1964 FEED GRAIN, WHEAT DIVERTED ACRES MAY BE GRAZED: Farmers who diverted acreage under the 1964 feed grain and voluntary wheat programs are now permitted to graze this acreage without prior approval of the I; county committee. However, farmers are warned that hay or seed may not be harvested from diverted acreages. This is a violation of the agreement and could result in a refund of the diverted payments earned under the programs. Land which is in the conserva--oon reserve program may not be grazed or harvested at any time during the contract period. This applies to the contracts which expire December 31. 1964. as well as the contracts which will be in Effect tor a longer period of time. , 489 Adams county farmers panvtlcipotcd in the 1964 feed grain {program and 289 farms participat- : gti in the voluntary wheat diver--1 s|on program. it. 1961 AGRICULTURAL Conservation program: r " The 1964 ACP program year .vends December 31, 1964 — farf Jfters who have received appro*?Y«ls for cost sharing of conservaE lion practices should start the < practice now — to have them I completed before the final date •■ifer completing and reporting to the county office— the majority of listed final dates are December 15, 1964 — it is very important that such dates are adhered too.

spring wheat for domestic unrestricted use. In its announcement of the suspension, the department of agriculture pointed out that CCC sales of this wheat class have been made since July 1 to assure adequate stocks for milling and export during the period of transition to the new wheat program prior to this year’s harvest. As hard spring wheat has become available in volume in private trade channels, CCC sales have fallen off until they are no longer significant in volume. It now appears that this year’s production is more than sufficient to meet domestic and export demand, and currently there is no need to supplement supplies with CCC stocks. CCC’s action is designed to encourage maximum use of hard red spring wheat out of private trade channels and minimize unnecessary movement of this class of wheat into the CCC inventory through the price-sup-port loan operation. Sa leu will be resumed when and if it appears desirable to provide adequate supplies for market needs at reasonable! and stable prices. AGRICULTURE SECRETARY PROPOSES 1965 SUGAR ACTIONS: Secretary of agriculture Orville L. Freeman has announced actions he proposes to tak<r with respect to the administration of the sugar program for 1965. The actions would result in: (1.1 Determining sugar requirements and establishing quotas for the calendar year 1965 totaling 9.2 million short tons, raw value. -Quotas would be set at this conservative level to encourage the maintenance of sugar prices in line with objections of the sugar act. The domestic price for raw sugar recently has been almost Mi cent per pound below the price reference point in the law. Actual consumption of sugar in 1965 is expected to be around 9.8 or 9.9 million UXns-.

countries which imported sugar into the United States during the calendar years 1963 and 1964. The section of the act which directed the manner of prorating the remainder of requirements to foreign countries will have expired at the end of 1964. Accordingly, under general authority included in the sugar Act, the quota for such countries would be prorated on the fbasis of a formula which gives single weighting to 1963 imports into the United States and double weighing to 1964 imports. (Basing the proration on recent imports reccgnzies the performance of countries which committed supplies to this market when sugar was scarce .throughout the world.) More than half of the 1965 quota for foreign countries other than the Philippines stems from the (xirtion of the parket reserved for Cuba when friendly relations are resumed with that country. The full quantity of 1965 prorations to individual countries, therefore, should not be regarded as a precedent for quotes in later years. (3> In view of legal limitations, applying no fee to Imports. Import fees cannot be applied because of legal limitations. The administration intends to recommend to the congress reinstitution of a system of import fees in connection with long-term legislation. FEWER HOGS ON FEED DURING 1964-65 CUT GRAINCONSUMING STOIK NUMBERS The number of grain-consum-ing livestock to be fed during the 1964-65 feeding year is expected to be around 169 million animal units, down slightly from 170 million feed during 1963-64. Much of the prospective reduction in grain-consuming stock will be in hogs. Farmers cut their spring pig crop by eight per cent from a year earler and reported plans to farrow seven per cent less pigs this fall. As a result, fewer hogs wil be fed during the rest of 1964 and early 1965 and production for the entire 1964-65. feeding year may be about five per cent under 1963-64. Cattle feeding is likely to remain at a high level in 1964-65. However, another gain in the ' quantity of feed fed per cow also is likely, offaetting the drop in numtiers. An additional small rise in broiler output seems probable in 196465 despite below average broiler-

feed prices ratios. USE OF COMBINES FOR SHELLING CORN MORE AND MORE POPULAR: Combines, long the odds-oa favorite for harvesting small graine, are gaining ground in the com fields, too. From a negligible three per cent of the harvest in 1956, 15 per cent of the com was harvested by picked shelters in 1960. During this period, the importance of corn harvested by hand declined (Torn 19 per cent to 10 per cent; for corn harvested by mechanical picker, from 78 to 75 per cent. About one-third of the field shelled corn was custom harvested. Most of the custom work was on small farms. FACTS FROM “FARMER’S WORLD — 1964 YEARBOOK OF AGRICULTURE: Did you know — that the U. S. balance of payments deficit would have been 30 pej cent greater in fiscal 1963 if it hadn’t been for our favorable agricultural trade balance of over $1 billion. —selling abroad means knowing your market. The color orange, for Instance, can’t be used or packages in Thailand because it’s associated with the saffron robes of Buddhist priests. The 608-page yearbook surveys the U.

NEW FACES IN THE CITY: Where do they come from?? — where have they come from, these new faces in the city? Some came from other countries but the largest rshare of new faces come from rural areas all over our own country. The movement of farm people to urban centers has accelerated since 1940. And prospects are that . the trends in migration, from term to nonfarm employment will continue. Birth rates in rural areas still tend to be higher than in urban areas, intensifying the need for migration. The young, the bright, the strong are looking for a better ’ deil. Most of them know that the average income of farm families is about half that of city families. For example, in 1959, the national median family income was 85,660. The comparable figure for urban families was $6,166; for rural nonfarm, $4,750; and for farm families, $3,228. NATIONAL HOLIDAY NOVEMBER 11: The ASCS office will be closed Wednesday, November 11 in observance of the national holiday. Veterans Day. THE SAFETY CORNER: It’s the law — every vehicle upon a highway in this state at any time from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernable at a distance of 500 feet ahead, shall display lighted head lamps and’ such other Illuminating devises as repsectively lequired for different classes of vehicles. Daylight hours have begun to shorten —thus lengthening hours of darkness. It stands to reason that traffic hazards will increase when visibility decreases. Driver's visibility is one of the most critical factors in traffic safety. In 1963. 60 per cent of the pedestrian fatalities were struck down during the hours of nwa Walking along a highway, -or crossing between intersections especially in unlighted areas, represents a definite accident potential. Motor vehicle collisions tend to increase after dark. Added to the poorer visibility at night, is the possibility of ground fog, rsinslick pavements and objects that appear suddenly in your car's headlights which are too close to miss. Don’t have that false sense of security on the streets and roads you travel each day. Don't tromp on the gas pedal on the test few miles or blocks from home — this could lead to a dangerous situation. Your luck may hold out. but when It doesn't — you are in for trouble!

Ernest J. Lcstak County Extension Agent Agriculture Sugar maples are probably the most popular shade tree for the yard, but there are other good choices of trees and now is the time to be thinking about planting. Sweet gum trees are good shade and they are an attractive scarlet in the fall. Pine oak is also good and shares the tell bright color pattern. Sugar maples turn varying shades of yellow orange and red in the fall. For a tree that is fairly strong and still fairly fast growing, the thornless honey-locust, with its lacy foliage. Silver maple and Chinese elm are weak. Good small flowering trees are the popular flowering dogwood or redbud. The flowering dogwood has large white flowers which open in May and bright red berries matching its autumn foliage. The redbud has small, purplishPurple Penning; By Patsy Lee Leaders County Extension Agent Home Economics APPLES TO PLEASE: There is no better treat than a lovely, ripe apple. This is the largest apple harvest since 1937 — iso now is the time to serve them in many different ways. Baked apples — One of the simplest and tastiest ways to serve apples is be baking them. If you stuff baked apples with a cooked sausage, rice mixture, they can be the main course for luncheon or supper. Apple-turkey-ham salad bowl — Another good luncheon item is a turkey-ham salad, accented with cubes of fresh apple. The tart flavor and crisp texture of the apple adds a pleasing note of contrast to then tender ham and turkey. Serve with a cup of soup ank basket of homemade KftifTtas v and lunch is complete. Apple chiffon pudding — For dessert, here is something unusual and attractive. Use fresh applesauce as part of the liquid in mak<hg up a package of instant vanilla pudding mix. Then for added fluff, fold in 1 or 2 egg whites, weaten stiff. The result — applechiffon puffing.

