Christmas Illegal I ’ -• _ , I Today Christmas is our most widely observed holiday, religious of otherwise. Yet this was not always so. , In the 20th Century, all of us have embraced Christmas widely J?oth as a religious and as a social celebration. More than one-fourth the world’s population — 800 million people — profess some form of the Christian faith. But as recently as December 26, 1955, the New York Times reported: “The churches of the Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists were not open on Dec. 25 except where some Mission schools had a celebration. They do not accept the day as a Holy One, but the Episcopalian, Catholic and German churches were all open. Inside they were decked with evergreens.” We all remember the story of Washington crossing the Delaware river on December 25,1776, to surprise the German Hessians stationed at Trenton, N. J. It is often said that the bold venture succeeded because the Hessians were enjoying their customary Christmas revels and failed to maintain the usual watch and patrols! . The English Puritans, forerunners of the Congregationalists, opposed all festivals, and in 1647 abolished the observance of Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide. This was echoed in the American colonies in 1659 when Puritans enacted a law in the general court of Massachusetts to punish those who “kept Christmas.” The law was repealed in 1681, but the Puritans were still offended by the secular revelry.

ASCS Farm Notes

COUNTY OFFICE CLOSED DECEMBER 24 AND 25: ASCS county offices will be closed December 24 and 25 in accordance with an excutive order issued by President Kennedy. 1963 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: Secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Freeman, recently announced an increase in the 1963 corn price , support price to $1.25 per bushel. This action was designed to as- ; sure that the twin objectives of the feed grain program — to improve farm income and to make further progress in balancing feed grain supplies with national requirements — will be met. As announced earlier, farmers participating in the '.1963 feed grain program will receive price sup(port partly through loans and purchase agreements and partly through payment-in-kind. The increases announced today will be accomplished through ■ higher loan and purchase agreement rates with no change in the in-kind payments previously announced. The 1963 feed grain program differs from the 1961 and 1962 program primarily because of the addition of the 18-cent payment-in-kind as a part of the price support. This element has required further careful study by the department. This study, compled with reports from field offices since the announcement of the 1963 feed grain program and from the advisory committee on feed grains which met in Washington last week, indicated that action to raise the support levels was necessary to carry out of«this administration to increase farm income, cut back surpluses, and reduce program costs by pulling down government stocks. - 4 - Both the increased loan rates, and higher acreage diversion payments based on the support prices; will protect farm income and discourage excessive livestock expansion, particularly -hogs and poultry. Sales of commodity credit corporation-owned feed grains against certificates earned by farmers for participating in the program cannot be made at prices less than the 1963 loan-rates plus carrying charges. Special provisions are made for small farms in this announcement. The payment rate for acreage diverted to conserving uses will be increased to 50 per cent of the county support rate on the normal production of the diverted acreage, for farms on which the entire feed grain base acreage (1959-60 average acreage) is diverted up to the eligible maximum 25 acres. This change will give farmers who divert all of their base about the same payment as was earned under the 1961 and 1962 programs. These farmers will receive no price-support payment since they will have no corn acreage for harI‘ CHRISTMAS | SUGGESTIONS I WALL PLAQUES HAMPERS { FOOT STOOLS L PICTURES I g MIRRORS | | UHRICK BROS.

vest. For other farms, diversion payments will be increased somewhat as a result of the higher support rate. For the first 20 per cent of the acreage diverted from feed grains to conserving uses, the payment will be at 20 per cent of the county support rate (reflecting national average support rate of $1.25 per bushel for corn) on the normal production of the diverted acreage. On any acreage diversion above the minimum requirement, payment will be at 50 per cent of the county support rate. In addition, these farmers will receive a price-suport payment amounting to 18 cents per bushel for corn on the normal production of their permitted acreage planted for harvest. These are unchanged from the previously-announced payments. — Cooperating producers will be eligible for these payments without regard .to whether they feed their grain, market it,,or place it under price support. Payments will be figured on the farm normal yield regardless of the actual yield on the farm in 1933. As required in the new law, price support in 1963 is contingent upon performance of the acreage diversion agreed to. — - Except for the changes listed above, provisions follow those for the 1961 and 1962 program. Farmers participation in the program is voluntary. Sign-up date will be announced later. TELLING AGRICULTURE’S STORY ~ 8e0p1e.,.-a.sk, where do. yqu. work” — we say the “department of agriculture” and they say “we don’t know much about farming.” People should know more than that about the big job USDA does and more about agriculture' s contribution to society. Federal extension service has printed several leaflets giving the facts. Some of the leaflet subjects are: Food is a Good Buy — Shows that the real cost of food today is actualy less than ever before. It takes fewer hours of work to earn the money to buy it. Why Food is Plentiful — farming efficiency, through agricultural research, education, and the ingenuity of American farmers. Why Food is Good Food —

