Loans-Purchase Agreements Deadline Nears January 31 will be the deadline for price-support loans and purchase agreements on a number of crops harvested in 1963, Cleveland Shuder, Milford, chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation county committee, said today. The crops include wheat, barley, oats, rye, and soybeans. For wheat, compliance with the individual farm allotment is required in order to be eligible for price support on the crop. The chairman reminded growers that good storage, which must first be approved by the ASCS county committee, is a requisite for obtaining a price suppe** loan on any farm-stored cr* r . While the farmer himself is responsible for storing a crop covered by a purchase agreement, the condition and quality of the crop will be a determining factor in the amount of the support he receives should he decide to deliver his crop under the support program at the end of the season. May 31 is the deadline for obtaining price support loans or purchase agreements on corn. The ASCS office also wishes to remind lamb and wool producters of the January 31 deadline for filing applications for incentive payment for sales of wool or unshorn lamb* for the period of April 1, 1963 through December 31, 1963.

And it is these challenges rather than any claim to party seniority or reward that prompt me to accept the pleas of the Committee of 100 for Fortune for Governor to seek the nomination”. "Ignorance and a lack of goals and purposes are our worst enemies and we live in a society too intent on knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing”, he declared.
