He says in explaining this
severance of relations, that it is

cal administrative costs, will pro-
badly be paid soon after January

ance will probably be ready to

The recent payment is at the
rate Of $3.50 per head Of the pro-
ducer's ten per cent reduction in
hog production, and Is cents per
bushel on the production estimated
for his acreage retired from corn
production. Next winters payment

duced, as outlined above, less the
producers share of the local ad-
