Agricultural Adjustment | Loans Farmers Called To Meet Corn And Hog Producers To Discuss Reduction Program All corn and hog producers in Luz- erne County who are interested in the (corn-hog reduction’ program are in- vited to attend a county-wide meeting today at 1:30 P. M,, in the office of the Luzerne County Co-operative Associa- tion, rear 84 Scott Street, Wilkes- Barre. If sufficient interest is manifested in this reduction program, a county as- sociation will be formed. A recent ruling by Dr, chief A. G. Black, of the corn-hog section of the Administra- tion, says that all hog producers re- gardless of their past hog production now are eligible for hog reduction pay- ments. A previous ruling specified that if the 1932-33 hog litter average was less than three, the contracting producer was not required to reduce hog pro- duction in 1934, and in any event was not eligible to receive any hog reduc- tion payments. Under the new ruling, all producers will be entitled to reduction payments of $5 per head on wa number of hogs equal to 75 per cent of their past aver- age of market hog production, pro- vided their litter average and produc- tion of hogs for market is reduced not less than 25 per cent. In cases where the litter average is less than four, this means that the contracting producer will have to reduce by one litter in or= der fo comply with the contract, even codes; inter-industry and inter- (Continued Page 8.) on on though this: ‘will constitute \tnore a 25 per cent reduction from th Fgh to cause Q | | keton was | Drive Against Delinquents Is N earing Climax Borough Tax Association Hears Reports On Campaign FINAL NOTICES Reports on the progress made in col- lecting delinquent school and borough taxes in Dallas Borough were made to members of the Dallas Borough Tax- payers’ Association at a largely at- tended ‘meeting in the high school on Wednesday night. Warrants in action of assumpsit will be issued vet this week by authority of the borough school board in an effort to collect all delinquent taxes. It is hoped that the summoning of the de- linquents before a justice-of-the-peace will result in collection of the majority of the delinquent taxes without re- sorting to judgments and subsequent executions for sale. Borough council has already toward forcing delinquents through treasurer’s sale. The necessity for the campaign against delinquents has been made ap- parent by the large amounts of unpaid taxes owed to the school district and the borough. Approximately $17,600 is owed the school board in delinquent taxes which have accumulated during the past five years. An amount nearly as large is owed to the borough. Tremendous strides have already been made by the Taxpayers Associa- tion in its campaign to collect delin- quent taxes. That organization has issued a plea to delinquent taxpayers, urging that they ‘meet their obligations immediately without pressure in order to save both the school district and the council the expense which will re- sult from legal action.
