THE COTl'I.LA RUCOPD
1943 AA V
Program Announced
Aid to Dependent
Children Shows De rease
Maximum production from Ameri-
ca's wartime agricultural plant is the
basis of the 1943 AAA program an.
nounced .his .vei-K.
The program places emphasis on
the production of war crops and pro-
vides stiff payment deductions on
farms fulling to meet war production j s
goals, A. S. Miiikien, County Age^r’ n
pointed out.
Payments are designed to M l:, i t
full production of the ki ijM and in
the amounts needed, and^all crop
pay ments are to he con^F cent on the
degree to which tbrfarmer meets
his goals. Ul-dv.Ctions will be made
“■i>)in^i.iar'Tarm's maximum produc-
tion.adjustment payments, or allow-
ance, for failure to meet specified
goals of both allotment crops and
special warcrops.
Every farmer in the state cooperat-
ing with the program must sign a
farm plan outlining his part in war-
time production. In the plan the
farmer will list the wartime crop ad-
justments he will make to help him
meet his war production goals and
the conservation practices ho will ,
undertake to help get increased yields ients had

The board disparity between needs
of the children and the l.Mtrietiuiis
placed by the legislature upon max-
imum grants and maximum total ex-
penditures has placed the Dependent
Children program in a serious quan-
dary. The maximum grant is $16
a month to a one-chnd family and
$24 to any other family regardless of
size. Total payments cannot ex-
ceed $125,000 a month out of state
funds. The adequancy of this may
be compared with the 011 Age As-
sistance appropriation of St.-50.000
a month which at this time is no:
sufficient to pay all old-age grants

were reduced by the $10 cut to $6 for

Failure to plant at least 00 percent
of special crop allotments for cotton,
wheat and rice will result in pay-
ment deductions at the rate of five
times the compliance rate, which
means that u farmer’s crop p..yat n:
would be wiped out entirely sl.o ^
he plant only 70 percent of his allot-
ment. Under certain conditions,
however, farmers will be allowed to
substitute special warcrops or desig-
nated feed crop for their allotment
crops and still remain in compliance.
Failure to achieve 00 percent of
warcrop goals for a farm will incur
crop payment deductions at the rate
of $15 per acre, Miiikien said.
