Show Corn Hog Voters Favor Referendum The agricultural adjustment administration admin-istration announces that approximately approximate-ly 69 per cent of all producers voting in the corn-hog referendum meetings favored continuing the adjustment through 1935 and that, in view of this substantial majority, a new corn-hog program definitely will be formulated and offered to producers as soon as possible. With 41 states, including all of the principal corn and hog growing areas, having reported approximate preliminary prelim-inary results, the referendum ballot now stands 345,310 in favor and 153,-181 153,-181 dissenting on the development of a new program. The farmers were asked to vote on the following questions: 1. Do you favor an adjustment program for dealing with corn and hogs in 1935? 2. Do you favor a one-contract-per-farm adjustment program dealing with grains and livestock to become effective in 1936? Nine hundred and forty-four Utah farmers voted in favor of question one, with but 88 dissenting. Those voting in favor of question two were 809, with 192 voting vot-ing against. "The referendum results seem to indicate in-dicate rather clearly that corn-hog producers want a follow-up program," Dr. A. G. Black, chief of the administration's admin-istration's corn-hog section said. "In view of this indication, it has been decided to offer a definite plan as soon as the necessary provisions can be worked out. As was stated during the referendum, such a plan probably will follow the general outline of the 1934 contract, involving control requirements re-quirements and benefit payments with resjx'ct to both corn and hogs." |
