Show Each Grower j Asked to Get Wheat Records "By compiling records on how much wheat they planted and produced pro-duced In the last three years, farmers far-mers can speed up the Government's Govern-ment's adjustment program, says Director William Peterson, fan charge of the agricultural adjut1 ment administration in Utah. Past production records of each farmer are needed to determine th allotment of each. He suggests that wheat farmers get the following follow-ing Information ready now: Number of bushels grown each year from 1930 to 1932. Number of acres of wheat plants ed for the crop of each of these years. All that Is needed is the total number of bushels of wheat grown on each farm. It all counts in a farmer's total production for the purpose of the wheat program, whether it has been spring or winter win-ter wheat. If a farmer has moved from one farm to another in the three-year period, he should make a separate record of the wheat grown on each farm. If he has operated more than one farm, he should also have the Information for each of them. By using ele-j vator, freight, threshing, or bank; deposit records, the Administration Administra-tion believes that each farmer can get accurate estimates. Each farmer will later be asked lor the records on past production and number of acres planted to wheat in the last three years. The county association will use these to determine each farmer's allotment. allot-ment. Figures turned in by each farmer are to be published in the local press. Director Peterson emphasizes that the allotment to each county is computed from official records at Washington, D. C, and is all the county can get. It is up to the farmers, through their county association, as-sociation, to divide it fairly among themselves." |
