By Carrier, g cents per week. Single copies. 1 cents 'On “ Literary” Merit The editorial writer on the Celina, 0., Daily Standard has hit the nail on the head again with a very appropriate editorial on bookbanning, entitled “A Most Diligent Enemy." It seems that Coumbus, O-, capital of the state, is the scene of another attempt to repeal the 20th century — as happened in Indianapolis a few years ago when a lady school board member advocated burning copies of Robin Hood because he was a Communist (stealing from the rich to give to the poor?)! The Columbus schools and a private book store decided that four books were “too offensive” for high school students, and condemned Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, Walter Van Tilburg Clark’s “Oxbow Incident”, J. D. Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye” and George Orwell’s "1984.” “The chief thing to remember,” the editorial points out, “in attempting to decide literary _ merit is that people are different, that what enthralls one reader may offend another, and that no work of genuine and lasting value has ever been written without being attacked as unworthy or unfair by some reader somewhere along the way.” Every writer will agree with that! We read little fiction, ourselves, but we certainly defend the right of others to read it. While we earnestly try to get our friends to read serious books, we don’t feel that others should be banned. Nor do we feel that book should be banned — just because it is offensive to a particular group, if it was written in good taste otherwise, and not obviously to inflame prejudice. Just because “Huckleberry Finn” uses the word “Nigger”, which we do not use, which is offensive to our ears, and in » poor taste, we still cannot agree with banning it. Books that attempt to portray life must occasionally use such terms — just as books about newspapermen frequently include general descriptions that are not always true or flattering. Don’t let the description of an individual turn you against a whole group —4 race, religion, or sect. You will find good and bad in all groups — even your own church! I We also enjoyed Orwell’s “1984.” Orwell, a disenchanted leftist who fought in the Spanish civil war (his “Homage tb Catalonia” is excellent) felt that life in 1948 was tending toward what he described as “1984” — three big world blocks, all immoral, with an elite of conformists, etc. It was obviously exaggerated, but it - made you think. If you could understand it, it would help, and if you couldn’t it would seem only a wierd b°°k- ' Editorial written by— —— Dick Heller

A S C S Farm Notes

ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE FEED CHAIN PROGRAMS: The dramatic increase in feed grain productive capacity in the last decade has created great problems of overproduction. of market prices and of government 008 to* By 1961. the feed grain situation was nearing a production crisis. Most of it concerned corn, of which we had 2 billion bushels in stock. Grain sorphum supplies amounted to 1 and % years* supply. Total feed grain stocks were 85 million tons. We were nearing the danger point where these massive supplies would break out and flood the market Storage costs for feed grains had reached 464 million dollars a year. So the emergency feed grain bill was passed by the congress early in 1961, the first piece of legislation signed by the new administration. It reduced feed grain stocks by about 13 million tons or approximately 475 million bushels. The downward trend in grain prices was stopped and the threat posed to livestock growers by vast quantities of cheap feed was eased. So successful was this legislation, it has been modified only slightly and it has been continued through 1965. Each of the three years, 19611963, around 1.2 million feed grain producers signed up to participate. In 1961, they diverted 25.2 million acres, 28.2 million acres, and in 1963, they signed to divert 25.7 million acres. Although there was a bumper crop of corn in 1963, feed grain stocks are expected to decline further because of increased utilization. The programs for 1961, 1962 and 1963 have reduced the feed grain carryover from 85 million tons to less than 60 million tons. —- For the 1963 crop year, there were 2% million acres less cropland diverted than there were in 1962. In addition, corn crop yields soared in 1963. As of December 1, 1963, the indicated yield was 67.3 bushels per acre, as compared with 64.2 bushels in 1962. Corn production for 1963 is indicated at 4,081 million bushels, a new U. S. record. The program provisions for 1964 are improved, and should result in participation by cooperating farmers that will bring the nation’s feed grain -carryover nearer the goal of 45 to 50 million tons. Had there been no feed grain, program, it is easy to figure out what would have happened in 1963: Production of corn, grain sorphums, find barley would have been around 800 million bushels larger if the harvested acreage of the three grains had been the same as in 1959-60 — before the first feed grain program. 1964 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM IS VOLUNTARY: The same as feed grain programs, 1961 through 1963, the 1964 program is entirely voluntary. The feed grain producer decides for himself, whether to sign up for participation in the program. Producers on farms having a feed grain base will have the opportunity to sign up in the program during the period February 10 through March 27. In the meantime, the county office staff will answer any questions producers may have. The grower who diverts as many acres as he signs up to divert and carries out other provisions of the program will earn a payment for acreage diversion and if corn is produced on the participating farm, the producer becomes eligible for the feed grain price-support loan and payment. (Corn may be produced to the extent of the difference between the number of acres to be diverted and the farm base). Payments vary by feed grain crops — so the diversion payment will be based on the kind of crop acreage diverted (corn, grain sorghum or barley), the price support payment will be based on the kind of g rain planted. A minimum of 20 per cent of

