RESOLUTION FOR
|CHANGE in SET.UP
brings RESULTS
Pass Resolutions to Change
Factor System In
Allotment Set-up


Resolutions for a change in
THE Wheat allotment set-up
for establishing average years
as a base for allotments, filed
by farmers of the Dagmar and
Coalridge communities have
brought results.
The following telegram was
received this morning at the
allotment office from E. w.
Westlke, chairman of t h e
state grain board:
Members state g ra j n
board and Albert ]. Bor-
ten can meet signers of
Dagmar a n d Coalridge
communities M O n a
evening.
The meeting will be held in
Dagmar.
Resolutions protesting forced seed
collections and the present factor
system OF determining allotments
were adopted by contract signers at
a recent meeting held at C0alridge.
The resolutions have been sent to
Secretary OF Agriculture Wallace,
George E. Farrell, director Of divi-
sion of grain, to the press, Allotment
committees and the federal seed loan
department.
"A resolution committee composed
OF Andrew Dahl, Andrew Christensen
and ]. A. Glen drafted the resolution
regarding allotments and Paul M.
Madsen, Adolph Stephen and John
Murphy formed the resolution com
mittee protesting collection Of seed
loans.
The allotment resolution states
"whereas, certain changes are being
submitted IN the new wheat allOt-
ment contracts based on individual
production and a factor system
which will cause drastic and destruc-
tive determinations among unfortun-
ate farmers and tending towards de-
stroying this cooperative set-up and
whereas, recent drouth years, includ-
ing the past base period Of 1930-32,
have been especially disastrous in
this section and thereby presenting
an unfair basis Of production.
Therefore be it resolved that we
as former contract signers urge
either of the following alternatives
In setting the new acreage and pro-
duction for wheat control:
use the normal crop years 1927
1929 or previous years, as the new
base period, or the county average
production as in the past wheat con
tracts or give the county allotment
board full discretion in making ad'
tustments If the so-called factor sys'
tenn" is insisted upon"
At the Coalridge meeting farmers
in general agreed that base period Of
1930-32 was far below an average for
Sheridan county.
