You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UFI Education BpecUfet Current events should be used ( to supplement the school curri- , culum regardless of grade level —kindergarten through college. A teacher can make excellent use of current events by involving them in appropriate lessons. A study of Africa would be unrealistic without including the many recent political changes. Science is moving forward so rapidly that it is essential to know to recent discoveries. Textbooks are valuable as far as they go. But they cannot •- be kept fully up to date and it is not economically sound for the schools or the publishers to replace them on a yearly basis. For example, there are not many texts in use which make mention of the Berlin, wall, and it will take several years before text books will include the recent assassination of President Kennedy. This does not make the books useless. It only points out the need for using additional materials to keep information up to date.

materials available, depending upon the level of the students. In the elementary grades, teachers should start introducing the use of regular materials such, as newspapers, television, etc. TTie secondary schools and colleges depend upon these and all other available adult materials including pamphlets, reports of lectures, and rorums. There has been an increasing use of newspapers and television in the classrooms. Reports of the recent space flights were used by teachers in many ways. These events stimulated a great deal of interest at all levels. The coverage by the mass media was particularly good for education. Students learned much from the diagrams, explanations. and discussion which were appropriately designed for the public. There were implications for every level and subjdFt. One of the major aims of education is to develop effective citizens. A study of current events helps to create an awareness and interest in the problems facing local communities, states, nations, and the world. The growth of the ability to analyze these problems and recognize their implications is the responsibility of the schools. As a student analyzes present happenings, he becomes aware of the existing directions and needs of the various fields. His understanding of the past helps him to understand the present and participate in the future. Every teacher must be aware of new discoveries and events. These are involved in the program so that a student will have a proper view of his learning in relation to current events.

ASCS Farm Notes

FARM PROGRAMS FOR 1964: Farm programs are here to stay — and will be bigger and • better in 1964. The No. 1 program for January 1964. is the agricultural conservation program the program which assists the farmer carry out needed conservation practices on his farm. * The sign-up started January 2, 1964, and will continue as long as funds are available for approval. Farmers are reminded that a “request for cost-sharing’’ must be signed in the county office before a conservation practice is started, ,to be eligible for costshare payments. Practices must be carried out in accordance with specifications, which are mailed to each farmer with his notiep of approval. This is a very important item to remember. Farmers are urged to study their conservation needs for the entire year and determine which practices will be completed in 1964. before the request for costsharing is filled in the county office only one request for the same practice will be approved this year. For the practice, installation of tile drainage, the farmer must know the number of feet of tile, the size of tile, whether a corrigated metal pipe will be needed and the estimated cost of the pipe, at the time he signs his request. For limestone application, a Purdue soil test is required. Such soil test must have been received since January 1. 1963. Requests for cost-sharing should be filed at least six weeks before the practice is to be started to allow ample time to process the request, county committee approval and the soil conservation service to check the need for the practice. Farmers, who had received approvals for the completion of conservation practices in 1963 and did not start the practices, are Urged to come to the office and sign another request, if they intend to do the practice in 1964. Remember, if no report of a practice was submitted to the county office prior to January 1, 1964, all approvals have been cancelled. The agricultural conservation program is important to both rural and urban people. It is a means through which all people share the cost of conserving essential resources, such as productive soil, adquate water and well-managed woodland. This program increases the rate of application of research, education, technical, credit, and other services of the department of agriculture in actual accomplishment of essential conservation work bn the land. Through the agricultural conservation program, the federal government shares with farmers the cost of carrying out approved soil-building, soil and water conservation practices, included related wildlife practeies in accordance with required specifications. A list of approved practices for 1964 has been mailed to all Adams county farmers. The rate of payments is available at the county office. Most of the rates are about 50 per cent .of the cost. The purchase order method is again available in 1964; 7 By this method, the farmer selects the vendor of his choice and we pay the cost-share direct to the vendor. This*tfbethod saves the farmer direct out-of-pocket cash. Farmer®-with conservation problems are urged to call at the county office for information. Remember — practices started before a request ,is signed — will be ineligible . for cost-share payments. ■ ■■• - - JANUARY 31, 1964 IS AN IMPORTANT DATE: January 31, 1964 is the final date to file applications for payment for the sale of shorn wool and unshorn lambs sold during --— I .

