SOIL PAYMENTS
COMING SOON
Land is Being Measured
Rapidly for Participant
ing Applicants.
Pine County Acre Base is
Approximately Ten
Dollars.

Initial payments of 80 per cent will
be made soon to producers under the
1886 Agricultural Conservation pro
gram in the north Central Region OF
which Minnesota is a part, according
to an announcement by the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
Payments will be made as rapidly as
possible, but due to the amount OF
work involved several weeks will
elapse before they can get out in
volume.
Many Parti ipating.
H. R. Tolley, administrator of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act and re-
lated acts, said: THE decision to
make initial payments of 80 per cent
in some regions is in line with the
policy previously followed. In for
mer years administrative expenses
have been deducted from the second
part of the payment, and the same
procedure will be followed this year.
Complete information on participation
and expenses will not be available
for several weeks" Mr.. TOlley added,
although it is known that the num-
Der of farmers taking part in the pro-
gram is in the neighborhOOd of 4,OOO,-
900. This is substantially in excess
of participation for any one year
under the adjustment programs.
From the standpoint of sound bust
ness procedure, therefore, it was
deemed advisable to take advantage
of the safeguards provided by the
program in order to avoid possible
deficits, and, at the same time, avoid
holding up a large share of the appl-
cations for payments until all OF them
are completed.
1.-The second part of the payment
will be made as soon as participation
and the expenses of the County Con-
servation Associations have been de-
termined. 1t is contemplated that
they can be exactly determined around
December 1, and applications ap-
proved after that date will be paid
in full with a single check. 1t may
be found that available funds will per-
nit the rates of payment to be in
creased in the regions where county
administrative expenses are deducted
from the payments. Any adjustment
made in any region will be uniform
throughout the region"
States included in the North Central
Region are, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri,
Nebraska, South Dakota and Mime
sofa.
County Adjusters at Work.
From one to three men have been
assigned in each township of the

able land is under cultivation, three,

and Werner Clausen, are measuring

ships, however, there is only one en-
ployed to do the measuring.
The Pine county base for payment
is about $40 per acre.

quadruplets, Michigan's only set of
fours, who will enter the girst grade

which prevailed a year ago when

mimic classes in the Morlok home,
with each girl taking turns being
teacher.

sters look forward to double en-
joyment this year, with a full day
of school instead of the halliday
session of last year. Primary STU
dents attend only halliday.
Mrs. Carl A. Morlok, their mother,
sid she will accompany the girls to
and from school. This plan was fol-

had to cross two busy thorough
fares The girls are too small to
watch out for themselves when
crossing busy streets" Mrs. Norfolk