APPLE POINTERS: For eating purposes, choose apples free of blemishes and of good characteristic coloring. For cooking, color and blemishes are not important. Usually apples so marked sell for less. The larger the apple, the less the waste. Three medium apples —1 pound. Four small apples —1 pound. Store apples in a cool place. Keep as many as you can in the refrigerator. 4 to 5 cups sliced fresh apples make an B-inch pie, 6 to 7 cups sliced fresh apples make a B-inch pie. One No. 303 can of applet gives 2 cups apples. One No. 2 can gives 2Mi cups apples. One No. 2 can of apples slices and juice makes a B-inch pie. For eating out of hand choose — Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Jonathan. Grimes Golden or Winesap apple. Mclntosh. Apples to bake — Winesap, Jonathan, Borne Beauty, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious. Apples for pie — Jonathan, Winesap, Delicious, Rome Beauty, Mclntosh.

pink flowers in the spring and yellow leaves in the fall. Start with good quality trees from a local dependable nursery. Most shade and flowering trees for your yard should be planted after leaves have fallen and before the ground freezes. Dig a ladge hole to allow roots enough space, and to porvide space for adding plenty of good topsoil and peat moss. It’s best to dig a hole twice as wide and six inches deeper than the spread of the tree roots. Throw out poor soil, and if drainage is poor, run a tile line from the bottom of the hole to a lower area of a dry well. Fill the hole half full with an equal mixture of topsoil and peat moss, and mix in 10-8-6 fertilizer at the rate of one tablespoon per cubic foot of soil. The tree should stand in the hole at the same depth it grow in the nursery or slightly deeper. Spread roots out and add more of the topsoil — peat moss mixture, adding soil within two inches of the top of the dug out area. And don’t tramp the soil with your feet. Settle it by flooding the area with water instead. Make a saucer shaped ridge or basin around the outer edge of the planting for future watering. Your tree should be braced if it is more than six feet high. Looping an anchor wire at a five five foot height on the trunk of the trees and stretching wires to the ground will protect it from being whipped by wind. Pan anchor loops with rubber hose tp avoid injury. D. H. I. A. Report The ten high cows in the Adams County D. H. I. A. for the month

Woodland Planning Some soil area sore excellent for growing timber, but some are of poorer quality. Many are not productive enough to justify forest management. Others, although productive, have important management hazards and limitations that prohibit or severely restrict their use. Many areas could more appropriately be dedicated to other uses, such as range wildlife habitat, and areas of human recreation. How do we distinguish between the good and poor areas for timber production, the areas best suited for agricultural crops and those that should be devoted to other important uses associated with forest cover? This is an important land use question, because about a third of our total land area is woodland. A wealth of scientific information and practical experience are available about soils, climate, and related subjects to help make these decisions. The information needs to be interpreted and presented in away that permits its use by landowners. Combined Forces Soils are the result of the combined "forces” of the environment. Each kind occurs in characteristic locations, and reoccurs whenever the same conditions are found. Soil scientists have developed methods of describing, in the field and in the laboratory, the many different soil characterisstics. They can show by soil mapping units, the location and extent of each different kind of soil. Each can be interpreted separately for different uses, such as cultivated crops, pasture, range, engineering and woodland. In making full use of soil maps for woodland planning, it is helpful to consider the methods of (Continued on Page EfGHT)
