New C-H Program To Be Offered Growers The corn-hog program for 1936-3? is designed to encourage soil-improve ment and to stabilize the production of corn and hogs for the best inter ests of the growers and the consumer. The need for building up the soil is now greater "than for increasing the planting of food and feed crops, said W. W. Shay, swine specialist at State College. The new contracts stipulate that land retired from com cultivation must be planted to soil-building or erosion-presenting crops, pasturage, trees, or the like, Shay stated. And this must be in addition to the land normally used for such pur poses, he emphasized. In the past, he added, the produc tion of hogs has fluctuated widely. Either a surplus or a shortage of pork is undesirable, and the program will tend to keep production in line with consumption. A grower may agree to adjust his com producthion next year by 10 fo 30 per cent of his base and receive an adjustment payment of 35 cents a bushel on the average yield of the land taken out of com. To receive the maximum hog pay ment, the grower raise not less than 50 per cent nor more than 100 per cent of his market base. The pay ment will be $1.25 for each hog in his market base. Under certain conditions, a grower may sign to adjust'his com crop and keep his hog production the same, or to adjust his hog production and keep his com crop at the same level. In 1937 the adjustment and pay ments will be similar to those in 1936, the exact rate to be announced later by the Secretary of Agriculture. The 1 new contracts will be ready in the ? next few weeks, Shay added. I ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as administrator of the estate of W. R. J.
