cultural Adjustment program revealed at least 1.000 farms in the

census as accurate and were reluctant to allow the county its full
rMiare of wheat acreage. ’ «_
Since the county's economy seems destined to be controlled or at
|msv supervised as far as agriculture is concerned Jt behooves every
county to have a complete and accurate count in the denstM as future
{trograma will no doubt be based largely on the results of the ahum-
#r*tly^nners will thus be doing themselves and their counties a dis-
