Physical Fitness In School While our children are building up their minds in our schools, their bodies must also be developed. Chores at home and walking to school used to be the main exercise for school children M 0 K produced many healthy generations. But today, the average child rides to school by bus or car, or walks less than six blocks. His principal exercise is opening the car door, or turning a TV knob. Yet it takes a sound body to carry an active mind. One without the other is useless. And so we have “gym” classes in school. Usually this means playing basketball, or tumbling, or perhaps in the spring playing softball. What about some training for life? How many will play basketball after getting out of high school? Most will play golf, or bowl, or swim, or fish. How much are these sports taught in school? How about classes in setting up tents, packing them to carry, preparing campfire sites, etc.— something that will be practical for the camping family. Loading boats on trailers, lifting of heavy outboard motors, and tying them to boats — all require more training and muscle than you might think. •a Physical fitness means the ability to perform above a certain minimal level in a variety of tests of skill, strength, and cardiovacular endurance. It must be developed, and then maintained. Since most young men and women will not be playing basketball after high school graduation, but will need a relaxing, useful form of recreation—exercise to keep them trim, what is being taught in today’s schoools that will prepare them for useful post-grad exercise? No doubt the new high school building in Decatur will include a swimming pool, but that is far in the future. How about golf, bowling and fishing lessons now? Young men and women, properly trained in a sport, will continue it after graduation.

A S C S Farm Notes
POLLS ANNOUNCED FOR WHEAT QUOTA VOTE: Eligible voters in the six north townships: — Preble, Root, Union, Kirkland, Washington and St. Mary’s will cast their ballots Tuesday, May 21 at the ASCS county office. Eligible voters in the six south townships: — French, Monroe, Blue Creek, Hartford, Wabash and Jefferson will cast their ballots at the Berne town hall. The polls wil be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., local time. ELIGIBLE VOTERS: Wheat growers eligible to vote in the referendum include (1) all producers who have an interest in a 1964 farm wheat acreage allotment of 15 acres or more, and (2) wheat producers on farms with allotments of less than 15 acres, provided a form MQ-24 was signed by the operator on or before May 13, 1963, and filed in the county ASCS office by May 13. If at least two-thirds of the growers voting in the referendum approve quotas for 1964-crop wheat, price support will be available to growers participating in the wheat program at national averages of $2 per bushel (on “certificated” wheat — 80 per cent of the normal established yield of the allotment acres, but not more than the normal yield of the planted acres) and $1.30 per bushel on other (hon-cer-tificated) wheat grown within the allotment; and program payments will be made for diverting wheat acreage to an approved conserving use. Marketing quota penalties will apply to the “excess” wheat of allotment growers who do not keep within their farm allotments. The marketing quota penalty will apply to farms with allotments of less than 15 acres whose operators did not choose them to become allotment farms May 13, if the wheat acreage exceeds the small-farm base. If quotas are not approved by the necessary two-thirds of the growers voting, there will be no quotas, no marketing penalties, no division payments, and no “certificates” for the 1964 wheat crop. Price support to growers who keep within their wheat allotments would drop to 50 per cent of parity. Proclamation of wheat marketing quotas is directed by legislation whenever it is determined that the supply of wheat likely would be excessive in the absence of wheat marketing quotas. The supply of wheat for the 1964-65 marketing year, without quotas, has been estimated to be 2,835 million bushels — more than double the estimated domestic disappearance and exports. Marketing quotas has been in effect continuously for the past ten wheat crops, as approved by growers voting in referendum held annually on the question. ABSENTEE BALLOTS: Absentee ballots may be secured from the cuonty office provided the eligible voter wil be out of the county on the day of the referendum — and a request for a ballot is filed in the county office. Absentee ballots must be returned to the county office by 6 p.m. May 21 (day of the referendum). USDA ANNOUNCES PROPOSED PLANS FOR USE OF WHEAT CERTIFICATES: The U. S. department of agriculture has announced the procedures for the use of wheat certificates on the 1964 crop if marketing quotas are in effect. The agricultural act of 1962 provides for the use of certificates in the price support operation in years when marketing quotas are in effect after approval by at least two-thirds of the producers who vote in a referendum. For the 1964 crop the referendum will be May 21. Procedures for handling marketing certificates as they relate to farmers will be as folows: The local farmer-elected county ASCS committee will record on the far-

