Election Today While Decatur’s city primary is a week away, the Republic of Italy is electing its fourth legislature since the end of World War II and the birth of the Republic of Italy. Italy has a two-house (bicameral) legislature, composed of a Senate and a Chamber of Deputies, roughly comparable to our U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. But Italy has a parliamentary system, which means that its executive officers are actually chosen from parliament; it also has a multi-party system, rather than a two-party system. In our two-party system, numerous factions and ideologies compete behind the scenes for power within the two parties, and the two parties are not able to hold their members for very many party line votes. In the multi-party system, each party represents a point of view, and coalitions are formed within parliament to vote on certain questions, new coalitions being formed as the questions before parliament change. On Sunday voting started in Italy, with registered voters going to the polls from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. There are no absentee voters, so voters have to return from overseas or to their home district to vote; the nationalized railroads carry voters from the borders free of charge. Today voting continued from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. Italian time is six hours ahead of ours, so first scattered returns will start this afternoon with complete returns expected Tuesday morning. Complete official returns are expected about Saturday. While there are more than two dozen parties in Italy, only nine have five or more representatives in the Lower house, or Chamber, and only eight in the Senate. These range from the rightiest Popular Monarchist Party and National Monarchist Party, which have dissolved and joined other right-wing parties, and formed the PDIUM, Italian Social Movement, and Italian Liberal Party, to the left-wing opposition, the Italian Communist Party, the largest opposition party, with 23.66% of the seats in the Chamber, almost one-fourth. The coalition government has included the Christian Democratic Party, with 46.3% of the vote, the Italian Socialist Democratic Party, with 3.19% and the Italian Republican Party (?RI) with 1%. The Socialist Party members supported the present Fanfani government either directly or by abstention from votes of censure. Here’s a handy chart to help you follow the election results (you should, since Italy is moving into a secure spot a ans ally within the Six-Nation EEC movement).

ASCS Farm Notes

ASCS MEETING — MAY 6 — 8 p.m. — BERNE FRENCH SCHOOL 1964 WHEAT PROGRAM TO BE EXPLAINED Lenard C. Pound, chairman of the Indiana ASC state committee will explain the 1964 wheat program at the Berne-French school May 6 at 8 p.m. All wheat growers and interested persons, rural and urban, are urged to attend this meeting. 1964 WHEAT VOTING ELIGIBILITY: All wheat producers who have an acreage allotment of 15 acres on a farm are automatically eligible to vote in the referendum to be held on May 21. (Voting places to be announced later). Voting eligibility was established by public law. According to the law — any wheat producer who has a farm acreage allotment of less than 15 acres is eligible to vote — provided — the operator of the farm registers in the county ASCS office by May 13, 1963. Two copies of the allotment notice were mailed to each operator — he shall use one copy for registering. A space is provided on the reverse side of the form. This form may be signed and brought to the office in person, or may be i mailed — but must be postmarked by midnight May 13. A wheat grower is allowed only one vote — regardless of how many farms he is interested in. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FARMERS ASK ABOUT THE WHEAT PROGRAM: WHY DO WE HAVE A WHEAT PROGRAM? Wheat growers — acting alone — have been unable to prevent overproduction and low prices for wheat. This is due in part to increased efficiency of production. Acting together, through a federal program, wheat growers can avoid disastrously low prices, and can meet all domestic and export needs for wheat. The nation’s interest in wheat is based on need for this crop as a basic food, as a major export, and because the producers and the crop are vital to a sound economy. HOW COULD WE EXPECT TO FARE WITHOUT A WHEAT PROGRAM? Wheat production would be larger than markets could take. There would be little change in demand for wheat as food. Excess supplies would lead to very low prices for the grain. Men’s efforts, money and equipment, and our irreplaceable soil resources would be wasted on unneeded production. WHY DO WE HAVE A NEW PROGRAM FOR 1964? The old program failed to avoid too much production and a buildup of surplus wheat in expensive storage.- The minimum national acregae allotment of 55 million acres was too large, and quota exemptions for small acreage offset part of the effect of quotas on other farms. The new program can give growers an opportunity to sell their wheat at fair prices. It can reduce taxpayers costs to a reasonable level. Growers will have income protection while wheat production is brought into line with demand. HOW DOES THE NEW PROGRAM DIFFER FROM THE OLD? The new program is much like that we had for the 1962 crop. Wheat acreage will be about the same. Many growers will note little difference between this and the wheat program of years past. Their income from wheat land will be maintained at the 1961-62 level. The major difference is the new two price system of price support. A loan of $2 per bushel (national average) will be available to eligible growers on 80 per cent of the normal production of their average allotments. AU other wheat produced on their their acreage aUotments will have a price support loan at $1.30 per bushel (national average). Diversion payments wiU enable growers to earn income from conservation use of acreage diverted from

