CORN-HOG CONTRACT
ON BUSINESS BASIS,
The corn-hog adjustment contract
may be regarded as a simple bus
iness deal between the farm and the
Secretary of Agriculture, it is point
ed out by W. W. Shay, swine exten
sion specialist at State College.
The contracting producer agrees
under the contract to make a definite
reduction for 1934 of 20 percent in
his corn acreage and twenty-five
piuvnt in his hog production for
market. He also agrees to abide by
ether sections of tho contract, such.,
a- -fCgfilatTon of the use of contra- f
ed acres. j
Th< Secretary of Agriculture is
bligated under the contract to
make certain payments to the pro
ducer for fulfilling the contract
terms. For each acre of land ottered j
by producers and accepted for con
tract, the Secretary will pay in one
or mere installments a total of 30
cents per bushel on the estimated
yield of corn from the -conti acted
acres. The Secretary obligates him
:elf to pay 15 cents per bushel more,
ioss tlie producer’s pro rata share oi
local administrative expenses, on or
after November 15, 1934, upon such'
proof of compliance with the con
tract as may be required. j
The Secretary also agrees under
the contract to pay the producer a
total cf $5 per head on 75 percent
of the annual average number oi
hogs produced for market by the.
producer from 1932 and 1933 litters.
Of this amount, $2 will be paid ;
as soon as practicable after the con- j
tract is accepted. The remainder,
less the producer’s pro rata share
of local adminisrtative expenses,
will be paid in two installments, the j
first on or about November 15.
1934. and the final payment on or
about February 1, 1935. i k
...
A premium on hogs anu a rental ■
payment for corn land taken out of |
production in 1934 is offered North i
Carolina farmers along with those ot |
the middle west. i
“I would suggest that farmers of j
North Carolina who are growing
either ccrn or hogs for commercial
ourpose to make pfan= to sign a
corn hog reduction contract, es
pecially where they are also signing
either the tobacco or cotton con
tracts for 1934,” says W. W. Shay,
swine extension specialist at State
College. “The Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration is attempting
to reduce the production of corn
and hogs with the view of increasing
the prices of the two commodities.
Therefore the AAA will pay rent for
corn land according to its fertility
and will pay a premium on hogs if
the growers will reduce the number
of pigs farroed and sold.”
Shay offers to give any corn-hog
farmer definite information about
h< w the plan is to be worked if the
matter is tak>n up with him early
enough for the movement to get
started in this State. ,
To obtain benefits under the corn
plan, for instance, Shay says the
grower must agree to reduce his
rn acreage by 20 percent under
the average of 1932 and 1933. He
nay then collect at the rate of 30
’mts a bushel for the corn which
"his rented land was capable of pro
| lacing. Thus, if a man grew an
average of 100 acres of'corn in 1932
and 1933 and reduced this amount
to 80 in 1934, he may collect a ren
tal payment for the 20 acres on the
basis of what the land had pro
duced. If the land had produced 40
bushels to the acre, the rental for
the 20 acres would amount to
$240—a very good rental

CALLED FOR IN BILL
Airplane* Waflk Added To
Defame Force* of the
United States
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3fr-T he
house voted today a naval strength
which far surpassed, the cold statis
tics of the bill.
It debateo, passed and sc-nt to the
senate the Vinson treaty navy bil
culling for 102 new fighting ships
to bring the numerical strength o
the United States navy up to 24C
ships by 1939, but behind those stn
tistic? v as a fighting strength vast
iy augmented by the impiovrment
in warfare design since the days o
1919.
Ticrremlous cruiFing rarg».\ iiign:
speed, longer, more accural'
rner° *1 sadly gunfire and keener me
chauical eyes of scouting units have
been designed for the navy .‘■".nee the
World war ended and naval treaties
trimmed fleets.
Numerically, the number of fight
ing ships when the navy reaches its
treaty strength will be less than half
that of the navy in the fall of 1919,
240 compared with 559 ships then
listed a* "fit for service.” The in
crease in effectiveness i? another
story.
Navy officials decline for < bvious
reasons to discuss the speed and
cruising range of the new ships,
either on the ways or to bo put there
under the Vinson treaty measure.
Generally, it is understood, the
speed has been increased in a _pro
portion less than that of the cruising
range. Th* substitution of oil for
coal as fuel is the answer for the
increased cruising radius.
In this broadened cruising range
of United States ships is found a
partial answer to one of the naval
strategy problems—lack of naval
bases except in the remote Pacific.
The new ships have “blister ’ hull
construction, double hulls with oil
to take up the concussion of under
water explosions that ordinarily
crumple plates.
In the air, the treaty navy will

highly improved accuracy.
The two aircraft carriers now pos
sessed by the navy are the remains
of one of the naval men’s pet types
of fighting ship*.
The United. States possessed, either
under construction or in operation,,
a half dor.en of these ships at, the1
close of the war. The Washington]
naval treaty sent four battle cru,»ers
to.the scrap heap; two were saved1
for conversion into the present car-]
! t iers Lexington and Saratoga.
The battle cruisers, a hybrid
craft, had the stength of a battle.
ship and the flcetres.; of a cruiser.]
More than ten years ago the-c- 43,-.
j 500 ton fighters developed better j
j than 33 knets an hour and fpeed]
has been boosted since. The treaty |
navy biil provides for no battle |
cruisers. _ , !
i h ! 1919 figures lor naval |
strength included several types ov
v v‘:els in addition to battle ships
and battle cruisers—capital ships—
which were not included in tlie pro
pos'd Vins n treaty navy, sub
chasers, patrol vessels and gun
boats. Many of the original craft,
however, are still in operation.
The 1,184 airplanes the Vinson!
bill would add to the fleet would bo J
radically different craft from these*
that spotted the enemy and on oc
casions attacked his ships in World
war days. Th? regular equipment of
the large r fighting ships with one
or more planes for scouting pur
poses has come into general naval
usage by the navies of the world
since that time.
Don’t pay too much for your
money.
Ellerbe Springs has been purchas
ed as a community center for Rich
mond County. The springs feed in
to a five-acre lake, says, the farm
agent.
Alert farmers are demanding that
dolomitic limestone be used in their
fertilisers this spring in lieu of inert
sand and other filler, according to
recent reports.
