Cotton Payment
Basis Is Changed
By New Contract
With the design of simplifying op-i
eration of the cotton program the
new four-year cotton adjustment
contract provides for a single pay
ment to cooperating producers in
1936, says C. A. Cobb, chief, Cot
ton Division of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration. Here
tofore there have been three sep
arate payments.
The single payment will be not
less than five cents per pound on
the average yield of lint cotton on
the land withheld from production
under the contract for 1936 accord
ing to Mr. Cobb’s announcement.
This payment is to be made as soon
as practicable after compliance
with the terms of the contract has
been determined, and checking of
compliance is to be started as soon
as the planting season is over in
any county, | ( K
In normal cases, payments will
be made directly to the persons en
titled to share in the crop or its
proceeds.
The following basis has been fix
ed for the division of payments be
tween landlords and all tenants or
share croppers on a farm under
contract: 37 1-2 per cent of the
payment is to go to the person
furnishing the land; 12 1-2 per cent
to the person furnishing the work
stock and equipment; and the re
maining 50 per cent is to be divided
between the landlord and tenant
in the proportion that the cotton
or its proceeds is divided.
In addition to simplifying the op-

FLORENCE, Dec. 14.—A down
ward adjustment in corn acreage
needs to be continued in 1936,
states A. L. DuRant, extension live
stock specialist, for two important
reasons: First, to keep corn pro
duction in line with livestock feed
ing requirements, and second, to'
help prevent an over-expansion in
hog production in 1937.
Under the 1935 contract, farmers
retired 11 1-2 million acres from,
com production, mostly in the
Corn Blet where higher than aver
age yields are obtained. Neverthe
less, the corn supply for each
grain-consuming animal on farms
this winter is larger than in any
year since the war, except 1926.
That is why, Mr. DuRant continues,
the Adjustment Administration;
seeks to aid the nation’s farmers in
1936 to adjust about 10 million
acres of normal com land to soil-
buildjng or erosion-preventing
crops.
Under the new two-year corn-
hog contract, cooperating producers
are given the option of retiring ID
to 30 per cent of their base corn
acreage in 1936. This flexible
range, the same as ill 1935, will en
able a producer to make the adjust
ment best suited to his individual
farm. The signer, however, must
agree to ; plant com on at least 2£
per ceiit of his base corn acreage.
Since one of the major objectives
of the program is to balance the
production of hogs with the mar
ket outlets for pork and pork prod
ucts, the 1936-37 contract makes
it Necessary for a signer to raise
at least 50 per cent of his market
hog base in 1936 if he is to receive
the maximum hog adjustment pay
ment of $1.25 a head.
This hog provision will have an
important fourfold effect, explains
Mr. DuRant. (II It will, give pro
ducers a greater total hog income,
(2) it Will protect consumers from
inadequate pork supplies, (3) it
will tend to prevent further region
al dislocation in hog production,
and (4) it will help prevent over-
expansion of hog numbers in 1937
and a subsequent return to dis
tressingly low hog prices.
In this connection Mr. DuRant
quotes Claude R. Wickard, chief of
the AAA cOm-hog section: “Hog
production should be considerably
larger than that of 1935 if the best
interests of both producers and
consumers are to be served. In
view of present export possibilities,
however, both groups would be
harmed if production were permit
ted to return to the excessive lev
els of 1932 and 1933.”
