SHOW ELIGIBILITY TO SIGN
THE 1935 CORN-HOG CONTRACT
All elidible producers of com and
hogs will have opportunity to sign
the 1935 corn-hog contract, whether
they took part in the 1934 corn-
hog production adjustment pro
gram or not. according to L. R
Langley, County Agent.
Those eligible to sign the 1935
contract include persons owning
and operating their own farms, and
tenants operating farms on a cash
rent or a fixed share agreement.
In the case of farms rented on a
crop or stock share lease or agree
ment, the contract is signed by
both the tenant and the landlord.
The eligibility in all cases will
bv determined by the county allot
ment committee in accordance with
instructions Issued by the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration and
subject to the approval of the Secre
tary of Agriculture. The allotment
committee will determine whether
the applicant for a 1935 contract is
a bona fide producer and qualified
to sign and to icceire adjustment
payments.
The base period for the 1935 con
tract will be the same as for the
1934 contract, the two years 1932
and 1933 The contract will require
hog adjustments to 10 percent below
the base-period production, with
benefit payment? of $15 per head
on the number represented by the
10 percent adjustment. Not mode
than 10 percent reduction in com
acreage below the 1932-33 base will
be required in the 1935 contract but
optional adjustments of as much as
30 percent will be allowed and on
these adjustments benefit payments
of 35 cents per bushel will be paid.
The corn yield to be used in
figuring benefit* is the adjusted
estimated yield for all land In the
farm which has been planted to
com at least once in tire last five
yea-*s.
Last year, more than three mil
lion farmers, in some four thousand
fanners' county production control
associations, took part in adjust
ment programs, according to L R
Langley, county agent. And while
those farmers were using the pro
visions of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act for reducing their pro
duction of the vatic.i* commodities
in 1934, they will use the same ma
chinery for controlled expansion in
if»35 Hp says.
The TT'crease in co* ion production
this year w*ii amount to 25 per
cent over that planted last season
by cooperating farmers. The total
rental and benefit payments
farmers who take part in the cotton
program is estimated at 94 million
dollars. This will be the third year
farmers of the South have adjusted
the cotton crop.
The cum-hog program for this
year provides for expanding both
aim and hog p.*>duction above the
production levels established last
year. Under contracts, to be offered
eligible farmers in a few days
the maximum com acreage that may
be planted this year is 90 percent
of ihc base acreage. Adjustment
officials hay that maximum repre
sent* an increase of about one-eighth
over the maximum last year, and
they figure that acreage will permit J, \ t spr ,
the production of about 250 million
bushels of com over the reduced
requirements for livestock feeding,
with which our present depleted
feed reserves may be replenished.
Th six kinds of tobacco for which
adjustment programs were in ef
fect last year will have adjustment
programs in effect this year. This i
year’s tobacco programs permit to
bacco growers to increase their pro
duction above the contract require
ments of last year from 5 percent to
as much as 15 percent oi the base
acreage, depending on the type of
COUNTY UmS UNDER
F1KE m MART STATE
Long under fire from political
scientists and those who would
drastically reduce the 175,418 units
of government of the United States,
the county unit has become an ac
tive issue in many states.
In many of the 43 states whose
legislatures hold regular sessions in
January the question of county re
organization will be considered. Sev
eral states have already balkrted
upon changes in the form of county
government. Triumphs were no#
recorded in every case, but the gen
eral success of the measures has
greatly encouraged those interested
in the move.
It is estimated that 107,C99 of the
175,418 units of government in the
country hold direct taxing power.
They include the 48 states, 3,057
counties. 18,389 cities, village*
towns and boroughs, 19,980 town
ships. 125.827 district* and 2.598
miscellaneous divisions.

Changes in the county government
system are proceeding along five
lines: Change in the form of gov
ernment by centralization of au-j
thority; change in the aera of gov
ernment by consolidation of two or
more counties; change in the func
tions of government by a shift of
county institutions; abolition of
counties and townships, giving state
control, and Improvement in admin
istrative systems through use of cen-1
tral purchasing, mddern budget
plans improved tax assessments and
collections, modern engineering
systems and civil service.
The general campaign to simplify
county rule is proceeding on two
extensive fronts. The first is the
rural-county attack. The other is
the urban-county movement Hr
which the large cities of the coun
try seek to abolish or consolidate
the county governments within their
limits.

