IMiiimfi rmn.fi ■ ■■■ i ■ ■ . — ■ _ • i Some State Changes The news that Herbert Hill, long-time publicist for the Indiana GOP state central committee is stepping down is not unexpected. Hill is making room for writer more favorable to the conservative element in the Indiana Republican party. The Indiana Republicans have fallen victim to their own most conservative wing. This will probably be quite popular with those who know the least about government, and for those who wish to use the ignorance of others to push themselves forward in politics. They still draw the same salary, but their work “conservatives” are truly honest, forthright believers in what they promulgate. Most are merely giving their constituents what they think they want — the least amount of government possible. The ystill draw the same salary, but their work is easy — they just oppose any change in the status quo. No use examining the change, to see if it might, be beneficial — the ignorant would oppose it because it is a change, and they make up a surprising majority in many areas. Until the average voter is willing to read and study about the problems of government and law, many legislators will be able to spend all their time in wild, ridiculous speeches about saving money. We don’s mean to imply that saving money is wild and ridiculous, only that the speeches are. You save money by understanding government, and governmental services, and by terminating services when they are no longer necessary. You do not save money by making across-the-board cuts — this only decreases governmental unit morale, hidden expenses, and extra appropriations for that suddenly appear after the items ostensibly elminated by the budget cut have already been secured.

A S C S Farm Notes

ASCS FARM NOTES WOOL PAYMENTS NOW BEING MADE Payments for shorn wool and unshorn lambs marketed from April 1,1962 through March 31, 1963 are now being made by the county office. Applications for this payment had to be filed on or before April 30, 1963. The rate of payment for shorn wool is 30 per cent of the total amount received from the sale of the wool during the year. This brings the average wool price up to the announced level of 62 cents per pound under the ACT. One cent per pound of wool sold is deducted as a wool promotion fund as voted by the majority of wool producers. The rate of payments for unshorn lambs is 57 cents per hundredweight of live animals sold, with a promotion fund deduction of 5 cents per hundredweight. Wool program regulations for the current marketing year — April 1 through December 31, 1963 — are the same as for previous years. MAJOR PROVISIONS OF 1964 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM The 1964 Feed Grain Program will be basicly the same as the successful 1963 program. The major change in next year’s Feed Grain Program is an increase in the top limit on diversion from a farm's base: acreage with an increase in the rate of payment for the maximum diversion. This is intended to encourage producers to divert additional feed grain acreage and to increase their income. In 1964, a producer may divert as much as 50 per cent of his feed grain base acreage (in 1963, it was 40 per cent) and those who divert from 40 to 50 per cent will receive diversion payments at the maximum rate for all acres diverted. As before, the maximum " acreage diversion will be 25 acres, if this is more than 50 per cent of the farm base. The total national average pricesame as in 1963, but a slightly support levels in 1964 will be the larger proportion of the support will be made available through loan rate for com (national average) will be sl.lO per bushel, support payment 15 cents per bushel. Barley — 84 cents per bushel loan rate, and 12 cents per bushel support payment and grain sorghum — $1.77 per hundredweight loan rate and 23 cent per hundredweightsupport, payment, _ Payments-in-kind for both di- - ' tSe non-loin parT of the price - sunpport will again be made in the for mos negotiable certificates with which the producer may receive grain from CCC stocks or cash at the ASC County office, if he wishes CPC to help in marketing the certificates. As in the past, eligibility for payments jnd price support will be conditional upon maintenance of normal acreage (1959-60 average) in soil-conserving crops or practices, including summer fallow and idle land. Also as in the past, a producer who owns or operates more than one farm will be eligible to participate in the program on one farm only if, ort each of his other fajms, the feed gram base is not exceeded. The Feed Grain Program for 1964, will support farm income and reduce Government grain stocks and costs more effective- * ly than would alternative measures, the Department of Agriculture has announced. At the Same nearly like, the 1963 program as time, it will keep the program as possible. FARM PROGRAMS ARE IMPORTANT Horace Godfrey, ASCS Administrator recently told of the Ntrides Agriculture has made since 1933 when Federal Farm Programs first began. Mr. Godfrey said, “We are at a turning point in a number of our Farm Programs” and cited the wheat situation for an example. “One of the effects of the Wheat Referendum has been to encourage in some quarters a juandiced view toward the future of Farm Programs in general. Some have chosen to see in the defeat,of marketing quotas, a growing farmer rejection of all Farm Programs. This view, I must say, is most often expressed by people who have opposed Farm Programs all along.” “Actually, the evidence is all to the contrary. I am convinced

