BURLE|GH COUNTY
FARMERS PREPARE
ALLOTMENT SET-UP
Township Delegates Organize
Here; to Complete compiIa-
ton Of Records

At meeting here of township del
egates for Burleigh county, the wheat
acreage allotment plan was discussed
with the county committee. Plans
were made for farmers Of the county
to compile records of wheat produc-
ton in order to take advantage of the
allotment plan.
All townships in the county were
represented with the exception Of
Wilson, Ecklund and Sibley Butte. H.
o. Putnam, county agricultural agent,
said that he would hold meetings later
in these townships and explain the
plan.
BY compiling records now on how
much wheat they planted and pro-
duced in the last three years, farmers
can speed up the governments ad-
justment program, H. o. Putnam, in
charge Of the program here, says.
M. L. Wilson, chief of the wheat
production section of the Agricultural
Adjustment administration, says past
production records of each farmer are
needed to determine the allotment of
each. He suggests that wheat farm
ers get the following information
ready now:
The total number of bushels grown
for the years OF 1880, 1891 and 1892.
Number OF acres of wheat planted
for the crop of each OF these years
and in 1888.
All that is needed is the total num-
ber Of bushels OF wheat grown on each
farm. It all counts in farmers
total production for the purpose of
the wheat program, whether it has
been spring, winter, or durum wheat.
II farmer has moved from one farm
to another in the three-year period,
he should make separate record of
the wheat grown on the farm which
ne Is now operating. If he has ope-
rated more than one farm, he should
also have the information for each of
them. BY using elevator, freight,
threshing, or bank deposit records, the
administration believes that each
farmer can get accurate estimates.
Each farmer will later be asked for
the records on past production and
number Of acres planted to wheat in
me last three years. The county as
ISOLATION will use these to determine
Zach farmers allotment. Figures turn

n the local press.

nent to each county is computed from

means of speeding action and elimi-
