FOR RYE PRODUCTION

ments, and will be paid as soon as
possible after contracts are accept
ed. The contracts provide that adj
] justments payments to cooperating
producers are to equal the differ
I ence between the average farm
price and the fair exchange value of
rye if this difference is not more
than 35 cents a bushel, the adjust
ment payment is to be at least 35
cents a bushel on aloltments. AS in
other crop adjustment programs,
producers cooperating in the rye
program will receive payments even
in case of crop failures, if they have
complied with their contracts. In
this way, the program affords crop
insurance.
This rye program is patterned
closely after the wheat adjustment
program. In addition to covering
the same period, it will be admin
istered locally by the county wheat
association of which Daniel Gallo
way, BridgevilIe, is chairman.
The application for rye adjust

hands of the County Agricultural
Agent and also Mr.. Galloway. These
applications are similar to those of
wheat and in order to fill them it is
necessary for the applicant to be
able to give the following infOrma-
tiOn:
The number of acres of rye seed
ed for grain in 1930-31-32-33-34-35 |
and the average yield per acre. The
base years are 1930-31-32. A draw
ing of the farm showing public
roads, lanes. shape and approximate
sizes of the fields as well as. to
the crops grown in the |
various fields during 1884 and 1895.
He must also give the average in |
woods or waste land, permanent .
pasture, temporary pasture, idle
crop land, wild hay. tame hay, alfal-
ia, soy beans, corn, wheat, oats,
barley, potatoes, sweet potatoes,
and all other crops. This is the ex-
act information asked for in the
wheat contracts.
AS previously stated the contract
Is for 1936-37-38-39 but the signer
may terminate the contract in 1887
If he has complied with his con-
.ract.
He also agrees to sow for harvest
IS grain not less than 54 per cent Of
his base ry acreage for that year.
The land taken cut of rye can be
lsed for soil improving crops, new
pasture or falIow. This zoo. is the
Iame as in the wheat Contract.
The majority Of the farmers have
llready sown their rye, hut in
many instances they have reduced
heir acreage. In such cases, they
ire eligible to sign contracts, so if
'ou are interested IN this program,
zee your County Agent in George
own or Mr.. Galloway who lives
lear Atlanta.
In order TO explain this program,
he following is an example as to
low it works:
Assume rye was harvested as
rain in each of the years, 1930-S1-
2. In 1880 a farmer had 90 acres
n, 1881 ne had Is acres and in
932, he harvested 25 acres. That
would give bim an average Of 20
cres for his bace yield. Let us say
hat he averaged Is bushels per
ere or a total of 300 bushels, his
verage annual rye production. He
yill be paid on 80 per cent of this
r 80 bushels at the rate of 20 cents
er bushel of first irstallment of
936 adjustment payment or total
{ $500 in his first installmen: IN
)3s. 7
In this case the acres re harvest 1
! as grain would he IS per cent Of
} or Is acres unless tire Secretary
Agriculture authorizes the har- |
,sting Of a larger percentage. The Y
asst he could plant would be 81 :
n cent of 20 acres or 10.S acres.
The County Agent will be glad TO
,plain this program at his office i'll
GEORGETOWN. If interested, see him
