Acreage Allotment
On 81 Corn Crop
Seen Almost Certain
Rx tbe A,,oelaied Pre,s

Next years corn crop faces
Federal production controls, but
they may be limited to voluntary
acreage planting allotments.
An Agriculture Department
crop report yesterday forecast
this years corn crop at $780,
41S,000 bushels-a level which
would put the supply of this live
stock feed grain in a surplus
level. In general. the biggest
United States crops since l948
were foreSeen.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son. commenting on the corn
estimate, said it was his feeling
that controls of some kind would
be necessary. He already has IN
voked rigid marketing quotas on
the 1854 wheat crop, subject to a
vote by the growers, and fore
casts of this years cotton crop
indicate they may be necessary
for the fiber crop next year.
Possibility Seen.
Mr.. Benson did not rule out
the possibility of quotas 5on corn
next year, but department off,
cials who administer grain pro-
grams said the crop would have
to reach around 3.4 billion bush
els to make quotas necessary.
The quota level is determined
under a formula in farm law,
using production, supply, and
prospective demand statistics
available next November Is.
Thus a 70 million bushel i'm
provement in prospects in the
next three months would bring
the rigid rules into force, if the
growers agreed to them.
The grain officials said it was
virtually certain that acreage al
lotmentS would have to be ap-
piled to corn. AllotmentS give
each farmer in a commercial
corn producing area a planting
share. Farmers would be free to
abide by or ignore the allot-
ments. However, only those
abiding by them would be eligi-
BILE for corn price Supports4
Quotas are more rigid in their
effect. Under them farmers
would be free to sell or use only
that portion of corn grown on
their acreage allotments. Corn
grown on excess acres would be
subject to a penalty tax equal to
IS per cent of the parity price
of corn.
Parity is price designed to
be fair to farmers in relation to
prices they pay.
Marketing quotas would have
to be approved by at least two
thirds of the growers voting in a
referendum.
Wheat farmers will vote Fri
day on quotas for their crop. Mr..
Benson has until mid-October to
announce quotas for cotton.
Quotas have never been in
voked on corn, but have been
applied in the past on cotton
and wheat. They are in effect
this year on major types of to-
,bacco and peanuts. There have
been acreage allotmentS for corn,

LEGAL NOTICE


Notice is hereby given by the
Trustees of Russell Township,
Geauga County, Ohio, that on the
2lst day of May, 1853, we filed a
petition in. the Common Pleas
Court of Geauga County, Ohio, for
One Thousand Dollars Sl,O00.00).
Said sum being a part of the un-
appropriated General Fund of said
Township of Russell to be trans
ferred to the Road and Bridge
Fund of said Township by reason
Of the fact that there is a surplus
in the General Fund and there is
not sufficient money in the Road
and Bridge Fund to take care of
the needs of said Township and
for the further reason that the
balance left in said General Fund
will be sufficient for the needs Of
said Township.
The prayer of said petition is
that the Court find that a necess-
ity exists for the said transfer
and that no injury will result
therefrom and ordered the petition
ers to make such transfer.
Said cause will be for hearing
before Honorable Judge Harold j.
Richmond in his court room in
said County on the 9th day Of
June, 1868, at 11:00 o'clock AN.
or as soon thereafter as suits his
convenience. Any person or per
sons objecting to the prayer of
said petition shall file their OBJ
jeCtiOns in such cause on or be-
fore the. date of the hearing.
