Local Newsmakers Many Decatur and Adams county people will remember Cletus Gillman, former U.S. work unit conservationist here with the U.S. soil conservation service. Gillman left Decatur three or four years ago for Rensselaer, in Jasper county, one of the best SCS districts in the state. Apparently he has been very successful there, as it is reliably stated that he is going to be promoted to head the Muncie district, quite an advancement in SCS ranks. It is interesting to note that several former Arams county men will now be serving in this area. Just south of Adams county, in Jay county, is E. Brown, who took his training here and was assistant for some time. He was from Wells county, where his brother, Joy, is a member of the board of county commissioners. A preliminary survey of the Salamonia watershed will be made this year in Jay county to determine the feasibility of a watershed project there. In Randolph county, just south of Jay county, Fred Housel, formerly with the SCS office here, has been named chairman of the county’s technical action panel for the rural areas development program. Housers father is a well known northern Indiana certified seed grower. Here in Adams county, Milt Spence is work unit conservationist. At present, Adams county has no active stream projects, but several are under consideration, one in Wabash township, and one in Union township. The Union township drainage program is now coming to a head, and more will be heard about it in the near future. It involves working with four counties in two states —a remarkable achievement when you consider the problems involved!

ASCS Farm Notes
1963 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: The 1963 Feed Grain program sign-up is now under way in the county office. Notices advising feed grain producers of their feed grain base acreage, established yield per acre, minimum and additional rates of payment per acre and the required number of acres of conserving crops to be maintained, were mailed on February Ist. We suggest that producers read such notices an if they do not understand the contests, they should call at the county office for an explanation, Payment rates may seem low — but there is more, come in — The 1963 program, like the 1961 and 1962 programs, is voluntary and applies to corn, grain sorphum and barley. At least 20 per cent of the total feed grain base shall be diverted to conservng acreage in order for a farmer to participate in the program and be eligible for diversion payments. Os course, a farmer will not be eligible for payments unless and “Intention to Participate” is signed on or before March 22, 1963. On farms which the total base is 25 acres of less, the farmer will be eligible for payment at the higher rate, provided he places the entire base acreage in the program and plants no corn. For farms with total bases of more than 25 acres, the smallest number of acres that can be diverted is 20 per cent of the total base acreage and the maximum that can be diverted is 40 per cent of the base acreage of 25 acres, whichever is larger. For example, a farm with a base of 50 acres, 25 could be diverted even though the 40 per cent is only 20 acres. Farmers who participate in the program by diverting 20 per cent or more of their total base will be eligible for an additional payment of 18 cents per bushel corn times the established yield (as shown on the notice). times the number of acres of corn planted as long as the base is not exceeded. The participating farmer will receive this payment, regardless of the use made of the com. The additional payment rate for grain sorphum is 16 cents per bushel and 14 cents per bushel for barley. Acreage diverted from the production of feed grain crops (corn, grain sorghum or barley) is to be used for approved conservation uses, such as grasses, legumes, trees or shrubs planted in 1963 or the fall of 1962, wildlife food and habitat plantings or other approved uses which will protect the land throughout the 1963 cropping season. ... Diverted acreage shall not be summer-fallowed, nor a crop removed there from during 1963. Such acreage shall not be grazed between May 1, 1963 and November 1, 1963. Part of the estimated payment to be earned for diversion may be paid in advance when the producer signs up to participate in the program. The balance of the diverson and the entire price-support payment wil be made after the check of compliance next summer. Farmers are reminded that they do not have to take a loan or purchase agreement on their corn to receive the price-support payment. However, loans and purchase agreements will be available on the entire production of corn on the participating farm. This feature is different from prior programs where the loan and purchase agreements were based on the normal