the period April 1, 1963 through December 31, 1963. January 31, 1964 te also the final date for applying for price support on 1963 soybeans an oats. FEBRUARY 1944 — THE 1964 FEED GRAIN BIGN--UP WILL START: The sign-up period for participation in the 1964 feed grain program will start February 10, 1964, and will end March 27, 1964. Now is a good time to plan farming operations and be sure to include diverted acreage for the 1964 feed grain program. Farm bases will remain the same, except in cases where mathematical errors were found; yields and rates will be somewhat higher. Notices of bases, yields and rates will be mailed in January. We have successful feed grain programs in 1961, 1962 and 1963, but where still remains a surplus of feed grains. So, we urge you to include tne feed grain program in your 1964 plans. \ Basically the program is the same as in 1963: — it is a voluntary program; it covers corn, grain sorghum and barley in a combined base; and participating farmers will receive payments for diverting acreage, along with supplemental price support payments; and will qualify for price support on corn produced on the farm which is in the program. Improvements are: the maximum acreage to be diverted has been increased from 40 per cent to 50 per cent of the base; or 25 acres, whichever is the larger. For farms on which diversion is 40 per cent of more, the entire payment will be at the higher rate. To participate in the program, a minimum of 20 per cent of the base must be diverted. By diverting, the minimum, and planting .com, the corn would be eligible for price support. Established yields were based i s on a 2-year average — 1969-60 for previous programs; this year yields are based on a 4-year average — 1959 through 1962. A producer with an interest in more than one farm may limit his participation only one farm however, he must plant within the feed grain base on all other farms. i PRICE SUPPORT FOR 1964: Crop-loan operation to be speed1 ed up — eligible farmers should be able to obtain their loans more 1 promptly under the « 1964 Price Support program. New operating > procedures for commodities pro- • duced in 1964 are intended to sim- - .plify the program and make it more effective and less costly. (This does not‘apply to comi modifies produced in 1963) Under the new procedure, price support may be requested by filing an application and paying a nominal fee. which will not be refundable. The ASCS county office representative and the producer will then jointly confirm the exsitence and apparent condition of the farm-stored commodity. Together they can develop a quantity ! estimate to which a reasonable ’ safety factor will be applied. t On warehouse storage loans, as in the past, the producer will put -up his warehouse receipt as col5 lateral. The price-support loan 3 rate then will be based on the set- ; tlement value of the quality of- ( sered. The quantity eligible will ' be that shown on the receipt. The " warehouse must, be approved by a warehouse grain agreement. . ■ ’ _ Disbursements wUI be made by the ASCS county office using a ’ loan draft designed so a bank ' may hold it as. an interest-bear-ing certificate. If the producer redeems his crop 1 either farm or warehouse-storedi, no service will apply. If the producer « cloes not redeem his crop, CCC d will accept 'all of the eligible commodity at delivery time, and set)l tlement will be based on its grade, g quality, and quantity.

