Industry Heins Youth Businesses in Adams county, especially the larger manufacturers, are vitally interested in better educated young people, because of the need for skilled or easily trainable workers. Also, companies realize that a better - educated youth earns more, and then buys more, as well as acheiving more, the educated adopt more readily to new ideas and methods; they appreciate and buy new products and services. Better educated young people are accepting more responsibility for representative government. Many factories let off workers for such jobs as county council, city council, and many board meetings. People educated to do things for themselves require fewer public services of the dole type; they have more facts for making wiser decisions; they have greater faith in a free-market economy, because they are getting ahead under such a market. All of these factors are important to businessmen, and they therefore support better schools in farm areas such as Adams county. In this county, some factories are taking part in school-training programs, which allow high school students to get factory experience while they are still in school, and this lets them know what they will have to have in the way of knowledge and skill before they can be high-paid, steadily-employed factory workers Some factories have surveyed student-teach-er attitudes toward business, or inventoried local job opportunities, prepared leaflets or teaching units on the history and growth of local economy; staged business education days, student tours of industry, junior achievement programs, helped in career guidance, furnished local speakers for school assemblies, loaned films to the schools, and helped in many other ways. Business expects to employ continually rising numbers of people, but these people will find their jobs changing frequently. Thirty years ago a man learned to use one piece of machinery well, and stayed with it for a lifetime. Today, he must be able to adapt to every conceivable new idea, because machinery changes faster than people. It has become ever more important for young men and women to plan ahead — early career planning is far more necessary today than it was a few years ago when you learned what Dad did, and worked at his trade ail your life. Today, workers must be prepared for all kinds of jobs. This means more families moving around, but it also means people who have seen more of the world, people with more interesting lives than the average man could expect a few years ago.

ASC S Farm Notes
RECORD ACREAGE DIVERSION SIGN-UY: A record high participation in the feed grain program is indicated for the 1964-crop year, the U. S. department of agriculture has announced. On the basis of perliminary figures from the states, 34.3 million acres of corn, grain sorphum, and barley acreage have been signed up for diversion through the final sign-up date March 27. The 34.3 million compares to sign-up of 25.7 million for diversion in 1963, 32.6 million in 1962 and 26.7 million (corn and grain sorghum only) in 1961. “This year’s record sign-up, based on the proven suceas of the feed grain programs of 1961, 1962 and 1963, is a strong endorsement by farmers, of programs to strengthen farm income and to reduce costly surpluses,” secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Freeman, commented. Feed grain carryover, which went from peak of 84.7 million tons in 1961 down to 63.1 million tores in 1963, should result in more desirable reductions in stocks by 1965, as a result of this major acreage diversion sign-up just completed. Feed grain programs started in 1961 were in a large part responsible for boosting the general level of farm income in the United States by better than a billion dollars over that prevailing in 1960, prior to the start of the programs. The biggest crop in the feed grain program is corn. COTTONSEED OIL AND SOYBEAN OIL MADE ELEGIBLE FOR BARTER: The U. S. department of agriculture has announced that pri-vately-owned cottonseed oil a n d soybean oil are eligible for export under barter transactions involving procurements, from aboard, for U. S. government agencies which will compensate the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) on a current basis. Commodity-country designations have been established for export of these oils under barter. A list of such designations and the procedure under which the exchange value of these oils Will be established may be obtained from the manager. Office of Barter and Stockpiling, Foreign Agricultural Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 20250 1964 WOOL PROGRAM ON CALENDAR YEAR BASIS: Wool producers are reminded that the 1964 incentive payment payment program for shornwool and unshorn lambs is now on the calendar year basis — January 1, 1964 through December 31, 1964. Under prior years programs, the year was from April 1 through March 31 of the following year. It is believed growers will be less confused as to the time to file applications for incentive payments if on the calandar year basis. Wool producers are urged to hold sales invoices until all the sales for the year have been completed, before filing applications for payment on both shown wool and unshorn lambs. By so payments will not be delayed, because payments are not computed