States Cut Public Debt Amid Recovery Gains
An Associated Press survey shows state governments paid off over 120 million dollars of public debt as better times reduced deficits. North Dakota led with a 20.043 million reduction since 1933, funded largely by federal sources and foreclosed lands liquidations. Several states followed with substantial bond relief and note retirements, including New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut, Arkansas, Delaware, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Michigan, with varying totals and timelines.

Hale Billion for 1407 Farm Program
Washington December 9 AAA officials forecast more farmers would share in the 500 million dollar benefit payments under the 1937 federal farm program. The plan aims to reduce corn acreage and reward soil fertility practices, with two payment classes for crop reduction and for soil improvement. Congress must appropriate funds before implementation. Drought trimmed about a billion bushels from 1936 corn yields, contributing to higher grain prices. The policy targets the two thirds of the crop produced on certain farms to curb surpluses and price dips.
