ACREAGE AND PRODUCTION
STATEMENTS

Wheat Production and Acreage
Statements Of Members Of the
Wheat Production Control Assoc
citation of Benton County, State
of Washington.
The following is a statement of
the production and planted acre
ages of wheat in the years 1929,
1880, 1881, 1892 and planted acre.
age for 1888 of producers of Ben
ton county who have submitted ap-
plications for farm wheat allot-
ments. This publication is made in
compliance with the regulations
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration. It is made so that
a check may be made on all state
ment claims, and so that reports
may be made to the County Wheat
Production Control Association on
any inaccuracies which may ap-
pear in the statements.
The allotment for this county
has been definitely calculated from
official records of the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, and is
222, 500 bushels. This is the total
allotment for the county. There
fore if any farmer receives great
er allotment than his past produc-
tion warrants, he is thus depriv-
ing other farmers in this county
of their just share.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1933-10-12

Total production figures of those
who apply for contracts, together
with those who do not, must equal
the official production as shown by
the records of the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. If the coun-
ty totals are greater than the Off
cial totals, it will be necessary to
make a downward adjustment.
Any person may make conf
Dental report if he finds any state
ments here which he believes to be
inaccurate. Such reports should
be made to the community or coun-
ty committee, either in writing or
verbally. The reports will be strict
ly confidential. A farmer whose
statements are said to be inaccur-
ate will need to prove his produc-
ton figrues.
Farmers have been asked to fur
nish evidence of production and
evidence of sale, such as thresher-
mans certificates, elevator certifl-
Gates, or other records and re-
ceipts. Satisfactory evidence will
be required of any farmer whose
statement is questioned~
The following statements have
been condensed to save space;
'acres" represents acres planted
and "bushels" represents bushels
ba rvested The "four-year ayerag e''
represents the four-year average
acreage and production from 1929
1892. Farmers should refer any
questions regarding this publica-
ton to their community commit
tee or to the County Allotment
Committee.

MRS. ROOSEVELT MAY
HEAR CRITICISM AS
CONGRESS CONVENES

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Mrs.
Franklin d. Roosevelt and the
wives of the Vice President and
the Speaker of the House may
come in for a good share of criti-
cism in Congress when it opens in
January, during the discussion of
of a bill which would dismiss wo-
men employees of the government
whose husbands are also working
for the government.
The bill, which is an economy
measure, is obviously an attack or
the government employees with
the lowest salaries whose wives
must work to help meet their ex,
penses. Instead of cutting salaries
of the high officials, the govern.
meut is cutting the wages of the
small wage earners.
Some members of Congress are
expected to tell how Mrs. Roose
welt is connected with several en-
terprises such as furniture fac
tory in New York State. Mrs
John N. Garner, wife of the Vic'
President and Mrs. Henry 7
Rainey, wife of the Speaker, ar,
or the federal payroll as secre-
taries to their husbands.

SEN. DONOVAN
MAY DEFEND 3

In letter to Charles E. Taylor,
National Chairman of the United

ly the most distinguished lawyer
in the state of Montana, has &C.
cepted the defense of the three
Raymond farmers, arrested by
Frank Rooster, Outlook banker fol
saving the owners share of the
crop grown on the o. B. Snuggins
homestead, last fall on a chargt
of grand larceny, in a program tt
intimidate the farmers irto sub
hitting to forced sales, foreclosure
and evictions.
Farmers in Sheridan county ar,
forming farmers defense commit
tees in every precinct in the coun
ty for the purpose of raising TIT
money for the expense of the de
Tense. This work should b,
rushed.

