G. Melvin Campbell. secretary to
the AAA committee, that II far
mers participating in the 1916

state office and place them on the
register Of indebtedness who had
not made their reports by that
date.
1t was also pointed out that it
would be necessary to charge the
producer twice the original cost
of the material not reported. This
means that any future payments
due the producer would be taken
to pay for the unused material
and that no new material could
be delivered to the producer un-
til the unreported material is paid
for, it was reported.
By making the report now

been spread can be transferred to
the 1947 program at no extra
charge to the farmers, Mr.
Campbell stated.
