Question: If a man owns more
than one wheat farm or has an in
terest in the wheat crop on more
than one farm, must there be
cross-compliance between those
farms?
Answer: No Each farm stands
as a separate unit under the 1862
wheat program. II a man should
fail to comply with the program
on one farm, it won't effect his
payments or price support an an
other
Mr.. Henderson wants to remind
growers. however, that the mar
keting quota penalties for excess
wheat will be 65 per cent of par
ity in 1862 instead of the current
As per cent. Also, to be eligible
for price supports the grower
must comply with the minimum
10 per cent acreage diversion and
put that diverted land to conser-
walton uses. This must be in ad-
dition to acreage diverted under
any other program and normal
conservation use acreage.

phasized that by cutting back too
much on acreage, eastern wheat
growers stand to lose their ira
ditional markets and sacrifice a
stable source of income. Also.
farmers benefited from a wheat
crop early in the year providing
cash until later harvests come in.
Adding strength to current
thinking on acreage is the COM
mittee's position that since soft
wheat acreage has declined over
the years and is now very closely
in line with historically proven
needs, any further reduction is
bound to create serious problems.
Traditionally, wheat has been a
profitable small grain crop in es-
tablished wheat areas. More re-
Gently, soft wheats are being rec
ommended by experiment stations
and adopted by farmers as small

ment programs.
The soft wheat committe adds
that the 1862 wheat program has
been charted for one year only.
Therefore there is no way of fore
casting the nature of future pro-
grams-but it is certain that the
FARMS wheat history will be an
important factor. For this reason
the committee believes it is pru-
dent for the soft wheat grower to
maintain his farms wheat history

of the ablest men in Tupelo is
Frank Dodge, who came from the
little town of New Boston. N. II.
The first step which a northern

is to have the state pass law
whereby a city may issue these
revenue bonds to build factories
as we'll as to build toll roads. Thus
far, when a northern city has gone
TO it's legislature for such an
amendment. the bond dealers have
killed the proposed amendment.
They have been assisted by the
conservative municipal bond hold
ers of their community. These
bond holders have selfishly thought
only of themselves and have dis
regarded the welfare of their COM
munity.
HOW THE PLAN WORKS
Let us assume that an estab-
lished company with good credit is
willing to build factory in your
community costing 100000, pro-
vided the city will issue industrial
revenue bonds in this amount to
pay for the cost. The company for
which the factory is being built
takes twenty-year lease for $685.

and interest at very low annual

State Wheat Growers
Get Acreage Caution
continued from page one)

In addition to these quota re-
quirements, some small producers
may also be subject to marketing
quota penalties under certain con-
ditions, Zimmerman pointed out.
For example, farmers who have
not grown wheat in any one of the
past three years and who grow
wheat for harvest without an al
lotment in 1862 will be subject to
marketing quota penalties on the
entire production.
Another group of producers who
will also be subject to wheat mar
keting quota penalties are those
who have grown 1875 acres or more
in one of the three years, 1859.
1860. or 1861 and whose 1862 al
lotments are 1875 acres or less and
who grow for harvest more than
1875 acres in 1862.
Penalties may also apply to
small producers who exceed their
1862 allotment when that allot-
ment is greater than the acreage
planted for harvest in any one of
the years 1859, 1860, or 1861.
On farms where there is ex-
cess wheat acreage. the amount of
wheat subject to marketing quo
ia penalty would be twice the nor
NAL yield of the excess acres null
| :iplied by SIS per cent of the May,
1862. parity price for wheat.
Downward adjustment in this de-
termination may be made if the
producer furnishes evidence of his
actual production. In those cases
where a producer exceeds the ex-
emption. the penalty is figured
from the allotment rather than
the exemption.
Approximately two-thirds of the
wheat producers in the United
States grow less than Is acres of
wheat, yet these small producers
raise about one-sixth of all the
wheat grown in this country. Zim-
norman explained. By reducing
the wheat marketing quota ex-
emption. these growers now have
an opportunity to make a greater
contribution in the national eff
fort to bring wheat supplies more
