A Youth Near Death Last week the Kendallville News-Sun published a front-page story of nationwide interest — the story of a Kendallville! high school junior who nearly drank himself to death at the age of 17!. The boy was brought into city court and told the court that he could remember drinking nearly a fifth of gin, almost straight down. And that’s about alll he could remember of last Saturday night and early Sunday morning. A state trooper had found the boy being walked up and down the cemetery road near Kendallville. The trooper tried to question the boy, and he became violently ill. The state policeman had seen nothing like it before, in years of experience, and hurried him to the hospital. ' He was In critical condition when he arrived at the hospital. It was two days before the youth responded. In court, he told the judge that he had learned his lesson — he would never touch alcohol again. He almost didn’t get a chance to learn from that lesson. The state trooper got out a medical formula, showing the average human body’s tolerance for alcohol, taking into consideration the boy’s weight, amount consumed, and time in which consumed. About one more swallow, and that boy would never have lived. This happened in neighboring Kendallville. But incidents like it happen frequently, even in Decatur. Experience isn’t the best teacher. The wisest youth is the one who can learn from the experience of others. It’s the stupid youth who says, “oh, yes, it happened to him — but it won’t happen to me!” This is the time of year when the rejuvenation of spring takes place, and when thoughts of graduation buoy up the spirits of every high school student. Don’t let them buoy you up too far remember, just one mistake can cause your death, or a serious accident that might take the lives of your friends. ; Life doesn’t end with high school graduation, no matter what you think now! So don’t let it end there! You have many, many happy years ahead, if you can learn how to get along with others, and have a good time. Proving that you’re the “cock of the walk” isn’t manly — it’s childish. You’ll soon learn that hard work every day, courteousness, and friendliness, and a good word for everyone mean far more than all the animal-like tricks so common in high school. A good way to terminate your life, and all the fun of living, is by trying to out-drink some other kid. Alcohol is a poison when taken in any very large quantities. You can see the rotting hulks of those who thought that “one more” wouldn’t hurt. You can laugh at them, as others do. Do you want to be laughed at? If so, drink too much. That’s a good way to be the town joke. Editorial written by »iek Hefler

ASCS Farm Notes

By: Mary J. Howard. Off. M*r. MORE ACREAGE TO BE DIVERTED IN 1964: Adams county farmers have signed up to divert more acreage from production of feed grains in 1964 than in 1963. Payments for diversion, under the 1964 feed grain program, are higher than in previous years. Computed payments for 1964 diverted acreage is $364,873 for 8,551 acres, an average of $42.67 per acre as compared to payments of $225,439 for 8,319 acres, an average of $30.70 per acre in 1963. In addition to payments for diverting acreage, producers will receive a price support payment of 15 cents per bushel on the established yield for their farm, if corn is produced as permitted on such farms. Producers who signed up to divert their entire acreage are not permitted to plant corn, barley or grain sorghums on the farm for harvest in 1964. To be eligible to receive payments is required to divert the acreage as listed on his application and intention to participate. Failure to divert the entire number of acreage will result in no payments for the farm. The goal of the feed grain programs is to bring production into line with demand, to reduce excessive stocks, and to cut government costs. Farmers help achieve this goal by voluntarily diverting feed grain acreage to conserving uses. 1963 WOOL INCENTIVE PAYMENT SET AT 27.8%: Shorn wool payments for the 1963 marketing year will amount to 27.8 per cent of the dollar returns each producer received from the sale of shorn wool during the period April 1, 1963 through December 31, 1963. The rate of payment was determined recently by the department of agriculture as the percentage necessary to bring the average wool price of 48.5 cents per pound under the national wool program. Producers, who filed aplications for payments before January 31, 1964, will receive an incentive payment of 27.80 for every SIOO received from the sale of shorn wool during the ninth year of the program. This compares with a payment of S3O per SIOO of marketings for the 1962 marketing year. The payment rate on sales of unshorn live lambs to conpensate for the wool on them will be 54 cents per hundredweight. This payment on sales of live lambs that have never been shorn is based on the shorn wool payment and is designed to discourage un-< usual shearing of lambs before marketing. The 1963 payment rate compares with 57 Cents per hundredweight for the 1962 marketing year. A productton fund deduction rate of one cent per pound of shorn wool sold will be deducted from shorn wool payments and five cents per hundredweight will de deducted from unshorn lamb payments. Payments will be mailed to producers the latter part of April. PRICE-SUPPORT RESEAL PROGRAM SET FOR FIVE GRAINS: Lenard C. Pound, chairman, agricultural stabilization and conservation state committee, recently announced a broad reseal program under which farmers may continue price-support loans and earn storage payments on farmstored grains after 1964 loan maturity dates. They will also be able to convert purchase agreements on the 1963-crop farm-stor-ed grains to reeal loans. Grains for which reseal farmstored loans will be available, include 1963 crops of corn and oats currently under farm-stored loans or purchase agreements. In addition, loans on 1960-61-62 crop corn now under reseal may be extended for another year. Farmers who wish to reseal their farm-stored grains. under, loan should apply at their local ASCS office before the loan maturity date. Maturity date for oats is April 30, 1964, and July®, 31, 1964 for corn. As in the past, reseal will not be offered on any 1963 crops put under price-support loans .as-a result of relaxed eligiprovisions due to specified abnormal crop or weather conditions. Storage payments are made to producers on grains under reseal. Reseal storage .payments for the 1964 program will be unchanged from those for 1963 — 14 cents per bushel on ■ corn and 10 cents per bushel for oats, - ‘ . —■ •

