Comfortable Driving Chiropractors recommend shoulder straps and headrests, as well as seat belts for greater safety in driving. In sesearch conducted by the Industrial Development and Research Committee of the Florida Chiropractic Association, the postural attitude of the human spine in automobile seats was studied. One type seat was equipped with a tilting backrest and headrest that permitted the passenger to recline, thereby eliminating riding fatigue. There was also an adjustable lift to the front seat cushion which, when used with the reclining backrest, gave a similar effect as when sitting in a lounge chair. The headrest is seen as a precaution in the prevention of whiplash syndrome and other type neck injuries, so prevalent today in auto accidents. The American Motors Corporation received an award by the Florida Chiropractic Association after research in connection with this study proved AMC’s- development of postural seat design. May 1 through 7 is CORRECT POSTURE WEEK. Drivers are urged not to slouch behind the wheel in an attempt to fight fatigue. Such a position actually produces fatigue more quickly and is a highly dangerous practice. Sit TALL and let the spine rest on the back of the seat. Correct posture will tend to make for a more alert and better driver.

A S C S Farm Notes

REMEMBER: — ASOS MEETING — MAY 6 — 8:P. M.—BERNEFRENCH SCHOOL Wheat growers are urged to attend the meeting — hear Lenard C. Pound, chairman of the Indiana state committee — he will explain the facts about the 1964 wheat program. Clear facts are important — the department of agriculture wants wheat farmers to make their decision about the 1964 wheat program on clear facts. Bring your questions — come to the meeting. ANOTHER IMPORTANT DATE — MAY 9: Watch the T. V. show — WPTAJ channel 21 — May 9 — 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. CLARIFICATION OF VOTING ELIGIBILITY — 1964 WHEAT REFERENDUM: To be eligible to vote in the wheat referendum May 21, the farm operator must sign the statement ‘Election to comply with farm wheat acreage allotment” on the reverse side of the notice MQ--24, (mailed on April 19, 1963) either in person at the county ASCS office, or the form may be signed and mailed Several forms MQ-24 have been signed by the owner of the farm and returned to the office by mail. The signature of the owner does not establish eligibility to comply with theprogram or to vote in the wheat referendum. Wheat growers are urged to keep in mind that the operator of the farm is the only person who can sign the form to establish this eligibility. The signature of the operator entitles all persons interested an the wheat crop on a farm to comply with the program and vote in the referendum. Farm owners are urged to check with their operators to be sure their eligibility is established. COUNTY OFFICE TO BE OPEN ON SATURDAY — MAY 4, U AND 18: ASCS county offices will be open during regular office hours on Saturdays May 4, 11 and 18 for the convenience of farmers who have questions relative to the wheat referendum and desire to bring their forms to die office. HIGH SUPPORT AVAILABLE FOR MOST 64 WHEAT UNDER QUOTAS: Approval of marketing quotas for the 1964 wheat crop in the wheat referendum to be held May 21, will mean price support at two levels. The national acerage support prices for wheat will be $2 per bushel for “certificated” wheat and $1.30 per bushel for “non-certifi-catea” wheat. Certificated wheat eligible for the higher price level will be 80 per cent of the farm’s normal established yield times the farm allotment, but it may not be more than the farm’s normal established yield times the planted acreage. Before harvest time, each participating producer will receive from the ASCS county office a marketing card showing the number of bushels of certificated wheat for his farm. Buyers will record their purchases of such wheat on this card. Producers will be able to market certificated wheat at a price reflecting the higher level of support. If a producer does not have enough market wheat to match the marketing certificates for his farm because of crop failure or use of the wheat on the farm, the certificates may be redeemed at 70 cents per bushel at the ASCS county office. This represents the difference between the higher price support of $2 and the lower support of $1.30. Unused certificates cannot be transferred to another producer. As in the past, wheat price suppoi t will be made available through local loans on farm and warehousestored wheat and through purchase agreements. Certificated wheat will be eligible for price-support loans at a national average of $2. Wheat in addition to the certificated wheat which is produced on a “participating” farm will be eligible for a loan at the county support level, reflecting the national average price of $1.30 per bushel. Any such “non-certificated” wheat from a participating farm may be sold on the market, fed to livestock, or used for seed. Market prices for this wheat are expected to reflect the lower level of support. WHEAT ISSUES ARE THE SAME FOR SMALL, LARGE GROWERS: The small farm operator (farms with allotments of less than 15 acres) who elects to participate in the 1964 wheat program by signing form MQ-24, by May 13, as an allotment grower has the same alternatives open to him as the larger wheat grower in deciding whether he wants to vote “yes” or “no” in the upcoming referendum. A “no” vote -by more than onethird of the growers voting would mean no quotas, no marketing quota penalties, and price support at 50 per cent of parity to growers who do not exceed their acreage allotments. As a matter of fact, however, wheat growers have never turned down wheat marketing quotas. “yes” vote ' for 1964, by at least two-thirds of the growers voting — would mean a broader program than has ever been available in the past, includ mg not only" a diversion program and price*

