The elation was caused by the establishment of new official figures for Sherman county due to the argu ments and briefs and evidence pre pared by the local men with the as sistance of help from officials. The former official total for the four years was 7,280,477 bushels which has been raised to ’ 7,949^62 bushels for a gain of €68,785 bushels for the county. The old five year average was 2,109,896 bushels, rhe new is 2,245- 652 bushels. The old four year aver age was 1,820,119. bushels and the new is 1,987,315 bushels. Instead of a factor of 116 for this county this 1981 when production was reported as low for the county. Procedure now, after all applica tions are thoroughly re-checked, will on the applications by a small amount to come within a base figure. Then averageyields will be increased by 13 percent to make up for the difference between the four year and the five year average. Rules regarding the signing of con tracts are, briefly, that two commun ity committeemen and two county committeemen must sign all con tracts in either inx or indelible pen cil. Corporation signatures must be* by an officer of the corporation and the seal must be affixed. AU owners must sign, in case of partnership. Agents and guardians must attach a copy of their power of attorney to on« of the contracts they are called upon to sign. It is expected that contract signing will begin next Monday, December 11.
