Payment Rates
For 1940 Farm
Program Listed
I
There will be no charges In pay­
ment rates to growers of potatoes
or commercial vegetables. Potato
glowers in those counties designat­
ed as commercial potato growing
areas will continue to receive three
cents a bushel on the average yield
of their allotted acreage, if they
comply with the farm program.
Commercial vegetable growers Co­
operating in those counties design­
ated as commercial vegetable grow-
:ng areas will continue to receive
$1.50 an acre on their allotted
acreage.
A rate of $2 an acre has been
set up for use in computing pay­
ments which may be earned by
growers of commercial orchards and
perennial vegetables such as straw­
berries and asparagus. The pay­
ments to growers of perennial veg­
etables who comply with acreage
allotments are a new feature which
has been added to the 1940 farm
program.
Rates of payments which will be
made to participating farmers in the
1940 AAA farm program were an­
nounced this week by the state of­
fice at Corvallis following the of­
ficial beginning of the new year’s
program December 1.
Among principal changes is the
rate to wheat growers. They will
receive a performance payment of
nine cents a bushel on the average
yield of their allotted acreage, as
need by simply dialing the Mix-Finder. They are all
plainly indicated on the dial—easy-to-see, easy-to-set
and scientifically right. You can’t go wrong. Come in

sive feature. Complete with juice extractor, only
