Distribution Of checks at the
Allotment Committees office In
Plentywood has gone ahead steadi-
~ throughout the week with little
confusion. The committee had its
work we'll systematized. and farm
ers generally expressed much salts
faction with the manner in which
they were being taken car Of
OF course, with mor than 1900
checks on hand. representing pay
ments In excess OF 500, 900 there
were certain TO be some few error
For instance. 1t was a mighty easy
matter for James ]. Peterson to
get James P~eterson's" check. but
Treasurer Ueland and the commit
tee members have been quite C
cesaful In keeping all the Olsons,
the PeterSons, the Smiths In their
proper place.
These Allotment checks are an
interesting bit OF paper to look
upOn. Made up on eUtr1-heavy
ledger paper, they bear the sigma
ture Of one wv. X. Foster" dis
bursing clerk. stamped W a sec
ton Of the check tinted in red,
white, and blue. One only needs
70 glance at the serial number to
get some idea OF the number which
must be going out. One farmer
showed us his which bore the num-
Der, 2.091, $50.
when a farmer calls for his
check. he receives with 1t a copy
OF his contract with the Agricuitur-
al Adjustment Administration ana
also q Notice OF Acceptance On
this he finds the minimum and
maximum acres he may SOW to
wheat this spring.
The initial payment now being
distributed represents 20 cents >
bushel on his farm allotment In
bushels. About June first he will
receive between six and eight cents
4 bushel additional. depending
principally on whether or not the
government takes out the two
cents bushel. II this Is not done,
this will revert back to the wheat
growers.
The plan is to continue the Allot-
ment payments NEXT year under a
somewhat similar plan OF acreage
control, depending on how lear the
price received for this years crop
approaches the parity price ri
which the Administration is aim
ing.
