that continued warfare, either mili

national disaster more serious thar
heretofore known, seems entirely
justified. The days when a feudal

Rental Payments
Th® adjustment of cotton reduc
tion contracts to make the claims
>f past acreage and poundage con
orm to the known figures for the
production in .each county should
je completed within the next few
veeks, aeording to Dean I. O.
of State College.
Efforts are being made to start
he rental payments by the latter
part of April, so that the money
may be available te farmers for
use in the cultivation es the pres
ent crop.
The checks will be sent out from
Washington, headquarters of the
AAA, as fast as the revised eon
tracts are accepted there.
Tabulators at State College hare
flushed the checking of original
contracts in 24 of the 67 cotton
growing counties. There is some
overtsatement in the claims of past
production, but little difficulty is
anticipated in adjusting the figures,
Dean Schaub said.
Tobacco Growers Getting hi Line
Approximately half of the 08,000
contracts signed have been accept
ed by F loyd’s offlre at State Col
lege after their revision. The con
tracts now accepted cover about
one-half of the total acreage under
contract, Floyd estimated.
The rental payments on the acres
which are being retired from cul
tivation will amount to more than
$5,000,000. Another $2,000,000 will
be paid before long to equalize the
income from that part of the 1933
crop which was sold before prices
reached parity.
Probably more than $6,000,000 in
benefit payments will also he paid
the growers who reduce their pro
duction at the rate of 12 1-2 per
cent of the market value of their
1934 crop.
