Popular Recreation Did you ever wonder what the most popular form of recreation is today? Recently the Gallup poll surveyed the country to find out what draws people outside their homes. You might think that basketball or football is the most powerful drawing card, but both are far down the list. In fact, more people went bowling last year than went to a basketball game! (These are adults — the poll did not include those who are most “taken” by the Hoosier madness of screaming at basketball games.) But bowling was not the most popular last year, although nearly one out of every four adults bowled. No, it was the common old motion picture, still king in spite of all its troubles with TV, etc. One out of every two people attended a motion picture last year, more than any other recreation activity. In fact, while 50% attended a movie, only 46% read a book all the way through, not a very comforting picture of intellectual life in America. Only 17% saw a stage production or visited an art museum, the same number that saw a basketball game. Only 13% attended a concert or symphony. Americans today get outside their homes less frequently, even with all of their organized activities, than formerly. The weekly movie used to be a family affair, with everyone attending. Today, each family member has his or her favorite TV program, watched even on separate sets at the same time, or a “meeting” that divides up the family in the evenings or on weekends, when the family could go out together.

A S C S Farm Notes

1964 WHEAT PROGRAM: More than two-thirds of the nation’s wheat growers voting in the 1964 wheat marketing quota referendum opposed the 1964 wheat program. As a result, wheat growers will not be restricted on the number of acres of wheat seeded this fall, for harvest in 1964 However, there will still be allotments, and those growers who desire price support oh their wheat will be required to stay within the farm allotment, the same as in the past years. Price support will be about $1.25 per bushel. 1437 Adams county farmers voted against the program and 166 voted for the program. This was the first year that the small farmer could vote in a referendum. 1963 WHEAT PROGRAM: The referendum will not affect the 1963 wheat marketing quota program. Wheat marketing cards will be mailed to eligible wheat producers about June 30. To be eligible for a 1963 wheat marketing card, a producer must not have exceeded the 1963 farm allotment or 15 acres, whichever was greater. DISPOSITION DATE—JUNE 10: Farmers who have received notices of excess wheat are reminded that June 10 is the final date to dispose of the excess wheat to avoid a wheat marketing quota penalty. 1963 WHEAT PRICE SUPPORT: The Adams county 1963 wheat price support rate has been set at $1.84 per bushel. Price support will be available to eligible wheat producers —by loan, purchase agreement, farm or warehouse stored. If farm stored, the wheat must be stored at least 30 days after harvest before an application may be filed for a loan. A purchase agreement is available at any time after harvest Applications to be filed at the ASCS county office. MAY 31—FINAL DATE FOR FILING APPLICATIONS FOR PRICE SUPPORT ON 1962 CORN: Corn producers, who participated in the 1962 feed grain program, have until May 31 to apply for price support on corn produced on the farm which was in the program. The corn from a non-par-ticipating farm and a participating farm cannot be comingled and be eligible for price support. Price support of $1.21 per bushel is available either by loan or purchase agreement, and may be farm stored or warehouse stored. July 31, 1963 is the maturity date of the loan or purchase agreement. During July the producer must decide whether he desires to deliver his corn, repay the loan or reseal the corn at an annual storage rate of 14 cents per bushel. LIMITED AMOUNT OF FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR APPROVALS UNDER THE 1963 ACP PROGRAM: The county committee has a limited amount of funds available for approvals for needed conservation practices. Many farmers in Adams county have never received any cost share assistance under the agricultural conservation program. First consideration will be given those farmers, who have not received prior cost share assistance in prior years. So, framers with conservation problems are urged to call at the local office and file a request as soon as possible. Approvals are given to those farmers, who in the opinion of the county committee, the practices are most needed on individual farms and will also benefit the areas surrounding such farms. Soil tests required for approvals of the application of limestone. Cartons for submitting samples to Purdue University are available at the county ASCS office and the county agent’s office. 1963 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: - Reporters will soon be visiting farms participating in the 1963 feed grain program. Farmers are urged to have their diverted acreage staked or identified in such a manner that acreage can be measured accurately by the re-

