using local revenues to diminish the
Federal contribution.
Altogether, the budget reductions, ac-
cording to calculations of District OFF,
cials, will turn back into the Treasury
to the credit of the District a sum
estimated in excess of $4,000, 900. The
exact amount, 1t was said, cannot be
definitely determined until the appro-
priation bill is passed and the size OF
the Federal contribution fixed.
Although the House is likely to agree
to the $6,500,000 contribution, the Sem
ate Is expected to continue its fight
for $9,500,000 The Senate clashed
with the House last year over the
amount of the contribution and finally

AZ STATES ARE Affected

North Dakota wheat farmers will
collect allotments from the federal
government on 55,217,821 bushels un-
Ger the new farm aid plan, according
to figures released Friday by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace.
This is 81 per cent of North Dako-
ta's basic production figure-102,255,-
600 Observation-Disclosures by the de-
partment OF agriculture as the aver
age In North Dakota for the years Of
1928 and 1882, inclusive, according to
DR.. c.. F. Monroe, extension director
Of the North Dakota Agricultural COL
lege.
Allotment figures for counties In
this state also were announced by
Wallace. Mclean county is allotted
1885, bushels, the largest in the
state. Sioux Is allotted only 290, 446
bushels, the lowest for the state.
Burleigh county is allotted 824,954
bushels.
Under the plan, 20 cents per bushel
will be paid to farmers this fall and
eight more cents per bushel next
spring.
Will Net $15,460,9S
This will net North Dakota SILL.

It will net Burleigh county farm
ers $l64 10000 this fall and $65 1896 81
next spring, for total of $3.50, 987.12.
In paying farmers their allotment,
the amount will be based on produce
ton of the last five years, but in fig
uring the amount of acreage which
the state may plant, the reduction
will be based on the average planted
acreage for the last five years.
North Dakota's planted acreage
averaged 10,5l3,600 for the last five
years. If Wallace figures the reduce
ton percentage at the 20 per cent
maximum that will be required,
North Dakota therefore would be re-
quired to cut its acreage by 20 per
cent of 10,513,6O0, or 2,102,272 acres,
and the state still could plant $780,
