Untie to assist with educational phases of the program. One of these advantages is the lack of restrctions on use of land shifted from corn production on which the federal government will pay rental benefits. 'Hie other important change is that there will be no restrictions on the num. ber of feeder pigs one contract signer can purchase from another signer. No such thing as "contracted acres" wil lbe designated in the contract.

The land taken out of corn production will be known as "shifted acres" and no definite area need to be designated as such. The producer will merely be held to his allotted acreage of corn. Tiiis change will make checking of compliance easier and will give thc farmer more freedom in farming operations, which will be essentiul because of the shortage of feeds and the destruction of many hay and pas. ture stands by drouth. Corn acres in 1935 may be located on any part of the farm.

The contract will permit the use of the shifted acres for growing any crop, other than corn for any purpose. It places no limitation on thc total area devoted to culti. vated cropa or qn the total acreage cil for reeelectioini Every member has given unselfisblessly of his time often to the detriment of his own individual business and the unwarranted attack on them through th-j unnecesasry audits has the disapproval of these many friends who have the welfare of the city at heart.