j established yield for the farm. Feed grain producers cannot afi ford to stay out of the program — i The county office is open Mon- . day through Friday from 7:45 a.m. [ to 4:30 p.m. We do not close the office at noon. CHOICES IN *64 WHEAT PROGRAM OUTLINED Wheat growers will have a choice of two programs for 1984. The first program would limit the production of wheat to market and export needs. It would provide farmers with price at an average of $2 per bushel for the bulk of their 1964 wheat marketings. It would offer payments for wheat acreage diverted to conservation use. It would maintain farmers’ income from wheat at the average of recent years. This is the program farmers would choose by voting “yes” in the forthcoming referendum. Approval by a least twothirds of the farmers voting is required to make the program effective. The alternative program—which farmers would choose if they voted “no”—would provide no limits on production or marketings, and — only to growers who stayed within their allotments—price support, at 50 percent of parity, about $1.20 per bushel. It would result in increased wheat production, and a sharp decrease in income for wheat growers. Farmers would receive a market price of only about $1 per bushel, on the average, for their wheat. Details of the 1964 Wheat Program are beng developed by the United States Department of Agriculture in cooperation with representatives of wheat growers and the grain trade. Major preliminary provisions of the 1964 progrom announced to date include: (1) a National marketing quota of about 1.2 billion bushels; and (2) a National acreage allotment, calculated from | the marketing quota on the basis of current average yield expectations, of about 49.5 million acres, the same as in 1962 Farm allotments will be about 10 per cent below the 1963 allotment —about the same as in 1962. Watch this column for more information which will be forthcoming. 1963 AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM February 8 was the final date of the initial sign-up period under the 1963 Agricultural ConservationProgram (ACP). However, farmers may sign requests for cost- J sharing at any time prior to the date the practice is to be started, ! though no assurance of approval by the county committee can be given. Funds available for use under this program, are limited. Approvals will be granted in accordance with county committee policy insofar as possible. All requests received through February Bth will be carefully reviewed by the county committee, . next week and all will be notified of approval or disapproval as soon as possible. Definite approvals for ■ mechanical practices cannot be given until such practices need had been approved by the Soil Conservation Service technicians. Farmers who are contemplating group projects are urged to file requests as early as possible. The ’ majority of such projects require the approval of the State Commit tee. Therefore, requests should be filed a sufficient length of time before the project is to be started, in order that the group may be informed of the amount of costsharing in advance. Farmers, who have not previous-
Ijr received assistance, are again urged to file requests for assistance for needed conservation practices. Such requests will receive priority over requests from farmers who have received assistance in previous years. Farmers, who sign up to participate in the 1963 Feed Grain Program, may carry out approved conservation practices on cropland diverted from the production of feed grains. However, payments under the ACP program will not be made unless a request for costshare assistance is filed. WHAT THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE CAN DO.. WHEN NATURAL DISASTER STRIKES.. The Department has authority to: feed the hungry; assist farmers whose crops have been left without food.; make emergency loans and otherwise aid the farmer whose property has been damaged or destroyed; help to restore and conserve disaster-stricken land and water resources; dispense valuable information on disaster problems; battle forest fires and take other emergency actions in the national forests; help finance the restoration of rural power and telephone service; make payments for losses suffered on federally insured crops. Relief operations can be started when a disaster is declared by the President or the Secretary of Agriculture, or on tiie initiative of the Office of Emergency Planning. County Disaster committees established by USDA report on the extent of damage and the kind of assistance needed.

Farming employs 7 million workers — more than the combined employment in transportation, public utilities, the steel industry, and the automobile industry. assets total $207 billion, equal to: Nearly three fourths of the value of current assets of all corporations in the United States, or nearly two-thirds of the market value of all corporation stocks on the New York Stock Exchange. The value of agriculture’s production assets represents around $23,000 for each farm employee. The farmer spends $26 to $27 billion a year for goods and services to produce crops and livestock? He spend another sls billion a year for the same things that city people buy — food, clothing, drugs, furniture, appliances and other products and services. Each year the farmer’s purchases include: $2.5 to $3 billion in new farm tractors and other motor vehicles, machinery and equipment. (About $1 billion was spent in 1959 by primary iron and steel industry for equipment and new plants). $3.5 billion for fuel lubricants and maintenance of machinery and motor vehicles; Farm-
' ihg uses more petroleum than any I other single industry. $1.5 bfllion , for fertilizer and lime; Products ; containing 320 million pounds of rubber —about 9 per Cent of the total used in the United States, or i enough to put tires on nearly 6 i million automobiles; 28 billion kilowatt hours of electricity — or • more than 4 percent of the Nation’s total, or more than is needed annually by Baltimore, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Houston, and Wash- ' ington D. C.; 5 million tons of 1 steel in the form of farm machinery, trucks cars, fencing, and building materials. This is onethird as much steel as the automotive industry. AGRICULTURE AND DEFENSE Farmers should be prepared for 1 nuclear attacks — agriculture is more exposed to nuclear warfare than any other industry or business due to tiie fact that nuclear . attacks are the open sky type and it is understandable that agriculture would be effected, which in turn would effect the entire community in which the attack occurred. So, the farmer should be prepared to protect his family, his livestock, and have a supply of food for human consumption and livestock feed. An adequate supply of water is essential. In order for the Nation to survive a nuclear attack, preparations should be made by individuals. Survival is important — we can survive by being prepared. Don’t forget to sign-up to participate in the 1963 feed grain program. Come in, let us compute the payments for your farm or farms. Don’t wait until the last day.