supports to participating producers, but also marketing certificates. (In addition, a small grower with an allotment of 13.5 acres or less will have the option of diverting al his allotment conserving uses at 50 per cent of the county support rate on the normal established yield of the farm's base acreage.) Marketing penalties will apply to any wheat produced in excess of acreage allotments. It is hoped that all wheat growers, both large and small, will make it their business to become well informed about the actual issue so that the May 21 wheat vote may be intelligent and truly representative of wheat-grower opinions.” COME TO THE MEETING — MAY 6 — BERNE-FRENCH SCHOOL: For the past ten wheat crops, quotas have been approved by from 68.4 to 87.4 per cent of the farmers' voting in annual referendums of marketing quotas. Watch the T. V. show — WPTA— Channel 21 — May 9 — 10 to 11 p.m. GRAZING DEADLINE — WHEAT AND FEED GRAINS: Farmers are reminded that diverted acreage under the 1963 wheat stabilization and feed grain programs shall not be grazed during the period May 1, 1963 to November 1, 1963. Under the wheat stablization and feed grain programs, farmers signed to bring production into line with needs through diverting to a conserving use acreage formerly planted to either wheat or corn, grain sorghum or barley. Program payments are made to offset the loss of income which otherwise might have been returned from such crop production. 1962 SOYBEAN PRICE-SUPPORT TAKEOVER EXTENDED: The price-support loan takeover date for 1962-crop soybeans is being extended through July 31, 1963. The takeover originally was set to begin after May 31. The action was taken to give producer an additional two months in which to redeem their loans and market their soybeans in commercial channels. Producers who have outstanding farm or warehouse-storage loans on 1962-crop soybeans will soon be informed of the terms of the extension. As of- March 31, approximately 53 million bushels of 1962-crop soybeans remained' under price support throughout the country. COMMODITY HIGHLIGHTS: - Cotton disappearance during current season — expected smallest since 1958-59 because of decline in mill consumption. Exports probably will total about the same as last season’s level. Fed cattle prices on weekly basis, year’s high in late November — since have edged off somewhat, in response to increased slaughter supplies. But these prices still highest in several years. Milk production for all of 1962, one per cent above 125.5 billion pounds in 1961. During the first quarter this year, likely abve a year earlier. Prices farmers receive for wholesale milk this quarter expected about 15 cents lower per 100 pounds than a year ago. CCC purchase in 1962 probably amounted to 10.8 billion pounds of milk equivalent compared with 7.9 billion in 1961. Egg prices to farmers in midNovember, averaged 36.6 cents a dozen compared with 36 cents in November 1961. Prices during next few months are likely to continue averaging close to a year earlier. Number of Broiler Chicks — cutback in December — but still running above the 1961 level. Prices Turkey growers received in 1962: estimated average 21 to 22 cents a. pound compared with 18.9 in 1961. U. S. cigarette out put in 1962— estimated 537 billion, 9 billion more than in 1961. Consumption by U. S. smokers put at 510 billion last

year. Supplies of canned vegetables available into mid-1963 — probably substantially larger than a year earlier. Supplies of frozen vegetbles is expected to be near those of last season. Supplies of fresh pears and grapes — somewhat larger this winter than last. Those of apples may not be greatly different from a year earlier, but of lemons smaller. Supplies of fresh oranges and grapefruit is uncertain until effects of the December freeze in Florida are evaluated. But supplies of California oranges are expected larger than last winter. AS HE SEES IT — CHARLES 8. MURPHY, UNDER SECRETARY: Abraham Lincoln s a i d in 1964 that the department of agriculture was “the people's department in which they feel more directly concerned than in any other.” Charles S. Murphy, under secretary USDA says “Abraham Lincoln would be very proud of our department as it is today.” “The range of activities is almost unbelievable — Stabilizing supplies of food in plentiful quantities and prices of food at reasonable levels. Americans today eat better for a smaller share of their income than any people in history. —Providing food for distribution to 7 million needy persons in this country. — Distributing food for school lunches for 15 million children in the United States and 35 million children more in other lands. — Conserving the soil and water on every watershed in America — Inspecting 32 billion pounds of meat and poultry a year to protect consumers. — Operating plant and animal quarantine and inspection services to prevent entrance of new diseases or pests into the United States. — Exporting annually food for peace worth $1.5 billion — probably the biggest ocean shipper in the world. — Managing a $7 billion commodity inventory —a bigger customer for the grain and cotton storage industries than all their other customers combined. — Financing the REA coops that have electrified the farms of America. — Making production loans and farm-owner-ship loans and housing loans for rural America. — Improving farm income and providing the machinery for farmers to equalize their bargaining position in the market place. — Supervising 10 million transactions on the commodity exchanges to maintain fair and competitive pricing. — Insuring 400,000 crops —a job to tough for private insurance — Managing 168 million acres of national forests — timber sales, forestation, conservation, recreation, roads and trails, firefighting —1 acre for each citizen of the United States. — and many, many more. Close to the p eopl e. That is where we belong; that is where we are; that is where we must stay.” OBJECTIVES OF A FARM PROGRAM: The objectives of a farm program should be: 1. To enable farmers to achieve incomes comparable with those received by other Americans for similar investments in labor, capital and management skills. 2. To achieve a healthy and increasingly efficient and productive agriculture that will provide abundant food and fiber for each of us at fair prices. 2. To advance our economic growth and national prosperity, through better farm incomes and a sound farm economy. 4. To reduce costs of the federal government. 5. to get maximum use of our abundance to meet needs and promote freedom at home and abroad. COME TO THE MEETING _ MAY 6: Watch the T.
