Losing Faith What happens when people lose faith in their currency? Let’s consider the statement from our two paragraphs, “If the holders of these Federal "‘promises to pay should lose their confidence in the government, we would have the most terrible economic collapse ever,seen.” We certainly would. We would have more than that. Those “holders of Federal promises to pay” are us — the people who own war bonds, defense bonds, government bonds. They are the banks and financial instutitions. ‘ If we lose faith in our own government, we will haVe a revolution. Then money would be worthless, whether it was backed by gold or plain promise. When a government falls, so does its currency, regardless. 1 It would seem quite unlikely that the banks of this country, or other financial institutions, or the people, would lead a revolution, doesn’t it? "And so, cannot but conclude that the entire two paragraphs, while they sounded perfectly correct at first glance, were actually completely wrong, and what passes for “morality” is only ignorance. • Os course debts must be paid back — but if security remains, new debts can be contracted. Where would the big corporations be without extending their debts. What big corporation that is expanding has tried to pay off its debt for expansion? All try to keep getting bigger and bigger. Only companies that are dying must cut the size of their debt as their assets shrink. So, it becomes obvious that at least a 10 billion dollar tax cut, especially for the lower income groups, is badly needed to raise employment from 95% to 100% of our labor pool. As more enter the labor market, so must the market expand to absorb them, and keep our country’s economy healthy. Spending should be watched — it should be for necessary goods and services — but it should not be feared unless demand exceeds production — then taxes can be increased to bring demand back in line. True business health will not come from tax windfalls. It will come from a healthy, solid economy, in which every man able to work is gainfully employed, and hence able to buy his fair share of market goods. ■a

A S C S Farm Notes
1963 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM; Participants of the 1963 feed grain program have or soon will receive form ASCS-590-Notice of acreage. Anyone who does not understand this notice, is urged to call at the county office within the 15-day period (which is 15 days after the date of the notice). A call at the office during this period may save the farmer misunderstanding at the time the final payment is issued. All field work should be completed by July 25. Again, operators are urged to assist the reporters at the time he calls at the farm. PRICE SUPPORT ON 1963 WHEAT; <> Wheat price support of $1.84 for no. 1 wheat is available to wheat producers who did not exceed their 1963 wheat allotments. Wheat may be stored on the farm or in an approved warehouse. Price support may be secured by a loan or purchase agreement. The Central Soya Co. will issue negotiable warehouse receipts, however, the wheat sale must be made through the local elevators, at the normal delivery point of the farmer. - All loans are completed by the county office. A negotiable warehouse receipt must be presented at the time of application for a loan. Wheat must be stored 30 days, if farm storage -is the chosen method. RESEALING FARM-STORED CORN: Farmers who have 1962, 1960 or 1959-crop corn farm stored under priced support loans have an opportunity to obtain an extension of their current loans, and earn storage payments, if stored for one year after July 31, 1963. Loans extended under the reseal program for 1961 crop com will mature July 31, 1964. However, storage payments will be made after July 31, 1963 for the past year’s resealed corn. Farmers who have purchased agreements on 1962 com may convert the purchase agreement to a reseal loan. Farmers who wish to reseal their corn should inform the ASCS county office before the loan maturity of July 31. All farmers having corn loans have been notified of the options of liquidation of their corn loans, which are reseal, repayment or delivery to CCC. The corn reseal program in Indiana is available as a result of a recent determination of the ASC state committee that the program should apply here. The decision was based on feasibility of safe storage of corn on farms for the recent reseal period, and whether it would be advantageous to producers and the commodity credit corporation to make reseal loans available. The reseal program encourages farmers to hold com stocks on the farm. This keeps it in production areas where most of it is ultimately used. The ASC committees use the farm storage program as an effective tool in helping farmers maket their corn, and other grain. It permits holding com off the market at harvest time when commercial facilities are often running at capacity, and when market prices tend to be seasonably low. STATEMENT BY SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE ORVILLE L. FREEMAN: “A number of questions have been raised in the press and by farm commentators as to the position of the secretary of Agriculture on new wheat legislation. “The first question to be resolved is: What do farmers want? In this case, there are very real doubts as to whether any consensus "actually exists. The refrendum not only failed of a two-thirds vote, but fell short of a majority. Most of the big wheat states voted short of the necessary two-thirds. “Based on my mail and the discussions I’ve had with wheat farmers and with farm organizational leaders, I see littlg evidence' that

