Iowa officials announce a broad campaign to explain the 1934 corn-hog production adjustment contract issued by Secretary Wallace and approved by President Roosevelt. Farmers must cut corn acreage at least 20 percent and hog production 25 percent below 1932-33 averages. Payments total 30 cents per bushel on reduced corn yield and $5 per hog head on 75 percent of 1932-33 market hogs, with phased installments. The drive seeks full cooperation to lift prices and reduce surpluses, outlining detailed contract provisions and farm rental protections.