Total value of all 1 sales was abut $2.5 billion in I 1961-62. More than half of what is sold ■ each year passes from one farmer • to another. Only about a third of ' the dollar value of voluntary sales ■ in 1961 were transactions to nonfarmers. The net investment in farm real : estate by nonfarmers during 1961 i amounted to only $233 million. If as much as one-half of the : value of real estate sales actually represented sales by nonfarmers, ; the net investment by nonfarmers , was probably less than SIOO million. Since the late 1930’s and early 1940’5, nonfarm capital has been moving out of farmland. The movement was largely the result of lending agencies liquidating holdings acquired during the black days of the depression. The tide of investment turned a little about the middle of World War II when farmland looked more attractive as an inflation —hedging investment. The same thing happened during the Korean outbreak. The net flow of nonfarm capital ■ into farm real estate has been a relatively minor proportion of the total in recent years. And at least a fifth of the purchases of rural lands by nonfarmers represent part-time farms, retirement places, rural homes and vacation retreats. As such, they ■ are largely investments in durable consumer goods, rather than in the productive assets of agriculture. The purchase of farmland strictly for investment is significant only in a few parts of the country. THE INTELLECTUAL QUOTIENT: ..H One hundred years age, congress established two institutions I that have benefited every American citizen. Both the U.S. departi ment of agriculture and the landgrant college system observed ) their 100th birthday last year. The land-grant schools filled a considerable gap in American education. In 1862 there were only a few colleges and enrollment was s limited and expensive. Land-grant colleges, now 68 in all, make up less than 5 per pent of the nation’s colleges and universities. Yet they enroll some 20 per cent of all under-graduates. They award about 40 per cent of all Ph. D’s. . More than half of the living Nobel prize winners who went to college in the United States earned degrees at land-grant instituOUTLOOK FOR FEED GRAINS INDICATES ACREAGE AND SUPPLY UP THIS YEAR: With the plantings and carryover that are now expected, and given favorable weather, the 196364 feed grain supply should be around 213 million tons, only I slightly below the 1962-63 mark of 215 million. On March 1, farmers reported ■ they intend to plant a total of : 128.5 million acres of corn, sor- • ghums, oats and barley this pring, roughly 2.6 million more than in 1962. Os this total, 69.8 million acres will be planted to corn, close Jo 16 million to sorghums, 28.7 million to oats and around 14 million to barley. With yields from feed grains in 1963 expected to be near the average of recent years and allowing for trend, combined output should : total 151.6 million tons. Feed i grain production was 143.1 million : tons in 1962. Disappearance during the 196263 marketing year is set at 154 : million tons. As a result, carryover of feed grains into 1963-64

is expected to total 61 million tons less than in 1962-63. THE PRESIDENT’S CONSUMER COUNCIL GIVES THE NATION STRONGER VOICE: The president’s year-old consumer advisory council has announced a program to give the entire nation a more forceful voice in government. The main points of emphasis are: 1. Consumer standards, including grades, labels, and quality designations for various products. 2. An improved flow of information between government and the general public. 3. Better representation of consumer interests in government. 4. The use of consumer credit and its effect on the family and the nation. 5. The administration, enforcement and scope of consumer protection by the government, and 6. The process of economic growth and ways to promote higher levels of national produce, income and employment. CHICKEN FOR CHILDREN: USDA purchases of cut-up chicken for the school lunch program totaled 60 million pounds in 1962 —ls million more than a year earlier. The bill for the chicken came to $lB million compared with nearly $13.5 million in 1961. There will be a lot of turkey on the children’s plates, too. During 1962, 43 million pounds of it were purchased — all for school lunches. Cost of the turkeyS was sl4 million last year, compared with sl7 million in 1961. Purchased mostly in the fourth quarter the 43 million pounds were the equivalent of 6 per cent of production in that period. MACHINERY CAUSES MORE FATALITIES THAN ANY OTHER SOURCE OF INJURY: Farmers in one region seem more likely to have certain kinds of accidents than those in another, according to a study of fatal accidents on framland (but not within farm homes) from 1949 to 1959. In all United States farming regions, machinery caused more fatalities than an other source of injury. The Northern Plains, lake and corn belt states had higher proportions of deaths from farm machinery than was the case in other regions. In the Northern Plains, Pacific, Mountain, Delta, Appalachian, southeast and Southern Plains states, drownings were the second largest category of fatalities. For Southeast and Southern Plains states there were almost as many drownings as machinery-caused deaths. Fir-earms ranked second as the cause of accidental death in the corn belt while falls were second in the lake and northeast regions. Fatal accidents with firearms were in third place in the Northern Plains, Lake, Pacific, Mountain, Delta, Appalachian, Southeast and Southern Plains states. Falls were the third ranking cause of death in the Corn Belt and drownings were the No. 3 fatality in the Northeast. TRACTOR RIDING CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS TO CHILDREN: Though children are fond of riding on the tractor —it is a very dangerous practice—parents are urged to keep their children off tractors —this may save the life of the child. Max I. Kallenberger In Recovery Force USS PIEDMONT (FHTNC) — Max I Kallenberger, instrumentman second class, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Kallenberger of 425 Grant st., Decatur, Ind., was in the Pacific aboard the destroyed tender USS Piedmont while she was part of the Porject Mercury recovery force this month.
