Contarets M%&;gk to Farms,. Benefit payments made by the ‘government for reduction of ‘corn and hog production will mean ready cash for the farmers of N(ib{e county who take part in the program offered by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration according to M. A. Nye, Noble county agricultural agent. =~ Payments ‘of 30 cents.a bushel will be made on the number of acres confracted to the government in 1934 under the corn-hog adjusiment con‘racts. If a farmer’s “retired’ corn acres have produced an average of 30 bushels to the acre during 1932 and 1933 he will be entitled to bene{it payments of $9 per acre, If the 20 per cent reduction equals ten acres for example the farmer’s total corn acreage payments for 1930 will be $9O minus local association expesne. i Hog adjustment payments will amount to $56 a head on 75 per cent of the average number farrowed and marketed during the past two years If a farmer has raised and sold an average of 100 hogs during the ycars of 1932 and 1933, he is entifled to ~aise and sell 75 hogs for 1934. And his benefit payemnts at $5 a head on ‘hese 75 will total $375 minus necssary expenses. .

One-half of the corn payemnt, or 15 cents a bushel will be paid as soon as possible after the reduction econtracts have bheeh accepted by the seeretary of agriculture, and the remaining one-half or about 15 cents a bushel in the fall of 1934. Two-fifths of the hog payments or $3 a head will be paid.as soon as possible after aeceptance of the contracts; $i per head after Novemeber 1934 and the remain der of approximately $2 a head about February 1 1935.

The corn-hog adjustment plan does not regulate a farmer’s sale of the corn he raises on the 80 per ceni of hig past acreage, or the sale of the hogs he raises under his 7p per cent quota. He may market his corn and where pleases. gy

Big Boost in Bank Deposits . Bank deposits have shown increases ranging upward to 50 per cent since government deposit insurance went into effect Jan. 1 a United Press Rationwide survey showed. Reporte from all sections of the country told of hoarders’taking their savings from insecure hiding-places to ‘receiving tellers. Some secctions reported withdrawals from postal savings and coma mercial banks. Many bankers reported the gains ag due primarily to government guarantee of deposits up to $2,500. Universal confidence was reflecteg in the answers. i

CHANGES JUST BEGUN . .

Sécretary of Agriculture Wallace Says Far-reaching Hc;h&a:ges Must Be

The American people have not yet comprehended the full extent of the changes they must go through either in the way of acreage reduction on the one hand or increased imports on the other,” Secretary of Agriculture Wallace told the United Press in an interview: discussing the problems of the farm. ‘

‘Wallace is a vigorously outspoken executive. He has tackled a problem which defeated. the best minds three republican administrations were able to bring. to it. , “We have been postponing making up our minds sfhce the war,” Wallace. said across his big flat topped desk in the agriculture department building. “We can’t delay much longer. The people of this country must find out what all this is about and make up their mindg on it.

“I hope the peoplel have the determination to go through with the policy: The farmer thus far has done a remarkable job. L “The danger I see is that some of the people who are affected by the processing tax may get it into their heads to start a drive against processing taxes without being willing to go down the line on an eflective substitute. . 'Wallace has his own ideas of the manner in which agriculture should work itself out of a corner but he is not committed to an exgent that rules out the ideas of others. What he chiefly insists upon is that the American people make up their minds on something and stick to it. Discussing an effective substitute for the processing tax, Wallace suggested there were five alternatives: 1. Taking from the general treasury money for, benefit payments in consideration of control of production,

2. An extensive program of government land purchase. 3. A sufficiently great increase in imports to take care of the interest on debts owed the Uniteq Staes by foreign nations ang foreign nationals and \in addition to pay us a decent price for our surplus cotton, wheat, larq and tobacco. 4. Price fixing accompanied by licensing of every plowed field and compulsory control of every farmer’s narketing with rigiq differentials between domestic markets.

5. Let things drift as they drifted in 1931-.32. - B

The secretary used the period 1931 -32 Dbecause he feels the lack of 2 genuine foreign demangd theretofore wag hidden from the country by aveiage annual foreign loans in excess of $1,000,000,000 a year. Wallace believes the country should continue with the processing tax until some one of the first four alterantives or some combination of them has commended itself to the American people and to congress so that they are willing to embrace such policy sulficiently to obtain aécomplishment of the work now being doen by the processing tax. ’

A. B. MIER IN TRIBUNE.

Tells of History of the Mier Family -in the Banking Busines for : Seventy-five Years, 1

Under the heading of Letters of not more than 200 words the following appeared in the Chicago Tribune under the date of January 15. “‘Ligonier, Ind., Jan 9—ln your article, “Family Bankers,” in the Tribune, Jan. 9, I believe you missed one of the outstanding institutions in the banking world. I call this to your attention think would be pleased to give the “Mier family” the publicity they are entitled to in your good paper, which has been taken by the family for many years. “For 75 years known throughout lidiana as Mier bank; started in 1859 by Solomon Mier as S. Mier bank; continued until 1880, changed 10 Banking House of Sol Mier; continued until 1890, changed to Banking House of Sol Mier & Son (the writer admitted to a partnership); continued until 1905, changed to the Mier State bank; continued until 1928, chang&{:o American State Bank, its present “wame. g

“For 75 years the bank has been conducted by some member of the Mier family. In 75 years the Mier bank has never had a rediscount or borrowed any money. During the bank holiday early in 1933 all of the banks in the surround:ng counties jcined the moratorium and their deposits were restricted. This bank did not sign with any moratorium,-but paid its depositors without any restrictions. They are now members of the federal deposit insurance but did not sell any preference stock; did not require any changes to get in. We haye not gone into this pexfmanently‘, but will decide on that aflerwards. We desire to see how things progress. Personally we cannot see why a well managed bank should be weakenéd by one that is mismanaged. C : el ts o G B Moy !
