adequate relief program from May

the various suggestions made, the
House of Representatives Tuesday
afternoon breathed new life into
the S1,0OO,OOO relief bill which it
defeated the day before. Within
ten minutes the vote was reconsid

bill was passed. The Republicans
voted solidly against the measure
and all but one Democrat, Repre-

bill would appropriate $3.50, 200, to
be financed by bond issue. Rep

WHEAT AGAIN IN
FEDERAL PLAN
Wheat Acreage and Allotment
of the u. S. Government
Reopened to Growers
OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN

Those wheat growers who had
no wheat in 1928 to 1881, but who
raised wheat in 1882 and 1888, now
have an opportunity to participate
in the wheat acreage adjustment
and allotment program of the Fed
eral government, according to a
recent announcement which has
been received by Kent County
Agent Russell E. Wilson, who is
also wheat administrator for this
county and Secretary of the Kent
and Sussex County Wheat Produc-
ton Control Association. The op-
portunity to sign allotment con-
tracts has been reopened to three
groups of wheat farmers in the
United States, the first group in
cluding those growers who filled
out application blanks last fall, but
who did not complete their con-
tracts. By signing contracts now
these growers will receive the full
benefit payments for the years
1888, 1884 and 1885, the same as
those whose contracts were COM
pleted in 1888. The second group
includes those farmers who desire
to fill out their application blanks
and contracts now, which will en-
title them to the last installment
of the 1888 benefit payment and all
of the 1884 and 1885 payments. In
the third group are those growers
who produced wheat in 1882 and
1888 only, and who are entitled to
raise 85 per cent of their 1882
wheat acreage for harvest in 1884.
but whose benefit payments will
be reduced. The 1882 wheat grow
er, therefore, who had at least rs
percent as much wheat acreage
again in 1888 may not sign con-
tracts on the following basis: %
The base acreage shall be the acre
age planted to wheat for harvest
in 1882, and the farmers may seed
up to S5 percent of that base acre
age for harvest in 1884, (2) The
base production shall be the ad-
justed 1882 production divided by
five, (3) The benefit payments will
be paid on 54 percent of the base