mer’s marketnig card the number of bushels of certificate wheat he will have as his share of the national alocation. The cards will be issued to eligible producers prior to harvest. On the back of the card will be space for the individual transactions involved in disposing of the grower’s certificated wheat. Procedures for handling market ing certificates in normal trade channels were discussed with industry representatives in January and February All segments of the industry reported the procedures as practical and workable, in response to the department’s request for comments. Since the certificate program would not be put into operation until more than a year from now, details of all procedures are still being developed, and will be announced well in advance of the beginning of the 1964 crop harvest. Basic provisions for operation of the program are: 1. Producers will be notified of their wheat marketing certificate allotments when marketing quota cards for 1964 wheat are issued. 2. Normal trade practices, including premiums and discounts, will be folowed in wheat marketing. Producers, however, can expect to receive 70 cents per bushel more for certificated wheat. Certificates and non-certificated wheat can be sold in normal channels in the usual ways, or farmers can receive price support loans based on the national average of $2 per bushel on certificated wheat and $1.30 on non-certificated wheat. 3. When selling certificated wheat, producers will transfer their wheat marketing certificates to the first buyer. 4. First buyers of wheat, usually the country elevator operators, by notifying the local ASCS county office of the certificate transfer may receive negotiable certificates or be credited for the certificates he holds. The first buyer will be encouraged to sell his certificates in trade chanels. 5. The first buyer has two options in the sale of certificates. He may transfer the negotiable certificate to other parties, or he may deposit them with CCC and subsequently write wheat certificate checks to cover and future transactions. The CCC will sell marketing certificates to processors and exporters at any time during the year. The purchase price will in. elude, in addition to the face value, a charge for administrative cost? and the estimated interest incurred on CCC funds invested in purchased certificates. 6. Commodity credit corporation will stand ready to purchase certificates from any holder, except producers, at any time at the face value of the certificate. (Producers, under certain conditions, such as crop failure, will be able to redeem their certificates at the county ASCS office.) 7. Exporters and wheat processors will be required to obtain certificates prior to exporting wheat or marketing wheat products. They will be able to obtain certificates either in trade channels or from the commodity credit corporation. 8. Records of all producers transactions will be maintained at the county level. Records of other transfers, sales, purchases, and redemptions, will be maintained by the commodity credit corporation. The department will assure country elevators and other first buyers that they can rapidly liquidate their investment in certificates. First buyers may sell certificates in normal trade channels, and the commodity credit corporation will stand ready to redeem negotiable certificates at face value through regular banking channels. The matter of transition from the 1963 to the 1964-type program has been, given considerable study. The department will provide a method through which owners of wheat,
• including producers, on the effec- ; tive date of the program can ob- ■ tain transition certificates from ■ commodity credit corporation to i cover carryover stocks. The terms I under which transition certificates can be obtained will be announced : at a later date. ‘SUBSTITUTE WHEAT PROVISION CLARIFIED: The wheat program provision ■ which — if the May 21 referendum ' vote is favorable and if there is a i feed grain diversion program in effect for 1964 — would permit the growing of wheat in place of feed grains on the “permitted”, acreage of farms participating in both programs. In an attempt to correct a misunderstanding of the provision, ! which has resulted in some cases ■ from incomplete information, the provision would be apart of both the wheat and feed grain programs, provided of course, that growers approve wheat quotas in the May 21 referendum and that new le- ' gislation provides a feed grain program for 1964 crops (feed grain legislation now is being considered by congress and has passed the house of representatives.) This would mean that, on farms j ■ participating in both programs — i where both wheat and feed grain | acreages had been shifted from production into an approved conserving use, wheat could be sub- i stituted for feed grain or feed grains could be. substituted for wheat on acreage which still could be planted in cooperation with the diversion programs. So any wheat substituted for feed grains, or vice versa, would be "in place of” and not “in addition to” acreage per-1 > mitted to be planted to one or the other crop. The substitution would not increase overall grain acreage. The purpose of the program provision is to make the program more flexible and enable producers to grow their traditional crops while reducing overall grain production and maintaining farm income. Price support for such “substi-1 tute” wheat would be at the support level for “noncertificated” wheat ($1.30 per bushel, national average). This is die support available for other noncertificated wheat grown within the farm acreage allotment under a quota program. ELIGIBLE VOTERS URGED TO VOTE IN THE WHEAT REFERENDUM MAY 21: Keep in mind, that eligible voters will decide whether we have wheat marketing quotas- or do not have j wheat marketing quotas in 1964 —■ on May 21. . ALSO — the decision will be only for the 1964 crop of wheat. There will be another referendum in 1964 for 1965 wheat. WHAT DOES THE 1964 WHEAT PROGRAM OFFER A WHEAT GROWER? This program provides ‘ increased freedom for farmers to make their plans on a basis of sound management decisions through these features: 1. The two-price system will 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 will maintain growers’ income while wheat supplies are adjusted to a common sense level. 3. With a feed grain diversion program, the substitution feature will 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. 4. The wheat marketing certificates with a face value of 70 cents a bushel will insure some return from wheat acreage even if the crop fails. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE MARKETING QUOTA PROGRAM IS TURNED DOWN? 1. Wheat not needed for food

would move into feed grain market at cut-rate prices. 2. Cheap feed would boost livestock production. 3. 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 i balance upset. 4. Loss of a balanced condition ! the federal programs have given to a major part of agriculture would result in long-term hardI ships for most farmers. 5. Possible market price of $1 I per bushel. 6. Additional surplus wheat. 7. Price support at about $1.25 per bushel, only for producers who plant within their 1964 wheat acre- | age allotments. STUDY THE ISSUES—DECIDE HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE — THEN VOTE MAY 21: All eligible wheat producers are urged to vote. COUNTY OFFICE OPEN SATURDAY—MAY 18 The county office will be open Saturday, May 18 for the convenience of wheat producers who have questions relative to the coming referendum. SECRETARY FREEMAN SAYS: “We are faced with the clear need for moving resources back , into rural America—of recapitalizing the rural economy, if you like. Unless we do, we can expect the I ■ young people—those who make i the future—to continue the frus- , trating cycle of the 1950’s when ' they accounted for 70 per cent of the migration to the city. How then de we propose to assist those who must lead the quiet revolution in j rural America?” There are five major avenues we propose to follow: One is rural renewal projects which represent the most promising weapon in areas where poverty is greatest. Certain areas of the country are faced with a lack of resources, of inadequate facilities and with an aging and largely unskilled population. Resource conservation and development projects are a second major avenue of the rural areas development program. One of the greatest unmet needs in the nation is new outdoor recreational areas, and this provides a third avenue for RAD. Cropland conservation programs, a fourth avenue to re-capitaliza-tion, are designed to develop new and economic uses for land now producing crops we cannot effectively use. The fifth major tool is the small watershed program. This program is a miniature rural area development program in itself. Throughout the country, these projects have stopped floods, improved farm and ranch land, and impounded water for recreation, for wildlife, for irrigation and for municipal and industrial use.” PREPAREDNESS — CIVIL DEFENSE: Remember—you can survive—- : be prepared. Have an adequate food and water supply for yourself, your family and your livestock.