until after the end of the program year. PRODUCERS ARE URGED TO KEEP FULL RECORDS: Lamb producers especially are reminded of the importance of keeping complete records to support their applications for payment under the national wool program. The same caution applies to wool growers. A lamb producer will be eligible to receive a payment on resale of the lambs still unshorn or on the sale of wool removed from such lambs if his application either (1) shows the number of head and liveweight of unshorn lambs purchased or <2) contain a statement that he purchased "none”. A complete report on purchase of unshorn lambs is necessary, regardless of whether the lambs were bought for replacement or for subsequent sale, and regardless of whether or not the seller was furnished with a sales document enabling him to apply for payment on the sale of the unshorn lambs. Likewise, the shorn wool application calls for figures on the number and liveweight of the lambs purchased even if any of the lambs are later sheared instead df being sold as unshorn lambs. Lamb payments are made under the wool program to encourage the normal marketing of lambs with the wool on and ,to prevent unusual shearing of lambs. The payments are determined on the basis of the shorn wool incentive payment, the average weight of wool per hundred pounds of lamb, and the value of lamb wool in relation to shorn wool. Lamb payments are made on lambs which a producer has owned for 30 days or more, and the amount of payment is based on weight , gain of the lambs during the seller's ownership. A complete report on the number and liveweight of any unshorn lambs purchased is needed, in order to determine the necessary deductions of producers’ payments equal to the amount of payment due the prior owner on the liveweight of unshorn lambs sold. PROPER PREPARATION OF WOOL: Wool growers are reminded of the need for improving the qual-

ity of the wool going to market so they will receive the best possible price for the wool. The national wool act was enacted in 1954 to encourage the domestic production of wool. The incentive payments on shorn wool, authorized by the act, are made at a percentage which is determined after the marketing year is over. The rate is the percentage required to bring the national average of the prices received by all growers for wool sold during the marketing year up to the previously announced incentive level. This percentage is applied to each grower’s net sales proceeds from wool to determine the amount of his program payment for the marketing year. For tiie 1963 marketing year, which ended last December, the payment rate has recently been announced at 27.8 per cent — which is the percentage necessary to bring the 48.5-cent average price received by growers last year up to the incentive level of 62 cents. This means that the wool growers receives a payment of $27.80 for every SIOO he received from his sales of shorn wool during the 1963 marketing year. The importance of marketing a quality product is underscored by an industry-wide campaign now underway to encourage the proper preparation of wool for market. Both industry and govenrment are i cooperating in the broad program to alert producers about the proper shearing and packaging of their wool. While it is too late to affect wool sales for 1963, pro- ■ ducers are urged to take steps to improve their upcoming 1964 clip. I The objective of the industrywide program is to improve the preparation of the domestic wool clip in order to provide users of domestic wools a raw material that does not require and unnecessary handling in the textile mill—a quality product which processors will find advantageous to use in competition with manmade fibers and imported wools. As developed by the industrywide lamb and wool committee, the’ program emphasizes the importance to both the grower and the industry of such practices as' proper shearing and tying techniques; eliminating unscourable branding fluids, black fibers, tar, and chemical stain, avoiding jute and other extraneous contamintion; separate packaging of tags, crutchings, face and hock wools; and improvement in the individual wool package. Growers urged to improve their wool and get a better market price and a higher payment under the national wool payment program. Growers having questions relative to shearing and packing should consult with the county extension agent or the wool marketing agency. USDA’S FIRST EXHIBIT AT NEW MILAN TRADE CENTER: U. S. agriculture’s first show at the new U. S. trade center in Milan, Italy, will be held in April as a s part of Milan's 42nd international samples fair; one of the biggest trade fairs in Europe. The Milan trade center — which, began operations in late January — is 'Strategically located in the agricultural pavilion of the Milan fair grounds, where the international fair has been held annually since 1920, except during the war years. U. S. commodity groups exhibiting — At this initial show, five of the seven U. S. cooperating groups which carry on market development in Italy will exhibit agricultural products. Each participant will have a large booth in the in 6.500-square-foot exhibit area on the first floor of the center. Dairy society international will feature a complete milk recombining plant in operation.

