Chairman Outlines
Requirements For
AAA PARTICIPATION
FARMER CAN FIGURE
APPROXIMATE PAY
MENT IN ADVANCE

To fully participate in the 1888
AAA farm program a farmer
must meet two requirements, &C
cording to George Claussen,
chairman of the Redwood county
agricultural conservation COM
mittee. He must keep his plant
ings of soil-depleting crops with
in the soil depicting acreage al
lotment for his farm and he must
meet his soil-building goal.
There will be but one payment
this year, says Mr.. Claussen, and
the amount a farmer will receive
from full participation can be
estimated before he enters the
program. For instance, farm
er in the commercial corn area of
Minnesota would get his pay
ments from: % A corn payment
of 10 cents a bushel on his nor
NAL corn production per acre,
based on his corn acreage allot-
ment, provided at least 30 per
cent of his allotment is planted.
(2) A general crop payment OF
SIPS for each acre in his gen.
eral soil-depleting acreage allot-
ment adjusted for the product
witty of the land. 90 A soil con-
servation payment of so cents for
each acre in his non-depleting
acreage. There are also payment
rates for wheat, commercial veg
etable land, commercial orchards,
non-crop pasture lands and pota-
toes, under certain conditions.
Gives Sample Farm
By applying these rates of pay
ment to his farm, the corn pro-
ducer can figure just about what
he will be able to earn this year.
Mr.. Claussen reveals figures on
a sample farm: "A farmer may
have farm of 100 acres in which
there are 100 crop acres. His
county committee gives him a
corn acreage allotment of 40
acres and a general soil-depleting
allotment of 80 acres. This gives
him 100 acres in soil-depleting
crops, leaving him 80 non-deplet-
ing acres.
Assume that this farmers nor
NAL corn production is 35 bushels
per acre, his corn payment would
be S140 or 10 cents a bushel times
his normal production of corn.
His general soil-depleting crop
payment would be S73.50-S1.25
times so, which is the number of
acres in his general soil-depleting
allotment. This farmers conserv-
ing payment would be $3.50
cents times his 80 non-depleting
acres. Adding these three sums
gives this farmer a total possible
payment of S228.50."

Snow Removal
Expense Down
MILD WINTER, BETTER
EQUIPMENT CREDITED
WITH BIG SAVINGS

Thousands of dollars in snow
removal costs were saved by Red
wood county this winter, Richard
Cook, county engineer, reported
to county commissioners Tuesday.
Mr.. Cook credited fate in the
form of a mild winter and the
foresight of the board in pur-
chasing efficient equipment, for
the economy.
Records of the county engin-
GERS office, kept by the calendar
year from January through De-
cember, show that in 1886 state
funds of $23, 300 and county aid
of SD, 400, total of $780, was
spent here for snow removal.
In 1887 the figures jumped to
$50,850. State aid was $26, ESQ
and the county's contribution,
$24, 500.
This winter figures slumped to
So, 1866 from January 1 through
March. Adding $400 spent in
December when the plows first
went out, the winters total is
So, 1856. OF this 1856 is undistri-
buted.
"Even if we begin snow plow-
ing in October this year we will
still be way under last years
COSTS" Mr.. Cook said.
Figures for 1886 and 1887 in
clude purchase, erection and TAX
ing down of snow fence. Some
fence put up last fall and includ-
ed in 1887 costs has not yet been
removed.
I'VE are a lot better equipped
now. Our rotaries keep down
snow banks. It is when snow ac-
cumulates and freezes along road
sides that removal is really ex-,
pensive," Mr.. Cook said, "when
banks pile up, snow gathers be-
tween them and is difficult to re-
move" he explained.

boys tell it he's Just begun to learn
about fishing.
The real sport, they tell you, Is
catching 'em on 3-thread line, or
landing q fair-sized tarpon on sewing
thread like that your better nine
ON your shirt collar. They do it, too,
but they lose 10 fish for every / they
lond, on that light stuff.
