QUESTIONS, ANSWERS
ON ALLOTMENT PLAN
Wheat Proposal Is Clarified BY
Answers to Queries Of
Associated Press

Some interesting facts about the
wheat allotment plan are contained
in a series of questions and answers
prepared by the Associated Press in
collaboration with the federal farm
administration.
Here they are:
Can producer who signs an allot-
ment contract stop raising wheat?
No: he must seed the acreage based
on his average yield in recent years
needed to produce his farms allot-
ment.
What would happen to a producer
who signed and who. because of un-
favorable weather, could not seed win
ter wheat?
In some areas he could seed spring
wheat. If he does not seed such acre
age as is necessary to produce his
farm allotment in terms of average
yield, he must return payments made
to him.
Must producer withhold from sale
part or all of his wheat crop until
given permission to sell?
No.
If the producers farm is mortgased
must the mortgage sign the con-
tract?
Not unless he receives a part of the
crop as payment on the mortgage.
If farm is sold, is the purchaser
bound after contract has been sign
ed?
Yes.
What is the farm allotment?
That number of bushels of wheat
upon which adjustment payments may
be made to the producer, supple
menting what the producer obtains
from it in the markets. It is intended
to represent the farmers share in the
wheat required for domestic human
consumption.
Will the farm allotment be changed
each year?
No; the 1888 allotment will remain
unchanged during the 1934-35 crop
years except for correction of errors.

since this is prohibited but have re-
ceived their pay in relief orders for
necessities, which are issued In this
county by Mrs. F. E. Diehl and Miss
Mary Houser. Upon approval by the
state committe these orders have been
paid for out Of federal relief money
allotted to North Dakota, Kinzer said.
Is More Than Minimum
Kinzer pointed out that 40 cents
per hour is 10 cents per hour more
than the minimum for common labor
set by the government, which also has
required that no man be employed
more than IS hours week.
The secretary said that the men
must work in order to secure relief
orders. He said he was not acquainted
with the demands of the strikers since
they had not conferred with the state
committee or himself.
Wallace said executives of the state
association of unemployed councils
and workers clubs, which organized
here this week, have gone to Spirit
wood Lake, near jamestown, to con-
fe:' with Governor LANCER on the
problem. In this group are B. j.
brennan Of Bismarck, Nels Prima of
Williston. Stanley Frank of Dickin-
son, William Meredith of Mandan and
Charles Fodness Of Grand Forks.

persons receiving federal emergency
relief are requird to labor on public
works. They also demand = uniform
rate Of pay per day and a specified
number Of consecutive hours if they
are compelled to work out the relief,
according to wallace.
I'VE are willing to work on public
projects for relief money If we can
be shown that we are required to do
so under the regulations of the fed
eral government" he said, but we
don't want to have anything put over
on US in this county"
Claim 800 On Strike
Wallace said 800 needy men are on
strike here.
A conference between strike leaders
and the state emergency relief COM
mittee was to be held in the federal
building Thursday afternoon, accord
ing to r. A. Kinzer, committee secre-
tary.
Men on the relief lists have been

streams which are navigable where
there Is no title or prescription to the
contrary. Both offices are of the
opinion that the land department has
title to such islands but the right has
not been exercised because the Mis-
souri, has changed its course so often
that an island may disappear or the
river change its channel 50 as to make
the island a part of the mainland.
Then the question Of riparian rights
enters into the picture.
Residents Of Emmons county are
quarreling over the use of an island
east of Cannonball. The island is
over two miles long and contains
nearly two sections Of land. During
high water there is channel between
the island and the mainland about
100 feet wide, but during low water
1t can be forded. Two farmers have
been using the island as a pasture
for their cattle for some time and
one Of them has recently built q cabin
on 1t and claims squatters rights to
half Of it.
Other farmers living near the island
wanted to cut some driftwood that
had lodged on the island but were or
dered off by the present occupants.
They want to know who really has
title to the island and the driftwood.
Both the attorney general and the
land commissioner are Of the opinion
that the state has title to the land, if
the land department wants to exercise
its right. They do not believe the
present occupants have any right to
bar others from using the land, bit
on account of the fact that the status
OF the island may be changed at any
time by action of the river they are
reluctant to take action to establish
title.
