Fann Economy Is Puzzled By Budget

By GAYLORD P. GODWIN United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI > —President Johnson’s 1965 budget has posed a 20th century riddle of feast and famine which has increasingly puzzled the American farm economy. Johnson asked Congress to allow the Bureau of Reclamation to spend $319.8 million for projects designed to reclaim land, conserve water for irrigation and to create power. The water for irrigation would be used to grow farm crops. Johnson also asked Congress to provide about $l.B billion to be used in “price support and related programs. A good portion of the price support would be used in buying surpluses of feed grains, wheat, and cotton. This situation of spending money with one hand to provide more land on which to produce more commodities, while the other hand shells out money for crops that are in surplus, poses the question: Deuble-Barreled Question “Why proceed with federal reclamation developments when we have national surpluses of some farm crops and the Agri-' culture Department is supporting the price of farm commodities and promoting the diversion of cropland to other uses?’ You can get a lot of answers. Johnson gave this answer, in the text of the budget message: “We must manage and develop our natural resources wisely, to meet the demands of ad increasing population and growing economy. Even within the limits of a restrictive budgetary policy, public investments must be made in resource conservation and development and in research to enable us to use more effectively our water, land, minerals, forests, and other resources... “The budget provides for continuing construction of going projects which will supply water to our cities, industries, and farms: abate water pollution and improve water quality; control destructive floods; produce electric power; improve

navigation; and provide recreational opportunities.. At another point in the message, Johnson said: “The longrun upward trend in agricultural productivity has contributed heavily to the nation's economic growth. But it is also a factor contributing to the current unsatisfactory incomes of many of our farmers and the continued high budgetary costs of our farm programs. Provides Food Assistance “While too large a part of our productive resources is still devoted to agriculture, we have derived important advantages from the resulting excess farm production by using agricultural commodities to raise the level of living of low - income people in our own nation and to provide needed food assistance to people of other nations.’ The Reclamation Bureau contends that the programs of the Agriculture Department and of reclamation are not in conflict —“ they are complementary.’ The bureau also argues that the reclamation program does not contribute significantly to or aggravate crop surpluses. The secretary of agriculture also holds this view. When the omnibus farm bill was under congressional consideration in 1962 the bureau prepared a brochure in support of the pending legislation. At that time, the commodity Credit Corp, as of Aug. 31, 1962, had under loan or in inventory a total of $6.8 billion in commodities. , (The total a year later had changed somewhat, but the percentages of commodity participation remained roughly the same). Os the total investment, in August, ,1962, roughly 38 per cent was 7 feed grains (corn, barley, grain sorghums, and oats); 36 per cent wheat; 12 per cent cotton; and 4.5 per cent tobacco. Missed Cotton Predietton The bureau said the significant surplus problem related to feed grains and wheat. At that time, the bureau calculated that cotton would be in “re-

