Agricultural Act of 1962 On Wednesday the policy execution chairman of the Adams county Farm Bureau called on the editor and requested that he write a factual editorial on the proposed “Food and Agriculture Act of 1962,” and on ' the Farm Bureau’s counter proposal. We agreed to do this, and explained that it is very difficult to write an editorial that is “bi-partisan” toward a given question. However, we will try to explain both sides of the question, and then give our conclusion. We ask each reader to weigh the facts, and then make his own decision. The proposal, according to the local Farm Bureal man, is expected to come up before one of of the houses of Congress next week. If you have an opinion which you wish to express to your Congressman, or to either or both of your Senators, their addresses are: Honorable E. Ross Adair, House Office Building, Washington, 25, D.C.; The Honorable R. Vance Hartke,‘Senate Office Building, Washington, 25, D.C.; The Honorable Homer E. Capehart, Senate Office Building, Washington 25, D.C. Information on the Farm Bureau’s proposal was obtained from an Indiana Farm Bureau pamphlet, “Farm Bureau and USDA.” Information in the proposed law, which is 106 pages long in the Congressional Record, was obtained from a U.S. Department of Agriculture pamphlet, “The Proposed Food and Agriculture Act of 1962.” Now, an editor with only a rudimentary farm background would be presumptuous to pose as an “expert” on a 106-page law, or its proposed replacement, after a one-day study. But it is possible to draw some valid conclusions. Both claim to have the same objectives: 1. To improve and protect farm income. 2. To reduce the cost of farm programs to the taxpayer. 3. To reduce the government’s excessive stock of farm commodities. 4. To maintain reasonable and stable prices to consumers for food, fiber, and other farm products. 5. To provide abundant supplies of farm products for domestic and foreign needs. 6. To conserve and improve soil, water, grasslands, and forests. 7. To expand opportunities for all Americans for recreational use of land, water forests, and wildlife. 8. To improve the living standards of rural communities through rural renewal.

second game Thursday and the final games Friday night at 6:30 p.m. — H. H. S. — The seniors are experiencing something new this year. They are required to write a 2,000 word term paper to be handed in on or before May 1 for their government class. Each member must choose a subject that is different from anyone else. Some reports are on people, countries, governments, wars, etc. The subjects are varied considerably, but they all have something in connection with government. Resources for these reports can be obtained from magazines, books pamphlets, letters, speeches, and interviews Each report must consist of at least three different resources. A term paper will not only be new to us, but I am sure it will be rewarding also. — H. H. S. — The senior English class spent a few days last week studying th“ form to be used on a term paper.

S. — Last Thursday five representatives from the Fort Wayne post office came to Hoagland to talk to the senior boys. These five reppresentatives were from four different branches of service: Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.

Highlights Os News Parley

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Highlights of President Kennedy’s news conference Wednesday: Steel Kennedy asked the steel unions and management to resume contract talks by next Wednesday instead of watting until after May 1. He said a steel agreement was necessary for a strong economy. Disarmament Kennedy said he favored adding Berlin end Southeast Asia to the agenda of the Geneva disarmament conference next week “if these matters come up and any progress could be made.” Space Kennedy said be sent a message to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev with specific proposals for Soviet-American cooperation in space. He withheld details until the message was received in Moscow. Foreign Aid He said he was strongly against a proposed congressional resolution to cut aid to nations that expropriate American firms without adequate compensation. He also said he hoped that other free nations could soon take over some U.S. foreign aid programs. Trade The President said the Geneva trade agreement was about as much as the government could do toward better foreign trade conditions until Congress approves his tariff liberalization program. 870 Kennedy urged a cautious approach on the 870 bomber program. He said the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with the exception of the Air Force, thought the government should not commit itself to a major construction program before tests of prototype bombers are evaluated in 1963 or 1964.

Chart, based on U.S. Agriculture Dept, information, shows that yields in 1961 were 40 per cent above 1950 levels, due to greater use of fertilizer, better plant varieties, more and better chemicals and machinery and more Skillful farming methods. 1,500 THE WHEAT CARRYOVER MOUNTAIN , MILUOHS OF BUSHELS TOTAL A || - ' ~ /mMI I //XZWA 9/, RED WINTER 1951 1956 I*l THE FAT YEARS—Unlike Egypt of the Biblical Joseph, future lean years do not promise to dent the nation’s stockpile of wheat.
