Show OFFICIALS REOPEN WHEAT I'ROGRAM IN UTAH Immediate reopening of the wheat program to give farmers of Utah who have not yet signed up an opportunity to join the adjustment plan of the AAA, as announced by Director William Peterson, manager of the administration admin-istration for Utah. This announcement announ-cement was made following communications com-munications from Secretary Wallace Wal-lace and Chester C. Davis, administrator ad-ministrator of the AAA. Farmers who sign up now will be eligible tor the final 19 3 3 payment and the 193 4 and 19 3 5 adjustment benjefits, but they will not receive the first payment pay-ment of 20 cents' a bushel on their allotments promised earlier ear-lier signers, Director Peterson says. However, the new signers will begin receiving benefit payments pay-ments when the second payment of 8 cents a bushel, less local costs, is paid. County control associations already al-ready in existence will provide the basis for the sign-up machinery mach-inery and additiontional supplies, if necessary, will be furnished them by the department of agriculture agri-culture at Washington, D. C. Signing up of farmers who wish to take advantage of the opportunity oppor-tunity will begin at once, Director Dir-ector Peterson says. Those who are interested should make inquiry in-quiry at the office of a county agent or write directly to Director Direc-tor Peterson at the state extension exten-sion office at Logan. In the original wheat adjustment ad-justment campaign approximately 209,670 acres of wheat-producing land In Utah came under contact. This represents a Tl per cent sign-up. There remains, according to AAA officials, 62,-172 62,-172 acres of wheat land not under un-der contract in this state. By reopening the wheat program it is hoped that the majority of the non-contracted acreage will come under the administration's reduction policy. |