that most farmers realize the importance of Farm Programs. Certainly they are cooperating by the millions in Farm Programs — and most of these programs are operating quite successfully. This is true in Feed Graiin, Soybeans, Tobacco and other crops. “Nethertheless, a belief by some people that farmers want an end to Farm Programs is a factor to be reckoned with as we look to the future.” He recalled that 30 years ago over one-fourth of the population lived on farms, that members of the well-developed farm block worked together in the interest of farm people, and that farm organizations were generally in agreement. Today, only eight per cent of the people live on farms, he stated, adding that the decline in Agriculture’s representation in Congress is “downright dramatic.” To clarify his statement, the Administrator pointed to the last election when the House of Representatives wound up with 19 fewer rural seats and 19 more urban seats, a difference of 38 seats from one Congress to the next. “If we are to protect the place of family farm agriculture in our economy, in the face of the difficulties I have outlined, it is essential that re reassert the need for Farm Programs. “We don’t need Farm Programs less than we needed them 30 years ago — we need them just as iy“Agricurture’s ability to produce surpluses has not declined — it has increased, “The ability of these surpluses to bring ruin to family farm operators has not declined — it has grown in this era of high cost farming,” he explained. A FARMER The farmer is a buyer, seller, a taxpayer, a consumer, a manufacturer, a businessman, and a worker. He is never any of these alone. Here is a protrait of a “statistical” farmer in 1962. As a buy--1 er, he spent $7,500 for his business needs; As a seller, he received SIO,OOO for bis farm products; As a taxpayer, he contributed SI,OOO to the Government; As a consumer, he spent $4,000 on family living. He earned more than $1,500 off the farm. His house and personal goods were valued at about $6,500; As a manufacturer, his “factory” was valued at more than $47,600; As a producer, he farmed 325 acres, earned about 5 per cent on his capital, had about $3,6000 in liquid assets, and owed $7,000 to creditors; As a worker, he labored almost 50 hours a week. The farmhouse “rent” and home-produced food and fuel he used were valued at almost SI,OOO. His net farm income was $3,500. MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE OF FARMLAND IS A RARE OCCURRENCE Farm mortgage foreclosure has gone the way of the draft horse and the threshing machine. It has almost a rarity 'in the past 20 years. Some related developments during this time are: i ‘ —There has been a ready market for farmland at steadily rising prices despite the growing disparity between prices and net returns. . —Enlargement of existing farms has become an increasing importmant reason for buying land. During the past 10 years, land purchases for this purpose nearly, doubled. —Use of the installment sales contracts between seller and buyer of farmland has Increased. •In the 1950'5,- 15 per cent of the land sales were financed by this means, in the past three years the percentage has been 30 percent. The installment sales contract is an arrangement whereby the buyer pays down 20 to 30 per cent of the purchase price. The balance is paid in installments over 10 to 15 years. DO YOU HAVE A CONSERVATION PROBLEM ON YOUR FARM? Several farmers have filed applications for cost-share assistance to' solve' conservation problems, this week. Have YOU filed your application? Don’t wait — come to the ASCS office and let us explain the practices and cost-shar-ing advantages. Now is a good time to apply that needed limestone — have the soil tested — (it 'is mandatory in

Adams County) you will be sure to apply the needed tonnage. OLDER FOLKS REMAIN ON THE FARM: YOUNG * ADULTS LEAVE FOR THE CITY More than 43 per cent of all farm people are under 20 years of age, compared with 39 per cent of the non-farm, population. But farm population is low in its proportion of young, adults and early middle aged persons. Persons 20 to 44 years £Td account for only one-fourth of the total farm population. In the city it’s close to one-third. — r~r— These figures indicate the exodus of young adultp from farms during the last two decades. As a result of this movement, today, there are many more older adults on farms than there are young adults. 1 These figures indicate the exodus of young adults from farms during the last two decades. As a result of this movement, today, there are many more older adults on farms than there are younger adults. Thee are more males per female on the farms than in the city —about 108 to every 100 females. In the city, it’s 93 males to 100 females. The high ratio of men to women continues to be distinctive feature of the farm population. All in all, more than 14 million people live on farms in the United States. That’s about 8 per cent of the total population. Nearly 6 million are in the labor force — more than 4.25 million men and 1.5 million women. SAFETY NOTES 1963 Farm Safety Theme — INSPECTION plus CORRECTION equals PROTECTION means “SAFETY NOW — and “ALWAYS.” The 1963 National Farm Safety Week is past — Continue to correct dangerous conditions and habits - on the FARM and HIGHWAYS. This adds up to the protection of lives — “YOUR OWN AND OTHERS.” PRACTICE SAFETY TODAY—ENJOY HAPPY TOMORROWS. Lactation Averages By Holstein Herds Three registered Holstein herds in this area have completed new lactation averages, the Holstein Friesian association of American armoured today. Harry Wulliman & Son, Berne, has completed 20 production records averaging 14,959 pounds of milk and 565 pounds of butterfat. Ivan L. Steury, Berne, has 10 completed production records averaging 14,558 pounds of milk and 533 pounds of butterfat. Chris Stahly, of Geneva, has 36 completed ' production records averaging 15,207 pounds of milk and 555 pounds of butterfat. These lactation averages are calculated on the generally-accepted two-milkings-a-day, 305-day, mature equivalent basis. It provides a uniform means for comparison and selection in ■'the registered Holstein herd owner’s breeding program. Purdue University supervised the weighing and testing of prouction as part of the official herd testing programs of the national Holstein orgenization. Jerry P. Angle On Special Training Airman 2/C Jerry P. Angle, son of the Rev. and Mrs. Kenneth P. Angle of this city, has been chosen for special training in appliances. He left Friday for, the Air Force base at Westover, Mass. On completion of this training, he will return to Lockbpurne, 0., where he has been stationed.

SOCIAL SECURITY QUIZ 1. Q. — I am a widow 34 years old with 4 small children. I am receiving social security benefits for them and myself. If I remarry will it stop the children’s benefits? A —Nd Your marriage would stop only your benefits.
