ASC S Farm Notes

1903 FEED GRAIN PAYMENTS COMPLETED; payments to eligible participants in the 1963 feed grain program have been made. Payments for diverting acreage to . conserving crops totaled $255,439 and total price support payments dn the participating arms who produced a permitted acreage of- corr n- -received $113,465. making the total payments to participants on the 558 Adams county farms, $367,904, 1964 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: There will be a feed grain program in 1964 similar to the previous h r ograms — 1961-62 and 63. Some of the changes are: the entire division payment may be made at the additional rate, when the intention is as much as 40 per cent of -the base; the maximum diversion will be the larger of 25 acres or 50 per cent of the base, not to exceed the base; (prior yeats the maximum was 40 per cent); price support rates will be slightly lower than in 1963, which was the first year price support payments were made; rates will be 15 cents for corn. 12 cents for barley and 12.88 cents for grain sorghums. Feed grain bases will remain the same — the 1959-60 average. Notices of rates and bases will be mailed to feed grain producers some time in January. The sign-up period will begin about the middle of February. 1964. 1963 ACP APPROVALS: Again, we advise farmers who have received approvals for the establishment of conseration practices on their farms, that the time for completing such practices is growing short, and urge them to complete the practices and report to the county office before their deadline date, which is listed on the approval form sent out from this office. ACP HIGHLIGHTS: Cost sharing to aid farmers in carrying out soil, water and wildlife conservation is a major feature of the agricultural conservation program. A recent summary

of ACP accomplishments during its-- more -than -25 years of-exist*. ence points up the following: Terraces built under ACP since 1936 would reach around the world 55 times. XVaterways built under ACP during this same period w'tiuld make 20-foot strips of sod-covered channels across the United States 100 times, —- -— — Under this program, cost sharing has helped farmers plant enough trees jo cover all the farmland in Connecticut, New Hampshire, Delaware, and Rhode Island. Farmers cooperating in ACP have established enough permanent vegetation to cover twiee tile cropland in Texas. Since .1936, ACP has helped farmers build water storage structures with a total surface area equal to Lake Ontario. FARM-CITY WEEK NOVEMBER 22-28: President John F, Kennedy has designated November 22-28 as National farm-city week. This will mark the ninth annual observance of this event, designed to bring a better understanding of the ties that bind urban and rural America. In his proclamation, the president called attention to the tremendous advantages of agriculture in this county and to the recreational opportunities being made available in rural areas for city dwellers. He pointed out that technology —machinery, hybrids, and chemical for example—has made it possible for only 8 per cent of our labor force to produce a superabundance of food and fiber. Because fewer workers and fewer acres are required to feed and clothe our greatly increased population and meet export and foreign aid requirements, new economic opportunities are urgently needed in rural areas. At the same time, the growing need for more open space and outdoor recreation can be met through new use of land not required for crop production. “Revitalization of rural areas and the development of rural resources for the benefit of all citizens are dependent in large part on a healthy rate of national economic growth and a national understanding,” he said. The president requested that leaders of labor unions, civic associations, business groups, women’s clubs, and all consumers join in this observance, along with farms and other rural people as evidence of t h e interdependence and the strong ties that bind rural and urban citizens. He urged the department of agriculture, the land-great colleges and universities, the cooperative’ extension service, and all appropriate officials of. the government to initiate, and to copperate with national state and local organizations in preparing and carrying our programs for aopropriate observance of national farm-city week. This would include public meetings, discussions, exhabits as well as press, radio, and television features. He emphasized especially the opportunities opening to all citizens through economic development of rural- areas, including new and expanded outdoor recreation enterprises on farms, small watersheds and privately owned woodlands. WOOL GROWERS INCENTIVE PAYMENT YEARS ENDS DECEMBER 31,1963: Growers, who have marketed shorn wool and unshorn lambs since April 1, 1933, are reminded that the 1963 program year ends December 31, 1963 and applications for incentive payments for wool or unshorn lambs sold during the period April 1, 1963 through December 31. 1963 must be filed by January 31, 1964. Adequate records are necessary to make proper applications for payment. The original sales record for lambs sold shall include the name of the buyer, his signature, the name of the seller, the number and liveweight of lambs sold, plus the description “unshorn.” Lambs payments are made only on lambs that have never been shorn, to discourage unusual shearing of lambs before selling. The s’ales records for shorn wool, shall be in the original and include the name of the buyer, his signature, the name of the seller, date of sale, the pounds of wool sokt rate and total proceeds of the sale. Also, the seller will be required to state the number of sheep shorn and the month *horn al Uw. Uuie Uu> application for incentive payment is filed. All applications must be filed at county ASCS offices. Growers, who have, not filed applications and will have no more sales in 1963 are urged to file their applications now. PRICE SUPPORTS FOR !9®e .FEED GRAINS: Supixirt prices for 1964-crop oats and rye were announced today bythe U. S. department of agriculture. The national average will be 65 cents per bushel for oats, grade No. 3, and $1.07 per bushel for rye, grade No. 2. 6oth unchanged from this year's levels. Oats and rye are not included in the 1964. feed grain program, and thus no acreage retirement price-support payment is provided nor is reduction of acreage required for price-support eligibil-

