By United Press + WASHINGTON, Oct. 23—The nation’s farmers today began fo receive their government checks for

co-operating with the Agricultural |

Adjustment Administration's efforts to halt depletion of soil resources. The flow of benefit checks from Treasury disbursing offices started ‘as a mere trickle of payments to 102 farmers, but it marked the beginning of the government's second ef.Jort to couple farm relief with a program of crop regulation and soil conservation. Critics charged the. Administration was making * political capital out of the farm payments.’ The AAA replied that less than‘ 1 per cent of the $470,000,000 appropriated for the program by Congress ‘will be dent to farmers this montn. More than 6,000,000 farm owners and operators are expected to participate in the 1936 program, which : was passed by Congress _after-. the { Supreme Court held invalid the

i former AAA program which provid-1

: ed merely for production control of } major crops by the government. First Payments Total $8800 The first block of 102 checks totaled $8836, and were sent to farmers in Pennsylvania and Maine. In addition, 364 applications for payment td other farmers in New York, Connecticut,, Pennsylvania and Maine. have been approved by the AAA and the general accounting ; office, and checks will be mailed as , Soon: as they are written by the + Treasury, probably within three ys. AAA officials said other payments "probably will be made within the * next 10 days—prior to the Nov. 3 . election—in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, . North Dakota, Mississippi, Louisi‘ana, Tennessee and Delaware. They insisted, however; that the , Yolume of payments before election Swill be comparatively small, and dhat the bulk of the checks will be ‘mailed in late November, December and early January; The total of 468 . applications “which have been approved for payment and forwarded to the Treasury | disbursing office is’ $38,613. This is an average of slightly more than $79 per check, which AAA officials said. Will be typical of the average for the nation as a whole.

Sponsors of Proposed State Constitutional Change Explain Purpose.

Rumors that the proposed state constitutional amendment, which would the conscript every able- pi in the state into the National Guard. were spiked today by amendment Sponsors. 1 They declared the only difference between the amendment and the existing constitutional provision is that the amendment drops the word “white” ‘from the original phrase “all able-bodied white male pers: sons.” Voters are to ballot on the amendment af the general election Nov. 3.' It states: “The militia shall consist of all able-bodied male per« sons between the ages of 18 and 45 except such as may be exempted by the laws of the United States, or of this state, and shall be organized, officered, armed, equipped and trained, in such manher as may be provided by law.” ; Technically: every white male now comes under provisions of the press ent. constitutional provision, Atty, Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. said. The Lege islature, however, has divided the militia. into “sedentary”. and “ace tive” groups, The active members, he said, en« rdll in the National Guard and perform military service, but the

sedentary’ group is not called upon

for active duty except in case of war.
