Higher Education As education beyond 12 years becomes a necessity for every individual, the time is fast approaching when Indiana’s General must reassess its school program. The four state colleges — HI, PU, Ball State , and Indiana State — are interested in retaining control of all higher education which is state-supported, or partly state supported. This is understandable — every institution gets “empire-building” fever — but is it the best thing for Indiana? The Indiana School Boards Association favors two-year junior colleges that strongly emphasize vocational education and technical education. These would be polytechnical institutes, as envisioned by the governor’s committee on organization for post high school vocational-technical education, and would be under a state board of regents. The controlling board would be independent of both the state college and the state department of public instruction. The state teachers association wants more teachers colleges, preferably through independent community colleges. In the east and west, where community colleges are a tested and proven reality, a much higher percentage of the population has a chance to get an education. Where local needs justify a foyr-year or fiveyear college, present center can be made independent, rather than centrally controlled. This is the way that Ball State grew from an extension of Indiana State. The state universities can well concentrate on graduate programs, and advanced teaching, and let smaller, more convenient, community colleges handle the first few years of post-high-achool training. , • Even in the largest universities, grad students and assistants handle most undergraduate courses, and almost all freshman - sophomore work. This pretty well deadens the university argument that they will have the best teachers for extensions, compared with community colleges. While the four state colleges busy them- £ selves with dividing Indiana into spheres of influ* ' ence, much as Spain and Portugal once divided America, thinking Hoosiers will want to see the people, rather than the four colleges, considered.

'*4 WOOL PROGRAM -• MARKET YEAR ENDS DECEMBER Mi Wool and lamb grower* are reminded that the 1964 marketing year under the national wool program ends December 31. Payment! tor the current year will be made on wool and lambi sold during the period January 1 through December 31, 1964. Marketings after December 31 will be eligible for payments for the 1965 marketing year, which to from January 1, 1965 through December 31, 1965. For the first time, the wool program is the full year on a calen-dar-year basis. Growers are urged not to let the deadline slip by, thinking that the current program’• end is several months away, as under earlier programs. Applications for the 1964 marketing year payments must, be filed no later than January 31, 1965. The payments will probably be made in April, 19*5. The national wool act was enacted in 1964 to encourage the domestic production of wool. IMS FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: The signup period tor participation In the 165 voluntary feed grain program will be from February * through March 26. During this period, wheat producers who signed up in the 1966 wheat program may change their intentions under the acreage substitution feature for wheat and feed grain acreage. Thia is “new” for the 1965 programs. To participate in the feed grain program the producens need to reduce their total acreage of corn, grain sorghum and barley in 1965 by at least twenty per cent. The national average price support for cooperators for 1965 com will be *1.25 per bushel — this means a loan and purchase value of $1.05 per bushel and 20 cents per bushel support payment. Diversion payments, if less than 40 per cent of the feed grain base is diverted, will be the county support rate on one-fifth of normal production for the first 20 per cent of diversion and on onehalf of normal for the remaining percentage. Notices of bases and rates will be mailed to feed grain producers some time in January. FARM EXPORTS REACH ALL-TIME HIGH: (J. S’, agricultural exports in fiscal year 1963-64 reached an alltime record, acceding to a recent report by the U. S. department of agriculture. Value totaled $6.1 billion, 20 per cent above the previous year’s $5.1 billion. < nearly all of the $1 billion export grain resulted from larger dollar sales). Volume was over the previous year’s record. The export value was equivalent to 16 per cent of the $36.9 billion cash receipts from farm marketings in 1963. The report shows that the output of 80 million acres of U. 8. cropland moved abroad in 1963-64 which meant that one out of every /our harvested acres produced for export. The export market provided a market for three-fourths of U. S. farmers’ wheat production; two-thirds of the rice; threefilths of the nonfat dry milk; half of the dry edible peas; over twofifths of the tallow, soybeans, and hops; a third of the cotton, rye, and primes'; around a fourth of the lard, dried whole milk and tooacco; and a fifth of the raisins, dry edible beans and cottonseed; and one-sixth of the grain sorghums and barley. The United States is the world’s largest exporter of farm products. U. S. farmers ip 1964 supplied’ over one-fifth of world agricultural exports. U. S. agricultural exports in 1963-64 required financing, inland transportation, storage. and ocean transportation for 55 million long tons of cargo, enough to fill over 1.5 million freight cars or 5,500 cargo ships.