wheat, and avoid overproduction of wheat and other crops. The diversion program wiU make it possible to continue to reduce the excess stocks of CCC-owned wheat, which have cost taxpayers heavily in recent years. WHEAT DOES THE PROGRAM OFFER A WHEAT GROWER? This program provides increased freedom for farmers to make their plans on the basis of sound management decisions through these features: 1. The two-price system wiU make wheat available at the current market levels for use as food and for exports, and at a lower level as livestock feed. 2. Payments for conservation use of acreage diverted from wheat wiU maintain growers’ income while wheat supplies are adjusted to a common sense level. 3. With a feed grain diversion program, the substitution feature wiU provide farmers an opportunity to grow the grain best suited to their operation (on their combined wheat and feed grain acres), without increasing the total supply of grain; and 4. The wheat marketing certificates with a face value of 70 cents a bushel wiU insure some return from wheat acreage even if the crop fails. HOW DOES THE PROGRAM FOR FUTURE CHANGES IN CONDITIONS OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR THE SEVERAL CLASSES OF WHEAT? Both the open market and the price-support program offer premiums on wheat in high demand. Both discount wheat of low quality and limited demand. In the event any class of wheat is found to be in short supply, acreage allotments for that class may be insoci WHAT CHANGES MIGHT BE MADE IN PROGRAM PROVISIONS AFTER THE REFERENDUM FOR THE 1964 CROP? The law prohibits any reductions in allotments, in loan rates or certificate allocations for a crop after their announcement prior to the marketing quota referendum. IF MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE ELIGIBLE GROWERS VOTING SHOULD TURN DOWN THE MARKETING QUOTA PROGRAM, HOW WOULD TOO MUCH WHEAT — PRICES TOO CHEAP — AFFECT OTHER FARM CROPS AND LIVESTOCK? Wheat not needed for food would move into the feed grain market at cut-rate prices. Cheap feed would boost livestock production. Total wheat production would expand despite the probable shift of some wheat acreage in the ‘more humid areas to soybeans and other crops, which would have their presently favorable supply and demand balance upset. Loss of the balanced condition the federal programs have given to a major part of agriculture would result in long-term hardships for most farmers. UNDER THE NEW LAW, WILL ANOTHER REFERENDUM BE HELD NEXT YEAR? Yes. Regardless of the outcome of the referendum on May 21, 1963, excess supplies will require setting a marketing quota and holding another referendum in the spring of 1964. The referendum next' year would aply to the 1965 crop. SUMMARY: The wheat marketing quota referendum on May 21 this year will determine wheat program features will apply to the 1964 crop. If quotas are approved by at least two-thirds of those voting, support prices will be 42 bushel (national average) for certificated wheat and $1.30 (national average) for non certificated wheat for those growers who participate in the progam. In addition, producers may earn payments for diverting wheat land to soil conserving uses. Wheat growers’ income will be maintained at the 1961-62 level. If quotas are not approved, there will be no quotas, no payments, no certificates, and price support will be available at 50 per cent of parity .about $1.25 national average) only to producers

