MEETING CALLED
Wheat growers of Jackson county
will be interested In knowing that
the first public meeting for con
sideration and explanation of the
new agricultural adjustment act as
applied to wheat will be held soon
County Agent R. O. Fowler announc
ed today that this meeting will be
held in the courthouse auditorium,
Wednesday. July 19, at 10 a. m.
While Jackson county la not a large
wheat producing county, yet with an
average production of around 240.000 !
bushels per year for the past five
years, there are many wheat growers
who could well take advantage ol
this act.
First payments to those who sign
contracts to limit their acreage for
the next two years will be paid
about September 15, and payments
will be made on that proportion of
the crop which represents their share
of domestic production.
The thirty cent per bushel wheat
tax which was levied on millers and
other processors last Monday will
furnish funds for the benefits. It
Is estimated that over three million
dollars will be paid to Oregon wheat
growers, and Jackson county farmers
are entitled to their share.
