The Youth Center We had some young ladies stop in to ask us this past week why the Decatur youth and community center was called a youth center, when the seventh and eight grade girls were not allowed to attend the high school dances! The name “youth center” is not meant to imply, we are sure, that ALL youth get to use the building at ALL hours. Surely it is reasonable to assume that youths 18 and under will not be using the building from, say 2 a.m. until 4 a.m. The law requires them to be home during those hours. The Decatur center is open for high-school-age young people for dances somewhat later than normal; some authorities aren’t particularly happy over this, but it seems to be working out reasonably well. Educational and social authorities pretty well agree that sophomores, juniors and seniors should be allowed more social freedom than the younger pupils. Many newer school units are now divided so that junior high school Includes the 7th9th grades, and senior high includes just sophomores. juniors and seniors. These people, who have the sum total of hundreds of thousands of personal studies, think that it is better for the younger people to get their social experiences with other young people more their own age. After all, life is an educational process jmd what is socially desirable is that our young people develop into good citizens, capable of running their own lives in an orderly, Democratic fashion — without getting into trouble, leaning on their parents or society, able to support themselves and their family, etc. Surely no one would suggest that the name “youth center” was inappropriate because first graders are not allowed there at the same hours as seventh and eighth graders, would they ?

ASCS Farm Notes

ASCS FARM NOTES IMM FEED GRAIN SIGNUP TO START FEBRUARY !•: The 1964 feed grain program signup period will start Monday, February 10, and continue through March 27. Applications to participate in the program may be filed in the county office from Mondays through Fridays at any time between the hours of 7:45 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Notices of feed grain bases, rates and yields were mailed to feed grain producers January 17. Producers who call at the office to sign their application are urged to bring the notice with them. This will enable the office personnel to process the application in less time. THE 1944 PROGRAM B BETTER THAN PREVIOUS PROGRAMS: The 1964 feed grain program has two major improvements than the 1961, 62 and 63 programs. They are: (1) a producer may divert as much as 50 per cent of his feed grain base acreage and receive a diversion payment computed on the high rate for the entire 50 per cent. (2) those who divert 40 percent or more of their base acreage will also receive diversion payments at the high rate for the acres diverted. The maximum acreage diversion will continue to be 25 acres, if the 25 acres is more than 50 per cent of the base. For example, if the base is 30 acres, the maximum to be diverted would be 25 acres. Two rates of diversion payment are offered, but the higher rate should apply to more acres under the 1964 program. The minimum rate is again based upon one- fifth of the county’s total price-support rate: the maximum or higher rate is based on onehalf of the support rate. If the operator signs up to divert 40 per cent or more of his feed grain base, the higher rate will apply to all acreage diverted. If less than 40 per cent is diverted, the minimum rate will apply to 20 per cent of toe acreage diverted and the higher rate to toe acreage between 20 and 40 per cent. Producers participating in the program will be eligible for diversion and price-suport payments, and for price-support loans on their entire 1964 production of the three feed grains (com. grain sorphum and barley) on the farm which is signed up in toe program. - ± ... The price support payment will be made to all participants in the program who plant feed grains for harvest, and they will be made regardless of the use made of the grain. The producer may sell the grain of feed it, and still receive the payment. PRODUCERS MUST COMPLY WITH FEED GRAIN BASES ON OTHER FARMS: Feed grain producers, who have an interest in the feed grains on more than one farm, are required to plant within their bases on all farms, to be eligible to receive diversion and price support payments on one farm. Ulis does not mean that a producer must sign up on all farms—it simply means that the base on other farms cannot be exceeded. CONSERVING BASE ACREAGE SHALL BE MAINTAINED: Regulations require that toe conserving base acreage as established for a farm must be maintained for a producer to be eligible to receive payments under the feed grain program. Producers having questions regarding the conserving base for their farm are urged to call at toe county office for additional information before making a final decision to not participate in the 1964 program. 1964 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM NOT TIED IN WITH . 1964 WHEAT ALLOTMENTS: Several producers have made inquires at the county office relative to the connection between the feed grain program and the wheat alloments.

Any producer with • feed grain base is eligible to participate in the program, regardless of the number of'acres of wheat seeded tor harvest in 1964. ADVANCE PAYMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST: At the time the producer files an application to participate in the program he may also request an advance payment. The advanced payment will be one-half of the estimated total diversion payment and he will receive it within a few days after filing his application. The balance of the diversion payment and the price support payment will be paid after September 1. PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM ASSURES THE FARMER OF INCOME: A farmer is assured of a substantial income from the diverted acres regardless of drought, flood, disease, hail or crop disease. ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT FOR 1964 — PREMEASUREMENT SERVICE: For the first time, premeasurement service is available, and this will be an advantage to farmers who participate in the feed grain program. By using this service, the producer will know before crop planting toe acreage in the plots for diversion and for corn, if any. To receive this service, a producer must file a request in the county office and pay the fee required ($8 per farm visit and one plot measurement, plus $2 for each additional plot measurement) . Fields or plots must be designated at the time the request is filed. We suggest that a rough sketch of the farm be brought to toe office at the time the request is filed. Premeasurement will save dissatisfaction at the time performance is checked, and also save money — no corn to be destroyed — diversion acreage exact. Farmers will be assured of diversion and price support payments insofar as acreage is concerned. After premeasurement is requested in toe county office, a reporter will visit the farm and set stakes to identify the plot measured. "Blink it over — the cost isn’t much considering this — if there is one acre of excess corn and you wish to adjust toe acreage, the cost is $7.50 for a farm visit to measure adjusted acreage — and the cost of planting the acre of corn is also lost —..and another crop, such as have been produced on the acreage, and if you didn’t adjust the com the entire diversion payment and price support payment has been lost. Ask about this service, when filing an application to participate in the feed grain program. COUNTY COMMITTEE REVIEWS COSTSHARE REQUESTS (ACP): The county committee reviewed 24 requests for cost-sharing of conservation practices, this week. 18 requests were approved. In /accordance with pojicy and regulations, it was necessary to disapprove 6 requests. FILE REQUESTS FOR COSTSHARE ASSISTANCE EARLY: Farmers are urged to study their conservation problems and file a request early while funds are available. Funds available for allocation are somewhat lower for 1964 than in 1963. IMPORTANCE OF WATERSHED PROTECTION: Everyone in the community benefits from a watershed protection program. Farmers benefit from improved land management which protects and improves productive farmland. They get better crops at lower cost and earn more income per acre. Folks in town benefit from a stable farm industry. Merchants sell more. People buy more. Bus-

iness la better tor everyone when farmers are prosperous Upstream watershed protection keeps silt ouf at lakes and reservoirs .and helps assure better and cleaner water for homes and industry. _ Every taxpayer benefits. Hooding that damages land, crops livestock, buildings, roads or bridges results in smaller tax revenues and increases the necessary public expenditures for repair and rehabilitation or replacement Floods may endanger health and safety by disrupting public utility services or making city drinking water unsafe. LAND TREATMENT IS THE KEY: Carrying out needed soil, water and woodland conservation practices on individual farms and ranches is the backbone of any watershed program. Structures to store water or prevent flooding are only partly effective unless basic conservation practices are applied to the farm and ranch lands above them. The first principle is recognised by the federal government. Organized watershed associations cannot qualify for federal assistance until at least 50 per cent of the basic land treatment is accomplished or planned for. SHAKING THE COSTS: Farmland conservation can be done only by the people who control the land. But it is essential to all Americans that needed conservation measures be applied. Economists estimate that, by 1975, 220 million United States citizens will require a third more agricultural production. And we’re running short of water. Our water requirements and use are now 220 billion gallons a day for domestic needs, irrigation, and industrial use. In 25 years we expect that use to double. We can’t afford to waste it. Our valuable farmland and water resources must be conserved by land-treatment m e assures. All conservation work costs money. Some conservation practices are very expensive. They drain the farmer’s income without affording immediate returns on the investment. Many farmers would not be able to apply all the conservation practices needed in the public interest without financial aid. ASSISTANCE FOR CONSERVATION FARMERS: The United State department of agriculture offers five kinds of assistance to conservation farmers: Research, education, technical assistance, credit and costsharing. All these services interrelated. If any one is needed but not available, the conservation work will not be done. The agricultural research service and state agricultural experiment stations are the primary research agencies: The extension services is t h e primary educational agency of the department. » Technical assistance to individual farmers is provided through the soil conservation service. The forest service provides technical assistance in tree planting and timber management through cooperation with state foresters and their farm foresters. tj Loans for soil and water conservation practices are offered through the Farmers Home Administration. The agricultural conservation program (ACP) is the Department’s principal program for sharing conservation costs with individual farmers and ranchers. Similar cost-sharing is offered under Great Plains conservation program contracts. DO YOU KNOW THESE ACP FACTS* —All farmers are eligible to use the ACP program. There is no distinction between big farmers, little farmers, owners or tenants. —ACP cost-sharing is offered for practices which farmers themselves would not carry out using only their own resources. ACP is a democratic program

NEW WHEAT STANDARDS BENEFIT GROWERS: Tbe farmer who grows quality wheat should find his prices protected as a result of the changes in official U. 8. wheat standards, the department of agriculture has stated. In announcing the new standards for grades at wheat on January 22, the department called them "an important step to increase dollar sales at U. 8. wheat in overseas markets." They were adopted only after through study, conferences with wheat producer and industry representatives, and public hearings throughout the country. The new standards become effective May 1. Besides protecting the prices for quality wheat, the new standards are expected to (1) improve the competitive position of U. S. wheat in world markets — where competition will intensify in the future; (2) help combat increasingly restrictvie trade policies in some areas, particularly the common market; (8) enable the commodity credit corporation to better guarantee the quality of grain owned by the public; and (4) provide substantial taxpayer savings to the export subsidy program. In general, USDA explained, the new standards — based on smaller ranges of tolerance for grades — will mean less dirt, foreign matter and dockage in American wheat than in the past. Quality factors of weight, soundness and cleanliness can be more readily and more precisely measured today than in the past. Current standards have too great a tolerance within grades to provide a reliable basis for judging soundness and cleanliness. During a transitional period following May 1, grain inspectors will — on request. — show the grade of wheat under the old as well as the new standards. NEW USE FOR SOYBEANS: A new use for soybeans has been developed which will aid child nutrition, in tire developing countries, the USDA announced recently. . Full-fat soybeans flour (40 per cent protein, 20 per cent fat) can be used alone in such beverages as soy milk and baby’s formulas, or with cereal products in macaroni, noodles, baked goods, and soups. The flour is made from dehulled soybeans with relatively simple, mobile equipment. THE SAFETY CORNER: Stop-look-listen at all railroad crossings (including crossings with flasher lights). In Indiana, a train is given the right-of-way, and, of course, is big enough to demand it. Yet, every year the right of a moving train to go first is challenged by over 600 automobiles! There was not a case in which the train sustained more damage than the car. Watch out for trains. In one-third of all motor vehicletrain collisions the motor vehicle hits the train contrary to what many people think. Some of these are the result of overdriving headlights. Be sure you can stop within the distance your headlights can reveal hazard. Be a little afraid — not only for your own safety — but also a little afraid for the safety of everyone on the highway. Every year nearly 8,000 drivers run off the roadway and crash into stationary objects including cars, trees, fence posts, utility poles, fire hydrants, etc. USE COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION WHEN YOU DRIVE: Thousands of hours of safety first cannot avert the tragedy of one careless moment!

You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist The library is ope of the most important facilities in the school building. It is a valuable aid to all areas of the educational programliie school librarian is as important as the library itself. Her dose cooperation with the classroom teacher is often a key. to solving many learning problems. Reading, research, and study methods are closely related to library skills. These are essential to success in school. The case of Robert Crane, a fifth grade student, is extreme but an appropriate example of successful library techniques. Robert had been a problem student since entering kindergarten. He had poo?’ achievement in all areas, especially,, in reading. He was reading on a second grade level as measured by tests and class response. His behavior presented a clue to Robert’s problem. He seemed to resent questions.- He usually refused to answer. He didn’t seem to trust anybody. <i Interest In Dogs Robert’s one interest seemed to. be dogs. He always drew dogs in art periods. He was often seen looking at pictures of dogs in the encyclopedia and other books. He often wandered into the library, but did not read the books he took out. In developing a plan for helping Robert, a conference was held with the librarian. Within the class the teacher would be concerned with gaining Robert’s trust and friendship. There would be particular care to fulfill every promise and to avoid embarrassing him in any way. The librarian would make the

same efforts. She would not pressure him, but would carefully guide him to books on dogs which were simple to read. 'Within the school year Robert gained three grade levels in reading achievement. The growth progressed in this manner. Robert first took books on dogs and looked at the pictures. He then started to read the words. Sobn he began to take books on other animalsIn about four months he started to move into more difficult books on adventure. This case had amazing results. It serves to show the kind of success which is possible when a good library and librarian are available. Parente Can Help Parents can be particularly helpful,, by encouraging library usagd. Visit the local publid library. Help the child become familiar with the layout. Show him where he can find books related to his needs and particular interests. There may be a fiction section suited to his age. The librarian will be glad to assist. Try to make arrangements so that your child can get to the library regularly. Give him every opportunity to use if in connection with his homework. Your attitude is very important. Don’t attempt to pressure the child into using the library. Show interest in his work. Suggest how he can obtain more and better information. His success will do the rest. A library program is profitable to all students from the brightest to the slowest. It is the most valuable supplementary service in the school.
