Indiana receives recovery payments

Indiana Agriculture Commissioner, Lt. Governor Robert D. Orr, received a report showing that Indiana farmers have already received 10.4 million dollars in crop recovery payments because of droughts and heavy rains this year. These payments are made on the basis of Federal law and do not require that a declaration of disaster be requested by the Governor. nappaneTADVANCE NEWS 46550 PHONE 773-3127 Entered at the Post Office at Nappanee, Indiana as Second Class Matter Under the Act of March 3, 1879.

The report was made by William Johnson, State Director of the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service. Mr. Johnson also reported on the survey conducted to determine crop damage in each county. The figures on crop Josses—those crops prevented from planting because of weather and the potential resulting losses—were gathered by Indiana’s 92 County Disaster Relief Committees. Lt. Governor Orr on August 16 asked the committees to investigate Indiana's crop damage and expected losses. That action was taken in an effort to obtain the true picture of crop damage which has been suffered this year as a result of too much rain in the spring and the mid-summer drought. This study is required to determine the need for a request for disaster declaration by Governor Bowen. “I want to review this report before making a recommendation to Governor Bowen,” Lt. Governor Orr commented. "However, from our first look at this information, it looks as though seeking the Disaster Area declaration should be the proper course of action. We will make a firm recommendation to the Governor very soon.” (A full summary is attached.) The earlier feeling that Indiana’s crop damage from 1974 weather conditions was extremely spotty and varied, not only from region to region but from farm to farm, was borne out in today’s report. However, the report points out that 48 of Indiana's counties have expressed a desire for Federal Disaster Area designation. Even Indiana is declared a Disaster Area, the Lt. Governor pointed out, farmers must still have certified by the proper state and federal agricultural officials the extent of their crop loss. J D. Thompson, Director of the Farmers Home Administration's Indiana

Office, added that farmers must show they have suffered at least a ten per cent economic loss in order to even file for the low interest loans which are provided by the Disaster Area declaration. “Two things should be pointed out,” the Lt. Governor said. “One is that these low interest (5 pet.) loans are just that. . loans, and not government handouts. They are designed to assist farmers in preparation for getting out their crops for 1975. The loans must be repaid. "Secondly, it is extremely important for all to realize that the amount of crop loss can only be ascertained at harvest time. It's the harvest yield that will determine just how much loss' a farmer has sustained, based on current market prices, his farm’s historical crop yield and historical acreage planted for a particular farm. "We want to emphasize to Indiana citizens that state government is sensitive to this very serious problem. But we want it made clear that each case will be judged on its merit—certification that there is a definite crop loss of ten per cent or more—and that these low interest loans must be repaid.” Thompson pointed out that up to 25 low interest loans can now be made by the Farmers Home Administration without the need for disaster declaration. Should teh loan applications exceed 25 per county, then, to respond to the need, there must be a disaster declaration enunciated by the Federal government.

North Wood news

With the first column now under my belt, it's been interesting to hear the reaction to it. One of the reasons I decided to write this column anonomously was so I could hear the unbiased opinion about it. Comments have ranged from "pretty good" to "it stunk." I’m rapidly becoming an expert at keeping a straight face. So, without further ado. I will attempt to pad along in the footsteps of Jim Murray, Art Buchwald and Dear Abby -0As my second literary masterpiece comes to an end, my advice is: “Hang in there, only thirty three more weeks to go."

This week finding news has been like trying to find the elusive needle in the illustrious haystack. One of the few "hot items” happens to be the rapidly approaching homecoming activities. This year the theme is "PANTHERS NO. I ON TIIK HIT PARADE.” Each class’s float is named after a song title. Last week the classes voted for class attendant finalists. This week we vote for class attendants and queen finalists. The Student Council and all the individual classes are putting in a lot of hard work, and this year's homecoming promises to be exciting. -0The football team once again deserves a hand. Many people can’t decide which is better, the offense or the defense. Credit must also be given to the fans who have turned out in droves to cheer on the Panthers.

Unfortunately, they haven’t been able to find a bus with windows that permit their feet to protrude! -0As I alluded to in last week’s column, NWHS;s music'department is now in full swing.
