Farm AAA Act Is Explained By Sexson In Detailed Summary

Eig+rt Points Are Listed In Explanation Given By Members Os India n a Conservation Board. TO HELP FARMERS - THF’Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, recently passed by Congress, is designed to provide an i all-around national farm program which will help farmers and at the ■ same time protect consumers of ’ (He nation, according to informa- i tion by V. D. Sexson, Pur- j due member of the state commit-■ tee. The principal points of the ■ program are summarized by Sex- j son, as follows: Soil Conservation The new farm program which is outlined in the legislation contin- i ues and supplements the Agricul- . tural Conservation Programs which , have been in effect for the past I two years under the Soil Conser- ' vation and Domestic Allotment Act 1 of 1936. Five Crops Upon the foundation of the conservation programs, specific provisions are made for the five crops —cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco and rice. For these crops the Act provides that the program is to be administered so as to provide for producing adequate supplies each year for domestic consumption and ex•port§“hud also to maintain ample TeseMitS. Ever-Normal Granary • The provision of the Act designSed to maintain supplies at specified levels are expected to bring ‘Wbout substantial increases iu reserves. particularly in the case of corn and wheat. Loans *• The Act directs that loans be Snade to corn, cotton and wheat under certain conditions. Aind authorizes loans to be made l)ii a other agricultural commodities at.tJ*o discretion of the Secretary if Agriculture and the President. -The’ loans are to be made by the 'JCommodity Credit Corporation, ♦which has made loans to farmers Jan cotton and corn in past years. ' i Acreage Allotments and Quotas • Arrpw and commodity allot- ■ Clients will be made for each of the : five crops. If a crop is so large < ■that supplies reach levels, the Act i <t>A>vides that a marketing quota ‘ Vill be effective if two-thirds of ! ■<he fanners voting in a referendum of producers of the commodity approve the quota. Effect For Consumers w AAA officials believe that consumers will be amply protected by jhfc. reserve provisions of the new j ••Act. The wheat supplies provided: xor are intended to assure ample j aiwheat at all times for the nations I "TTrCaa supply and for exports and ' reserves. The corn supplies are ex-1 tn;<;t£ik*to have a stabilizing iuflu-

Other Programs hi addition to the general program made possible by this Act J the other parts of the national farm program will be continued i under existing legislature. The su ! gar program made possible by the ' Sugar Act of 1937 will continue to ■ be administered in connection with i the AAA program. The range program, which was i a part of the Agricultural Conseri vation Program, will continue prac-1 I tically the same as in past years. ; The marketing agreements among fruit and vegetable and dairy pro-, I ducers will continue, as will the purchase of surpluses by the Fed-; I eral Surplus Commodities Corporaj tion for relief distribution and for ’ the purpose of relieving temporary surpluses of perishable crops. o HoftsE O !

DECORATION OF HOMES IS TOLD BY PURDUE LADY Interior Decorating Is Subject Os Meeting Held In City “Within your four walls, life is , tremendously more pleasant, if ’ those walls are right.'’ suggested } Miss Blanche Zaring of the Extension Department. Purdue Univer- ! sity. in a training meeting in the Moose Hall. Decatur. The question of how to decorate walls becomes a fascinating one when we stop to realize that every room is a picture of some sort, either good, poor, or just commonplace and the walls constitute the greater part of the backgrounds that are wrong. Spotty, restless designs and poor coloring in paper are two of the most common mistakes we see on walls. Undesirable coloring may I be either too strong and harsh, or ' it may be drab and uninteresting. . In fact, both are often seen on one paper such as garish pinks and blues against a muddy tan or taupe , background. Colors which are ! clear and clean give a cheery atmosphere in which we like to live. Skill Is Needed It is well to remember that a ! color seen in paper, or paint, will ; appear twice as intense applied to ■ the four walls, also that a basket 'of flowers which appears charm- ' I ing on a small sample may become I intolerable when repeated all a- ' round the room and lived with day ■ after day. Practically any room j can seem inviting on a sunny day. : but the test of a woman's skill is making it appear so even on a | | cloudy day. Warm tones such as j i soft yellow, peach, cream, yellow- ’ ish tan, and rich ivory are helpfnl , in north rooms and also rooms of other exposures where windows . are much shaded by trees or porch I roofs. One of the newer notes in wall decoration is the use of a colored I ceiling. In the average setting this j is best kept very light and soft, i however, and it may repeat a col- ' or in the paper or present a coni trast. Examples shown were of a ' shadowy diamond sidewall combin* i ing ivory, tan and green with a ceiling of soft green, and also a [ light apricot bedroom paper with a light blue ceiling. In the latter, naturally blue would be used else- , where in the room to complete the 1 i scheme. The next leader training meet-; ing will be held on April 21 at { which time the topic will be "Woodwork and Floor Problems." ‘ How to deal with both old and new ones will be given and different treatments on actual flooring samples will be developed as a 1 basis for conclusions. : cover, burn good humus soil, and injures trees permanently.

