Adams county farmers for thiß first time voted in favor of whcalß marketing quotas by more thanß the required two-thirds majority® of those voting. But only a hand-f ful voted. Marketing quotas will mean higher prices for the wheat which is sold, and less work to produce it. They are the same as production cutbacks in industry. The oil industry is a good example. The wells are now producing only eight days a month, yet the price of oil remains high enough for the well owners to make a fair profit. If all the oil were taken from the ground, cutthroat competition would drive the price down to almost nothing, and would wreck our oil industry. Low farm prices can also wreck farming. Farmers have had low prices to them, and high prices for what they buy for such a long period of time, that the present prices, just 75% of a fair price, seem high indeed. o—o— • Tne following letter, addressed to the people of Decatur, was received this week from Ken Eliasson, Swedish exchange student who spent the past school * year with the Dr. Harry Hebble family. Ken has been a top student at Decatur high school, and has taken an active part in community life during his 10 months here. His letter reads as follows: "Next Thursday will be the end of a wonderful year for me. I am leaving Decatur for Dyersburg, Tenn., which is the starting point' for a bus trip through several states. After this trip I will go back to Sweden with all the unforgettable memories of America and especially Decatur. I will never forget you people of Decatur who have made this year the most exciting and eventful year of my life. I want to thank you for your friendliness and understanding and for your help in all situations. When I tell the Swedes about the Americans, I will tell them about the people of Decatur, who represent the real Americans, kind and warmhearted. Thank you for everything and goodbye. KEN ELIASSON.

I Why has Adams county been est out of the most recent lists □f flood disaster counties? Our farmers along the St. Mary’s fiver and Wabash river have been hit as hard as any others in the state. Many farmers alohg the creeks have also been hit. We have not been informed of any surveys in this county on flood damage. One man from the state flood control office did make a rainfall survey, but did not include any damage reports. An aerial survey of damage would give the best picture. However, more than $300,000 in valuable crops have been lost to some 500 farmers in this area because of flood. This is the second consecutive year of damage for these farmers, and the third year for many of them. Have the Federal and State agencies forgotten that the Wabash and St. Mary’s rivers also flow through Adams county? o o G. Remy Bierly, Decatur lawyer, former school teacher, former clerk and state representative, has thrown his hat into the ring for appellate court judge from the northern district. Candidates may file or withdraw up to noon today. Bierly had earlier stated that he would not be a candidate if it interferred with the plans of other Adams-Wells co u n t.y politicians, referring, probably, to the proposed candidacy of Von A. Eichhorn for secretary of state. Various state groups were lining up behind their favorite senate candidate, and at the same time making slate arrangements for the other candidates. The, scene was shifting so fast Sunday that the exact picture could not be given from one moment W-the next. The dominant state group"! nthe Democratic party is tjiat of the ButlerSkillen group. But former national committeeman Frank McKinney has been extremely active. He is now backing Vance Hartke for the senate, it is understood. The fourth district has been proMcKinney for many years, but Adams county has generally lined up with the state chairman, Skillen. The outcome will certainly be interesting this year.
