age of these 514 farms in Kent and
Sussex counties, however, had to
be measured, and compliance forms
prepared in practically the same
manner as the acreage compliance
papers were prepared during the
two previous years. The 1886
1889 wheat adjustment program
was based upon the wheat yields
for the period 1880 to 1885, inclu-
sive, and the 6-year average wheat
acreage on these 381 farms in Kent
county was AZ acres per farm, or
a total of 17,908 acres which repre-
cents 1913 percent of the entire
wheat acreage in the county, ac-
cording to records compiled by
Kent County Agent Russell E. Will
son, in cooperation with r. Harry
Wilson, G. Arthur Taylor and Rob
ert A. Carton, members of the
county allotment committee In
calculating the wheat production
base for 1886, this committee
states that the total farm allot-
ment for Kent and Sussex counties
is 210,023 bushels of wheat, or an
average of 1855 bushels per farm.
These applications and compliance
papers have been checked over, and
they are now being reviewed by
the Division of Grains of the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
tion in Washington, and it is ex-
pected that benefit payment checks
will be issued for these farms with
in a short time, or as soon as they
are approved and released for
audit. The payment for 1886 will
be made at the rate of 21.5 cents
per bushel on the basic production
represented by the base years here
in mentioned, less the administra-
tiv expenss for conducting this pro-
gram. These next payments will
complete the wheat adjustment
project under the direction of the
Federal government.

WABASH ALUMNI
ASKED TO HELP
PAY TEACHERS
Alumni Fund Sought by
President Hopkins to
Restore Pay Cuts.

Times SpeciGI
CHARLOTTESVILLE. Ind, Feb. e.
Wabash College graduates we're
called upon today to contribute to
an alumni fund which would per-
NIT an early salary increase for the
schools faculty and serve over
five-year period to wipe out recent
annual deficits.
In letter appealing for dona-
lions, President Louis B. Hopkins
outlined a plan calling for year
ly subscription of $4,000, or a total
of $4,000 for the five years. In
dividual gifts. he suggested, could
vary from 81 to $500
Reiterating a belief that moth
ing is more important to an educa-
tional institution than the quality
of instruction" he expressed the
further conviction that Wabash fac
ulty salaries must be increased soon
if the school is to retain "a teach
ing force of high caliber.'
Salaries of all Wabash instruc-
tors have been reduced 20 per cent
from their pre-depression level, he
said. One quarter of this amount,
he suggested, should be restored for
the acadamic year beginning Sept.
l, 1886.
