Traffic Charge Is Dismissed In Court Witnesses Change Testimony In Case A charge of disregarding a stop sign and of operating a motor vehicle without an operator's license, filed against James Carroll. 32. of Fort Wayne, was dismissed in city court this morning. The charge was dismissed when testimony by two witnesses revealed that Carroll was not driving the car which was involved in an accident on the Piqua road at the Bellmont road last April 7. At the time of the investigation, two girls, Judy Kaiser and Barbara Peterson, both of Fort Wayne, told authorities that Carroll had been driving the car. Carroll denied it, saying that Joe M. Weeks, 20. also of Fort Wayne, was driving the car when it crashed.

New Wheat Grades Effective June 15 tfew grades for wheat, the first major change in grain grade since 1934, will go into effect June 15, A. R. Halvorson, Purdue University extension agronomist, has reported. Wheat will have to be of belter quality to meet the new USDA standards, according to Halvorson. He said the new standards permit less foreign materials, fewer shrunken and broken kernels and less wheat of other kinds. Allowance for shrunken and broken kernels for all classes of wheat will be reduced to five percent for No. 1 wheat and eight percent for No. 2 wheat. Present tolerances are seven and ten percent. The allowance for wheat of another class will be the same for No. 1 and No. 2 wheat — five percent. The allowance for No. 2 wheat has been 10 percent. Halvorson said the changes in the standards for wheat graders are being made on the recommendations of farmers, grain deladers and exporters. They are intended to meet present-day requirements of the grain trade at home and overseas. Careful Compliance To Acreages Reserve Adams County farmers are reminded that methods of determining corn acreage measurements underscore the need for careful compliance with corn allotments and provisions of the soil bank's reserve program. ■ Corn acreages will be determined in tenths of an acre under both

the allotment and acreage reserve program, according to Oscar Brown, chairman of the county agricultural and stablizatlon and conservation committee. This is the way chairman explains it: “If a farmer with a corn allotment of 41 acres signed an acreage reserve agreement designating 10 acres for the corn acreage reserve, he would have a maximum of 31 acres of com 'permitted for harvest'. "If measurement of the fields revealed 10 acres actually held in acreage reserve and 31.9 acres planted to corn, the ’acreage permitted for harvest’ would be half an acre In excess. Corn on this excess. 5 acre would have to be disposed of by approved methods in order to get into compliance with acreage reserve program's provisions.” ,
