of P~lentywood attended the bride
and groom at their wedding.
Miss Gutterud has been employed
as a nurse at the Sheridan Memoir

after completing her training in the

ter of Mr. and Mrs. o. Gutterud of

What the Farmer Must Do

What you must do to participate in the benefits OF the
Wheat Production Adjustment Plan:
1. Sign q contract to reduce your wheat acreage for
the years 1884 and 1895 by the amount decided N by the
Secretary OF Agriculture. This will mot De more than 20 per-
cent
2 Report your average wheat acreage and yield for the
PAST three years to the county wheat production control
yom allotment in bushels Will be published in the local paper.
What You will receive in return for agreeing to reduce
acreage:
/ You will receive an allotment certificate emitting
You to about 3Oc per bushel on that portion Of your last
taree years average production th4t used as domestic hu-
man food. 1t is expected that this will be about five-eighths,
although the exact amount has not been definitely decided
ON
Example, for a farmer whose average production dur
ing the past three years has been 1000 bushels. and which,
let us assume, he markets for Use a bushel:
1885, 600 bushels sold at 75c --------.-s1,5O0
5-8ths of 100 bushels at SOC (paid by gov)-- 35
81 500 bushels sold at 75c reduced 20 percent) 1900
5-8ths of 1000 bus. at 30e (paid by Cow II 35
35-1.6 500 bushels sold at 7c treduced 20 pereent1 100
5sths of 1000 Blu. at zoe (paid by gov) 80 375
Total ~1933-1935
eeive $5,O25 for bis three years crop This assumes that
the compensating payment will be zoe in 1894 and 1885. II
may be more or less, depending on the disparity Of wheat
prices at that time. Acreage reduction required may also be
less than 20 percent.
On tn other hand, a farmer who decides not to partiG-
ate and continues to produce his usual 1000 bushels per
year would receive only the same market price on his 5000
bushels or $4,000 which is s525 less than the farmer who
reduces his acreage.
2 The farmer Is at liberty to market his wheat and how
he wishes. Regardless Of whether he loses his crop by drouth,
hail. winterkaing, etc, he gets the payment. He will receive
the benefit regardless OF whether he has sold his wheat be-
fore he signs the acreage reduction contract

Recovery of the grain market
brought a ray Of hope to farmers

~creasing Weld. With an advance OF
six cents Wednesday, wheat had
recovered a total gain of 10 cent.
over the low point reached last
THURSDAY when trading markets
were closed due to a sensational
collapse in price.
Although the rise this week had
been by small jumps, there was ev-
idence OF continued strength on ac-
count Of reports coming in from
the northwest of reduced Yields in
every section following the unpre-
cedented heat wave of the last two
weeks.
Encouraging signs of stabiliza-
ton was also afforded when Geo.

OF the grain industry they must
put their house In order, or the
government would act
Grasshopeprs were plentiful, and
were doing some damage to crops,
