ACP BRIDGES GAP IN APPLYING SCIENCE TO FARMLAND: Farmers who have a conservation problem on their farms which they haven’t yet been able to "work out should check with their local ASCS county -office to determine whether cost-share assistance is available under the agricultural conservation program, for the particular farm problem. Cost-sharing often is the means of closing the gap between willingness to remedy ;i problem and actually applying the conservation practice to the land. The time is growing short for completing conservation practices during 1963. so if farmers would like to complete practices this fall and have not filed a request for cost-sharing, they are urged to do so at once. The ACP program is authorized by congress in recognition of the fact tha (the wise use and adequate protection of the nation’s farm and ranch land is in the public interest. The key to ACP is "conservation- with-use,” for this land must continue to produce the food and fiber needed by future as well as present generations. Program funds are allocated each year among the states and counties on the basis of conservation needs. Thp ACP program must achieve the most conservation for every dollar spent. But the program also recognized that agriculture varies greatly between regions, states, counties and even farms. So, each year, the program is examined carefully by farm officials and leaders, and suggestions are made for improving it. It' isn’t practical to include every good conservation practice in the program. However, a sincere effort is made to see that available ACP help is directed so that the individual farmer will have assistance with the conservation problems on |iis farm for which costsharing is most needed. Farmers are encouraged to stop by their ASCS county office to discuss their conservation problems and the possiblity of obtaining ACP cooperation in carrying out a needed "measure — sooner or to a greater extent than it would otherwise be done. Information soon will be available on 1964 ACP practices which are available to farmers, including practice specification- and cost-share rates. SUGAR SITUATION HIGHLIGHTS: In a recent discussion of the sugar situation, U. S. department of agriculture officials stated: “In the free world, the production.. outlook is good. U. S. cane and beet growers are about to harvest a record crop. The Western Eurpean crop is expected to be substantially larger than, last year. The Philippines have a bumper crop and expect a larger one next year. India also is upping its production. Production will be generally good in Australia and the rest of Oceania. World-wide production will be much higher in 1963-64 than in 1962-63. however, world sugar stocks are down from this last year.” 1963 CROP WHEAT UNDER SUPPORT PROGRAM REPORTED: Nationally, 79.4 million bushels of 1963-crop wheat had been put under price support as of the end of August, including 67.8 million bushels stored in warehouses, 11.6 million bushels stored on farms, and 58,000 bushels under purchase agreements. This is the smallest total of new-crop wheat put under support at the end of August since

1957. It compares with 100.6 million bushels of 1962-crop wheat put under 'support through August 1962, and 198.6 million bushels of 1961-crop wheat put under support through August 1961. FAMILY FARM BEST SYSTEM, SAYS FREEMAN: Speaking before a farm group recently, secretary of agriculture Orville L. Freeman said that he had returned from his survey of socialist farming in Eastern Europe, “with my conviction reinforced that there is no more efficient and effective system or agriculture than the American family farm. “Agricultural output is one of the proudest achievements — indeed, one of the miracles —of the American economy,” he declared. “It is a testimonial to the incentives of free enterprise. Under it, our farmers have something to work for which is lacking in collective systems. "Compare the results, if anyone doubts this. Eight per cent of our population feeds our 185 million people, with enough left over to furnish food and fiber for a food for peace program which is active in 100 countries, plus ample reserves against emergency at home. This compares with 50 per cent of the Soviet population producing a far less satisfactory and more expensive diet. * “One U. S. farmer 27 people, one Russian farmer feeds 6 people. The American consumer spends only 10 per cent of his disposable income for a well-balanced, attractive diet that comes to him in handy packages and cans and in frozen and convenient forms. The Soviet people, on the other hand, spend nearly half of their income on foods that run heavily to cereals and starch. Canned and frozen foods are not to be found in their stores??-- ' "We gathered additional evidence of the American farmer’s ability to out-prduce the Russians in the food price comparisons that We made in Soviet cities. One of their principal foods, bread, costs 65 cents for a 2-pound loaf, as compared with 39 cents here. You see people buying just one or two eggs, at 10 to 12 cents each for medium size; our large eggs are 5 cents each. Lard costs $1 a pound in Moscow, (they use a great deal of lard, and 15 cents in Washington. Remember also that they pay these much higher prices from salaries that are much lower than our on the average. “Our consumers would be more appreciative of the low food prices made possible by the American farmer if they went shopping in the U. S. S. R.” U. 8. WHEAT AND FLOUR EXPORTS: U. S. wheat and flour exports from July, 1962 through June 1963, totaled 638 million compared with 718 million during 196162- < Although this represents a decrease of 11 per cent from the previous year, the total was substantially larger than was earlier estimated. April exports at 77 million bushels made a new monthly record, and was followed by the much larger-figure of 86 million bushels exported in May. PROMOTION PROGRAM FOR PORK IN JAPAN: A pork promotion program in Japan has been so successful that the Japanese food agency — one year ago troubled by mounting pork surpluses — recently announced plans to make an “emergency import of 3,000 tons of pork. This $2-million order has already been placed in the United States, the largest purchase of U. S. pork ever made by Japan. Cooperating in this market development program are the U. S. feed grains council, the Japan meat dealer’s association, and FAS The program aims to in-