asonable supply because of a cutback in acreage. This calculation went awry because of an exceptionally good growing season in 1963 and a record yield of 524 pounds of lint per acre —SB pounds above the previous record. Since the bureau made its pitch in behalf of the farm act of 1962, cotton has jumped considerably in the total value of the CCC investment./* Practically all cotton produced in California, Arizona, and New Mexico is grown on irrigated land. Reclamation advocates say this cotton is longer staple than that grown in the traditional cotton belt, and therefore of premium quality which attracts a premium price. Feed grains produced on reclamation projects constructed since the 1902 passage of the reclamation act amount to 1-2 per cent of U.S. production of the four feed grains. .The amount estimated to be under support on Aug. 31, 1962, was one-seventh of 1 per cent of the U.S. production. , Provides Winter Base ’ The bureau said “this negligible share is not the underlying cause nor does it create or significantly intensify the surplus problem. These grains provide a part of the winter feed base for better utilization of the vast western range. Shipping costs of grain from the central corn belt to this western market is uneconomic. As for wheat, the bureau said the breadgrain grown on reclamation projects was only 1.5 per cent of U.S. wheat production and the amount that went under price support was only 0.28 per cent of total output. William I. Palmer, assistant commissioner of reclamation, said irrigated acreage has contributed a needed flexibility to western agriculture. He said irrigated crops also provide a feed base for the western livestock industry, and reclamation farms yield a large portion of the citrus crop, fruits, nuts, and winter vegetables. Many of the irrigation developments ■in the west provide water for municipal purposes and for hydroelectric power. In some instances, the storage of water for human and industrial needs has nearly overshadowed the irrigation aspects of reclamation development. Agriculture Secretary Orville T. Freeman said “crops grown on reclaimed irrigated land are not primarily crops that are seriously in surplus ... it is unsound to suggest that,- 4h«*- turrent inbalances which gxist in some crops could be corrected by squeezing off water resource developments in one section of the country.” An Agriculture Department expert on surplus crops and land uses could see little point in discussing the probability of reducing the nation’s reclamation program because of surplus production in other areas. He said: “We have not yet disproved the Malthusian theory that population growth will outrun the food supply. If the world’s supply of food was divided equally among the world population, all of us. • probably, would be a little hungry.” Freed On Bond On Embezzlement Charge Harold Crews, a resident of Bluffton, has been released from the Adams county jail after posting a bond of SSOO. Crews was apprehended by Bluffton police Friday evening on a warrent for embezzlement from Adams county, and later returned to this county by local authorities. Russell Hisenbiller, of Beery Distributors, Inc., of Craigville, signed an affidavit against Crews, ■charging him with embezzlement. Crews, an employe of Beery Distributors, allegedly collected a check amounting to $75 for the company, and then cashed it in a Berne tavern.

Adolph Rupp Nears Victory Total Os 700 By JOE GERGEN UPI Sports Writer Adolph Rupp, who has performed before countless crowds in the course of his 34 years at Kentucky, is about to create one of his own at the pinnacle of the basketball coaches* manmade mountain. The Baron of the Bluegrass is on the threshold of becoming the third college mentor to reach the plateau of 700 victories — and he may horn in on the company of two tonight. Only Ed Diddle of Western Kentucky (756) and retired Phog Allen of Kansas (771), under whom Rupp played his college ball two — score years ago, outrank the Baron in total victories. Rupp has captured 699 games going into tonight's Southeastern Conference struggle at Georgia, which upset Tennessee, 79-67, Saturday night. The third-ranked Wildcats slipped past obstacle No. 699 on Rupp’s timetable when they edged Florida, 77-72, for a 15-2 season mark and a first-place tie in the SEC. But Kentucky was forced for the third straight game to employ the 1-3-1 zone defense — something considered blasphemous in the Baron’s first 33 years at Lexington. Commodores On Road __ Vanderbilt, (No. 5), stunned by Auburn, 81-63, is at Alabama tonight for another important SEC match. The Commodores, although 14-2 overall, have suffered both defeats in conference play and have yet to win an SEC game away from home. Michigan, the No. 2 team in the United Press International ratings, seeks to eliminuate defending champion Ohio State from the Big - Ten race tonight when the two clubs tangle at Columbus. The Wolverines, who ran their winning streak to eight and their record to 154 with an easy 95-79 rout of Michigan State Saturday, have already thrashed the Buckeyes once this season. The biggest upset of the weekend pared the list of major college unbeaten teams to one — UCLA. DePaul, which had won its first 13 games of the season, bowed to Louisville, 83-79, despite Jim Murphys ’'2s points. Meanwhile, UCLA had no trouble erdshing outclassed Santa Barbara branch of the University of California, 87-59, for victory No. 17. The toprated Bruins had whipped the same small college team Friday night for an easy but unimpressive double. Davidson Bounces Back Davidson, (No. 4), which suffered its first loss Wednesday night, rang up a new school scoring record in routing VMI, 129-91, and hang on to its firstplace lead in the Southern Conference. 'Center Fred Hetzel, whocommitted the goal-tending violation in the last second of play which sent the Wildcats down to their first defeat, tallied 36 against the Kaydets. Wichita, sixth-ranked Nationally and the top team in the Missouri Valley Conference, smashed Marquette, 100-63, in a non-conference game. Nate Bowman scored 35 points, one more than All-America candidate Dave Stallworth, as the Shockers improved their mark to 16-3. Duke (No. 8), all alone at the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference, breezed past Navy, 121-65.

