It is a triumph that brings ,us pride and represents a motive of just satisfaction for all Brazilians.” The Miss Universe Pageant wound up Sunday night with a coronation ball. leda Maria was escorted by Luiz Menezes, 20, a Brazilian electronics Student living here. The ball climaxed a day in which Miss Universe wore her crown to an Arkansas fried chicken lunch and then took it off for a dip in the surf. “I love to swim and I'ih not a bad swimmer,” said blackhaired Miss Vargas, a distant relative of the late Brazilian President Getulio Vargas.

ASCS Farm Notes

NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK — JVLY 21-27: Farming — High Hazard Industry; — For many yeans farming has ranked as the third most hazardous occupation. Only mining, including quarrying and petroleum drilling, and construction have higher death rates. In general the death rate from farm accidents has followed national trends, decreasing steadily since the turn of the century. But where the rate on farms was once below national average, in recent yeans it has been higher. And the difference appears to be increasing. In 1961, when the national rate fell to an all-time low of 50.4 deaths per 100,000 population, the farm average rose to 58.8. National farm safety week is an opportune time to examine the record to learn where farm safety falls down. National safety council statistics show that motor vehicle, home and public accidents—the three largest accident categories nationally — hit farm residents about as hard as the rest of the country. It is in work safety that farming lags behind. Work accidents ate second only to motor vehicle accidents among farm residents, comprising 31 per cent of the total. Other industries have developed safety procedures that have made work acidents the smallest of all four categories — accounting for 15 per cent of the nation’s accident toll. These same procedures, put to work on the farm, can bring farm safety back into line with the national record. A farmer must be many kinds of a craftsman. He is often called on to be a carpenter, an electrician, a mechanic. He uses fuels, chemicals, fertilizers, and many different kinds of machines. To work safety he must know and follow the safety practices developed in many different industries. n~ "In most industries, employes’ ■mistakes are noticed and corrected immediately. But much of farm work is done away from direct observation and supervision. Too often, an unsafe act, unseen and unrecogized, becomes a habit instead of being corrected promptly. These bad habits must be discovered and replaced with proper methods. National farm safety week Is not a week to be more careful, then to be forgotten until next year.. Instead it is a time to examine work habits, to compare methods with those proved effective in other industries, and to seek out better and safer ways to do our jobs. -A . •' '’ — Accident prevention is a yearround job. An official “week” is simply a reminder that emphasizes the importance of that job. Every week should be farm safety week. 1962 WOOL INCENTIVE PAYMENTS: Wool producers who filed applications for shorn wool payments during the 1962 marketing year (April 1,1962 through March 31, 1963) will receive 30 per cent of the dollar returns received from the sale of shorn wool. The rate of payment was determined by the department of agriculture as the percentage necesary to bring the year's average wool price of 47.7 cents per pound up to the previously announced incentive level of 62 cerite per pound under the national wool program. Producers will receive an incentive payment of $3 for every $lO received from the sale of shorn wool during the marketing year. This Compares with $4.45 per $lO of marketings for the 1961 marketing year. The payment rate on sales of Unshorn live lambs will be 57 cents per hunderweight. This compares

with 76 cents per hunderweight for I the 1961 marketing year. Unshorn lamb payments are designed to discourage unusual shearing of lambs before marketing. Payments will be mailed to producers the last of this month. WHEAT PROGRAM PROVISIONS CLARIFIED: Farmers are asking many questions regarding the 1964 wheat program provisions and stored "excess” wheat. Lenard C. Pound, chairman of the Indiana ASC state committee has explained the program as follows: 1. Since marketing quotas will not be in effect for the 1964 wheat crop, wheat that was grown in excess of marketing quotas in 1963 or previous years will be subject to the original penalty provisions until July 1, 1964. After that date, excess wheat which was properly stored in accordance with the aplicable regulations may be released without penalty and with no loss of acreage history on the farm where the wheat was produced. 2. If the 1963 wheat crop from a farm is small enough — because of underplanting br underproduction', arrangements may be made tor the early release of part or all of the farm’s stored excess wheat from previous crops without payment of the penalty and with no loss of wheat acreage history. 3. Loss of wheat acreage history results where a marketing quota penalty is paid or becomes due on excess wheat. Therefore, if the producer pays the penalty on stored excess wheat in order to release it before July 1, 1964, his farm’s wheat acreage history will be affected. 4. There will be no marketing quota penalties for planting in exces of acreage allotments for the 1964 wheat crop. However, producers who overplant their 1964 allotments will receive history credit only in the amount of their allotments. 5. Price support averaging 50 per cent or parity nationally will be available only |o producers who plant within the farm acreage allotments established for the 1964 wheat crop, (the present parity price is $2.51, per bushel). 6. Farmers with conservation reserve contracts agreed to plant within their farm acreage allotments or 15 acres, whichever is larger, and this means that the 1964 conservation reserve payment for the farm is dependent on keeping within the 1964 wheat acreage allotment. A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY: Secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Freeman slates: — "History is a record mostly of a world of scarcity, not plenty. Abundance is a situation that number one, calls for thankfulness. We have met the problems of scarcity . . . and have conquered them. Other countries — including those behind the lion and Bamboo and Sugar Cane curtains — would like to know how we do it. Yet we find the problems of abundance —of scientific and technological progress — more complex and harder to understand than those of scarcity. And it doesn't make, sense for the most prosperous and powerful nation in the world to admit an inability to solve these questions. "To put it very simply, we have launched a two-pronged attack on the so-called farm problem. First we are working to expand the use of our food abundance, but with the realistic view that for the forseeable future our capacity to produce will outrace even the most intensive effort to put our abundance into construction channels. Let me cite one example of how we are expanding the opportunities for constructive use of our food abundance. Last year, wc shipped abroad under the food for Peace

