Since 1949, 60 patients have been helped directly in Adams county through the mother’s march and March of Dimes, the annual campaign to raise funds. Between 50% and 70% of the funds collected locally remain here for direct patient help, the only health agency that gives direct patient aid care. In the past six years, the local group has spent SIO,OOO locally on patient aid care, including help since 1961 for children bom with birth defects. Every volunteer who helps in this great cause, and every person who contributes his money or time can be proud of his part in helping others. The National Foundation uses the funds taken from the county to do research toward prevention and cure of birth defects, mental retardation, and rheumatoid arthritis, in hopes that they can find methods of fighting these crippiers, as they have found methods to fight polio. Rheumatoid arthritis cripples more people than any other chronic disease. It is not, as commonly believed, an affliction of the elderly — each year 42,000 children in the U. S. alone suffer from juvenile forms of arthritis. More than 6V 2 million victims are in the age group that includes prime career and family rearing years. At present there is no cure for arthritis, which makes you hurt so bad all over that you wish you would die, and which slowly cripples you. There are many successful treatments and rehabilitation techniques being developed by March of Dimes funds. Also, the March of Dimes has 69 centers in 51 cities across the U. S. — 44 birth defect centers, including one in Indianapolis —. 25 in arthritis. More are being opened as we make funds available. All of us cannot be great research scientists. All of us cannot be successful doctors in treatment of many diseases. But all of us can contribute to the great discoveries by being generous when the March of Dimes volunteers, in the annual Mothers March, call Tuesday night. Why not leave your porch light on?

A S C S Farm Notes

JANUARY 31 — FINAL DATE TO FILE WOOL APPLICATIONS: Wool producers, who have not filed their applications for incentive payments tor unshorn lambs and shorn wool sold since April 1, 1963 are reminded that January 31 is the final date for filing applications for payments on sales made during the period April 1, 1963 through December 31, 1963. This is different from other years. During the past years the year was from March 1 through March 31 of each year —a twelve month period. For 1963 the period is nine months instead of one year, which is the reason for the January 31 deadline date. The 1964 year will be on a calendar year basis — January 1, 1964 through December 31, 1964. JANUARY 31 — ALSO FINAL DATE FOR PRICE SUPPORT ON SOYBEANS, WHEAT AND OATS: January 31 is the final date for producers to file an application for price support on soybeans, wheat and oats. Price support is available for commodities stored on the farm or stored in an approved warehouse, and may be by loan or purchase agreement Interested producers are urged to file an application as soon as possible to avoid the last minute delay. KEEP LAND IN VEGETATIVE COVER: Farmers who have acreage on which the conservation reserve contract expired at the end of 1963 are tfrged to keep such land in vegetative cover, Cost-sharing assistance for this purpose is available through some practices included in the agricultural conservation program. If this land is in need of limestone — now is a good time to apply it. First of course, it will be necessary to take a soil sample to determine the amount required. Some of the acrage could be converted to new tree plantings or to wildlife conservation areas. It is important to keep formerly retired acreage out ot row and grain crop production. Maintaining that acreage in vegetative cover would be a valuable addition to such efforts as the 1964 feed grain program which seeks to reduce the burdensome supplies of these commodities. Adams county, approximately 1,195 acres was removed from conservation reserve contracts. Nationally, the acreage on which conservation reserve contracts expired at the end of 1963 totals * 6.7 million acres, and an additional 760,000 acres were covered under the 1963 one-year renewal agreements which expired at the same time. 1964 FEED GRAIN SIGN UP TO BEGIN FEBRUARY 10: The sign up period for the 1964 NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Estate No. 5»07 In the Adams Circuit Court of Adams County, Indjana, Notice Is hereby given that Kenneth A. iDoherty was on the 23rd day of Administrator of the estate of Leo Don Doherty, deceased All persons having claims against said estate, whether or not due, must file the same in said court within six months from the date of the first publication of this notice or said claims will be forever barred.

feed grain program will begin February 10 and continue until March 27, This allows a feed producer 7 weeks to sign up to participate in the program. The feed grain program b entirely voluntary — each individual producer will make his own decision about participating in the program. The three feed grains are corn, grain saphums and barley. Any producer on a farm which has a base of any of the three feed grains is eligible to participate in the program. To take part in the feed grain program the farmer will agree to take out of production and devote to an approved conservation use at least 20 per cent of the total feed grain base (includes all of the feed grains grown on the farm). The farmer may divert the acreage of one or more of the feed grains, but his payment will be figured according to the rate applicable to the group diverted. Farmers who participate in the program will be eligible for diversion and price support payments, and for price-support loans on their 1964 production of the three grains. The price-support payments will be made to participants on the farm signed up under the program, whether the feed grain produced in 1964 is fed on the farm, sold, or placed under a price support loan. Two major improvements have been made in the 1964 feed grain program as compared with programs of previous years: (1) As much as 50 per cent of the total feed grain base may be diverted on any farm (this is up from the 1963 maximum of 40 per cent of the feed grain base: (2) The average payment rate per acre for diverting 40 per cent or more of the base will be substantially higher than in previous

