County Halts All Action After ACA Ruling
The 1936 county-wide halt in Van Wert follows the Supreme Court strike of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Farmers face contracts totaling about 200000 dollars, with 125000 tied to 1935-36 corn hogs and 76000 to sugar beet growers in the Paulding district. Corn-hog workers continue in the courthouse amid possible voluntary service to finish 1935-36 contract work if pay is delayed.
