Hrrmisfut Hrraln VOLUME XXVIII NUMBER 28 CORN-HOG REDUCTION CONTRACTS LIMIT OTHER PLANTING LIMITATIONS EXPLAINED IN PARAGRAPH THREE. HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, HIGH SCHOOL NOTES ♦ Three students have recently en rolled in the grades from other schools. They are: Irene Rhea, 1st., from Redmond; Hazel Miller of Tillamook and Dorothy Hiatt of Heppner, both in third grade. The Junior class will present a short assembly program Friday. March 9th, at 1:00 p. m. Spring Planting Should Conform An epidemic of German measles With Requirements; Terms Also broke out last week in the high Apply to Livestock. Considerable misunderstanding ap pears to exist among those who are joining the corn-hog reduction pro gram of the AAA as to just what are the requirements of the contract as to other crops to be planted, says Garnet D. Best, assistant county agent. The plain intent of the govern ment in paragraph three of the con tract is to prevent evasion of the spirit of the agricultural adjustment act by signers who might agree to reduce their corn or hog production, or both, and immediately increase their total crop acreage or Increase some other crop already designated as a surplus basis commodity in the adjustment act. The limitations on crop acreage specified in this paragraph apply, furthermore, to those who sign up for hog reduction alone as well as those who qualify for both corn and hog reduction. Official interpretation of para graph three received by Mr. Best, explains that when a hog grower signs the reduction contract provid ing for benefit payments to him, he also agrees not to increase his total acreage planted for harvest. That is, he agrees not to plant more acres between December 1, 1933 and No vember 30, 1934, than will equal, with his contracted acreage, the largest amount he planted In either 1932 or 1933 between the same dates. All crops except pasture are included, though fruits, strawber ries and other crops requiring more than a year from planting to har vest are . count a in the year in which harvested. For example, if a farmer's highest planted areage in 1932 or 1933 was 250 acres and he now has 30 acres contracted to the government either under the wheat, corn or other ad justment plan, he will, under the corn-hog contract, not be allowed to seed more than 220 acres for har vest in 1934, excepting for pasture. As to acreage of specific crops, this section of the contract pro hibits increasing the acreage for sale of any of those designated as a basic commodity in the act, or for any feed crop other than hay. This means that a hog contract signed in Oregon would not be allowed to Increase his wheat acreage planted since December 1, even though he had not signed a wheat contract. Feed crops not to be increased in clude oats, barley, rye, grain sor- gums, soybeans, cowpeas or other crops customarily used in feeding livestock. Such crops as are fre quently harvested to be fed as grain cannot be counted as exempted hay crops, even though the intention is to use them for hay or pasture. Much the same situation applies to increasing livestock. The total number of dairy cows kept for milk ing by the contract signed during 1934 must not be greater than the highest number kept in 1932 or 1933. Calves or other dairy stock not being milked are not affected by this ruling. Similarly if beef cattle or any other livestock are added to the act as basic commodities similar limita tions will apply after such amend ments take effect, but any increases made before that time are not con strued as a violation of the contract. All livestock limitations follow the producer and not the land. With an exceptionally early spring this year, it is important that corn-hog contract signers become familiar with these provisions without delay, in order that any spring planting may conform to re quirements and not cause delay In making subsequent benefit pay ments because of failure of a farm to pass inspection as to total crop aceages or livestock holdings. Will Conduct Services. Rev. C. R. Moore, now at Molalla. Ore., will conduct services at the Hermiston Union church starting Sunday, March 25th. According to word received from Mr. Moore he may remain in the field permanent- ly. school, but as yet there are compar- atlvely few cases in the grades. Any student absent from school is re quired to obtain a permit from their family doctor or from the city health officer before returning to school. High School Honor Roll. Grade School Honor Roll.
