A S C S Farm Notes ,

1964 WHEAT AND FEED GRAIN FIELD WORK: Field work in connection with the 1964 wheat division and feed grain programs is well underway. Farm reporters are visiting farms to measure wheat, diversion and feed grain' acreage. However, measurements cannot be made unless the owner, operator or tenant is at the farm to assist with the measurements. Acreage notices will be mailed to each interested person as soon as the computations can be completed in the county office. This usually is about one week after the reporter has measured the acreages. WHEAT DISPOSITION DATE: June 10, 1964, or 15 days after the date of the wheat acreage notice, whichever is later in the final date to adjust wheat acreage to comply with the wheat programs. ADAMS COUNTY WHEAT LOAN RATE ESTABLISHED: The wheat loan rate in Adams county has been established at $1.31 per bushel. This compares to a national loan rate of $1.30. Wheat producers who harvest wheat within their allotment are eligible to apply for a wheat loan. The loan may be either farm storage or an approved warehouse storage. ACP REMINDERS: Farmers who have received approval of conservation practices are urged to check the final date for reporting on the approval notice. The date is important because if the form is not completed and returned to the county office by that date, we have no alternate but to cancel the approval. Notices have been mailed to farmers whose final date for reporting is June 15. So, if you haven't completed the practice due to reasons beyond your control, a request for an extension of time should be signed in the county office, or the request will be accepted by telephone. Keep in mind, the request for extension should be received in the county office no later than June 15 or at least postmarked June 15. Failure to report the completed practice could result in the loss of the cost-share assistance. A purchase order issued in the name of a vendor is not to be used to report the completed practice. The form, known as form ACP-245, which was mailed with the purchase order, is the only form to be used for reporting a practice. We do not want any person to lose a payment due to a misunderstanding —so, if in doubt, call at the county office. DIVERTED ACREAGE: Another reminder — acreage diverted under the wheat or feed grain programs must have a seeding of legumes or grasses, to be eligible as diverted acreage. Any person who would like to establish a permanent vegetative cover on diverted acreage, may receive cost-share assistance on such acreage under the ACP program, provided a request is filed before the land is seeded to grasses or legumes. This practice must be applied to cropland and must remain in the vegetative cover for at least four years.. This same acreage could be used as diverted or conserving acreage in next year’s wheat or feed grain programs. NEED LIMESTONE? . Now is a good time to take soil samples to determine the need for limestone, which could be applied after wheat and oats harvest. Samples must be sent to Purdue University for the soil test. Containers are available at this office or at the county agent’s office to be used for submitting the samples. Under the ACP program, the elgiible farmer who files a request for cost-sharing before applying

the required limestone, will receive $1.30 per ton. Limestone must be applied in accordance with the soil test requirements. Cost-sharing will be paid only on the exact amount of limestone required by the soil test, no more, nor no less. Limestone must be applied on farmland which is in legumes or grasses or will be in legumes or grasses by the end of the year 1966. The legumes or grasses must remain on the land for one complete growing season after the limestone is applied. For example: if limestone is applied to land after June 1, 1964, legumes and grasses my be seeded in the fall of 1964, but must remain on the land through the summer of 1965. REPORT FORMS MAILED TO FARMERS: Forms have been mailed to farmers who received cost-share payments during the 1962 prgoram year, requesting a report of the use of the land, that is, was the land seeded to grasses or legumes? This report is due in the county office by December 31, 1964. Failure to return the report could result in a request for a refund of cost-shared paid. CROP-LOAN OPERATION TO BE SPEEDED UP: Farmers should be able to obtain their loans more promptly under the 1964 price support programs. New operating procedures Under the programs will apply particularly to farm-store c o mmodity loans. They are intended to simplify the program and make it more effective and less costly. Under previous conditions it sometimes took considerable, time for a producer to obtain his farmstore commodity loan funds due to the required exact measurements of quantity and determination of quality factors. In 1964, however, administrative instructions will be held to a minimum, and farmer-committeemen will have more responsibility in the local administration of the programs. Community committeemen may handle applications and sollateral — inspection duties. Under the new procedure, price support may be requested by filing a application and paying a nominal fee. which is not refundable. The ASCS county office field representative and the producer will then jointly confirm toe existence and apparent condition of the farm-stored 4 commodity. Together they can develop a quantity estimate to which a reasonable safety factor will be applied. Where a producer wants only price-support protection without a loan, no farm visit will be made — purchase agreement. On warehouse storage loans, as in the past, the producer will put up his warehouse receipt as collateral. The price-support loan rate than will be based on toe settlement value of the quality offered. The quantity eligible will be that shown on the receipt. Disbursement will be made by toe ASCS county offices using a CCC loan draft designed so a bank may hold it as an interestbearing certificate. If the producer redeems his crop (either farm or warehouse-stored), no service charge will apply. If the producer does not redeem his crop, CCC will accept all of the eligible commodity at delivery time, and settlement wil be based on its grade, quality, and quantity. DID YOU KNOW THAT? Since World War 11, productivity per man-hour in farming in this country has increased at an annual rate of 5.6 per cent — twice the growth rate of output per manhour in other segments of our economy?