the wheat farmers desire s new Wheat Program. Editorial opinion within the wheat areas is sharply divided. Polls made since the referendum Indicate a similar division among farmers. “These feelings are reflected in the current attitude of the Congress. We are in constant contact with the Congress, and it is my judgment, based on their comments, that it would be impossible to pass any kind of wheat legislation. City Congressmen, in particular, have made it sharply clear to me that they are not about to vote for wheat legislation—and we live today with the fact that over 300 Congressional districts are new considered to be predominantly urban. “Obviously, wheat legislation cannot be passed without strong congressional support. Every farm bill has hard going. In the last two sessions, the vote on the feed grain legislation has always been close, despite the acknowledged success of that program. “We are now and will continue to listen carefully as to whether there is a desire among wheat farmers for new legislation. “As to the nature of possible legislation, you will recall that the president in a press conference on the day following the referendum said that ‘Any plan that offered us “a hope of reducing the surpluses, of maintaining the farmer’s income, and was not excessive, incost, we will certainly listen to.’ The president said further that he thought ‘it would be difficult to get a bill by the congress. As you recall the bill which led to the referendum was very close. There is no indication that there is a consensus on agricultural matters in the congress between the house and senate.’ “In view of all these factors, the department wil continue to apply the standards it has consistently followed in farm legislation. As the president indicated, we seek to strengthen farm income, cut surpluses and reduce excessive costs. These standards are valid. Legislation will be measured by them. As the president said, we will certainly listen to any plan meeting these requirements. And, when and if we do hear from the farmer, we will listen very carefully. NEW HORIZONS: John A. Baker, assistant secretary says, “agricultural output is expanding at an unprecedented rate so that, in spite of an increase of 65 million in population, by 1980 : our farms wil be able to produce i all the food and fiber we need with > 50 million fewer cropland acres ! than we had available for crops • in 1959. “Let’s make those 50 milion extra acres a boon to America, both rural and urban. Let’s not idle them, let’s not retire them, Let’s use them for all their multiple benefits, including outdoor recreation. We visualize millions of those acres eventually going into trees or to grass.” AIMS OF RURAL AREAS DEVELOPMENT: Eight specific objectives have been established for the rural areas development effort. They are: ■'l. To preserve and improve the family farm pattern of American agriculture. 2. To increase the income of people living in rui&l America — per person and per family — and to eliminate the causes of underemployment. 3. To expand more rapidly the job opportunities by stimulating investments in rural America in all the enterprises and services | that make up a modern economyfactories, stores, recreational enterprises, crafts and services of all kinds, and ' technically trained and other professional people. 4. To develop rapidly but in an orderly way a wide range of outdoor recreational opportunities on privately owned and public lands — recreational opportunities to serve the needs of a growing population in the cities and towns and
rural areas. 5. To readjust land use. nationwide, to achieve a balance so that each acre and resource are used for purposes to which they are adapted, and to meet national needs. •\ 6. To provide appropriate services and adequate financial support forthe 1 protection, development, and management of our soil, water, forest, fish, and wildlife, and open spaces. 7. To improve existing rural community facilities and institutions and where needed to build new* ones so that people in our rural areas are assured pure water supplies, first-rate schools and hospitals, adequate streets and roads and other services that are standard in a modern community. 8. To make continuous and systematic efforts to eliminate the many complex causes of rural poverty. APPOINTED TO STUDY THE NEED OF SYSTEM SUITED TO OUTDOOR RECREATION: The secretaries of interior and agriculture have appointed a fiveman team to study the need for preservation and conservation of a nationwide system of wild rivers particularly suited to outdoor recreation. Department of agriculture representatives on the team are Byron B. Beattie of the forest service and Dr. Laurence I. Hewes, Jr., of RAD. