Heller, Jr. President Mrs. John Shirk Vice President Mrs. A. R. Holthouse ........ Secretary Ralph W. Sauer - - Treasurer Some Observations NIPSCO, in its monthly magazine, PICTURE, recently included an article by Dr. O. P. Kretzmann, president of Valparaiso University, entitled, “Some observations at 4 o’clock in the afternoon.” In his remarks, Dr. Kretzman mentioned this little story: “About two and one-half months ago, we had a big law school weekend here at Valparaiso and invited both Chief Justice Warren and Secretary of State Dean Rusk. “Some two months before the actual date, we announced Chief Justice Warren was coming, and what followed has continually bothered me. I have never in my life received such vicious mail as I did after this announcement. I would say over a hundred letters from all parts of the country were received—and they were vicious, pathological. They were the worst things I have seen in a long time, and I’ve seen a lot of letters like that. Suddenly, I had a glimpse of something basically sick in American life. Things were so bad, we called in thfTFfcl for security reasons. “Now you certainly don’t have to agree with Mr. Warren’s interpretation of the Constitution or our social problems, but you and I can disagree with him and still feel he is the Chief Justice of the United States. Then 1 saw Justice War, ren, and whatever else he m a y be, judicially or politically, he is an American and a good one. "Although, as I say, you may disagree with him, this kind of sick hate — I use the term in the beatnik sense of the word — is something quite new in American life as far as 1 can tell. For the first time, I understood Dallas. When this kind of thing goes on in our society, your mind and mine may be able to take it, because we are usually normal; but when it (hate) touches a mind already tained by sickness, you have the kind of thing that happened on the 22nd of November, 1963, in Dallas.” How does this hate develop? It’s easy enough to figure out. Someone disagrees with the chief justice, or the president, on a specific issue. He decides that since the chief, justice, or president, is wrong on one issue, he must, therefore, be wrong on all issues (total guilt, the either-or, black/white concept, of all one, or all the other) you are either this way or that way, no inbetween. This is easily seen in the filthy, mudslinging l>ooks that appear about presidents — Flynn’s book on Roosevelt, Lasky's book on Kennedy, and now a whole raft of books on Johnson. These books don’t merit the attention of an intelligent human being —they should be relegated to the waste basket and trash dump where they belong. Adults who revel in reading such tripe are sick, and in serious danger of becoming a victim themselves of the “sick hate” of which Dr. Kretzmann speaks. Editorial written by Dick Heller

Population Study Planned This Fall BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The first long-range population study ever attempted in Indiana on a county-by-county basis will be launched this tall by Indiana University as an aid to civic and governmental lea lets in Adams county and the state’s other 91 counties in planning their community development programs. Included will be population estimates for each year through 1975. and at five-year intervals for the 10 remaining years leading up to 1985. Results arc expected to be published and ready for distribution by late 1965. In addition to making the findings available to the various counties, the consulting services of the sponsoring I. U. bureau of business research will be offering local planners at useful time intervals in a further effort to minimize costs involved in community plnnn’ng and development, said Jack R. Wentworth, Bureau director. Better Planning Availability of the population forecasts, whether it be for Adams county or Whitley county, will, according to yVentwofth: 1. Permit the professional planner in this county to base his proposals on a much more reliable foundation that has heretofore been possible; 2 Enable the local planning commission to better understand the present situation, and to adjust its goals and programs accordingly; 3. Make better planning available to more communities at lower costs, through publications and consultations with University personnel. The results will npt be limited to use by civic planners, Wentworth said, for the data also will be useful for business and economic forecasting, and in the planning activities of individual business firms.

ASCS Fann Notes
MEETING WELL ATTENDED: All ASCS county personnel sincerely thank ail rural and urban people who attended our recent meeting at the Decatur Youth and Community Center. Lenard Pound, chairman of the Indiana ASC state committee, very aptly explained the need for farm programs, stressing the fact that the programs benefit both the rural and urban population of the United States, thus proving the point that public relations between the rural and urban people is a very important part of the economy of the nation. Charites Troyer, farmer fieldman, explained the 1965 voluntary wheat program in detail, and urged all wheat growers to sign up to participate in the program. DISCUSSION OF SPECIAL ACP PROJECT* Pound and Troyer also spoke at a recent meeting held in the county office, which was held for the purpose of discussing and possibly recommending a special agricultural conservation project for Adams county. This meeting was attended by representatives of service organizations, county council, county commissioners and agricultural offices. Different conservation needs of the county were discussed. Any person who has a conservation problem which is not covered by an approved ACP practice, is urged to call at the county office and tell us about it — we will then present the recommendation to the state committee for consideration.