ity. Price support will be carried out, as in previoua yearsj- througb farm and warehouse-stored loans and purchases. Price support will be available from the time of harvest through January 31, 1965. Loans will mature April 30, 1965. Price support levels for oats and rye, as well as for grain sorghum and barley, are based on relative feeding value to corn, which is, 1964 will receive total price support of $1.25 per bushel. 1963 ACP PAYMENTS MADE TO FARMERS: Fifty-four county farmers received $7,738 for ACP practices during the month of October. These payments were made direct to the farmers by the ASCS office. Ulis is the first time payments have been made by the county office under the ACP program. Previously, payments were made by U. S. treasury check to the farmers. By the new method, we will be able to pay the farmer much sooner than in the past. Also, during October a total of $4,992 was paid direct to vendors under the purchase order system, for materials and services, including tile and limestone purchases and installation of tile. Under the purchase order system, the vendor is paid instead of the payments being made to the farmer. The farmer requests a purchase order, at the time he files a request for cost-sharing under the AC program, and selects the vendor he wishes to furnish the materials or services. By using this method, the farmer saves direct out-of-pocket cash, for the entire cost of\ the cost-share practice. THE SAFETY CORNER: ARE YOU??? A silly pedestrian — one who knows enough to walk with the signals and not to cross the streets between intersections, but he continues to violate the rules. He doesn’t seem to realize that safe habits in walking on the streets will be valuable to him. and may save him from death or injury in later years. Or a scrappy pedestrian — has a chip on his shoulder, and takes chances, just daring a car to hit him. Glares at drivers and often makes uncomplimentary remarks to them. He's a taxpayer and has his rights. Or a startled pedestrian — This person starts across a street without making sure it is safe' to do so. and when a car looms up, he is shocked into consciousness and jumps out of the way. Often he escapes, usually due to the good work of the driver. Watch for the pedestrian, who may be crossing the street or highway after d|rk — if he is wearing dark clothing — he cannot be*" seen until the car is practically upon him. PREVENTABLE AND NONPREVENTABLE ACCIDENTS: There are a few drivers who don't seem to understand about preventable and nonpreventable accidents. So, here’s the dope. Calling an accident preventable is based on whether or not the accident could have been prevented or avoided by the driver in ques.tion — not who was primarily responsible or at fault. Hunters beware — another hunter may be there. Four Arrested In Boat Plant Theft _ WARSAW, Ind. (UPD—Police revealed Thursday they have uncovered a ring blamed for the theft of at least $13,000 worth of merchandise from a Warsaw boat plant. Sheriff Sam Holbrook and Kosciusko County and Indiana State Police said four men were jailed and others suspected of implication in removal of boat equipment from the Brunswick Corp. James Michael Hile, 23, assistant shipping supervisor at the plant, and Marcus Bigelow. 45, a mechanic, were among those arrested and jailed. They were charged with grand larceny. Holbrook said the equipment included boat seats, alternators, speedometers,, steering columns and accessories. The company also reported a boat and trailer were missing. Some of the loot, worth about $3,000, was recovered, Holbrook said. Others arrested were Edsil Dillon. 33, and his father, -Frank. 53, charged with receiving stolen goods. Holbrook said the Dillons are from Sacramento. Calif. The sheriff said the ring may extend to othqr truckers, receivers , and employes of the plant. The thefts came to light, he added, ./when a Brunswick .9«WM lced a tained items that did not appear oh the shipping ticket. Holbrook said Hile was accused of boxing merchandise in the shipping department, putting names, on the boXes v but not placing the items on the invoices. Bigelow was accused -of putting the unlisted 1 boxes into various trucks and vehicles to be removed from the plant with authentic shipments. Authorities said a fifth man has been questioned and ■ six others will be interviewed.

