ghums, Is cents per hundred
weight.
The 30-Cent-per-buShel bonus on
wheat and corn is paid above mar
ket price to induce farmers to
market their grains so there will be
enough to take care of minimum
needs in this country and ship e.
nough to Europe to feed that con-
tinent.
Elevators Handle Program
Five elevator companies in Tn
ion county are purchasing wheat
under this program. They are Hunt
Milling co. and the LennoX Eleva-
tor, Redwood; all elevators of The
Ohio Grain CO.. Ray Latham, Un-
ionville Center; and B. M. You
mans & Son, Plain City.
Only the Latham and Youman
elevators in Union county handled
the corn under this program.
In addition to these, there were
a number of elevators along the
edge of the county buying the
grain under this program, Mr.. Co.
chenour said, but this county re-
ceived credit for all grain sold
through other elevators by Union
county farmers.
Most of the wheat is arriving in
small lots, AAA officials report,
with many farmers having only a
few bushels after cleaning their
bins for the summer wheat.