USDA DEFENSE BOARDS WORK TO INSURE ADEQUATE FOOD IN QUAKE-HIT ALASKA: U.S. department of agriculture state and county defense boards in Alaska are working with state and local governments and other federal agencies to insure that immediate and long-term food needs are met in Alaska areas devastated by earthquake. Four to five million pounds of USDA food in storage in Seattle, Spokane, and Hakima, Washington, has been placed on a ready basis and can be flown to Alaska by Air Force Globemaster transports to fill any needs that may arise. Other school lunch and aid-to-needy food is in regular government food distributing channels in Alaska, and can be readily diverted to quake areas. The USDA state defense board reports no immediate food shortage, with at least a 30-day supply of food in commercial channels in the quake-torn or near-by areas. With port facilities., railroads and roads damaged by the tremendous earth shocks, however, transportation is the key problem in resupplying the quake areas with food when present stocks are depleted. The USDA state defense board is seeking transportation fuel priorities for food as a result. USDA reported that no earthquake or tidal wave damage to agriculture or livestock has been reported in Alaska, Oregon, California or the state of Washington. However, possibly as an aftermath of the quake, some wells are said to be going dry in Alaska’s Matanuska Valley, one of the state’s major food-produc-ing areas. Normal USDA food distribution channels have been alerted to any food needs in Crescent City, Calif., where a tidal wave devastated the city. The chairman of the USDA defense board is in Anchorage with five other members of the board to determine immediate and long-term disaster needs. They are working closely with the USDA county defense board for the Anchorge area. USDA-supplied food available in Alaska and in the state of Washington includes flour, cornmeal, rolled wheat, peanut butter, cheese, dry milk, butter, lard, canned meat, rice, beans and bulgar. The State defense board reports no quake casualties among USDA personnel. READ THE LABEL: Again this spring, homeowners are buying tons of seed for planting new lawns or renovating old lawns. They’re finding some mixtures to be rather expensive., In contrast they’re finding others that sell at extremely low prices. Making a choice between the
high-and low-price seed mixtures — few homeowners can, without help. The first concern of many people buying seeds is “what does it'cost?" But other considerations —such as kind and variety, purity, germination rate, and noxious weed seeds present—are often more important and they’re easy to check—by reading the laWl. Truthful labeling is required under seed laws administered by each of the 50 states, as well as under a federal law known as the federal seed act, which applies to seed shipped across state lines. It was passed by congress 25 years ago to give truth-in-label-ing protection to farmers and other consumers of lawn, agricultural, and vegetable seeds. It is administered by the U.S. department 'of agriculture through its agricultural marketing service and enforced with cooperation from state seed agencies. SOME WAYS THE ACT HELPS THE BUYER OF SEED: The germination rate indicates how much of the seed will come up when planted. You should look to see when the seed was tested for germination, since seed naturally loses its viability as it becomes older, especially if it’s in a warm, humid area. The date it was tested for germination must appear with other labeling information and must be no more than six months before it’s shipped across a state line. The percentage of pure seed is shown, as well as percentages of other ‘ crop” seeds, weed seeds, and inert matter such as chaff, dirt, and stones. Each state has a list of weed seeds which it has declared as “noxious.” These are seeds of weeds that the state considers undesirable. The federal seed act requires labeling for seeds shipped into the state show whether these weed seeds are present. If they are, the number cannot exceed the permissible limits set by the state. Other labeling required on certain agricultural seeds includes the origin of the seed. The name and address of the shipper or labeler is required on all seeds offered for sale. Before buying, it’s well worth the time it takes to read and compare specific ladling information on containers of seed that are priced at different levels. You may discover that the “bargain buy” in seeds is not necessarily the bargain that it’s price tag suggests! THE SAFETY CORNER: SEASON’S CHANGE BRINGS NEW DRIVING HAZARDS: Traffic safety is important! Safety is a problem that should be kept in mind all the time, still the wise plan ahead so that he anticipates the hazards of each season. Spring and summer bring hot weather problems! Are you prepared? What about salt pads to prevent exhaustion? Pads to keep perspiration out of eyes? Bug deflectors for your radiator? Also, how about a new litterbag? SPECIAL SEASONAL HAZARDS: , 1. Danger of panic should a bee or wasp get into the car. - 2. The problem of rest — when activities are at their peak. 3. Sunburn and poison ivy. 4. Critical tire problems caused by extra heat. HELP MAKE THE HIGHWAYS SAFER: Develop extra cautious driving habits: extra following distance; easy acceleration; easy turning; easy early use of brakes;.'and extra caution at crossroads — even if you have the right-of-way. «» KEEP YOUR WINDSHIELD CLEAN SO SAFETY CAN BE SEEN:

