1886 WHEAT PROGRAM

sex county, however, Is much great
er. for there were 1888 applications
for the 1936-1939 contracts, as COM
pared to only IS contracts IN the
previous program.
The work Of the allotment com
mittee in connection with this new
{ wheat program for 1886 has been
very similar to that for the 1899
1885 program, except that no con-
tracts were signed as the result Of
the decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court on January 6, which
invalidated the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act with reference to crop
control. The 1886 wheat acreage of
these 514 farms in Kent and Sussex
counties, however, had TO be meas
ured, and compliance forms prepar-
ed In practically the same manner
as the acreage compliance papers
were prepared during the two prev
iOus years.
The 19a6-l939 wheat adjustment pro-
gram was based upon the wheat yields
W AnN NNAAN4 Aaou 10 Aoout llGlualNEs
and the 6-year average wheat acreage
on these 3Sl farms IN Kent county was
II acres per farm, or a total or 17,90S
acres which represents 49.3 per cent Of
the entire wheat acreage In the county,
according to records compiled by Kent
County Agent Russell n. Wilson. in
cooperation with X. Harry Wilson, G.
Arthur Taylor and Robert A. Carton,
members Of the county allotment COM
mittee. In calculating the wheat produc-
tion base for 1886, this committee states
that the total farm allotment for Kent |
and Sussex counties is 210.023 bushels |
Of wheat, or an average OF 4OS.6 hush |
els per farm.
These application and compliance pa- |
pers have been checked over, and they /
are now being reviewed by the Division /
Of Grains OF the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration in Washington,
and it is expected that benefit pay
ment checks will he issued for these
farms within a short time. or as soon
rs they are approved and released for
audit. The payment for 1886 will be
made at the rate Of 2l.5 cents per
Dushel on the basic production repre-
lented by the base years herein men
iOned. less the administrative expenses
or conducting this program. These next
payments will complete the wheat ad-
project under the direction of