who plant within their 1964 allotments. The 49.5 million-acre national allotment will continue in effect for the 1964 crop. It is estimated that without quotas, market prices for wheat could average about $1 per bushel. IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER: May 6 — wheat meeting. May 13 —final date for registering. May 21 — Wheat referendum. WHEAT-VOTE ELIGIBILITY CLARIFIED FOR FARMS IN CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM: The wheat allotment farmer who has his whole farm in the soil bank's conservation reserve program will be eligible to vote in the referendum if he would have had an interest in the wheat that would have been produced except for the farm’s participation in the conservation reserve program, and the farm operator indicates his intention to participate in the wheat program May 13 by signing his allotment notice and returning to the county office, not later than May 13. The law authorizing the conservation reserve program in effect guaranteed that the farm would not lose any crop allotment history because of participation in the reserve program. PROVISION MADE FOR STORING 1964 EXCESS WHEAT: Wheat marketing quotas are in effect, and wheat is produced on acres in excess of the farm allotment the producer may store the excess rather than pay" "a marketing quota penalty or deliver the wheat to the secretary. This storage provision is similar to that in effect under previous programs. However, a new and more liberal feature has been included in the 1964 program. For the first time producers in the high risk areas who customarily overplant their allotments an<j store their excess against a crop loss or cutbuck in acreage in future years can make themselves eligible for price support on the wheat grown on their alloted acreage. A grower who meets the following conditions will be eligible for price support and certificates: (1) All the production from the excess wheat acreage is stored or delivered to the secretary, and (2) the normal conserving acreage base is devoted to approved conserving crops and uses. If acreage orverplanted is less than the minimum diversion, the remaining minimum diversion acreage is to be devoted to conservation or other approved uses. ATTENTION! WOOL PRODUCERS: Farmers who sold wool and unshorn lambs during the period April 1,1962 through March 31, 1963 are reminded that April 30, 1963 is the final date for filing an application for incentive payments — 2 more days. WORLD FOOD CONGRESS; The first international conference to concern itself with food and agriculture met at Hot Springs Va., May 18, 1943. The conference was concluded on June 3. Delegates from 44 countries attended. This year on June 4 — 20 years fater this historical event — the world food congress will convene in Washington, D. C., to consider many of the same problems which confronted the delegates at Hot Springs. * The first conference laid the foundation for the food and agriculture organization. The world food congress is a part of FAO’s freedom from hunger compa ign. FAO became a part of the United Nations in 1945 and now the organization’s 106 member nations and associates share their food and agricultural knowledge. They

Photographer Takes 20-Mile Hike Sunday Apparently seeing leads to doing, as local photographer Dave MacLean “put his best foot forward,” and took a hike Sunday afternoon. Mac Lean, who shoots pictures for the Daily Democrat, has recently been photoing a number of 50 - mile hikers. Apparently he began wondering whether or not he could do such a feat. Mac Lean, who runs the MacLean Photo Service in the MedDent building, set out on a hike himself Sunday afternoon, although the trip wasn’t 50 miles—closer to 20 miles to be exact. He and Jim Hake, a Decatur Catholic student, rode to Bluffton’s state park with Tom and Daisy Hurst and son Grant Sunday afternoon, and then hiked home. Hake had walked to Fort Wayne the previous weekend, and had performed the same feat Sunday?' before taking the shorter hike from the park to Decatur. Now when the Decatur photographer takes pictures of hikers he will really know and understand believe that only through working together can the world-wide problem of food shortages be solved. R. Lyle Webster, on leave from the office of information, is executive secretary of the world food congress. COST OF PONDS FOR FIRE FIGHTING ALLOWED AS INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS: The cost of building a farm pond canbe tax deductible. Under present income tax laws, a farmer’s share of the construction costs of a dirt pond can be counted as a deductible expense. However, the amount deducted in any one year cannot exceed one fourth of gross farm income during the year. Expenses in excess of 25 per cent limit can be carried forward and deducted in succeeding years. However, the farm pond must be used for fire fighting purposes, to be eligible for tax deductions. In addition to tax benefits, the farmer canget cost-share benefits under the agricultural conservation program provided — the pond location on die farm will encourage better management of grassland. To be eligible to receive cost share on the cost of construction of the pond, a request must be signed in the county office before construction is started. The farmer must be able to give the cost of construction at the time the request is filed. WHEAT PRICE SUPPORT ANNOUNCED FOR THE 1963 WHEAT CROP: The price support rate for the 1963 wheat program in Adams county has been set at $1.84 per bushel for grade No. 1 wheat. Eligible wheat must be stored in an approved warehouse or on the farm to be eligible for price support, which may be either a loan or purchase agreement. ADAMS COUNTY FARMERS EARN $70,295 UNDER 1962 AC PROGRAM: 231 Adams county farmers received cost-share paments of $70,295 for practices completed during the period January 1,1962 through December 31, 1962. This was about one-half the total cost of completing practices. Practices consisted of open drainage, tile drainage, applications of limestone, sod waterways, construction of farms and wildlife ponds. DON’T FORGET — COME TO THE MEETING MAY 6
