A. A. A. Prepares Contracts.
Payment of $300,000,000
Benefits Forecast.
(Copyriiht. 1934. by the Associated Press '
The A. A. A. Is expected to seek
only half as large a cut In next year's
corn acreage as It did this year.
The Farm Administration arranged
today to submit next year's contract
to farmers within two weeks. The
compact, it was learned, will require
signers to cut corn planting 10 to 15
per cent below the 1932-33 base acre
age of 105,500,000. This compares
with the 20-30 per cent cut asked
this year.
The cut in hogs is expected to be
between 5 and 10 per cent, compared
to this year's 20 to 25. Most atten
tion is paid to corn curtailment. Hog
numbers are already low. and officials
believe they can be governed by feed
control.
Production Estimates.
Should an overwhelming majority
of fanner* sign next year's com con
tract*. and some officials predict they
will, expectations are that acreage
will be reduced to between 90,000.000
and 94,000,000. Production, assuming
an average yield of about 25 bushels
an acre, would be between 2.250.
000,000 and 2.350.000.000 bushels,
compared with the average of 2,600,
000,000.
Either of these figures would be less
than the average yearly consumption
of 2.493.000,000 bushels, but officials
«ay there will be about 15,000,000
fewer hogs and 10,000,000 fewer cattle
at the beginning of next year, thus
requiring less corn. They also declare
production by farmers who do not
sign contracts will probably be stimu
lated by higher prices for corn and
; hogs next Summer.
Balance Predicted.
The 10 to 15 per cent reduction
is felt to be a proper balancing point
j to compensate for farmers who ex
pand production. This year's con
tract signers reduced acreage an av
: erage of 22 per cent and the total
: cut for the country was about 12 per
cent.
Summing up the situation, officials
said "Peed requirements, hence need
for feed production, during the eom
Inf yetr will be under the avertce
of past year, for the reason that
live stock numbers will be relatively
■mall
“Thus fhe corn crop In 1935 can
be 13 to 15 per cent smaller than the
average and still supply adequately
the hog crop and other uses for
com.”
Benefit will be paid for 1935 on
practically the same basis as this
year. The total is expected to be
shout the same, $300,000,000,
