The commodity programs are ; designed to reduce excessive stocks, cut government costs, and maintain the general level of farm income. Farmers who participate will receive diverted acre payments, price support payments, and they will be eligible for price support loans. Officials estimate about three fourths of the total U. S.

; harvested cropland acreage will be affected through decisions of owners to participate in the programs. In 1964, wheat was harvested on 49 million acres, feed grains on 100 million acres and another 37 million acres of wheat and feed grain cropland was diverted to conservation uses under the program. The 1965 winter wheat signup was conducted last Aug. 24Oct. 2. The current signup is for spring wheat farmers. The department said 780,916 farms There were 1.2 million producers who participated in the 1964 feed grain program and 1 585,000 in the 1964 wheat pro-

The Indiana lawmaker sent the survey to a crosssection of Hoosiers asking them to comment on various issues facing the Congress and the country. Assisting the Senator is his secretary, Miss Mary Kay Lambert, of Indianapolis.

It may be astonishing to many that Lincoln wanted to compensate the Southerners for the emancipated slaves. Furthermore, that he sought resettlement of the freedmen somewhere outside the U.S. At the time he issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, in Sept. 1862, he had negotiations going on for concessions of land in Central America to which freed slaves could be sent. (The negotiations aroused protests of Central American republics.) That year. too. Lincoln sent a message to Congress, "In my judgment, gradual, and not sudden, emancipation is better for all.” The message called for gradual emancipation with compensation.

Farmers taking part in the 1965 wheat and feed grain pro-

grams may substitute non-sur-plus crops on land diverted from wheeat and feed grain production. These crops are sugar, sesame, safflower, sunflower, castor beans, flaxseed, and mustard seed on feed grain

FAS said production to unreported areas, such as Red China. Eastern Europe, and parts of Africa probably would bring the world total production up to near 120 to 180 million hundredweight.
