quired to raise the additional $291,
000 required for the sewage disposal
program.
Revenue bonds amounting to ap
proximately $200,000 would be re
tired by a sewer tax, which would
cost water patrons about what their
yearly water bills now total. In
other words, a minimum water bill
of $12 for a year would entail pay
ment of an additional $12 for sewer
charges necessary to retire the bonds
and pay for cost of operating tne
plant.
The remaining $91,000 would be
retired by special assessment against
each lot in town, amounting to about
$9 per year.
General obligation bonds and the
special assessment would bf for 20
year periods, and the revenue bonds
would run for 25 years.

Bluffton area corn production,
which apparently will set new rec
ords this fall, may be sharply re
stricted next year by government
controls.
This season’s corn crop has been
favored by almost ideal growing
conditions, and district farmers say
they never have seen prospects better
for a bumper yield. Everywhere
throughout the area tall stands of
corn growing rank in the field re
flect the stimulus of favorable
weather.
Many farmers, who recently re
ceived their new government wheat
allotments, had planned- to put next
summer’s surplus acreage in corn,
but indicated federal restrictions
may result in a hitch in the pro
gram.
Rich farmland surrounding Bluff
ton comprise one of the major corn
hog producing areas of the state,
and as a result corn grown here
rarely is sold on the market. In
stead it is fed to hogs and market
ed in the form of livestock.
Await Developments
How much effect government con
trols may have on hog feeding will
depend on the degree of restrictions,
farmers say, and a definite picture
of the situation will not be avail
able until government announcement
of 1950 plans.
Possibility of government control
crept into the headlines this week
with announcement that the govern-
ment could own enough corn a year
from now to feed near y a thi of
the ilation’s livestook for a full year.

rt pointed out la st week that
this year’s corn crop ooks as if it
will fall only n-ee ?r cent short
of equailing tlu rucoi 1948 yield
of 3,650,000,000 bushel
SURPI.I -s Gr )WS
The estimated crop, plus a carry
over of 800,000,000 bushels from last
year, would provide a total corn
supply of 4,338,000,000 bushels for
the feeding season beginning Oct. 1.
This is 1,158.000,000 bushels more
than the agriculture department ex
pects will be used domestically and
exported.
It also was pointed out that the
government already has more than
500,000,000 bushels tied up under
1948 price support operations.
A year from now the amount un
der price support could be double
that figure, and the government’s
present support price is around
$1.46 a bushel.
If controls are invoked, they
could take the form of acreage al
lotments or marketing quotas. Quo
tas, much more restrictive in their
effect on production than allot
ments, require approval of at least
two-thirds of the growers in a ref
erendum.
In the past allotments have been
used to restrict output.