BRAND NEW FOR 1964: Premeasurement —will be available to farmers participating in the 1964 feed grain program. This too, is a voluntary phase of the program — the participating farmer must file a request and pay a nominal fee (to be determined later) at the county office for this service. . i Details of this service will pb announced later. SERVICES OF USDA ARE MOBILIZED FOR RURAL AREA DEVELOPMENT: Department of agriculture resources are committed to the nationwide rural areas development effort, to support state and area organizations in their programs to solve rural problems on an area-wide basis. Nationally — The department’s office of rural areas development coordinates all USDA assistance to advance the RAD program. Technical help, research credit, longrange planning for soil and water use, conservation cost-sharing, education and other serveies of the department are available for the nationwide RAD effort. The department’s rural development board brings together representative of 14 agencies to assure a meshing of department services. The president appointed anassistant secretary of agriculture for rural development and conservation, an action further coordinating the department’s program for rural areas development. A national advisory committee on RAD works closely with the department. This committee includes representatives of every ■rural interest in the nation. The department also enlists the help of the departments of Commerce, labor', and health, education and welfare; of the small business administration, housing and home finance administration, the 'farm credit administration, and others. The department works with national organizations — farm, labor, education, business, church, finance and credit and other similar groups. IN STATE AND AREAS In the field, specialists of the department of agriculture and state agencies are members of technical action panels, co-chair-ed by state and local representatives of Farmers Home Administration, soil conservation service and the agricultural stabilization and conservation service. Here the services of the department are packaged for an area-by-area, community -by - community approach to the specific, problems of the people and the use of their qwn resources. Members of the technical panels work with local voluntary groups. They help them plan projects. They;’ help to find outside capital. They act, as reJ quested, as coordinators between local people, who seek aid, and the government agencies that may have the facilities to help.

DOES ADAMS COUNTY HAVE NEED FOR A RAD PROGRAM? FARMERS ARE VICTIMS: - Today, farm prices are lower in relation to other prices than during the first 20 years of the 1900's. But low farm prices do not assure lower total farm production. Low prices often lead farmers to increase their output stay in business. Farmers have been the victims of their own amazing production record. Farm income has not kept pace with incomes in other segments of our economy. Also, the cost to the Government of carrying huge surplus stocks is a burden. And more of our agricultural land resources are being used to produce food and fiber that is needed. This creates a problem of conserving our resources and of using them wisely. PARTICIPATION IN THE 1964 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM WILL HELP REDUCE SURPLUSES: FARM PROGRAMS ARE NEEDED! Individual farmers., operating 3.7 'million farms can’ neither set prices nor make desirable adjustments in production, as industry can. Then, too, the farfner’s production and income are affected by the uncertainties of weather, over which he has no control. Even if farmers, did have the power to do these things, it would not be good public policy for them to do it alone. Our nation must have adequate food and fiber. Any error must be on the side of abundance. Your government has accepted responsibility to help farmers manage this abundance for the good of all the people. This government responsibility has been expressed by the congress in passing laws that made farm program' available to farmers. Your farmer committee system administers these programs — and these programs bear directly on our national prosperity. THE SAFETY CORNER: A new year!!! — but the same old safe driving habits are still in style. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL MEANS?? Your answer is, of course, I know— but did you ever stop and think that even if the light is geen — someone may be coming from the opposite direction, not have their turn signal on and turn left in front of you — or that the car in front of you may not have a turn signal on and is making a left turn — or he may be making a right turn with no signal. Do you always, make sure the intersection is cleared of pedestrian traffic? ) All these ceuld-'cause fatal accidents —'nelp avoid them by watching traffic, even though “you” have the green light, or

right-of-way. Turn signals are important — they should be turned on at the proper time and checked to see if they have turned off automatically _ sometimes they do not. Don’t blow your horn unnecessarily at an intersection — the. driver ahead of you usually has a reason for not ( starting immediately — the horn may distract him. We like this definition of safety — writteri by Francis Fisher, bin .site supervisor, Cuming county, Nebraska: S is for SKILL know what to do It’s a job just for you. A is for ACCIDENTS you avoid each day Remember it’s safety that keeps you alive and on your way. F is for FALLS that can break, btimp and bruise. Falls can be precented "by the rules you choose. E,.is for ELECTRICITY in stormy skies or wires It can cause bad burns and start big fires. T is for TRAFFIC on highway, road or street Where walkers must use their eyes and ears before their feet. Y is for YESTERDAY when thousands have died Millions were injured and all sadly cried.
