F. Kueeker, President of-the McHenry County Corn-Hog Association states that very satisfactory progress is being made at th,e present time in getting the contracs in shape for sending to Washington. The State Board j of Review has okeyed the figures for j •the county and by the end of this ! week it is expected that all contracts ; will have been signed. At the present : writjng approximately half of the con- I tracts have been typed and Chemung, Alden, Hebron, Richmond, Burton and j McHenry Townships have signed the | contracts for second signatures. Bene- j fit payments to cooperating farmers j will exceed the $100,000 mark. Re- j ports from a few counties that have j sent in contracts indicate that the first payment has been received within j about two weeks1 after the contracts have arrived at Washington. ~ j Compliance Data To Be Obtained ' Field inspectors are being appointed ; for the purpose of determining . whether or not contract signers' have ' carried out their part of the Corn-! Hog agreement. Inspectors will visit every farm covered by a contract and j will examine the records kept by the J signers, will measure the corn acre?, ; will count the hogs and make an of- j ficial report of the cooperator's com- ] pliance. Proof that contract signers have complied mfust be furnished the , AAA Corn-Hog section before second payments will be made this fall. Most of the new rulings that have been made from time to time by the Corn- Hog Section.have liberalized the program to permit farmers to" meet the drouth situation. One of the recent rulings permits producers to make unlimited purchases of feeder pigs without restrictions as to status and location of the seller for the period of August 1 to November 30, 1934. When exercising this privilege the pontract signer is required to keep such purchase pigs separate from hogs produced on the farm, or make them subject to ready identification by ear mark or other reliable means. Also within one week following the date of purchase the purchaser must file with the County Allotment Committee a statement showing: 1. The date the statement was submitted to the County Allotment Committee. 2. The date of purchase. ' 3. The name and address of the seller. Genuine concern as to how the fiddler will be paid for relief music costing more than two billion dollars is revealed in confidential reports from scouts completing surveys throughout the country. A cross section of opinion in -industrial circles shows that business generally is lacking in courage" to undertake extensive recovery, programs largely because of uncertainty as to governmental policies. It is said that President Roosevelt is now, conscious of the growth of this dubious sentiment to such an extent that he contemplates giving definite assurance of stability to business. The entire Rooseveltian recovery program will'be in a precarious position unless business itself is permitted to start a well-defined course. The ventilation of complaints, as to retarding factors, disclosed the unwillingness, of employers generally to operate their factories and shops at full blast because the buoys or governmental policies were moved around to satisfy a sudden idea or whim of those in high authority. Mr. RooseVelt leaves late this week for his ancestral home~in Hyda Park, N. Y. The executive offices adjacent to the White House have been demolished and will be reconstructed. The President will carry jon his official duties from -his private home where it is reasonably quiet? Special communication systenris have been rigged up between the "White House and Hyde Park. Meanwhile, political advisers are endeavoring to persuade the President to deliver a few speeches over a national hook-up or preferably in person in the West and Middle West where discontent over the New Deal is reported at an alarming stage. Public sentiment regarding national personages and policies is so unstable that the measurement as to switches of opinion is almost impossible. Fen' instance, observers report that the President's personal popularity with the rank and file is relatively undiminished. The Roosevelt sympathizers are inclined to place the short' comings of the New Deal squarely on the shoulders of the Chief Executive's advisers, mentioning specifically Wallace and Tugwell on agricultural matters and Farley's patronage system for political failures. If current reports from various sectors are reliable, the average Roosevelt follower would like to soe new faces among the close ' advisers to the President with feWer college professors and practical men in the saddle at Washington. Jim Farley undoubtedly is 'apprehensive of the situation for he has started another tour of the centers of political unrest Farley went out of his way to play the old army game of veteran politicians. He made a direct appeal to the rural carriers in his speech, Tuesday, August 21, at Denver, Colorado, when he told the boys, who are in direct contact with millions of voters in the country districts, just what his department and the Administration ^-generally were doing for the people. Jim stated he wanted to correct, **the impression that we were spending with the abandon of a sailof home from a long cruise." Mr. FarC ley contended that the cold facts shovF™ that the Administration isoiot, "ignoring the burden of the Arnerican tax* payer." On the contrary, Sunny Jin| said, "the administration has givei|; the finest exhibition of economy thifv country has had in a century. W»iS have held, down the normal costs o®;' Government so that there has been . saving of nearly three-quarters of »/. billion dollars." The Big Boy of th* Postal Service broadly hinted to th»;: rural, carriers that they should refresh the minds of their doubting friends on these, points, which is, off course, good' political strategy. 7^ ' The housing program, which is calculated to stimulate employment and looseji credit generally, is no|J going as smoothly as anticipated. Th^iij bankers, and building material houses j , and other groups expected to put theif. shoulders to the wheel are obstinately^ refusing to do anything until there v something more than nebulous promisf*^ es put on the table. ftp The drought problem is claiming the undivided attention of Federal: i agencies. The Administration's mov$«| to protect consumers against pro^i fiteering It* foods \& not entirely al- j truistic. The farmers an.d city folk«;;5: feel the crop control plan of the Agri<*;»v cultural Adjustment Administratioi^J aggravated rather than relieved th«£-- blight wrought by the intense spell. Those responsible for the AAA?£ are endeavoring to show that these impressions are not substantiated by facts. The government relief agencies will attempt to reconstruct the area affected by drought by means of an, enormous irrigation project and a wiatershed of trees.