years. Feed grain producers are urged to look into the advantages of taking part in the 1964 feed grain program, so that their production plans for 1964 may be clear-cut by the time the program signup opens. About 200 Adams county farmers have called at the county office, this week, to discuss the feed grain program and how it applies to their particular farming operations. FARMS WITHOUT A FEED GRAIN BASE: Operators Or owners of farms for which no feed grain base was established because feed grains were not planted during the base period may apply for a “new farm base.” If the base is approved, the farm will not be eligible for participation under the 1964 program, but would be eligible to participate in 1965. DEFINITION OF CORN ACREAGE FOR 1964: . The definition of corn acreage includes any acreage planted to field com arid any acreage of other corn, ipcluding sweet corn, popcorn and crosses pastured or harvested primarily for livestock or poultry feed. Excluded from the definition of com are: close corn used for green manure, and sweet com and popcorn harvested for human consumption. Also com in excess of the permitted acreage, provided it is destroyed no later than the applicable- date specified for the county (to be announced later) or 15 days after the date of the notice of excess acreage, whichever is later. REVIEW REQUESTS FOR COST SHARING UNDER THE AC PROGRAM: This week, the county committee reviewed 31 requests for costsharing of conservation practices under the agricultural conservation program. Twenty seven of the requests were approved. Regulations and policies prevent the county committee from approving all requests received. Also, the county committee must consider the need for the practices and cannot approve requests in excess of funds allocated for distribution. FARMERS URGED TO FILE REQUESTS EARLY: Farmers who have conservation problems and intend to request cost share assistance are urged to file their requests at an early date — while funds are available for

approvals. We especially urge farmers who received previous payments to come to the county county office to discuss their conservation problems. We may be able to help them. Also, groups- of farmers with a mutual conservation need on more than two farms are urged to check into the possibilities of assistance to solve their problems. SUPPLY OF FEED GRAINS FOR 1963-64: Hie total supply of feed grain for 1963-64 is estimated at 216 million tons on the basis of November, 1963, indications. This is slightly larger than in 1962. The feed grain carryover into 1963-64 was 9 million tons less than a year earlier; but the decrease was more than offset by an increase in 1963 production. The 1963 crop of 153 million tons is second only to the 1960 record, What would have been the production if there had not been a feed grain program? WHO’S WHO ON THE FARM: Who is a farm resident. To be counted in the farm population, you must live in a rural area on a plate of 10 acres or more and sell at least SSO worth of farm products a year. The definition, put into effect by the bureau of the census on 1960 also includes those on farms under 10 acres is they sell at least $250 worth of agricultural goods in a year. FARMLAND TAXES IN THE URBAN FRINGE IGNITE MANY DIFFERENCES OF OPINION: For the past 20 years, farmland taxes have been rising more than 5 per cent a year. The rise has been fastest in - farm areas near growing cities. As suburbs encroach on farmland, the farmer’s taxes often increase as his land becomes more valuable. But the big trouble is: the higher value may not be realized for years, the taxes are payable today. Meanwhile, the operator probably isn't making any more money from his farm. Many farmers regard the higher taxes that go with the advancing urban fringe as just another burden on their already meager incomes. Often they are forced to sell their land to an investor who can afford the heavy holding costs involved while property is “ripening.” The farmer who manages to hold on to his land throughout this period is the fortunate exception. Various solutions to the problem are being tried. In Maryland and Florida, for example, assessors rate farmland at its agricultural value alone, ignoring any value the land might have for urban development. Connecticut recently passed a law giving local communities power to designate farmland, forests and open spaces as conservation lands. Owners then pay lower taxes because the land is assessed solely on its undeveloped value and not on its potential. Proponents of special tax treatment for farmland argue that this policy will protect the farmer from an unfair tax burden, and that it will encourage preservation of open spaces in urban areas. Critics say low taxes on farmland tend to erode the tax structure and undermine the local property tax, which supplies about nine-tenths of all local revenue. THE SAFETY CORNER: DON’T FORGET: 1. to keep a window open enough to get some fresh air, so that carbon monoxide gas doesn’t slip up on you. 2. To drive at a speed govened by the condition of the road, rather than the posted speed limit. 3. to watch the driver ahead of you — he may possibly stop without signaling. 4. to keep a safe driving and stopping distance behind the car ahead of you. 5. to watch for pedestrians. We all recognize that from our jobs and from our life, an accident can take a little off the “trade-in” value. — Sometimes it takes, all the value! WATCH OUT FOR THAT FREEZY SKID STUFF

To Keep Watch On Inflationary Wages, Prices WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Johnson administration is assigning a group of watchdogs on the economy to be on the alert for inflationary wage or price increases in U.S. industries. A staff from the Commerce and Labor Departments familiar with particular industries is being organized to spot impending price or wage hikes before they become apparent to the public. Forewarned- of a potential attack on economic stability, the President can then act as he sees fit. President Johnson already has warned that a new wageprice spiral would damage the expansion the proposed sll.l billidn tax cut is intended to stimulate. In his economic report to Congress last week, Johnson said he already was concerned about a recent series of price increases, especially in manufactured goods. He said he would rely on the “sense of responsibility” of business and labor leaders to hold price and wage increases within the limits of rising productivity. Nevertheless, Johnson said he would keep a close watch on increases by means of an early warning system that would report to his Council of Economic Advisers. “I shall not hesitate,” Johnson said, “to draw public attention to major actions by either business or labor that flout the public interest in non-inflation-ary wage and price standards.” Which industries would be observed was not revealed. However, council Chairman Walter W. Heller has indicated special attention would be given to the automotive industry this year because manufacturers and the United Auto Workers are to negotiate a new contract. Sources said the first two Johnson might Use to prevent damaging price-wage increases to the economy are “moral suasion” and “goodnatured* discussion” with labor or business leaders. If these fail, the President might employ tactics similar to those President Kennedy called on to force the steel industry to revoke its price increases announced in April, 1962.
