One of the misconceDtions. c.a ; that needs to be cleared up, I he said, is the one that says "the farmer is getting fat as pr I a market hog off government s" spending."

T. E. Watson, ASC fice manager, said yesterday. In connection with the acree measurement job farmers e urged to give complete operation when the reporter sits his farm.

Assisting in this measurg and designation of fields anted to allotment crops is finitely the responsibility of e farmer or his agent, he id. It is greatly to the rmers' advantage to be there id assist in the measuring. / being present the producer ill realize how the acreages e determined and he will be le to assure himself that the Efficiency in production is e only thing that has kept e farmer going in the face rising costs, Watson said, d is also responsible for reising a groat number of peoi for other jobs.
