FARMERS TO CUT PRODUCTIONS
IN CORN.HOG PLAN

Production cuts of 20 per cent III
corn acreage and rs per cent Id
number of pig filters farrowed and
hogs marketed are the principal
things required of the individual
farmer in fulfilling his part of the
contract with the Government; under
the corn-hog production adjustment
program, according to j. z. Miller
Cecil county agricultural agent.
These production cuts for 1884
will be based upon the farmers ave
erage corn acreage for the years
1892 and 1888, and upon the aver
age number of pig filters borrowed
and hogs marketed from these lit
tiers in the same years. This means
that if farmer averaged 40 acres
of corn for the past two years, he
will agree under his contract to
grow not more than 80 acres for
1894. Likewise, if he has produc-
ed an average of 8 filters of pigs and
has marketed an average Of SO hogs
from these litters during the two
years, he will agree to produce not
more than litters and market not
more than 81 hogs from them DUR
ing 1884.
The individual production reduce
tions, when multiplied by the total
number Of corn and hog growers
throughout the United States, will
provide the total reductions in these
crops which are necessary to help
bring supply into line with effective
demand. Each farmers part will
be vital contribution to the broad
national plan of production adjust
ment.
Cash benefit payments, made BY
the Government to those farmers
who take part in the program, will
make it possible for them to reduce
their corn and hog production with
out loss of immediate cash income,
according to Mr.. Miller And In ads
dition to these cash payments, the
farmers will be in position to profit
through any Improvement 10 regu-
lar corn and hog prices as result
Of production adjustment.