Peace-Prosperity Plank Dangerous

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International There would be some formidable chance taking if the Kennedy administration conducts the President’s re -election campaign on the theme of peace-and-prosperity. • - The appearance or the reality of’peace in 1964 will depend very much on the unpredictable Nikita S. Khrushchev. The Soviet Union’s formal promises have proved before this to be all too slender reeds for leaning. The peace part of the Democratic campaign theme will be vulnerable on a day-to-day basis. Some wild words or wild actions by Khrushchev might destroy the idea that peace actually prevails and that President Kennedy should be j aid off for it at the polls. Kennedy, of course, is not a helpless captive of the Russians. The President is a pretty smart operator himself. Discovery of the wrong kind of missiles in Cuba during the 1960 congressional campaign could have wrecked Democratic chances. But Kennedy’s strong action did more than merely to cause the Communists to back down. Kennedy’s actions also proved to be effective vote getters for Democratic congressional candidates. New Opportunity Possible Some hard-nosed Communist maneuver next year might offer Kennedy a splendid opportunity to make some more political hay at the expense of the Republicans. The hazard to Kennedy is that the chips are as lively to fall against as to fall with him in such a situation. If Khrushchev chose the right sabre and rattled it properly at just the right time and the right place, he might prevent Kennedy’s re - election. It was a near thing for the Democrats, in fact, last time. The prosperity plarik of Kennedy’s re - election campaign platform would be equally a political hazard, if not more so. The President is well aware of that. It would not be fair to him to suggest that Kennedy proposed tax reduction legislation merely to bolster 1964 reelection prospects. But the President and his associates have been plugging the bill as a measure intended to enable the United States to avoid a business slump, further unemployment, industrial stagnation and the like. Kennedy was telling the tax cut story to Ohio newspaper editors last week when they were... White House guests for lunch. He said the country would avoid a recession if the tax bill were enacted. If the bill is rejected, Kennedy said, there might be a recession. If it came, this recession would hit in the summer of 1964. It is not necessary to be a practicing politician to understand what a mid - summer recession would do to a President who was campaigning just then for re-election. It would lick him. Focus On Tax Bill So the foundation of Kennedy’s prosperity plank must be laid on a tax bill which is stuck in Congress although likely to' pass in some form next year. Kennedy’s own wordS""¥'en&'cf Hie Urgency with which he needs to get that tax cut through Congress to protect his re-election interests in such states as Ohio. Pennsylvania, Michigan. Illinois and Massachusetts. The President JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES KINGDOM HALL Corner Monroe and Ninth Sunday 3:00 p.m.: “Does God Have a Name?” is the name Os a public Bible lecture to be given by B.

thinks those states would he hit hardest. Tax bill or no tax bill, there are some cracks in Kennedy’s prosperity campaign plank. Unemployment has not responded to what the Democratic President and Democratic Congress have been able to do about it. Some 1960 campaign promises about unemployment remain to be redeemed. The’* jobless and their friends are likely to doubt the validity of 1964 prosperity. And the Republicans will ask embarrassing questions. Civil Rights Demonstrations Bring Arrests By United Press International Civil rights demonstrations brought mass arrests Thursday in two cities — one in the North and one in the South. * Police arrested 82 demonstrators at Chester, Pa., for attempting to prevent students and teachers from entering an elementary school. Fifty state troopers were rushed from nearby Philadelphia to help break up a jeering crowd of about 500 at the police station. The demonstrators were protesting “unsafe and unsanitary” conditions at the predominantly Negro school. A group of 76 persons, including 15 white ministers from the North, was arrested at Williamston, N. C., for staging an anti-segregation demonstration in defiance of a state court idjunction. The ministers, mostly from Massachusetts, had arrived in the eastern North Carolina town to help Negroes battle segregation. At Mobile,’ Ala., further arguments were scheduled today in a federal court hearing on a motion to dismiss an integration order under which two Negroes are attending a high school. School board members testified Thursday that Negro children are intellectually inferior to white children and lower the educational level of schoolwork. The Dallas County grand jury at Selma, Ala., Thursday recessed an investigation of free government transportation furnished Negro leader Martin Luther King Jr., to a civil rights rally. The grand, jury is waiting to see whether a federal court temporary injunction prohibiting the subpoenaing of Justice Department officials in the probe will be made permanent. Elsewhere in the nation: New Orleans: The Orleans Parish grand jury Thursday began an investigation of the Southern Conference Educational Fund. Inc., a southwide integrationist organization. New York: The national director of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), James Farmer, said Thursday njght President Kennedy had lost many Negro votes by softening his civil rights stand. Danvjlle, Va.: The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, was expected to arrive today to assess the city’s racial situation. King had said earlier this fall that Danville was one of the chief targets in the Negro civil rights drive. He said the situation here was similar to Birmingham, Ala. . 4 Auburn, Ala.: Auburn University said Thursday it filed notice of appeal of a federal court order that a Negro graduate student be admitted to the school.