ASK MILLION DOLLARS __
TO FIGHT SCREW WORM
Florid* Congressman Asks An Ap

Appropriation of federal funds to
battle the screw worm menace to
livestock in the south is sought in
both the senate and house.
Representative Green, of Florida,
introduced a bill calling for an ex
penditure of $1,000,000 for eradica
tion work. Senator George, demo
crat. of Georgia, previously had
offered in the senate a measure to
authorize $200,000.
The Floridian’s measure, which
also sought funds to control the cat
tle tick infestation, read:
“That there is hereby appropriat
ed, out of any money in the treasury
not otherwise appropriated, the sum
of $2,000,000, to be immediately
available and to remain available
until expended, to be used under
the direction of the seceretary of
agriculture for the following pur
pose:
“$1,000,000 for continuing
work of eradication of southern cat
tle ticks in the manner provided .in
the agriculture department
propriation act of 1935; and
"$1,000,000 for determination and
applying such methods of eradica
tion of screw worms as in the judg
ment of .he secretary of agriculture
may be necessary, including
oration with the authorities of the
states concerned and organizations
of individuals."
Senator George has introduced
bill for an appropriation of $200,000
to fight the screw worm.

threshold from
one stage of the journey to another.
Let us think of two such doors: Gen.
3:24—“He drove out the man and
placed at the east of the garden of
Eden cherubims and a flaming sword
which turned every way to keep the
way of the tree of life.”
Rev. 3:8—“Bohold I nave set be
fore thee an open door, and no man
can shut it”
In the beginning God made a
beautiful home for His children. In
it was everything that was gocfcl
far them. Only the fruit of one tree
was net good—would cause death.
He commanded them not to eat of
this fruit—if they did they should
die. God says he led His children
by the hand; taught them to walk.
Are’nt we still like little children?
Consider an infant. It’s father and
mother nourish and lead it, and un
til it car walk alone it is very
obedient to *hem, but after a few
years, as the poet says: “It wants
to try it's oivn wings”. Then the
picture changes. The child thinks it
knows best—tries to lead the parents
and how many do lead them!
Don't we often try to run ahead
of God instead of letting Him lead
us? I’m afraid we do.
After Adam and Eve had diso
beyed God they were driven out,
and could not re-reiter Eden. Al
figurative wav of saying, when we
pass through certain experiences
they can never be precisely as be
fore. The door is closed, but God
promised a Redeemer. A chance to
regain all we’ve lost Adam and
Eve’s first two children, Cain and
Abel, come into the home. Abel Is
good. Cain is vicked. Cain Kills
Abel. No matter how many other
children may come into the home,
none can take the place of the one
who's gone. The door is closed.
When nations go to a war they may
cry: “Back to Normalcy” as Amer
ican? have been crying for fifteen
years, but things can never be the
i’t go back. We must
go forward.
A lot of people spend their time
grieving over their Rood times that
are gone; their Edens, but
ond thought, isn’t the closed door
a blessing rather than a curse'
While most of u? have had oui
Edens, have'nt v/e also had oui
Egypts? While the closed door does
keep us from recapturing past
pleasures, it also keep out past mis
takes from recapturing us. One can’
remain always on the Mt. of Trans
figuration. There’s work to be done
in the valley, and as in Pilgrims
Progress—to reach the City Beauti-
must go through the slough
of Despond.
Do you remember the story about
the Israelites escaping from Egypt?
The Divine presence, as a pillar of
cloud by day. and a fire by night,
kept the enemy from overtaking,
Yes, there is a God who keeps us
from going back to our Eden, but
let us remember and rejoice that
♦his same Gcd can keep us from go
ing back to the Egypt of sin.
Jesus called a certain ma" to fol
low Him. The man asked at he
first be allowed to go and bury his
father. Jesus said: “Let the dead
bury their dead, but go thou and
preach the Kingdom of God.” An
other said let me first go and bid
farewell to my family. Jesus
having put his hand to
the plow, and looking back,
the Kingdom of God." Does’nt
this mean tha* when we are called
to work in God's vineyard, this
should come first?
Let us not spend this wonderful
new year in grieving over past sor
rows. and worrying about past mis
takes. but like the beloved apostle
Paul, let as sav: ‘Forgetting the
things that are behind. I press on to
ward the mark of the high calling
which is in Christ Jesus."