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY: The president means business in seeking equality of opportunity for all citizens, vice-president Lyndon B. Johnson told the department’s executive review committee in a recent meeting' on equal employment opportunity. He- urged the department executives to do everything they can to see that people are employed on the basis of merit — on the basis of qualifications, without regard to religion, race, or where they live. In reviewing the work of President Kennedy’s committee on equal employment opportunity, the vice president said that since the committee was established 2 years ago, it has received 1,800 complaints. Os these, it has resolved more than 1,000 and 72 per cent of the decisions were in favor of the complainants. In closing, vice president Johnson pointed out that the emancipation proclamation freed the slaves of their chains 100 years ago, but it did not free the Negro. Until education knows no color and until employment knows no discrimination, the slave will be free of his chains but the Negro will not be free. Under secretary Charles S. Murphy, representing secretary Orville L. Freeman—who at the time was attending a conference in South America—said the department fully subscribes to the concepts of using full manpower and is committed to equal employment opportunity for all. The under secretary told agency heads and personnel officers of a number of important steps that have been taken to improve our position on equal employment opportunity. He called attention to the appointment of Carl B. Barnes as director of personnel and the addition" of William M. Seabron as his assistant to devote full time to equal employment opportunities.

1. Q—l will be 65 id 1966. How many years will I have had to work under social security in order to be eligible for benefit? A—ls you are a man, you will need 15 quarters of coverage which figures out to about 3% years of work. If you are a woman, you will need 12 quarters of coverage or approximately 3 years. 2. Q—l requested a statement on the amount of earnings credited to my social security account late in >1961. How soon can I check it again? A—You can check your account as often as ouce a year if you like. There is no charge for this service. We encourage everyone to check his- social security record at least once every three years. In this way you can Jceep up with your record and make sure it is cor* rect. Remember, if there has been a mistake made on your record, the longer it goes unnoticed the harder it is to correct. 3. Q—l am receiving social security benefits. If I should go back to work can I wait until I make my SI2OO before I file a report? A—ls you return to work and expect to earn over SI2OO a year you should notify the social security administration right away. By I giving an estimate of your expected earnings as soon as you return to work you can avoid being overpaid and having to return some of your benefits. 4. Q—l do construction work and usually work for several employers during the year. Since they all deduct social security taxes I usually end up paying taxes on more, than the maximum amount. Is there any way I can get a refund? A—Yes, there is. When you file your federal income tax return you should show the excess amount of social security taxes you have paid and claim a refund cm it just like you would if you had paid too much income tax. 5. Q—l am a widow 64 years old and have been receiving benefits on my husband’s account since? I was 62. If I should remarry would these benefits stop? A—Generally speaking, yesi tney would. However, if you married a man entitled to dependent widower's benefits on his previous wife’s account or a man entitled to child disability benefits, yours would not specified as “National Farm Safety Week” — actually each week, each day and each hour should be specified as “safety time.” Safety is a year around job — farming is a hazardous occupation — so during “Safety Week” take stock of conditions around the farm which may prove to be a hazard to human life — this may save a life, which may be your own. REMEMBER: INSPECTION PLUS CORRECTION EQUALS PROTECTION.
stop. Even if your new husband was not entitled to either of thes< two types of benefits, but was drawing benefits on tpe basis of his own work you could qualify for one-half of his benefit amount. 6. Q—My wife died two months ago. We have thrre children under 18. Could they receive any benefits? A—You should go to your local social security office to discuss this case in particular. Generally speaking, in order for child’s benefits to l be payable on the mother’s acouut she must have been working; the equivalent of a year and a half in the three years prior to her death. There are other situations in which benefits may be paid, so you should discuss the situation with your local office even if your wife did not meet the work requirement mentioned. •
