45 SIGN CONTRACTS IN THIS TOWNSHIP Work of Obtaining Corn-Hog Contract Signers Draws to Close; ' 68 Signed Last Year. On Tuesday, the last day on which farmers could sign the AAA corn and hog contracts, Clee Hibschman, one of the committeemen for Turkey Creek township said that 45 contracts had been signed and that the total number of contracted corn acres was 1,444. Many farmers did not decide to sign until the last few days. Last year 68 corn-hog contracts were signed by farmers of this township. This decrease this year, according to the committee means that in several cases several farms instead of having separate contracts as happened last year, are under one contract. The township committee, composed of Hibschman, Russell Warner and Loren Eyer were making adjustments in the contracts to bring up the township average yield of corn per acre to the average yield, 36.7 bushels per acre, allowed this township by the AAA. The committee wants every farmer who signed a contract to have payment for every ear of corn that is coming to him. This year’s corn-hog program differs from last year’s program in several respects. This year’s program does not stipulate that corn acres taken out of production must lie idle, as was stipulated last year, but farmers are allowed to plant anything but corn on this ground. This year’s contracts change reduction in corn acerage from 20 to 10 per cent below the average annual acreage for the farm in the year 1932-33 % but again limits the maximum reduction to 30 per cent. The minimum reduction in hogs produced for market is fixed at 10 per cent compared with last year’s 25 per cent of the 1932-33 production. This year, farmers will be paid on the contracts, 35 cents a bushel on the estimated corn yield taken from production, on $12.80 an acre in this township. Last ()ear the contracts paid 30 cents a bushel on corn yield taken out of production. This year’s contracts agree to pay the farmer on the dumber of hogs not produced, at sls a head. Last year the contracts agreed to pay $5 a head on 75 per cent. This year the reduction is 10 per cent. ■ o TO SHOW PICTURE, TUESDAY One of the moving pictures of the State Conservation Board, of interest to farmers, rs the one which is to be shown in the Syracuse High School Tuesday evening at 7:30.