ALL WHEAT GROWERS:,, Octover 2, 1964 is the final date to sign-up to participate in the 1965 voluntary wheat program. Also, remember, this program is not automatic . . a form “intention to participate,” must be signed before the deadline date. If you don’t sign up — you will bp ineligible to receive certificate payments next August and price support after harvest. This program means an increased income. Growers who sign un this fall will still have a chance to. change their cropping intentions any time before the end of the feed grain signup next spring. The substitution privilege will not be available unless an intention to participate in the wheat program is signed during the signup period. * Even though a grower may participate in either the wheat program or the feed grain program by signing up under either program, if he is undecided at this time, it will prove profitable to him to sign an application under the wheat program . . then he may use the substitution privi-; lege if he desires. There is nothing to lose by signing, but there is a lot to gain. Evert though you sign up, you are not obligated to carry out the intentions. The application may be canceled at any time. There will be only one sign up period for wheat for this area and that period ends October 2. 1964 WHEAT PROGRAM PAYMENTS BENEFIT ADAMS COUNTY FARCERS: Over 200 Adams county farmers shared in the $51,000 wheat diversion and certificate payments earned under the 1964 wheat program. These farmers were also eligible for the $1.26 price support for their wheat under the loan program. 1964 FEED GRAIN PAYMENTS NOW BEING MADE: Adams county farmers who carried out their intentions under the 1964 feed grain program are now receiving their cash returns for diverting acreage from the production of feed grains. At the same time, the soil is being conserved as no crop could be harvested from the diverted acreage. To date, final payments in the amount of $268,000 have been made. Due to the heavy work load at this time, payments have been somewhat delayed. However, all who have signed their final applications will have received their payments by the first of next week, with the exception of those applications requiring more than one signature, payments cannot be made until all interested persons have signed. We urge all participants, who have received a card to come in and sign their applicationand to do so as soon as possible. Anyone who does not desire to receive his payment at this time, should come in and sign the application, then a request for the
issuance of the sight draft after the first of next year may be signed. 1964 COBN PRICE SUPPORT ANNOUNCED* Price-support loans for the 1964 corn crop will average 1111 in Adams county. This compares with the 1963-crop loan rate of SI.OB per bushel. A price-support payment, included tn the final diversion payment, plus the loan rate gives- an average price support rate of $1.26 per bushel. The average county loan rate of sl.ll per bushel is for 1964crop corn grading No. 3, or No. 4 on the factor of test weight only tout otherwise grading No. 3 except for moisture. Only participants of the 1964 feed grain program are eligible for price-support loans. Loans wiH be available from corn harvest through May 31, 1965 and will mature July 31, 1965. Corn may be stored on the farm or in a CCC approved warehouse. Applications for both farm stored and warehouse loans will be filed at county ASCS offices in the county where the farm is listed. A community committeeman will serve as commodity inspector and will visit the farm, after the application is filed in the office, to inspect the storage and the grain. FIGURES ON FARM INCOME: How muchj-noney do farmers make? According to a recent economic research service report, net farm income in 1963 on 40 important types of commercial farms in 23 major farming areas in the United States ranged from $743 a year on broiler farms in Georgia to $96,397 on large cotton-general crop farms in California. Total net income per farm averaged $3,580 a year.
Total net farm income — including net change in inventory — for all farms in the United States was $12.8 billion in 1963, down nearly 4 per cent from a year earlier. Realized gross farm income in 1963, at $41.1 billion, exceeded the previous record high of $40.8 billion in 1962. Farm production expenses totaled $28.8 billion in 1963 — up about S6O million from the preceding year. Farmers paid higher priced than in 19621/0? feed, jseeds, motor vehicles, farm machinery and equipment. Prices were lower for feeder livestock and fertilizer. Production per farm on the average was 34 per cent higher in 1963 than in the 1951-60 period. The total number of farms has declined nearly 10 per cent since 1960 DID YOU KNOW THAT? —Some 96,000 pieces of equipment valued at more than $1 billion use an estimated s4l million worth of fuel, oil, grease and tires in installing soil and water conservation practices on the nation’s farm and ranch lands each year? —About 1.5 million farms and homes, including community, Commercial, and industrial establishments are being served by REA-financed telephone facilities? Seventy-five per cent of our farms now have telephones. —One of the greatest assists by the federal government are loans which will be repaid? —That, in 1962, the congress broadened the loan program for rural housing to include the elderly citizen as well as families not in farming? —That the manpower development and training act has assisted or is assisting nearly 170,000 persons to develop new job skills? THE SAFETY CORNER: KIDS AND CAUTION: Watch out for those kids who go dashing across the street. . . . no doubt nine out of ten have been warned to “look both ways before crossing the street”. . .but very few of them take time to “stop and think” and apply all safety precautions, parents and teachers have told them about. As a driver — your responsibility is towards children’s safety. You have to think for them, to anticipate their actions and you must be prepared to take quick evasve action when a dangerous situation presents itself. “REGARD EVERY CHILD IN OR NEAR THE STREET AS A HUMAN CAUTION SIGN.”