the feed base must be diverted to be eligible for payments. The producer decides the number of acres he wishes to divert at the time he signs up to participate in the program. The number of acres to be diverted cannot be changed after the final sign-up date, which is March 27. If only 20 per cent is to be diverted, the entire payment will be at the minimum rate. A higher rate will apply where more than the 20 per cent is diverted. If at least 40 per cent of the base is to be diverted, the entire payment will be at the high rate. The acreage diverted from production of feed grains shall be devoted to an approved conservation use — not idle land nor land containing only weeds — the diverted acreage is in addition to the conservation-use (hay and pasture) base acreage for the farm. — Payments will average higher this year, and the maximum diversion is higher. A producer may sign-up to divert as much as 50 per cent of his base or 25 acres, whichever is the greater. A new provision in the 1964 program limits the diversion payments to no more than 20-per cent of the fair market value of the land diverted in 1964. Acreage diverted should be the same type of cropland as would have been planted to feed grains. DON’T FORGET COST—SHARING UNDER THE AC PROGRAM: Now is a good time to call at the county office and file your requests for cost-share assistance on conservation needs for your farm, and don’t forget, the request must be filed before the conservation practice is started. Conservation of the land is important to everyone — Each year, requests for costshare assistance greatly exceed the amount of funds allocated to Adams county. So, file your requests as early as possible. The county committee very carefully reviews each request and approves as many as possible in accordance with regulations and funds available. PRICE SUPPORT STILL AVAILABLE ON 1963 CORN: Participants of the 1963 feed grain program, who produced corn on the participating farm, are eligible to apply for price support on such corn. Applications must be filed at the counify office — loans, are available oh corn stored on the farm or in an approved warehouse. Price support is available until May 31, 1964. CIVIL DEFENSE STUDY , SHOWS 16-DAY SUPPLY OF FOOD IN WHOLESALE STOCKS’ How much food do we have? This is one of the first questions the American public would ask in any national emergency. Civil defense planners already have most of the answers. Recent surveys of national food stocks made for civil defense officials show that: —Almost half of us have enough food stored at home to feed the family 14 days or more, the rest somewhat less than two weeks’ supply. —Retail stores have food on hand to last the public 15% days. —Wholesale warehouses have stocks for about 16 days. Still to come ’is a survey of the food available in restaurants, hotels and other away-from-home eating places. According to the wholesale study, newest in the series, warehouse stocks are not very evenly distributed around the country. The sparsely populated Pacific Northwest and Alaska have almost a 24-day supply of, food per person. The more heav- * ily populated East Central states have food in warehouses for 14 days. Most food in wholesale warehouses are types that can be kept for long periods without refrigeration. Over 84 per cent of total stocks, 13% days’ supply, is made up of canned bottled, dried and packaged foods. Fresh foods on hand would last only about two. days, frozen less than

a half day. A disproportionate amount of fresh and frozen food is on hand in New England and the Pacific Northwest. New England with 17 per cent of total wholesale food stocks, has over 26 per cent of the total fresh supply. The Pacific Northwest, with only 5 per cent of total inventories, has more than 19 'per cent of the frozen stocks. The study shows enough beverages in warehouses to last about 4 days. Beverages are counted in terms of calories under food inventories as well as ounces under nonconcentrated fluids. Hie figures assume we would each get 2,000 calories a day for food and 32 ounces of liquid. THE NATIONAL CIVIL DEFENSE PROGRAM: Intensive studies of enemy attack capabilities and the effect Os direct attack with modern weapons and sabotage make it clear that a nationwide program of civil defense prepaitedness is essential to national survival, and that fallout protection is the best method of saving mote lives at tiie least cost in event of a nuclear attack. Also, fallout shelters can be made available in the shortest time. The national civil defense program is oriented primarily to one objective — protection of every American against radioactive fallout. The priority elements in the program include; 1. Shelters equipped and privisioned to furnish fallout protection for every citizen. 2. Warning and communication methods to alert the nation to attack and to provide emergency information. 3. A system for detecting and reporting the intensity of radioactive fallout, and 4. Organization and training in civil defense techniques with emphasis on shelter management and shelter living. ORVILLE L. FREEMAN SAYS: --- ----- —- Secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Freeman says: “The history of mankind and the records of his wars clearly demonstrate that food is a prime weapon, a prime target, and the prime element of survival. “We in this nation often take agricultural abundance for granted. And we take for granted, too,, the highly complex and efficient food processing storage and distribution mechanisms by which the food industry converts raw farm products into the finest foods available in the world, and puts them in our markets, stores, and eating places with such regularity. “We can be sure that the food facilities and equipment of the

Alan Ladd's Death Ruled Accidental PALM SPRINGS, Crtif. (UPI) — The death of film star Alan Ladd was confirmed Monday to have been accidental, attributed to a combination of a “high level of alcohol” anti three drugs acting on his nervous system. Coroner James T. Bird said findings of laboratory and microscopic tests showed that death resulted from "cerebral edema (an excess bf fluid in the brain) due to the effect of chemical depressants on the nervous system.” Earlier reports that the 50-year-old actor — found dead in his Palm Springs, Calif., home last Wednesday — had suffered a heart attack were ruled out.
