1885 CORN-HOG
CHANGES MADE

WASHINGTON. Dec. IA. tP-The
Farm Administration Friday made
public the 1885 corn-hog contract III
It's final form-boiled into half the
size OF the 1884 agreement.
The new contract changes the
minimum reduction In corn acre
age from 20 TO 10 per cent below the
average annual acreage IN 1892 ana
1888 but again limits the reduction
to 80 per cent. The minimum re-
duction in hogs produced for mar
ket Is fixed at 10 per cent compar-
ed with the minimum OF rs per cent
below the I932-l933 base provided
IN the 1884 contract.
Payments also are changed. Far
mers will be allowed IS cents a
bushel on the estimated corn yield
OF the acres retired from production
compared with 80 cents this year
and the contracted acres may be
used for any purposes except grow
ing field corn. Under the 1884 con-
tract. acres withdrawn from corn
production could be used only I'm
limited ways, but because OF the
drought the farming ration modi-
fled the limitations.
Under the new contract. SIS a
head will be paid on 10 per cent
OF the hog base, that Is, the aver
age number OF hogs produced for
market from litters narrowed in 1892
and 1888. IN the old contract, So a
head was paid on IS per cent Of the
hog base.
The contract again contains pro
visions barring the signers from
assigning any OF their rights TO pay
mentS under the contract and re-
curing conformance 10 regulations
and administrative rulings prescro-
ed by the secretary OF agriculture.
Gone are the extensive tables for
computing past records from which
reductions must be affected, which
took I'D much of the 1894 contracts.
Chief among the changes In the
form OF the contract. aside from It's
greater brevity, is the substitution
Of the word adjustment for ere
duction" III reference to the benefit
payments to be made.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt had ready for con-
gress today a message asking ap-
preparation of 525,OOO,OOO for relief
in the catastrophe midwest drought
as the picture of immediate losses
and long time ruin grew clearer.
The immediate loss was empha-
sized by agriculture department crop
reports.
Since April l, $9O,OO0,OOO worth of
winter wheat at current prices has
been destroyed. Spring wheat
worth about twice that much has
been lost. Small grain crop losses
run in proportion The livestock
toll is yet to be calculated but will
be severe. Only corn appeared to
have a chance for a fairly normal
showing.
Agriculture records showed that
never since accurate statistics have
been kept have conditions been so
bad in June. From Ohio to Nevada
the department reported pastures in
the poorest June condition on rec
ord. In most OF these states the
condition of spring grains was SINH
larly low.