The normal "supply level" is defined in the act as being seven percent above a normal year's domestic consumption and exports. This is about 2.5 billion bushels. If actual supplies for market reach 110 percent of the normal supply level, or about 275 billion bushels, a referendum would be held to determine if marketing quotas would go into effect, if two-thirds or more of the commercial growers voting in such referendum want a marketing quota, it would go into effect for the marketing year beginning October 1. The chart shows the annual production of corn and the 1938 marketing quota level. In ten years production exceeded this level. The table shows percent of production iu each year which would have been stord in addition to the carry over.

ADAPTED SEED IS DESCRIBED Purdue Man Tells Which Seed Is To Be Considered Adopted Adams County farmers sowing red clover and alfalfa seed this; spring will be interested in word received from L. M. Vogler, chair-; I man of the State Agricultural Con- ; servation Committee, situated at] Purdue University, of the states and territories from which such ■ seed Will he considered adapted in ; Indiana and the North Central Re-j gion states, County Agricultural ’ Agent Archbold announced today. Red clover and alfalfa seed ■ grown in Canada and the follow-1 ing states will be considered adapted: Colorado: Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho. Illinois, Indiana, lowa. Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland. Massaehusette, Michigan. Minnesota, Missouri, Montana. Nebraska. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah. Vermont. Virginia. West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and certain counties in Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington. Mr. Archbold pointed out that when performance is checked of a farmers achievement of the soil building goal iu connection with the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program, only alfalfa and red clover fields seeded iu 1938 with adapted seed will qualify for the payments. Local farmers are urged to obtain evidence for the origin of seed purchased and preserve this evidence so it may be filed later with the county agricultural conservation committee. Vogler also reported to Archbold

, that he had received the following telegram from Claude R. Wickard. I former Carroll county farmer, and I now director of the A. A. A.’s | North Central Region: “In order’ to expedite program it has been I decided to have no non-diversion : farms or eareas in the North Ceti-1 Jtral Region in 1938.” PLANS SHOULD BE MADE NOW Farmers Should Begin Preparations To Eradicate Canadian Thistles — It may be a little early to start work on Canada Thistle eradication but it is not too early to make 1 1 plans for the job. Most every one is familiar with the spring pest and know that it not only damages crops and causes an increase in the cost of producing crops but a patch of thistle is a threat to the remainder of the field and farm. Canada thistle has a habit of spreading by seeds and by root parts and unless the small patch is taken care of. it may soon cover the entire field. Three methods of eradication have been found to be effective. Small patches can be eradicated by spraying with sodium chlorate, clean cultivation, if the area is too large to spray. Alfalfa is an excellent smother crop to use and a very popular method of eradication because it is possible to grow a valuable crop on the area while the thistles are being eradicated. A little planning of crops to be grown in the various fields should lie done now with the aim of cleaning up at least one patch or field of Canada thistle this year, which- , ever the case may be. 0 1 mile In A Good Town — Uecatur

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR BEET CROPS HELP ACREAGES More Farmers Expected To Grow Beets During 1938 Season Saginaw. Mich., March 4 -- Prelimlnary reports from all beet su-1 ‘ gar companies operating in Michi-1 ' gan, Ohio and Indiana indicate that excellent progress is being made | in contracting for the 1938 sugar , beet crop, according to an announcement made today by Arthur A. Schupp. executive Secretary of the Farmers and Manufacturers Beet' Sugar Association. “It appears.” said Mr. Schupp. "that hundreds of farmets who have not grown sugar beets con-1 sistently heretofore are contract-1 ing this year. In addition, thous- j ands of regular beet growers are' indicating a desire to increase their usual acreage. "Fortunately, the beet sugar factories in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana are equipped to handle all of the sugar beets that will be grown and we are not faced with the danger of over production as is I the case with other crops. In othler words, a large production of sugar beets will not result in lowI er prices for the grower and every i beet grown will be marketable since the compaijies will cd,ise contracting as soon as capacity runs are assured for the factories.’ When asked to explain the reasou for the large acreage being contracted this year, Mr. Schupp i said, “There are numerous contri- j I buting factors. For example, the I outlook for a good beet price in j 193 S is very promising while all ■ I authorities predict low prices on j other crops during the next twelve months. Secondly, the farmers iu ; the eastern area are beinning to I recognize that sugar beets is the I one non-surplus crop that they can grow with a reasonable assurance : of making a profit. Another reason for the marked interest in sugar beets this year is that the farmers ’ realize that if the beet sugar industry in this area is to continue, ’ and be given a worthwhile acreage allotment under the present quota system, it is necessary for the area to demonstrate its right I and its ability to supply a large portion of the sugar required by the people in the three eastern beet ; sugar producing states.” o — ♦ « ; Test Your Knowledge | Can you answer seven of these | ten questions’ Turn to page | Four for the answers. •» • 1.
