The first benefit payment under the sugar program were mailed from Washington the day after Christmas and went to producers in Weber and Morgan counties. , These checks were in the producers' hands before the end of the year. The first 122 checks totaled $8,792. These counties coun-ties were the first in the United States to submit contracts, and other Utah contracts are being sent as rapidly as they are completed. Mr. Peterson reports that the sign-up is practically completed, with all farmers farm-ers giving hearty cooperation. Payments which cooperating producers pro-ducers are now receiving are on the first installment of the 1934 benefit payment. This first installment is at the rate of $1 a ton on the estimated esti-mated production of the acreage which the cooperating farmers planted plant-ed for 1934. The second installment, which is to be paid next summer, is to be the amount necessary to give producers a parity return on their crop. : n |
