bushel surplus of wheat when the new crop year begins July 1. This is the prediction of the agriculture department. \ According to the latest department wheat situation report, the 1955 carryover will be the greatest in history, and will top the 1954 surplus by 100 million bushels. The department is hopeful, however. that with acreage controls this year, the carryover on July 1,

Ifß a fact— never before in the history of the automobile industry has a car offered so much power for so little money as the 1955 Pontiac. It is the first and only automobile ever built that delivers 200 horsepower at a price every new-car buyer can afford— hundreds of dollars less than any car equalling its blazing performance. And that’s not all! Pontiac is also the sole automobile at its price to unite the terrific “drive”, of 200 horsepower with a road-leveling 122' or 124' wheelbase and such big-car stability. It's the biggest as well as the highestpowered car ever priced with the lowest. Yes, you read that right! You can buy a big,

1956, will be slightly smaller. It is estimated that the winter wheat crop, which will be harvested in the early summer, will total 662 million bushels, a decline of 16 per cent from last year. The department will make its first estimate of the 1955 spring whaet crop, to be harvested in late summer, on June 10. If. however, farmers planted as much acreage as indicated on March 1, the spring crop will yield about 177 million bushels. This would put the total 1955 crop at about 840 million bushels. Meanwhile, agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson has answered a letter from Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D S. C.), demanding to know why the interest rate has been raised on farmers home administration production and economic disaster loans. In reply to Johnston, Benson conceded that the interest rate was boosted from three to five per cent without benefit of any public announcement.. He said the increase was neces sary to keep the FHA from being competitive with private money lenders. The secretary added: “I learned only recently that there was not a press release fully explaining the action at the time it was taken. There should have been such a public announcement. I reemphasized that it is a firm policy of this department to keep the public fully informed on all im portant actions." Benson contended that emergency loans "are being administered as intended by congress in a very sympathetic and understanding manner.” Citizens Telephone Host To Officials The Citizens Telephone company of Decatur is host today to a meeting of all the officials that could be spared from their newly acquired branches in Nappanee and Argos. The purpose of the meeting is to modify and standardize various construction and installation methods. The group is touring the local office and also the warehouse on West Adams Street. Included in the general inspection is a trip to Berne to examine the telephone exchange there. The Berne is the approximate size of the new dial exchange being installed in Argos. There are no immediate plans for the installation of a dial system in Nappanee because of the very efficient service enjoyed there. The local telephone company received approval from the state public service commission in Fein ruary to purchase the common stock of both the JSlappanee and Argos companies. The two branches were taken under control by Citizens Telephone company April 1. Recently the company was granted permission to issue and sell 6,000 shares of preferred stock.
