HOW TO Use WHEAT.
ALLOTMENT ACRES,
SHOWN BY W.P.CA.
Failure to Plant Minimum
Results In Non
payment


There are still some inquiries as to
just what can be done with he Is
per cent of the base acres which
an operator of a farm unit, by
signing a wheat allotment con-
tract. has agreed to take out of
produc ion. The Agricultural Ad-
ministratiOn has approved the fol-
lowing practices for the use Of the
contracted wheat acreage.
I. Let the land lie implanted.
2. Summer-fallow the land.
3. Plan the land to permanent
pasture.
4 Plant TIE land to meadow
crops.
5. Practice weed control On the
land.
6. Plant forest trees for wins-
break or farm use.
7. Plant soil-improvement crops
On the land, for plowing under.
These prac. ices are advocated
fer the wheat growing region as a
whole. It is left to the individual
producer to decide which one or
ones he prefers to adopt.
If the contract signer does not
handle his WI hdrawn wheat acre
age in one Of these seven approved
ways, but handles it some other
way, the burden Of proof viii be
on him and If might be that his ad-
jUstment payments would be de-
layed, or he might no be able to
/ get them at all. Therefore. all
( contract signers are urged to adopt
one of the seven approved prac-
tees.
! Producers farming two or more
units, by entering in'o an agree
ment for joint compliance, may
farm the several units as one. Such
( ACRE eemerts must be in proper
written form and signed by all the
parties interested in the different
units ard be placed on file in the
office Of the Wheat Production Con
troll Association before the inspec-
ton for determination of compli-
ance has begun. The agreement
must have the approval of the
County Allotment Committee. The
forms for this purpose may be OBJ
taired at the Wheat Production
Control Office.
Seeding of Whea' for Pasture
or Hay

tered into a contract, wishes to
seed wheat for pasture or hay. he
may seek permission to do so by
making written request to the
/ County Allotment Committee. In
his request he shall show that, "a
it has been his regular practice to
( seed wheat for pasture or hay, or
~ that an emergency exists
which makes it necessary for him
to seed wheat for pasture or hay.
He shall specify the area which he
proposes to seed for such pur-
poses ard shall submit in dupli-
cate map which shall show the
acreage to be so seeded. Requests
for seeding wheat for pasture or
hay must be approved by the
{ County Allotment Commit tee, sub
ject to approval by the Wheat Sec

be kept posted with notice that
such wheat is plan ed with the ap-
proval of the County Allotment
Committee and that the crop there
on will be used for pasture or hay
only and not harvested for wheat.

proved before seeding.
Abandonment of Contracted
Acreage
Before a contract signeG plows
up any wheat for the purpose of
planting another crop on the same
land, the land involved should be
examined by a representative of
the County Allotment Committee
and official permission should be
given by TIE committee to the CO.
operator. in writing, authorizing
him to plow up the said wheat. If
this procedure is not followed, he
cooperator may have some diff
Guilty in getting the adjustment
payment.
