels per acre. The number of hogs in 1932 was 751,000 head and in 1933 it was 623,000 head, making the aver- age for the state 713,300. On these bases corn adjustment payments would total about, $2,600,000 and the bonus on hogs $2,675,000. The extension service of the North Dakota agricultural college plans & series of district conferences through- out the state in the near future to provide county agents and emergency workers with complete information on the corn-hog plan.
