29. The campaign to obtain signatures to corn-hog reduction contracts was started today by the farm administration with the issuance of administrative rulings and directions to field workers. First copies of the rulings and directions were airmailed to s'ate extension directors in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota. Copies to county and community committee workers will be sent within a few days. "The completion of the administrative rulings and directions for handling the contracts meanB the corn-hog reduction campaign has really begun," Dr.

A. G. Black, chief of the corn-hog section of the administration, said. Secretary Wallace said the 5, rulings seek to make the contract clear and insure a fair deal for everyone concerned. For the most part they concern landlord-tenant relationships, but also make exceptions to application of the reduction program and define methods by which production figures of producers may be checked by local communities.

Fair division of all money paid as benefits in return for corn acreage reduction is provided for in the ruling, which declares that tenants under a crop-share lease during 1934 shall share payments with the landlord on the same percentage basis as the division of the corn crop under the 1934 lease. In case of cash rental in 1933 the benefit payments during 1934 are to be distributed equally between landlord and tenant. Hog payments are to be divided in proportion to the respective contributions of the producer and landlord in the of hogs produced for market from 1932 and 1933 litters. Provision is made for farmers who sold cows during the emergency buying campaign last summer. Such producers in figuring their estimates of production during the base period will be allowed to add four pigs to their fall farrowlngs of 1933 for each sow sold.

Hog producers who do not intend to continue in business may assign their eligibility to reduction and benefit payments to another person providing the latter was not engaged in hog production the last two years. Producers who sign contracts are exempt from reduction If their average planted acreage of corn during the last two years was less than ten acres and If their average number of litters, when farrowing during the last two years, was less four. The rulings bIbo stipulate what crops may be grown on acreage retired from production and provide that such crops cannot be harvested for hay.

JPOR years a number of Barry county citizens have known ot and appreciated the scenic beauty of Natural Bridge and its adjacent hill? and hollows with their numerous springs, but it has taken a Kansan to appreciate this wonder of nature fully enough to give his time and invest his money into its development. A short time ago the five hundred acre tract (which if It were spread out as level as the prairies of his home state would make six or seven hundred acres) was purchased by attorney J.

P. Willis of Ottawa, Kan. Mr. Willis at once visualized the possibilities of the place and began to make plans for its development. He is now carrying his plans into execution.

Upon driving to the place now one finds a crew of men at work in the timber, at a saw mill, and In the erection of rustic, small cab-Ins. A little later one will find men at work clearing off the small growth and underbrush, doing some landscaping here and there, building drive ways, and otherwise improving appearances. Early next spring a dam is to be built just below the Natural Bridge for a large swimming pool. A walk way to be built from the bridge around the overhanging ledges of limestone towering some fifty feet above and overlooking a hollow and adjacent bluffs will be another place ot special interest. Mr.

Willis plans to have forty or fifty cabins built by next summer. Each cabin will be on a spot of scenic beauty and near a spring. Near the Natural Bridge, which Is one of the wonders of the Oz- arks, he plans to erect a pavilion which may be used as a recreation center. The Natural Bridge Is located di rectly on the new farm-to-market highway now being built from the Cassvllle-Shell Knob highway to Eagle Rock. The Natural Brldtre is located about one-fourth mile southeast from the highway.

To appreciate this marvel of nature it must be' seen. As soon as the highway Is completed and Mr. Willis has time to complete the work he has under way this will be one of the places of scenic beauty of this entire section of the Ozarks. You will hear more of Natural Bridge. NEW LAW FIRM F.
