The receipt of these payments marks the beginning of an influx of about $725,000 in final 1934 and advance 1935 payments to 2,500 Minnesota, Iowa and North Dakota growers under their sugar beet pro duction adjustment contracts. Of this amount, about $500,000 will be distributed to 1,740 farmers in 22 Minnesota counties, $110,000 to 317 farmers in six counties of eastern North Dakota, and $100,000 to 471 farmers in nine counties of north ern Iowa.
