at the local office of the District Valuer of the Board of Inland 

 Kevenue. The Assistant Overseer may also possess a copy of 

 the map of his parish. In case of difficulty, inquiry should be 

 made of the Cultivation Officer of the County Agricultural 

 Committee. Farmers are advised to take steps forthwith to 

 ascertain the numhers of the fields sown or intended to be sown 

 with wheat or oats as shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey 

 Map. 



Mixed Corn. — Where wheat or oats have been produced 

 intermixed with another crop, the amount payable in respect 

 of the area of wheat or oats will be adjusted in such manner 

 as may appear proper, but the claimant will be required to 

 state in his claim the quantity of each kind of seed sown 

 per acre in the mixed crop. 



Persons entitled to Claim. — The person to make a claim is 

 the person who on the 1st September, 1921, is the occupier of 

 the land on which the wheat or oats have been produced. 

 Where, however, there has been a change in the occupation of 

 the land and the outgoing tenant is under custom or other- 

 w'lQe entitled to harvest the wheat or oats, he will be the person 

 entitled to claim. 



Land Negligently Cultivated. — In any case where it appears 

 that land in respect of which a claim is made has been negli- 

 gently cultivated, the payment to which the claimant would 

 otherwise be entitled may either be altogether withheld or 

 may be reduced to such extent as may be thought proper to 

 meet the circumstances of the case. 



Penalties under the Act for False Statements. — The attention 

 of farmers is drawn to the importance of filling up their claim 

 forms accurately and carefully. 



Section 3 (3) of the Corn Production Act, 1917, provides 

 that:— 



If for the purpose of obtaining a payment under this part 

 of the Act, either for himself or for any other person, any per- 

 son makes any false statement or false representation, he shall 

 be liable on summary conviction to imprisonment with or 

 without hard labour for a term not exceeding six months, 

 or to a fine not exceeding fifty pounds, unless he proves that 

 he did not know and could not with reasonable diligence 

 have ascertained that the statement or representation wa& 

 false. 



Amounts improperly obtained are recoverable by the- 

 Ministry.
