St3te A'-l v1)0 e.a major sdjustmmt prob-ri,- Prevent an excessive production pro-duction of hogs in 1937, a ccn-ac;, ccn-ac;, of more than cn- year's curat ion is necessary, it was Pon ted cut at the Wa-shin.gtor, conferancc. A two-year contract, ' w?s thought, would be wel-om-d by former- in order that, they might plan the:r farming; P rations more than one year in I advance. i The main cbjective of the rew l-Togram will be to malnfc-in a baianco between the production r id con rumptica of ccr.-j .p.ni hos during the next two years To swemphsh th s objectlvi, it will be rec-.ssary to (1) prevent an e-y.o c.av-, production cf ccrn in 1936 and 1937, (2) allow an in-eras in-eras i :n next year'ei pig crop 'H"-- would be ft least as great as it is estimated would take place v.ei'e no adjustment program in efT ft, ai.id (3) pre v tit an excessive exces-sive irjcr:i."ise in the 1937 pig crop. The Adjustment administration nias recommended that com production pro-duction next yr-ar hi limited to 95 million acres, er about 10 million j -Sewer than would be likely to be , harves.L-d without .adjustment. Ths would require an aggregate '"djustrrpnt of approximately 20 percent c:n the part of all contract con-tract rigners. Depending upoa the. 1G36 corn crop and the d manid f-xp oled next fall for the 1937 , eri p, a maximum, corn reductien of 25 percent has been proper d j for 1937. Proposed hog adjustm'nts are enlculated to provide: for a 30 per-ci per-ci irt incr ase in f"dernlly ms elected elec-ted slaughter in 1936-37 above the ' si- uq-hter pxpc;ed in tbj preDent . market-erg year which began Oc-tcb Oc-tcb r 1, 1935. It in believed that a pe-rmitted hog production equal t: 100 pe.-cent cf the ba.ee will allow al-low for the desired increase in teg numbers next year. The r.ew corn-hcg contract will lequira that an area at least equal to ,;ee number cf acres held cue of corn be added to the usual area of tne farm deveted to seil-improving seil-improving and erosion-preventing U-X2.
