Regulations Tighten On Land Out Of Production
More than 700 farmers heard a full briefing on the corn hog allotment program as outlined by Harry G. Gould and S. R. Winter. Temporary county committeemen were elected to organize precinct sessions and community committees. District totals favored Paul Collart in district two and Tom Allington in district one, with Arthur Borcher leading district three.
