Seven Counties Fail To File School Plans INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Seven Indiana counties failed to file a school reorganization plan or obtain an extension of the legal deadline for such filing, but no immediate action is likely by the Indiana School Reorganization Commission. A summary was completed Thursday which shows that Dubois, Fulton, Grant, Hendricks, Howard, Newton and Steuben did not file county committee plans with the state office, apparently because no county comjnittees exist in these counties. However, some school reorganization has been done in two of the counties, even without a committee, by the local residents. Die report shows that both Hendricks and Newton have gone as far as they can go for' the present on reorganization. Legally, the state commission could go into the remaining five counties and draw up a plan for presentation to the local voters, but such action is not anticipated for months because the part-time commission has its hands full with hearings on plans prepared by other counties. The commission has scheduled hearings or will schedule them soon for the following counties who have their plans already on file with the state office: Bartholomew, Benton, Boone, Carroll, Crawford, Daviess, Delaware, Gibson, Harrison Huntingtoh, Johnson, Marshall, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Ohio, Orange, Parke, Pike, Scott, Spencer, and Warren. In addition, plans have been approved by the state commission and are awaiting a vote in Clinton, Owen and Sullivan. The Noble County plan was approved by the state but a portion of it was rejected by the voters and further plans must be drafted. The Martin County plan also has state approval but is involved in litigation. The following counties are reported by the commission office as having obtained extensions from the Jan. 15 deadline in order to complete plans: Allen, Clark, Clay, Dearborn, Elkhart, Fayette, Franklin, Greene, Hamilton, Hancock, Henry, Jackson, Jasper, Jay, Jefferson, Kosciusko. Lake, LaPorte. Lawrence, Madison. Marion, Perry, Porter, Pulaski, Ripley, Rush, Shelby, Starke, Tipton, Washington, .White and Whitley. Twenty-four counties are reported as having their plans completed. They are: Adams, Blackford, Cass, Decatur, DeKalb, Floyd, Fountain, Jennings, Knox, Miami, Randolph, St. Joseph, Switzerland, Tippecanoe, Union, Vanderburgh, Vermillion, Vigo, Wabash, Warrick,’ Wayne and Wells.

ASCS Farm Notes

1964 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM NOTICES MAILED: Notice? of base acreages, yields, paymerit rates and conserving acreage bases were mailed to feed grain producers January 17. Producers having questions relative to the notice received should contact the county office. Also, any producer, who receives a notice for a farm in which be no longer has an interest is asked to return the notice to the county office and include the name of the person who is either the operator or owner of the farm at the present time, so that a notice may be sent to the current interested persons. The base acreage was determined by using the average of feed grains produced on the farm in 1959-60. Payment rates for the average Adams county farm (68 bushel yield) are: the minimum 417.14 and the additional rate is $42 84 per acre. For the average farm participating in the program and producing some corn there is an additional payment of $10.20 per acre of corn produced. SIGN-UP TO START FEBRUARY 10: Sign-up for the 1964 feed grain program wiU start February 10 and end March 27. Feed grain producers are urged to study their notices very carefully, and consider participating in the 1964 feed grain program when making plans for their 1964 farming opera dons. The 1964 program offers advantages to producers who participate in the program, such as: provides higher than average pay ments; eligibility for price support; assures an income from diverted acreage and provides immediate cash benefits to those who request an advance payment. OPTIONAL METHODS OF PARTICIPATION: As in prior years, the program is entirely voluntary and the farmer decides for himself, the number .Os acres he desires to divert from the production of feed grains. The minimum diversion is 20 per cent of the farm base a If only 20 per cent is diverted, the diversion payment will be at the minimum rate and the producer will be eligible for the price support payment on feed grains produced. The producer must keep in mind that the number of acres diverted plus feed grains' produced cannot the base established for the farm. If the producer elects to divert between 40 and 50 per cent of his base, he will receive the higher rate for the entire diversion. Also, if the farm base is 25 acres or less, the entire base may be diverted and payment will be at the higher rate. — PREMEASUREMENT SERVICE OFFERED FOR 1964: For the first time, premeasurement service is offered to Adams county farmers. This service includes 1964 feed grains, diverted acreage, wheat for harvest in 1964 and other land use acreages. The» cost of premeasurements is paid by the farmer who requests the service at the rate of $8 per farm visit which includes premeasurement of the first plot or set of measurements: and $2 for each additional plot for which a set of measurements is required, if applied for prior to the initial visit. L Opening and closing dates for accepting requests for premeasurement service will be announced later. All requests must be filed in the cpunty ASCS office where the farm' is listed. DEADLINE NEARS FOR FILING APPLICATIONS FOR INCENTIVE PAYMENTS—WOOL PROGRAM: Wool and lamb producers are reminded that January 31 is the final date for filing applications for inceptive payments for shorn wool and unshorn lambs sold between April 1, 1963 and January 1, 1964.

