HOW TO SECURE A WAIVER ON
PLANTING REQUIREMENTS

Adjustment Payment Tho
Planting Optional.

To prepare for the field in
spection of contracted wheat
farms, farmers who grow wheat
in counties in which planting for
1884 has been optional as a re-
suit of designation by the wheat
section of the AAA, and who wish
to secure a waiver on the plant
ing requirement for the 1884
crop, should register a request
with the county wheat production
control association. The follow
ing article explains how to do
this:
A farmer growing wheat under
an adjustment contract with the
AAA in a county designated as
one. in which planting for 1884 is
optional, may request a waiver of
the minimum planting require
1ment and still receive his 1894 ad-
justment payment, J. c. Taylor,
state director of extension at
Bozeman, announces.
Before the waiver can be grant,
ed, a farmer should register with
his county wheat control asso-
citation his acreage and at the
same time apply for the waiver.
This may be done by filling out
paragraph I Of Form W. 81, cop
les Of which are being sent to
each county association.
Farmers in Big Horn county
should fill out form w. 81, and
have it approved by the county
allotment committee and then