Six Oldtime Stars In Hall Os Fame NEW YORK UPI) — Baseball's Hall of Fame now numbers exactly 100 men—but that figure may change before the end of the week. The total membership hit the century mark Sunday when six oldtime stars, including former spitball pitchers Burleigh Grimse and Urban (Red) Faber, were named to the games' honor roll. Others selected by a special committee which considered only players retired for at least 20 years were Miller Huggins, the fabled manager of the New York Yankees in the “Roaring Twenties,’ slugging outfielder Heinie Manush and two men from pre-1900 days, Tim Keefe and John Montgomery Ward. Members of the Baseball Writers Association who have voting jurisdiction over players active within the last two decades, failed to elect a man this year on the first ballot and are now engaged in a second ballot. Luke Appling and Red Ruffing were only a few votes short on the first ballot, so either former star could wind up in the hall when the second vote is - compiled, probably later this week. Os the six newest members of the Hall of Fame, only three are alive. Grimes, 70, lives in Trenton, Mo.; Faber, 75, in Chicago, and Manush, 62, in Sarasota, Fla. They will be inducted formally before the annual Hall of Fame exhibition game at Cooperstown, N.Y., July 27. Colder Weather Is Forecast In State By United Press International The threat of snow in Indiana tonight and Tuesday was dissolved or at least delayed today. Earlier forecasts hinting that a blanket of white would cover the state were changed to call for mostly fair weather through Tuesday with a chance of rain or snow in a warming trend Wednesday. Colder temperatures were' expected tonight with the mercury dropping as low as 8 to 18 above in the northern third, 17 to 25 in the southern third, and around 20 in the central portion. However, highs Tuesday will range from the low 40s to 50. Tsie five-day outlook called for temperatures averaging 2 to 6 degrees above normal central and south and 4 to 8 above normal north. Precipitation this week will total about one-tenth of an inch north in rain or snow Wednesday and again Thursday or Friday. It will total about onefourth to one-half inch elsewhere with light rain or snow about the middle of the week. High temperatures Saturday ranged from 37 at South Bend to 56 at Evansville. Lows Sunday ranged from 22 at Lafayette to 28 at South Bend. Highe Sunday ranged from 33 at Fort Wayne to 56 at Evansville, and overnight lows this morning from 22 at Indianapolis to 29 at Evansville. Highs today will range from 28 to 50. Decatur Residence Sale Is Announced Pauline Haugk, local broker, today announced the sale of the home of Mrs. Lovina J. Bixler. Mr. and Mrs. James L. Geels, who reside at 131 S. Third St., purchased the home of Mrs. Bixler, which is located at 417 S. First St. STAGE MASSIVE (Continued from Page One) facto segregation sparked protests where plans were laid to picket the city Board of Education offices today. Chapel Hill, N.C.: About 250 Negroes staged a silent march and rally here Sunday night to —pretest—restaurant segregation. A short time later 39 persons were arrested during a sit-in. Atlanta: James Forman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) said his foUbwers plan to continue their J demonstrations against segregated restaurants despite a moratorium on protests agreed t\ by some leaders in The Negro community. Tuskegee. Ala-: Doors to Suskegee High School were closed today to 12 Negro students who entered the previously all-white school last fall under a court order. The state Board of Education ordered the school closed on the ground that it was too expensive to operate. for only 12 students. The entire white student body has boycotted the school and is attending classes in neighboring communities. Milwaukee, Wis.: Civil rights groups plan demonstrations today to protest de facto segregation in city schools. ’-- t . - ■ ' ***«• Trade in a good town — Decatur