crease utilization of feed grains by first raising consumption levels to livestock products. Early in 1962, it became apparent that some kind of stimulus to raise pork consumntion in Japan was needed. Because of encouragement by the Japanese government they began to buy pork in the open market. The pork promotion campaign got underway in March of last year with the showing of promotional film shorts over Japanese television. The “Meat Festival” which followed, however, made the greater impact. For one week, meat retailers in Japan’s major cities sold pork and pork products at reduced prices. Japanese radio, television, and newspapers promoted the event. During the festival, pork sales in the selected cities picked up by 30 per cent, and then settled at a level which was 12-13 per cent higher than sales prior to the campaign. Throughout Japan total pork sales averaged 6 per cent above those of the prior period The feed grains Council k planning a similar “Meat Festival” for this fall which will emphasize red meat. Though an estimated 58,000-ton increase in course grain shipments to Japan in seed for this past fiscal year, the full effect of the program on grain exports will be felt in the months ahead. Hog producers cut back in production after the period of pork surpluses, and are just now raising larger heards in response to growing demand. Even so, the current deficit necessitated the import of 3,000 tons of pork. In the long run, the United States expects feed grain sales to Japan to continue their upward trend, as red meat consumption increases and the local livestock industry expands. DOUGHNUTS: Doughnuts stimulate use of U. S. wheat in the Far East — doughnuts — which came to America in the recipe books of early Dutch settlers as ’oliijkoecks” — are now going to the Far East where the Dutch delicacy is being used to boost U. S. wheat and edible oil sales. “Operation Doughnut," part of a broad market development program being carried on by wheat associates and FAS in the Far East, was begun in 1958 at a trade fair in India. The pastry proved to be so 'popular that WA obtained two more doughnut making machines for use at “wheat kitchen” demonstrations. Since then, doughnuts have been a key feature at major fairs in Ceylon, lodonesia, Pakistan, Cambodia, and most recently at the happy world exhibition in Singapore last month. Wheat associates introduced a late-model doughnut machine at the Singapore show. Lighter and less expensive than the others, its lower cost should encourage purchase by Asian bakeries and thus boost wheat consumption. Flour for the dough is milled locally and the doughnuts are fried in vanaspati —a combination of soybean and cottonseed oils. Pakistan, Turkey, and Iran use U. S. soybeans and cottonseed oils in the manufacture of vanaspati. DID YOU KNOW THAT’? About 25 cents of the consumer’s food dollar is spent in eating places outside the home? This includes school lu n chrooms, hospitals, snackbars, cafeterias, and restaur* ants. From 1954 to 1962 the population of the country increased 14.5 per cent, while federal civilian, employment increased only 4.3 per cent? Federal milk marketing orders now operate in 83 milk markets in the United State? These marketing areas serve more than 98 million customers. A federal milk order is a regulation issued by the secretary of agriculture to stabilize fluid milk prices — to make the buying and selling of fluid milk an orderly process on which dairy farmers, milk dealers, and consumers all depend. Secretary Freeman, while in Russia, received permission for a team of scientists from this country to collect wild plants in the Soviet Union? John L. Creech and Donald H. Scott of ATS have been assigned to spend 60 days in the Alma Ala region to hunt for plant seeds, especially fruits and ornamentals. ‘ The USDA graduate school, founded in 1921, is self-support-ing? It is governed by a general administration board appointed by the secretary of agriculture. This board consists of top gvernment officials from within and outside