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO APPLY FOR PRICE SUPPORT ON WHEAT, OATS AND SOYBEANS: ■ Producers of oats, wheatand “'soybeanshave Until January 31 to place these crops under pricesupport loans or purchase agreements. Interested producers are urged to file an application in the county office as soon as possible in order that the application may be .s.pEemssed and completed by the deadline date. ... . Producers in need of “ready cash” and do not wish to sell their grain are urged to take advantage of the price support available. Price support rates are as follows: soybeans—s2.2s; wheat—sl.B4. and oats, 69 cents per bu;hel » ' Loans are available -on commodities stored on the farm or in an approved warehouse. REQUESTS FOR COST-SHAR-ING UNDER THE 1964 ACP PROGRAM: Farmers who intend to file a request for cost-sharing of a conservation practice in 1964, are urged to file such requests at an early date, even though the practice will, not be started until a later date. ’ ■> This will assure the farmer of

due consideration while funds are available. We especially urge farmers, who have not received cost-share assistance in prior years to study their conservation needs, to call at the county office and file a request for assistance. Cost-sharing is available to every farmer who has a need for one of the approved conservation practices. The ACP is a farmer-govern-ment partnership—it is the program which shares with farmers the cost of needed conservation practices, and pays about 50 per cent of the total cost ot the practice. Adams county has received an allocation of $55,000 to be used for cost-sharing on approved practices. The county committee carefully reviews all requests for costsharing and approves as many as possible in keeping with regulations and policies. OUR AGRICULTURAL ATTACHE: Selling U. S. farm products abroad is a $5-billion-a-year business. To represent this country in this big export enterprise, the foreign agricultural service of the department of agriculture maintains agricultural attaches or officers at 61 foreign posts. These are located in countries around the world, from El Salvador to Ethiopia and from Canada to the Congo. The attache is “attached to” an embassy and the officer to a consulate general. Aiding these men are a total of 30 assistant attaches: 33 American secretaries; and at individual posts,' a staff of local agricultural assistants ranging up to 10 in number, depending on the workload. Each attache and members of his staff spend a good share of their time seeking markets for American farm products. They also have a heavy schedule of (agricultural reporting and analysis. They collaborate with other embassy officers in negotiations with foreign officials. They assist official visitors and trader and cooperate with their diplomatic colleagues to reduce trade barriers. All these activities revolve around these basic duties: <1) To represent U.S. agriculture abroad. (2) Expand foreign outlets for Americtn farm products. (3) Report on foreign production, use and marketing of agricultural commodities including competition faced by U. S. farm exports. The attaches’ work varies considerably depending on the economic climate of this country’s interest in the areas covered. Despite this variation, the attaches usually have similar backgrounds. This means coming from a rural area where he has had farm expedience and that he is a graduate of a land-grant college or university with one or more degrees in agriculture or economics. To this has been added experience in price analysis, farm management, marketing of agricultural products, statistics and other domestic agricultural activities. Equipped with such a background, today’s agricultural attache is a valuable member of the foreign service team of the United States. SECRETARY FREEMAN SAYS: “This is the rural areas development program—All the resources and agencies of the department are contributing to this effort. It emphasizes the use, not idling, of land; the development of communities, not their stagnation and decline. Its aim is a rural renaissance through a host of new opportunities in rural areas . . . ranging from on-farm recreation for pay to new industry . . . from improved housing to modern community water systems . . . from new ways .to utilize what the land produces to mure adtequate water systems . . . from new ways to utilize what the land produces to more adequate supplies of water needed for industrial development.

share of our growing economy, but also for the affection of its own sons and daughters." RECREATION AND WATER SUPPLY: An upsurge of interest in outdoor recreation and rural economic development has stimulated attention to multipurpose watershed projects. Experience is proving that ponds, reservoirs, and other .conservation measures on farms and in small watershed projects have many recreational potentials. The original federal legislation providing for on-farm assistance and for local small-watershed projects has been amended to include fish and wildlife development. New water supplies created by small-watershed projects have had unforeseen effects in attracting new industry to rural communities and stimulating economic development. Both recreation and water supply developments are making substantial contributions to rural area development throughout the United States. WHAT IS A WATERSHED? All the land that drains to a particular stream, lake or other body of water makes up its watershed. The small-watershed is actually in flood prevention and water management. Each watershed includes all the land extending all the way from the streambanks to the surrounding ridge line—all the farmland, woodland, and grassland and also the towns and built-up areas. Government assistance is available for establishing watersheds. THE SAFETY CORNER: HOW TO DRIVE—AND STAY ALIVE: The only way to drive and sur-. vive is to drive defensively. Driving defensively is, basically, driving so as to stay out of the way of bad drivers. It means making a deliberate effort to use the laws of the road and the law of averages to your own You know, for example, that tail-gating-(driving too close to the car in front of you—is defying the law of averages. Sooner or later, you—and the guy in front of you, very probably—will run into trouble. Similarily, it also pays to keep a mirror-eye on the car behind you. Don’t let another car tail-gide you. Other defensive driving -'tips: Don’t drive with a chip on your shoulder. Don’t try to do to some other guy what he has done to you. Don’t let yourself be influenced by what other drivers want you to do.. Be the captain of your own ship; concentrate on using your own good judgment to escape the results of the bad judgment of other drivers. And here’s a suggestion: Since high speed accidents are so deadly, it’s not a bad idea to practice—with great care—hitting the shoulder of a road, so you’ll know how it feels. In a tight pinch almost anything is preferable to a head-on collision, and knowing how to'get onto and off a shoulder safely could some day save your car as well as your life. MAKE EVERY TRIP A TEST DRIVE — HELP YOURSELF STAY ALIVE.
