The American Cancer Society has stepped up its educational program on cigarettes and lung cancer with a new, 19-minute color film, “Is Smoking Worth It?” The film concludes that it is best not to start smoking, or to quit at an early stage if one has started. The object of the film is to stimulate classroom discussion on the health problems involved in cigarette smoking at high school level. The film makes clear that cigarettes are the principal controllable factor in lung cancer. An adult sequence suggests that parents control their own smoking problems also. Teen-agers whose parents smoke are more likely to develop the habit. The death rate from lung cancer has increased 953% in the past 30 years, with cigarette smoking as the major cause. Lung cancer death rates increase in proportion to cigarettes smoked until, as the film reports, a two-or-more-packs-a-day smoker has 21 times the chance of dying of lung cancer than a non-smoker. Yes, you can develop lung cancer without smoking — but the chances are 21 times greater if you are a chain smoker! Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.

ASCS Farm Notes

’CHANGES IN THE 1963 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: Chairman Lenard C. Paund of the Indiana ASC state committee stands that secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Freeman, has announced changes in the 1963 feed grain program. These improvements in the feed grain program are being made in a further effort by the administration to continue its policy of improving farm income. . The secretary has announced that the corn price support loan level'will be increased 5 cents — to a national average of $1.07 per bushel. The 18-cent payment is specified by law and, of course, remains as, announced previously. This makes the support level $1.25 per bushel. Increases are also being made in the other four feed grains as follows: Oats increased 3 cents — to 65 cents per bushel; barley increased 3 cents — to 96 cents per bushel; rye increased 5 cents to $1.07 per bushel and grain sorghums increased Y cents to $2 per bushel. The diversion payment on small farms is being increased. The producer who has a base of 25 acres or less and elects to divert all of it will receive payment on 50 per cent of the county price support rate times his normal yield for the entire diversion, up to the maximum of 25 acres. The sign-up for the 1963 feed grain program will start soon after the first of the year. Farmers should watch their mail for notification of base acreages and payment rates, which will be mailed as soon as information becomes available in the county office. Start planning now. 1963 WHEAT ACREAGE REPORTS: A few farmers have not returned their cards which were mailed in November, in the form of a double post-card, which was to be used to ’ report their 1963 wheat acreage ' seeded, or in case no wheat was seeded, the card should be returned reporting that no wheat had been seeded. The cards were mailed to all known farm operators. Any person, who is farming different farms for 1963, or landlords who 5 have changed operators are urged to call at the office to report such changes and report the wheat acreage. Also, any producer, who received a card, but has misplaced it, is urged to call at the county office as soon as possible. 83 per cent of the cards have been returned1962 AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM: Farmers who have received approval for cost sharing for 1962 ACP practices are reminded that practices must be completed by the deadline dates which were listed on the approval notices and reports must be filed in the county office before the final date. Also, if a practice will not be completed, we need a report of such fact in the county office. DID YOU KNOW THAT: The U. S. Department of Agriculture makes available an impartial, official inspection service for processed fruits and vegetables — canned, frozen, dried and dehydrated? This service also covers other processed foods, such as jams, jellies, peanut butter and coffee. This service is voluntary — offered on a fee-for-service basis, through the fruit and vegetable division of AMS. The value of farm assets rose to $207.3 billion January 1, 1962.— an increase of $7.3 billion from a year earlier? The increase resulted chiefly from rising prices for farm real estate. Farm debts also increased, though less than assets. The equities of farm operators and other owners of farm assets reached $179.6 billion on January 1,1962 — up $5.1 billion from January 1, 1961. Gross farm income of about S4O billion was nearly $2 billion higher in 1961 than in 1960. Although expensesi rose, the realized net income increased by more than $1 billion, or close to 10 per cent. . . . Farm population dropped

DtCATUH MftIOCRAI,

by one-third — from 23.1 million to 15.6 million from 1950 to 1960? On the average, at least a million people left the farm every year through the 1950’5. .... Even with many fewer people to divide farm earnings, per capita personal income of the farm population was $1,373 last year, or only 59 per cent of the $2,345 for the nonfarm population? This was true despite the 10 per cent higher farm income in 1961 than in 1960. More than half the poverty in America today is in the rural areas of this country. i .. . Through the Farmers Home Administration, the department has helped rural families to finance 15,000 new homes since tiie housing act of 1961 was passed? . . . Civilization reaches upward from the shoulders of agriculture. It began when one man consistently could grow more food and fiber than he needed.himself. Thus, he helped to feed and clothe another who could bcome a craftsman or perform other services. CENTENNIAL SEEDS Many of the farm programs of the past quarter - century reach out to the individual farm. So it is natural and wise that policies should be based largely on the advice and recommendations of local farmer - committees. Committees of farm producers were first used by the secretary of agriculture in agricultural adjustment programs of the early 1930’5. Later legislation specifically provided for farmer - committees — and it provided general directives for the election or appointment of committee members. These county and community committees, elected by their neighbors, are responsible for the local administration of the programs. They make local program decisions, and office staffs do the necessary administrative work. The local officers are the farmers’ contact for business concerning program participation. Currently, programs administered by the farmer - committees' include acreage allotments and marketing quotas, the agricultural conservation program, price support loans and purchase agreements, the sugar programs, the wool program, and feed grain and wheat stabilization programs, the livestock feed program, and special programs assigned by the secretary of agriculture by congress. Approximately, 90.000 farmers serve annually ' throughout the country as county or community committeemen. They see that they are administered effectively. A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY: Secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Freeman, recently stated: “The people of the United States are concerned about strengthening rural America in order that rural America may continue to make invaluable contributions to the strength of the nation. “Political philosophers, poets and historians have rightly spunded the praises of rural America. They have told of how the basic qualities • that have made Amelia g rea t — the spirit of initiative and independence, the dedication to ideals of democracy, the pioneering courage and drive that overcomes tremendous obstacles, the vision to aspire to a future of limitless possibilities — they have told of how all these qualities grew, and flourished, and bore fruit on the farms and ranches and in the small towns of our country. “This rural America, that has up to now contributed so much to our national growth and greatness, now faces a period of serious crisis —a crisis brought about by the same technological and scientific progress that has made American agriculture the productive marvel of the world. But let me make it perfectly clear that the real threat to rural America does not lie in scientific and technological progress itself; the real threat lies in a failure to direct the changes that grow out of that progress to meet the real needs and wants of all of the people. And it is not only rural America, but the health of the entire nation, that will be seriousily

