Valley WHEAT
MEN To MEET

A county mass meeting of wheat
growers will be held at the court
house, FL Centro at 8 p. m. Thurs
day, July 81. The meeting will
consider the wheat production con-
troll plan offered under the terms
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Act. This meeting was decided up
on by wheat growers committee
which met with the farm advisor
this week. Growers present in
cluded Robert Sperry, Calipatria;
j. L. Teacher and Harry E. Gates
Brawley; John. Scott. Westmorland;
Dave VenCill, Holtville; John Fiala,
CaleXico: and Harley Hunick,
Bonds Corner. The county was
divided into three districts for the
purpose of organizing for the ad-
ministration program. Sperry. 1. H.
Shaw, and Hunick were named
chairmen of the north end, central
and south end districts respect
fully.
1t is planned that the program
Thursday night will include dis
cussion by the farm advisor Of the
present economic situation Of wheat
which led the administration to be-
lieve that the production control
program is essential. Then details
will be given on the proposed
domestic allotment plan as applied
to wheat. Announcement will be
made at the meeting of the means
by which growers may enlist under
the allotment plan.
1t is pointed out by Frank Bey-
schlag, farm advisor, that the meet
ing is of interest to land owners
q swell as to growers. In fact in
some respects it is of more i'm
portance to growers whose property
was in wheat at any time between
1928 and 1882 than to many grow
l. ers who may be renters. This is
because the wheat allotmentS are
! to be attached to the land and not
to the grower. The amount of wheat
which may be allotted to a given
ranch is based upon the average
acreage and production OF wheat
grown on that ranch in the 3, 4,
Vi y yCdI PCllOI CllGiAi5 "ANAA NAAN
harvest of 1882.
The committee emphasizes that
the most important and the first
thing for those growers and pro-
perty owners to do, who desire to
cooperate under the Act, is to
collect the records of the acreage
and production of wheat grown
since 1923 on the ranch property
on which they plan to grow wheat
| in 1884 and 1885. The contracts
with the government will be in ef-
feet during the latter two years.
Cash allotment payments will be
made by the government soon af-
ter September Is to growers Sign
ing the control agreements who
harvested wheat in 1885 on land
which was in wheat between 1928
and 1882.
Details on different phases OF
the plan will be given and queS-
tions answered at Thursday nights
meeting at the court house.

dent of schools. and his staff,
completed their work on the school
budgets for the year late yester-
day afternoon and the figures are

cording to the stipulations OF the
Riley-Stewart plan are put into
force.
For the high school districts in
the county the budget has been
set at Sl59,07l90, of which $140.-
8l4l6 will De paid by the state if
the Riley-Stewart plan is followed
out. leaving a balance of Sl9,257. :