In moving these exports, an average of 15 shiploads departed each day. Os the *6.1 billion of U. S. agricultural exports in 1963-64, a record *4.5 bilion were commercial sales for dolars and *1.6 billion moved under public law 480 and AID programs (foreign currency sales, donations, barter and longterm supply and dollar credit sales). Moreover, so that products such as wheat, Weat flour, cotton, rice, nonfat dry milk, butter, butteroil, flaxseed, linseed oil, and some tobacco could complete in world markets, the Corpmodity Credit Corporation made export payments to exporters in cash or in kind and sold stocks at less than domestic prices. An estimated $2.3 billion benefited from such export payment assistance; *1.4 billion as commercial sales for dollars and *.9 billion under government-financed export programs. This export assistance in the form of export payments and sales below domestic prices is estimated at about *BOO million, which is not included in the value bf agricultural exports. — SHEEP NUMBERS CONTINUE TO DECLINE: As farmland is shifted into urban and recreational uses, the remaining acres go into more intensive farming and sheep flocks disappear. The decline in sheep numbers is expected to continue into 1965, and poasibly 1966. However, by 1967 the low point in the current cycle should be reached and numbers probably will bottom out near 23 million head. Whether the sheep inventory will rise much after the low point depends on several factors. On the plus side are: promotion programs to spur sales of land and wool; advances in breeding, feeding and mangement; and a potential gain in demand for lamb and wool due to increases in population and income levels. On the other hand, the competition for use of farmland and the steady decline in use of lamb and wool per capita agrue against and substantial expansion. Per capita consumption of lamb and mutton was 4.9 pounds in 1963 as compared with a 7-pound average in the 19405. Use of lamb and mutton acounted for 3 per cent of total meat consumption last year. In 1945, lamb and mutton’s share was 5 pef cent. The drop is due to both a decline in popularity Os lamb and intense competition from other meats. Mill consumption of wool has been slipping, too. It was 2.2 pounds per person in 1963. down from 5 pounds in the mid-19405. Both wool and cotton are declining in their proportions of total fiber use because of the gain in popularity of man-made fibers. The substantial risk of brought in the major sheep producing western states makes pasture conditions in the future uncertain, too. DID YOU KNOW THAT? Farmers worry about two kinds - of prices — the prices they get and the prices they pay. Production expenses have increased an average of more than 3 per cent annually over the last decade. Through the first three quarters of 1964, total expenses were up 1 per cent of a year earlier. Most of the increase in production expenses during 1964 was due to higher charges for depreciation. interest and taxes. The average price per acre for farm real estate went up 6 per cent in the year ended July 1. 1964 —’ a gain equal to that of the preceding year. The average farm wage rate for the nation is expected to be about 90 cents an hour in 1964. The average wage rate for production workers in manufacturing is $2.52 an hour. Prices paid by farmers for tractors. farm machinery* and equip-

ment during the tint three quarters of 1964 were about 2 per cent higher than in the same period of 1963. Farm real estate levies in 1963 totaled nearly 91.5 billion, up 5 per cent from 1962. Farmers will pay an increase of S2OO milion in interest on their real estate and production loans in 1964. V Farmers paid an estimated $2 billion in premiums for farm business and personal insurance and oscial security this year. Estimates of farm use of fertilizers indicate a gain of 10 per cent in 1964. THE SAFETY COKNEE: Don't be a Christmas statistic—during the next two three-day weekends. — 860 persons died in traffic accidents in 1961 during the two three-day weekends. Accidents can be greatly lessened this year if every motorist will adjust to the fact that driving conditions are at their worst at this time of year — darkness comes early and bad weather can be expected. When driving long distances or just across town — obey the five basic traffic safety rules: — 1. Allow yourself plenty of time tor any trips. 2. Pay extra attention to traffic laws and signs. 3. Adjust driving speed to road conditions. . ' . 4. Be on the alert for dangerous mistakes of other drivers. 5. Don’t try to drive home after drinking — take a cab or bus instead. RULES FOR PEDESTRIANS: 1. Cross streets only at Intersections or crosswalks. 2. Don’t carry so many packages that you can't see where you are going. 3. Remember that you are hard to see at night, especially if you are wearing dark clothing, and that cars on slick or snowpacked pavement need much more space than usual to stop. DRIVE CAREFULLY — WALK CAREFULLY — SAFETY MEASURES MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS