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

If a farmer delivers his resealed grain before the 1965 maturity date, his storage payment will be prorated. Storage payments will be limited to the period of storage in all instances where the grain is delivered or redeemed earlier than the reseal maturity date. As in the past, reseal loans are subCredit Coropratton prior to the ject to call by the Commodity maturity date. Reseal will not z be offered on 1959-crop corn. As a normal practice in the reseal operation, the older crops are periodically dropped from the program to lessen the possibilities of deterioration and put the quantities into a position for movement into various outlets before loss or deterioration occurs. Chairman Pound pointed out that the reseal program encourages the holding of stocks of grains on the farm, thus keeping them in production areas where feed grains especially are primarily consumed. It also is important to have such decentralized storage available because of disaster of defense reasons. The 1964 reseal program storage recognizes the changing storage situation in light of substantial storage expansion in recent years and the lessening need for continued expansion as a result of the better balance being achieved between grain production and needs. Farm storage will continue to be an effective tool to aid in the orderly marketing of grain. FARM FACILITY STORAGE LOANS AVAILABLE: Producers, who need additional storage, are urged to call at county ASCS offices for information relating to the farm storage facility loan program. Loans will be made to eligible borrowers for the purchase and erection of eligible facilities needed for on-the-farm storage of one or more of the price support commodities. An eligible borrower is any person who produces one or more price support commodities on the farm for which the loan application is made; is producing corn on a farm participating in the 1964 feed grain program; is eligible for price support on wheat, if the farm allotment is over 15 acres, (the farm must not have excess wheat above the allotment, if over 15 acres); and a need is established for the proposed facility for the storage of price support commodities. Farm storage facilities may be either moveable or immovable types. * Applications for farm storage loans must be filed in the county office before the facility is purchased. * All applications are reviewed and approved, if eligible, by the county committee. WHEAT AND FLOUR EXPORT PROGRAM: The United States department of agriculture has announced provisions for the present wheat and flour export program for use in the event U. S. domestic wheat prices fall below world market prices. Under existing legislation the prices farmers will receive for the 1964 crop of wheat will be considerably lower than for 1963. Currently, wheat prices quoted on" commodity exchanges for delivery in July, range from 40 to 65 cents per bushel below last year's levels. Prices at these levels would make U. S. wheat cheaper than prevailing world market prices. The provisions announced today will enable the United States to obtain the benefits and fulfill its obligations under the international wheat agreement in the event new legislation is not in effect on the 1964 crop. If the legislation now pending in congress is adopted, these provisions would be discontinued as soon as the new legislation went into effect. The action announced today provides that payments made under the wheat and flour export program will be conditioned on exporters agreeing thatif domestic prices fall below world price levels, they would refund to the Commodity Credit Corporation, a portion of previously made export "payments. Under these circumstances,exporters- would sell wheat to importers at levels higher than domestic market prices. Any refunds would reflect the margin by which domestic prices are below world prices. These refund rates would be determined and anounced in a manner similar to that followed currently for wheat and flour export

payment rates. Provision is also made for the sale for export of CCC-owned wheat at prices in line with world prices in instances where Individual exporters’ conditional payment accounts may be insufficient to cover the refund or may be exhausted. A conditional payment account will be kept for each importer. The new provisions would require licensing of all exports of wheat and flour during a period when any domestic wheat price might be below world prices. A licensing requirement would be that exporters’ selling prices be at world levels. This would apply to U. S. exports including those under the international wheat agreement as well as to dollar exports outside the agreement and to exports under various government programs such as public law 480, title I, foreign currency and title IV credit sales. On exports under barter transactions, wheat is acquired directly from the CCC inventory. This wheat would be prices at competitive world prices. USDA officiate stated that 1964— crop price support under existing legislation would be around $1.25 per bushel. On March 23, Kansas City July wheat futures which reflect 1964 crop wheat prices closed at $1.57-% per bushel. These prices are near or below world price levels and after allowing for freight costs to these market centers, reflect prices at the farm of not much above the $1.25 per bushel support for the coming crop. In contrast, export payments during the current 1963-64 wheat marketing year have been averaging about 65 cents per bushel. These payments have enabled exporters to buy U. S. wheat at prices that were above the world price and sell it abroad. Actual export sales have already been made for export from new crop deliveries without an export payment. This is the first time in more than 10 years that U. S. bread has been sold for export without an export payment. INDUSTRY-GOVERNMENT BEEF MERCHANDISING DRIVE SET: Secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Freeman, has announced an intensified industry - government drive to call consumer attention to abundant supplies Os high quality beef now available. The drive is one of a number of actions being taken by the U. S. department of agriculture to encourage consumption of the heavy supplies of beef resulting from the large of fed cattle now being marketed. Officials of the livestock industry have reported that a major industry-supported merchandising and promotion campaign for beef is already underway. Agencies of the department will help augment industry efforts to increase consumption of beef while plentiful supplies represent an especially good buy for consumers. “Maintenanceof a healthy and solvent beef industry, as- is the case for all elements of the agricultural economy, is in the best interests of consumers a n d thq nation,” the secretary has’pbinted put. ‘‘Continued abundances of any important food commodity require adequate returns to producers to help assure sustained production.” DID YOU KNOW THAT? The estimated value of futures trading regulated by the commodity exchange authority on the Chicago Board of Trade in 1963 was SSB billion; and the value of stock trading in the New York Stock Exchange was $54 billion?

price quotations in your daily newspaper are ordinary "futures’* prices rather than "cash” prices? This is because futures prices registered on commodity exchanges are so widely used as base prices in selling these commodities at terminal market and country points.

DISTRICT MEETING OF USDA DEFENSE BOARDS: Twenty county USDA defgpse boards attended a district meeting at Wabash recently. County USDA defense boards consist of the ASCS county office manager, the county extension agent, soil conservation service technician and the Farmers’ Home Administration supervisor. State USDA defense boards consist of representatives erf agencies of the U. S. department of agricultural marketing service, Agricultural research, agricultural stabilization and conservation service, cooperative extension service, and Farmers Home Administration. Each agency has been assigned special duties in the event of a nuclear attack, or natural disaster. County USDA defense boards are not civil defense boards, nor do they take the place of local defense boards. However, they will work in conjunction with civil defense boards, in a time of disaster. Attending the meeting from Adams county were: Mrs. Mary Howard, ASCS; Ernest Lesiuk, county agent and Donald A. Norquest, FHA. CIVIL DEFENSE: Do you know — who your civil defense director is? Do you know — the locations of shelters in Adams county? Do you know — Conelrad is no longer the radio station for information about nuclear attacks? Do you know — that radiation affects livestock as well as humans? Do you have a plan for survival in case of a nuclear attack? Do you have a two-week supply of food and water for your family and your livestock? What is, civil defense?—lt is survival! FOOD MANAGEMENT IN A NATIONAL EMERGENCY: In two World Wars in this century, Americas farmers and the food industry were eminently successful in producing, processing, and distributing the food needed by civilians, the military, and our allies. Government’s role was to guide, coordinate and assist farmers and the food industry in that task. In the global conflict of 1941-45, especially, this teamwork enabled the United States to feed great areas of the world while providing adequate supplies for its armed forces and for use at home. The same Industry-government teamwork would assure the continuity of food "processing and distribution so necessary to survival and victory should another war occur. Today’s weapons of war are suddent and devastating. There would likely be little or no time to gear up for emergency operations at even the astounding pace of World War 11. From “normal” to full mobilization for nuclear attack could be a matter of hours. Or minutes. The only time available for’planning continuing supply of food to the nation is now. Much has been done—but much, much

OBJECTIVES OF FOOD PLANNING: Emergency food planning is geared to these basic objectives: 1. Conservation and orderly use *if surviving food supplies. 2. Processing of raw food stocks into the kind and form necessary for consumption or to reduce perishability. 3. Giving all possible assistance in maintaining the distribution of food to the surviving population, to meet military requirements, and those of our allies. THE SAFETY CORNER: Sudden stops: Young fawns learn to stand very quietly in the forest, not moving ars much as an eyelash, when danger approaches. It’s a lucky thing for the deer population that young fawns are not taught to stand still near highways in Indiana. One year alone in Indiana, a total of 7,233 automobiles crashed into the rear of other cars — cars that were completely motionless. And another 4,430 cars ranned the rear of other autos while both were moving. Prevent this type of accident. Travel far enough behind to avoid a crash if the car in front stops suddenly. Avoid being thrown from the car by the sudden stop — fasten your seat belts.