President Johnson does not believe it What it more, 1 do not think 11 the members of the Congress of the United P States believe it. E This country, with its enormous producB tivity, its advanced technology, the mobility S of its people, and the speed of its comS munications has both the resources and the H know-how to eliminate poverty. t ■ Furthermore, we now have a f» r area understanding of the complex causes of poverty—what makes people poor, and what keeps them that way-too often from Swaw.l Midvw g ‘ , We’are"no < w asktogto put these resources and this knowledge to work in an all-out attack “P on erty, in which every sector of our societywi i that mv experience over the last ten weeks 1 ha .rd ..ivrury .«.»!» »■» - " *" levels of government are ready to enlist in th • This is a new program—new in the sweep of » m™, rs U. ’’'‘""‘"’’•J ,“or Thin is a nrudent program—it ensures a dollar s value lor eaS?dX s^nt nt ft is carefully focused on specific areas ° f ’l'hiß is a comprehensive program—it attacks the Major causes which together create poverty in America, not just one or two of these causes. This is a focused program—focused on the poor, programs ot the Federal government are concerned with education, health, employment and the economic dima e. These programs are important—but too often th p P the very bottom of the economic scale are missed—and the least goes to the lowest. . But this program is directly concerned with the job of raising 35,000,000 Americans out of a condition ot poverty. And it represents the consensus not of any one group but of business and labor, of farmers and scholars, of interested private institutions and educated private citizens that this job can be done. . This is a new program, not because no one has tried to help the poor before, but because no one has tried to do it with a single-minded attention to the basic causes of poverty, and enlists all our resources in the effort. The community action program that it proposes calls upon local leadership and local initiative to formulate long-range, comprehensive plans to eliminate poverty in each commonity. We will review these plans and help to finance them. But the initiative to determine and execute plans, to call upon local and state resources and institutions and to carry the plans forward, depends upon the will and energy of each community. Thia Bill provides incentives for business to create new jobs, and to establish new enterprises to employ the longterm unemployed. It provides incentives for labor to use its resources in pension and trust funds to the same ends. It provides incentives for farm groups to strengthen the pattern of family farming, and to cooperate in drawing up plans to eliminate poverty in rural areas. It provides incentives for private institutions —hospitals, community centers, Y's and 4-H Clubs, and all the rest of our rich abundance of private organizations devoted to human welfare, to join in community action plans and focus • their efforts more effectively on tfce problems of those not ■ sharing America’s abundance.
Remodeling Work Al A & P Is Completed * A “face lifting’ job on the local A&P store has now been completed, bringing to a conclusion the extensive remodeling program at 101 E. Monroe St. which began in 1963, according to vice president Clyde L. Taylor. Modernization of the interior and installation of new equipment was completed last year. Now the exterior has been revamped, converting it to an Early American motif reflecting this , graciousness of an earlier year. Taylor, who heads the company’s Toledo unit, in charge of store operations in parts of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, said the

renovation program was planned 1 to “show the gratitude we feel for the loyal patronage of our many friends in Decatur. We believe we now have one of the most up-to-date food shopping centers in this area,” he said. Completion of the remodeling program highlights more than 42 . years of A& P business in Decatur. Lincoln Teachers Attend Institute Three members of the Lincoln school faculty attended the second annual reading institute, held at St. Francis College in Fort Wayne Saturday. Topic of this i year’s institute was “improvement of reading in elementary and sec- . ondary schools.” ‘ Lincoln teachers in attendance were Mrs. Mary Wemhoff, Mrs. ! Emily Engle and Harold Mumma.
