County Wheat Quota IsGiven by R. B. Haight

/

Production of 34,700 Bushels Allotment for 1933, the

Report States.

Beaverhead county’s wheat produc­tion average, upon which the county allotment will be based under the Agricultural Adjustment administra­tion’s plan for ,wheat production ad­justment, is 34,700 bushels.

This figure, which has been de­termined by the United States crop reporting board, represents the av­erage' total annual production of wheat in thé county for .the five-

l'year_period Jrom 1928 through 1932, inclusive.

The Beaverhead county allotment, which is. set a t 54. per cent of this

” average production to conform with the percentage of the total national wheat crop which is consumed do­mestically as - human food, totals 18,780 bushels. This^llotment is the maximum total upon- which individ­ual compensation^ payments can be mad&- within the county.

If all the wheat growers in the

3’-county should decide to “come in’’ on the Wheat reduction' program, the total, of their domestic Allotments would reach approximately the same figure as the county allotment

-The compensation payments will be based upon these individual» allot­ments. The amount of payments which will be made in Beaverhead county will depend upon the number of wheat growers who take advan­tage of the opportunity to partic­ipate in the wheat program.

The amount the individual will re­ceive is based on his average pro­duction for the years 1930, 1931 and 1932. The payment of approximately; 28 cents per bushel will remain upon 54 per ' cent of this average produc­tion. Should this average produc­tion be 500 bushels, be will receive, approximately 28 cents per busheîréni 270 bushels.

“As a result, ore that was margi­nal between costs and safes price will now show a rich profit. In some casés, this advance will, mean more than doubling the profits received from a mining operation.
