ASCS Farm Notes

THREE More DAYS to file an application for price support on soybeans, wheat, oats or rye. January 31 is the final date. Applications must be filed in the ASCS county office, located at 201 South First street, Decatur. Office hours Monday through Friday are 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We do not close during the lunch hour. However, we are closed on Saturdays. 1961 Feed Grain Resnlts: According to reports, farm income for 1961 was up. Most agricultural economists -agree that the 1961 feed grain program had a tremendous effect, not only on farmers’ income, but also on the over-all economy. This program helped increase farmers’ income by about a billion dollars. This was money spent by farm families on the main streets of America. It has accomplished the first cut in feed grain surplus in 9 years. It is cutting costs, chiefly through cutting production below use, thereby permitting sale of CCC-owned stocks. Storing, shipping, and handling are major costs— for example; every bushel of corn that CCC takes over and holds for an average period of 7 years, costs taxpayers about sl.lO. These are the kind of costs that run up the USDA budget—and it’s not the producer who gets the benefits. 1962 Feed Grain Program: We will have a 1962 feed grain program and it will be similar to the program in 1961. Under the 1962 feed grain pro-

gram you can help: Further reduce the wasteful and costly pileup of feed grains; hold production of feed grains in line wjth current demands; protect and improve our soil and water resources through applying needed conservation practices on diverted acres and save dollars for all United States taxpayers, including yourselves. Participation in the program will mean more income for farmers, lower costs to the government and less surplus grain. Government feed grains are used to finance payments for diverted acreage. Cooperators are protected in the marketing of their crop through higher prices supports. The USDA is taking care to sell payment-in-kind stocks without disrupting the market. Now is a good time for the farmer to study his farming operations for 1962 to determine how his operations can fit in the 1962 program. Expenses should not be overlooked, and should be studied carefully before final plans are made. The period of sign-up will be announced later, we suggest that farmers watch their mail for the rates established for their farms and continue reading this column, through which information will be forthcoming. The county committee and office personnel will attend a district meeting January 30, pertaining to the feed grain program. Agricultural Conservation Program: The 1962 Initial sign-up period for cost-share assistance is well underway. This period ends February 9,1962. Farmers who intend to carry out conservation practices before July 1 are urged to sign-up during this period in order that their requests may be considered by the county committee at an early date. Many requests for purchase orders are received for vendors who have not signed an agreeHoosier Soldier Is Killed ih Germany BAMBERG Germany <UPD — Pfc. George F.