the department of agriculture. The school is administered by a director appointed by the board, and a small full-time staff. In addition to the resident evening courses, there is a correspondence program, an international program, public lectures, and special seminars. The complex marketing system for American farm products requires that, on a average, food be handled 20 times between farm and consumer? How this is done affects the quality and price of this food. The agricultural research service and state agricultural experiment stattons help improve both efficiency and food quality. Americans today spend less than one-fifth of their take-home pay for food? Sixty-five per cent of all cars in Sweden today are fitted with safety belts? In 1898 an insurance company issued a policy to a doctor promising him protection from possible damage suits brought by owners of horses frightened,by the sight and noise of the doctor’s car? SAFETY NOTES: Autumn leaves aren’t the only things that turn from green to red — be alert! Take a look at that last near accident with farm machinery — could you have avoided it? Be especially carefully with heavy equipment on the highways at early dusk and twilight — turn on your light — be alert for other vehicles that haven’t switched on their lights.

Smoking Case Is Rejected By High Court

WASHINGTON (UPD — The Supreme Court refused today to consider an appeal by a Louisiana widow who unsucfully sued two cigarette firms on the ground they were responsible for her • husband’s death of lung cancer. The action was taken at the court’s first working session of the new term featured by announcement by the justices of various appeals they were either accepting for argument, or' rejecting. Immediately after announcement of the court orders, the justices began hearing arguments on the first of five Negro sit-in cases that might have far-reaching impact on the right of private business to practice racial discrimination. The smoking case was brought to the Supreme Coilrt by Mrs. Victoria St. Pierre Lartigue. She sued the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Ge. after the death of her husband in 1955. In seeking damages, she charged that the sale of cigarettes by the two makers implied a "warranty of wholesomeness.” A New Orleans federal jury ruled against her and the sth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the finding on April 19 of this year. Hie Supreme Court’s brief order today let the lower court findings stand. In a similar case, the Florida Supreme Court has ruled that a cigarette company can be held liable for the death of n person. The sth Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled rearguments on the case for Nov. 1. In the Louisiana case, the circuit court observed that Mrs. Lartigue’s h u s b a n d smoked from the time he was 9 years old. She acknowledged he was a “cigarette fiend.” The opinion made no direct reference to a federal government study now being awaited on the possibility of a link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. In other actions today, the Supreme Court: —Agreed to hear an appeal of the Rev. Fred L. Shuttiesborth, Birmingham, Ala., integration leader, of his 1961 conviction of interfering with police during a “freedom ride” incident. —Decided to hear for the fourth time arguuments in the fight of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against an Alabama law which outlaws the civil rights organization. —Let stand a lower court ruling that other Negroes are entitled to attend Clemson College in South Carolina on the strength of an order earlier this year that let Harvey Gantt become the first of his race to enter the state - supported school. » —Rejected an appeal of 11 Savannah, Ga., white residents who protested against the operation of an all-Negro school in their neighborhood. —Agreed to rule whether a native-born citizen can be expatriated and ordered deported

because he served in Fidel Castro’s Cuban army. The appeal came from Herman F. Marks, 42, a native of Milwaukee, who has been accused by the Justice Department of handling a number of executions while serving Castro in 1959-60. —Let stand a circuit' court order that could open the way for a strike over job security by the Order of Railway Conductors against the bullman Co.

Youthful Driver Is Involved In Wreck Noah Ellenberger, Jr., 45, of Monroe, has been arrested for permitting an unlicensed driver to operate a motor vehicle, after his 13-year-old son was driving a car involved in an accident at 6:10 p.m. Sunday. The boy, Larry Ellenberger, 13, was driving an auto which struck a cement storage silo at the Farm Bureau elevator at Center and Andrews streets in Monroe. The youth explained his foot slipped off the brake onto the accelerator, causing the car to go out of control. The concrete silo was slightly damaged, with an imprint of the car made in it by the impact but the auto suffered an estimated S3OO damage. The father of the youngster will appear in court at a later date to answer to* the charge filed against him. Trade in a good town — Decatur.