threatened if W« fail to preserve and advance the real values of the past as we adopt and make use of the new potential for the future." COST OF MARKETING: - - The cost of marketing feeds has increased about 2 per cent within the last year. Over an 11-year period, the consumers total marketing bill has risen almost three fourths, accounting for some 67 per cent of our expenditures for food. The marketing bill the consumer must pay is a combination of costs necesary in assembling, transporting, processing, wholesaL ing and retaining of domestic farm grown food. Actually, the marketing bill is the difference between what the consumer pays for foods, and what the farmer eventually received.

SOCIAL SECURITY QUIZ 1. Q. I’m familiar with the recent changes in the social security law that lets me work part time and still receive some of my benefits. But my earnings every year vary between SI2OO and $4500. How can I estimate the amount I will receive from social security each year? A.— Your local social security office can give you free pamphlet — “You Don’t Have to Retire Completely to Get Social Security Benefits” (OASI-23c). If you know the amount of your social security benefit and can estimate your yearly earnings, this pamphlet will show you the amount that you could expect to receive durng the year. 2. „Q. — I keep hearing on the radio that even though a person working, he should visit his social security office if he is 65 or over. I< always thought you couldn’t get payments if you were working; please explain why it is necessary to visit social security office. A.— The reason you are asked to see your social security office is to keep you from losing benefits that may be payable to you even though you may be working. Last year’s changes in the law permit some payments to you even though you earn more than SI2OO a year. 3. Q. — I am 66 and still work fairly steady. Would there be any social security payments for me at this time? A. — That’s difficult to answer without knowing more details about your case. This is one of the reasons it is best for you to visit the social security office as soon as possible. Because our applications are only retroactive for one year, you may lose benefits if you put off your visit to the social security office. 4. Q. — How is it possible for people over 65 who are still working to receive some of their monthly social security payments? A. — Last year’s amendments to the social security law make it possible for many older people to work and still be paid some social security benefits. People may now earn well er SI2OO and collect some of thetr ’sbcial security benefits for the year. Be sure to see your social security office soon. A delay may mean loss of some benefits. 5. Q. — The other day I heard on the radio that people over 65 should visit the social Security office even though they were still working. They also mentioned that each month that is delayed may

I am to be a bridesmaid soon, and now the bride has selected a costume for me whose style and color are definitely unflattering and unbecoming to me. Since I’m supposed to pay for this costume, I don’t think it’s fair. What can I do? A. Since you have consented to serve, you must conform to the bride’s wishes. This is not an unusual situation, and sometimes the bridesmaid later is able to have the dress dyed and altered. But so far as the wedding is concerned, the bride’s wishes are law! Q. How should a person introduce his half-brother and half-sis-ter? A. If he wishes to be in best taste, he will introduce them simply as “My brother’’ and “My sister.” mean loss of some benefits. Why do they stress not waiting a month or more? A.— The reason we stress visiting the social security office as soon as possible is that our applications are retroactive for only 12 months before the worker apcan pay benefits for all of the past 12 months before the workers applied for benefits. As you can see, if the worker delays one or more months, he would lose a full check for each month delayed. «. Q. — I am 71 years old. Would there be any advantage for me to visit the social security office as Ibng as I’m still working? I’m sure I’m earning too much to get benefits. A.— It still may be possible to pay you some benefits before you are 72 because of some changes in the law. Also, our applications are retroactive for 12 months and there may be benefits payable to you for one or more months, if you delay, each month you wait may cost you a month’s benefit. Remember, you must apply for your benefits to receive. Also, keep in mind that when you are 72 or older, you can collect all your benefits no mater how much you earn. 7. Q. — My neighbor recently retired and when he received his first check, it was for several hundred dollars. He was working before he retired and I can’t understand how he could get such a large first check. Will I get a similar amount? I am 68 and still working. A. — Many people receive large first checks soon after they apply for social security benefits. This is mainly because of last year’s changes in the law, allowing people to earn more and still receive some benefits. Our applications are retroactive 12 months and his check may include benefits he . should have gotten in past months. 1 ; I suggest that you get in touch with • your social security office so they I may tell you if you can receive any benefits while you are still work ing.