showdown the papers signed by
him can not be considered legal.
Acting as an agent for the Fed
eral Land Bank he made a lot of
farm loans and signed a lot of
papers. Should all these papers
be declared null and void, it will
create quite a commotion. But
there is no danger of anything
like that happening. The courts
will see. to that; saving the money
for the Federal Land Bank is
what courts are for.
When this Outlook banker had
the three Raymond farmers ar
rested and charged with a crime
that had not been committed, the
county authorities were more than
willing to assist him. Now when
he turns out to be nothing short
of criminal, many are insisting
that he be given the kind of medi-
cire that he wants to hand out 10
the farmers. They insist that the
county authorities see to it that
he be the one breaking rocks be-
hind the big iron gates for the
next couple of years instead of the
farmers who fought for the right
of their neighbors to live on their
own farm from the food it pro-
duced.
The three Raymond farmers are
highly respected citizens of the
United States, and every farmer is
demanding that they be protected
from attack of a banker who Turns
out to be a faker, a fraud and an
impostor, such as Frank Rooster

by squeezing others will he be

FARMERS CAN ONLY
SEED ALLOTMENT
ACRES TO WHEAT

Replying to a question relative
to the cropping of Incorporating
land, Emergency Agent Carl H.
Peterson quotes apragraph SO" of
the wheat allotment contract:
eff any farm other than the one
covered by this contract is owned
or operated by the producer in
1884 or 1884, such farm shall not
be used for the purpose of increas-
ing the wheat acreage thereon in
any amount to offset the required
reduction on this farm, and a
breach of this condition shall be
a ground for termination of this
contract by the Secretary, and the
descontinuance of any further pay
mente hereunder"
The above appears to indicate
that wheat control member may
not lease ron-contract land for
the purpose of growing thereon
additional acres Of wheat to make
up for reduction on land under
contract. This clause was inserted
In the contract for the purpose of
preventing new land from going
into wheat prductioon and thus
defeat the wheat control plan.
Paragraph "8" however, does
rot prevent a wheat control mem
Der from leasing as much non
contract land as he may desire
and use it for production of other
cash or feed crops. He may also
seed wheat on such non-contract
lard not to exceed the same aver.

seeded on the tract during the
base period or the same acreage as
was seeded in 1888. whichever is
greater. Under no conditions may
the acreage seeded to wheat dur
ing the life of the contract be in
creased. It is also obvious tina
no benefit payments will be paiC
for Incorporating acres.
The wheat act does not proven

farms would also be controlled a

There is no doubt whatsoever

LAWMAKERS AGAIN
RESUME SESSIONS
AFTER HOLIDAYS

After celebrating Christmas the
lawmakers at Helena again went
to work last Wednesday. Out of
the 81 bills introduced they still
have the 81 left to be disposed of
one way on the other. At the rate
of speed they have BEEN going so
far there is NO telling how long
the session will drag out yet. The
$40 per day looks good to most of
them.
Revenue measures which passed
the house totaled 18 and the total
revenue which they would bring in
if all were approved by the SEN
ate and governor would total ap-
proximately $1,600,O00. However
this estimate is said to be purely
"guess work"
They include: A double inheri-
lance tax, a tax of one per cent
of the gross proceeds of electricity,
tax on slot machines and punch
boards, increased natural gas tax
added beer taxes, licenses of 5000
annually on collection agencies, al
location of liquor profits for re-
lief, stepped-up chain store taxes
income tax surtaxes, a cigarette
dealers tax payable to the state
increased corporation taxes Of
from 2 to A per cent, increasing
the yearly tax on telephones from
81 to SO, providing for a one pei
cent license tax on the gross pro
ceeds of telephone and telegraph
companies, a one per cent license
tax on the gross proceeds of con
tractors, tax Of two cents PEI
package on cigarettes, a tax O.
10 per cent of the retail price O.
cosmetics, and a tax on product
manufactured within the state ant
sold here by an out of stat
broker or agent.
The sales tax has been killed
and so was the one cent gasolfn
tax. The "teeth" have been ex
tracted from the gambling bill S
all that is left is a tax on slot ma
chimes and punch boards. Tn
drug stores are putting up a har
fight to get the monopoly on tn
handling of liquor.
Investigations are being made
] in connection with trips taken t
Washington, D. c. by certain stat
officials, which probably include
] the governor.