program over sl:6 billion worth of food. sharing our abundance with over 300 million persons in over 100 other countries. This is the true humanitarian use of our food abundance. Now some people call this surplus disposal, or relief feeding . . . and when they do, they miss an important part of the challenge of this age of abundance. It has been said that an army travels on its stomach, but we are but to prove that democrary seeks to fill *he stomach of every hungry child. But recognizing the enormous productivity or agriculture we are seeking to find workable tools which help farmers to balance what they produce with what can be efectively used.The second phase of our approach, under what we call the “rural areas development program." is designed to help improve economic conditions in all rural America. We want to help those who live in rural America to shift resources out of the production of things that are in oversupply like surplus crops — and into goods and services for which a growing need exists — like recreation, and timber. The outdoor recreation resources commission has predicted that the demand for outdoor recreation will triple between now and the year 2000 — but the speed with which this need is ringing almost defies accurate estimating. 1957, the depart; ment of agriculture tried to predict five years ahead the number of recreation visits to the national forests. (That’s right — The national forests do come under- the Jurisdiction of our department — because We administer the forest service*. Our experts considered the best evidence they had and predicted that in 1962 there might be as many as 62 million visits to the national forests. What actually happened in 1962? Why. we had 113 million recreation viaits — almost double the estimate! The important thing about rural areas development is that the principal effort is oriented arbund local communities, and must depend on local initiative and local energy i ... if success is to be achieved. "You know, it is not unique for a government to take an interest in agriculture. Infact. it is pretty much the rule in the world over. In America, we are striving to preserve our traditional family farming system, which is the wonder of the world. We try to do this by providing farmers the means by which they can work togther in adjusting production so that they may have some of the bargaining strength that other economic groups have. I like to call this—‘muscle in the market place.’ ” FIRST RECREATION AREA IN NEW PROJECT IS IN USE: Boats, ponies and swings for the children to amuse themselves with, and comfortable tables and benches for the lunch are some of the comforts for picnicking at recreation unlimited on the Fred Churchill farm north of DePauw. This is the first of five farms in the Indiana pilot program of cropland conversion known as the Harrison county recreation project, to begin actual development of re creational facilities. “Getting the loan took more time than we had figured on, “Churchill said, but “we through we had better get under way by the Fourth of July if we were going td do anything at all this summer." About 17 cars of picnickers used the facilities on the Fourth and six more braved the weather Sunday, Churchill said. Rains Saturday and Sunday slowed activity down a great deal. The problem which comes under the Agriculture act of 1962 is for the purpose of improving family incomes by promoting the conservation of and better use of farmland. Funds for the- Conversion may be acquired from both the agricultural stabilization and conservation service and from federal loans through the farmers home

administration The ASCS will share some of the costs of the Churchill project and a loan was also granted through the Harrison county FHA office at Corydon in charge of Gene Brown. ». Future developments include an acre lake and the opening up of an old wagon road along the river for bridle paths. At this time, a nominal fee is charged each carload of picnickers and no further charges are made for use of the facilities. “We’ll see how this works out,” Churchill said. “If-people abuse' the privilege, we may have to rent boats and ponies for so much an hour ” LIGHTNING LOssEs: Loss of farm property from fire and lightning amounted to about $163 million in 1961 — roughly oneseventh of the annual fire loss for the nation. The damage included loss of farm buildings, machinery, livestock, crops stored in buildings and personal property such as household goods. « Estimates are that s o m e $33 million of the loss resulted from lightning with or without fire. Much of such loss could have been prevented with effective use of lightning rods. About one-fifth of the fire-claim dollars paid by farm mutual insurance companies in recent years was chargeable to lightning. FEED GRAINS: Feed grain disappearance in first Q half of 1962-63 was practically the same as t h e record in similar period of 1961.62. Sharp increase in domestic use in January-March more than made up lor the smaller consumption in October-Decem-ber compared with a year earlier. Domestic use in October-March was slightly higher "than in the same period of 1961-62. Carryover of feed, grains into 196.1 64 is expected to total about 61 million tons, 11 million less than a year earlier. Feed prices in April continued higher thah a year earlier, with prices of feed averaging 4 per cent higher and high protein feed up .6 per cent. . , x Farmers signed up to divert 25.7 million acres from feed grains to soil-conserving uses this year — about 3 million acres less than actually diverted in 1962, and slightly more than in 1961 More base acreage is in the program this year than in 1962 . . . but the average percent division is less. VACATION TIME — PRACTICE SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAY: SAFETY TIPS — 1 Diive defensively — watch the othei driver. 2 Drive in accordance with the condition of the road. 3. Don't ever fight sleep-at the wheel — surrender to it off the road. » 4. Dft’t drink — and drive — a thinking doesn’t drink, a drinking driver doesn’t think. 5. Keep back one car length for every 10 mph — then watch out.