tion, those who leave are generally the young, vigorous, and better educated? Airborne exports of farm products In the first 10 months of 1963 totaled 20 million pounds — a third more than the year before. Last year the first of about 50 pure-jet cargo planes came into service. These planes carry 45 tons at a cruising speed of 500 miles an hour and one of these planes can be loaded in 40 minutes with new mechanical loading systems in contrast to 180 minutes required to load piston-type freighters? The national school lunch program, administered by USDA's agricultural marketing service, is helping to provide nutritious school lunches at low cost to onethird of toe nation’s elementary and secondary pupils? If 'U. S. wheat exports continue at current levels, total for the 1964 fiscal year is expected to reach 850 milliqp bushels compared with 638 million last year. Today toe average U. S. family spends less than 19 per cent of its spendable income for food. Each year 1,200 SCS snow surveyors measure the snowpack in the remote rugged mountain areas of the west. They cover more than 70.000 miles on skie and snowshoes to find out how much water will be available for irrigation in the coming season. JOHN A. BAKER, ASSISANT SECRETARY FOR RDC SAYS: John A. Baker, assistant secretary for rural development and conservation in answer to “Whence cometh our strength says: , “Rural America has made the country what it is today — provided the raw materials and toe manpower and toe capital to build our cities — and to finance the railroads that opened toe west; it grew the cotton, tobacco and rice that brought the foreign capital needed to finance our industrial expansion, and finally, it provided the people needed to run the factories, invent toe new machines and perform countless services that Combined give America toe highest standard of living ever known on earth. Rural life also has provided a moral background that permeates our national culture.” THE SAFETY CORNER 10 golden rules of driving: 1. I will drive in an alert, courteous and sane manner.

2.1 will always operate my vehicle at a safe speed and at no time will I take risks. 3. I will not drive w he n my sense and ability are affected by liquor, drugs, emotion, drowsiness, illness or otherwise. 4. I will be cautious toward pedestrians, keeping in mind that 1, too, am a pedestrian. 5. I will be tolerant toward other drivers. 6. I recognize that my right to drive a vehicle upon the streets and highways is a privilege that must be shared with others and not abused. 7. I will obey all traffic laws, signs and signals. 8.1 will never insist on my right-of-way or other traffic rights when by extending or granting the same right to the other driver or pedestrian, I may prevent an accident or injury. 9. I will keep my vehicle in a safe and proper working condition at all times. 10. Above all. in my driving, I pledge I will “Do unto others, as I would have them do unto me.” SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE The law-abiding citizens feels that traffic laws are good-good for toe other fellow. He can see the sense of speed limits — if they are enforced against the other fellow. He can see that the other guy ought not sneak past a red light and should come to a full stop on a stop sign but, when he does it, it is done with the utmost wisdom and endangers no one. Law enforcement officers receive little or no cooperation from the public in traffic law enforcement’ campaigns. People resent traffic tickets. Sure, they usually are guilty of the offense, but why should they be arrested? They always drive as carefully as they can. What they were doing was technically wrong but right because they were doing it. DON’T BE A TRAFFIC TROUBLE-MAKER