Bjsbs* t May the glow of holiday cheer brighten the homes of our many kind friend* whose patronage we value so highly. Our thanks to you all. —— /J West End Restaurant 702 WEST MONROE STREET

shows why we can buy food anywhere, confident that it is safe, clean and wholesome. Convenience Foods for Better Living: — how ready-to-serve foods can save homemaker’s time, and often money. Agricultural Helps America (Grow — Today only about 1 in 12 American workers is needed on the farm, freeing others to produce other goods and services for pur rising standard of living. Products for a purpose — Agricultural scientists are creating farm products to fit special purposes, to give consumers the many new items they want for modern living. Better Eating for Better Health — partly due to improved, mordf nutritious foods supplied by agriculture. Agriculture — A big — Customer — Our whole economy prospers when farm families spend $42 billion a year. Millions of city businesses andL city jobs depend on the farmer's steady buying power. Farming is Big Business Today — Farming means a big investment, big production, big risks — but we all get big benefits, such as low food prices, more employment. Summing it up — the American farmer is doing a good job — Without him the nation could not exist. Let all peoples — both rural and urban — try to understand and help each other. DID YOU KNOW THAT?? Wildlife is a farm crop? Soil and water conservation helps wildlife. ACP costs sharing is available to establish wildlife habitats, ponds etc. More than 8.5 million acres of trees have been planted; more than 4.4 million acres have had wildlife practices applied; more than 41 million acres of pasture and rangeland have been seeded; 8d more than a million ponds ve been built. Other practices that benefit wildlife are strip-crop-ping, stubble mulching, grassed waterways and crop rotations. New legislation authorizes loans and grants for moderate cost rental housing for elderly people in rural areas? These programs will be administered by the USDA’s Farmers Home Administration. In increasing efficiency, the American farmer has surpassed the industrial worker? Between 1950 and 1960, the output of the average farm worker increased 6.5 , per cent a year — three times as fast as the productivity of the | man in the factory. One farmer ■ today produces enough food and: fiber to meet the needs of 27 people , —an unbelievable contrast to the > developing areas of the world! where the farmer and his family often must work the land in order to supply only themselves. Two out of every five Americans today live in rural areas? Almdst 16 million live on farms. Thirtyeight million others, who are not farmers, live close to the land in strictly rural areas. In towns and cities of less than 25,000 population there are 22 million more, people who, because they draw their economic life-blood from the countryside, are also*a part of rural America. Over 65 tons of tree seed were used last year i nthe national forest reforestation program. A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY: Secretary of agriculture,. Orville T. Freeman says:—“We can provide, in rural America:—a land of prosperous farms and thriving towns, where people may choose to earn a living, not only by producing food and fiber, but also from among a number of attactive altwnations. that.result from building new enterprises and creating new opportunities; —opportunities for combining part-time employment with parttime agriculture to help to provide a good life for those many Americans who prefer to live in nonmetropolitan areas; —decent housing and adequate living for the millions of senior citizens who live in greater proportions in our rural areas than in our cities; —communities that can provide health, education, and other public services equal to the best that we know how to provide; —resources of outdoor recreation of all kinds and in sufficient supply to meet the needs of our growing

This kind of rural America will add to the economic strength of the nation, and will continue to make l invaluable spiritual and social conI tributions to our national life. We can have this kind of rural America if we work together to preserve the real values of our heritage as we use the new science and technology to meet changing human needs.’’ . FARM REPORTERS TRAINING: 1 Lawrence Beckmeyer, district 1 compliance supervisor, conducted : a training meeting for farm reporters in the county office last Tuesi day. • Raymond Eichenauer will serve [ the county as performance super- • visor. Steve Moser, Root town- | ship; Robert Plulmey, Union township; Harold V. Schwartz, Monroe township and Irvin Worthman, Preble township, will serve as farm reporters. Duties of farm reporters are to visit farms for the purpose of checking wheat acreage, where re. quired under the wheat allotment I and marketing quota program and wheat stabilization program. Also to check compliance under the feed . grain It is to the interest of any producer, to assist the farm reporter in measuring acreage and to give the reporter information required. This will not only help .the reporter do a good job, but -will provide correct information for county office records. Farm reporters are not permitted to compute any acreages in the field. Acreage computations will be completed in the county office and producers will be notified of the acreage determination. USDA DEFENSE BOARD MEETING: The county USDA defense board met in the ASCS county office, Fri- ■. day, December 14. A new defense : handbook is being prepared by the national office, and should ,be distributed at an early date. Defense is an important function and should not be treated lightly — perhaps, we do not have much use for it at the present time — but we should be prepared -for all emergencies. Preparedness is essential to living and is a basic element of defense planing. The USDA defense board recomi mends cooperation of all persons with their local defense board.
