COUNTY AGENT’S
CAPSULE COMMENTS
By John Campbell
WHEAT AND BARLEY. —
The following information
will outline briefly provisions
dealing with wheat and barley
portion of the 1961 Federal Ar-
dicultural Act. The President
signed it into law this August
4th.
The wheat stabilization pro-
gram authorized contingent up-
on the expressed voice of wheat
producers. It will be available to
all commercial wheat areas only
if two thirds of the eligible pro-
ducers voting in the August 24
referendum vote “yes”.
The wheat section of the law
provides a mandatory 10% re-
duction in the 55 million acres,
total allotment. This means a re-
duction of 51/2 million acres in
the 1962 U. S. wheat crop.
Basis for figuring the amount
of acreage to be diverted under
the program is different for:
(a) farms having planted for
harvest more than 15 acres of
wheat in the past three years,
and (b) farms having planted
15 acres or less in these years.
Keep in mind that the 1962
farm wheat allotments will be
10% below the old allotments
whether the referendum carries
or not.
For the “more than 15-acre
group” meaning those having at
least 13.5 acres, 1962 allotments
(the payments will be made for
complying with the 1962 allot-
ments and devoting to conserva-
tion use, the 10% wheat acreage
diverted.)
For the producers having “not
more than 15 acres”, the pay-
ments will be made for diverting
to conservation uses at least 10
percent of the highest wheat
acreage for harvest in either
1959, 1960 or 1961; or for com-
plying with the 1962 wheat al-
lotment and putting the divert-
ed acres to acceptable uses.
Payments for minimum diver-
sion will be made in cash or in
wheat equal to 45% of the 1962
county price support for No. 1
wheat times the adjusted yield
for the farm multiplied by the
number of diverted acres. Pro-
ducers will be encouraged to di-
vert voluntarily as much as 30
per cent additional of the
farm’s wheat acreage to conser-
vation uses. For the farms of
not more than 15 acres, a mini-
mum of 10 acres diverted is set.
The payments for such addition-
al reduction will be figured at
60% of the basic county support
rate for No. 1 wheat.
The barley portion of the pro
gram is similiar to that al-
ready set up for corn and grain
sorghum.
Barley base acres for a farm
is the average acreage produced
on the farm in 1959 and 1960.
The minimum acreage that will
qauhfy a farm for participation
is 20% of the barley base. For
example, a farm with a 25-acre
base would divert five acres, at
least, from the production of
barley to conservation uses.
The largest acreage on a
farm that can be diverted from
barley production to conserva-
tion for payment is the larger
of 20% of the base or 20 acres
plus 20% of the base. For ex-
ample, a farm with a 30-acre
barley base could divert from
barley production 20 acres plus
20 percent of the base, or 26
acres. In no case can the diver-
sion be more than the base.
Payment rates for the barley
acreage diverted will be based
upon the normal barley yield
times the percentage of local
county support rates, just as the
1961 procedure for grain and
corn.
More detailed information on
these programs is available
from the county ASC officers.
Certain questions on compli-
ance have not been fully clari-
fied, but should be available
soon.
4-H. Mark Rausch, a 7-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert
Rausch, is a new member of the
Comfort 4-H Club. Mark will
feed out two Delain Cross lambs
for the January country show.
Sharon Collins reports that
her Hereford calf from the T. I.
Harkin ranch is eating well but
is not as gentle as the Hereford
she got from her grandfather,
Walter Esser last year.
Mary Phillip’s father, Harold,
reports that she persuaded him
to let her feed a calf instead of
club lambs this coming year.
Local resident, Retired Gen-
eral C. C. Chapman attended a
two-day short course on horse
management at A and M college
in June of this year.
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Sparkman
returned on Friday from a trip
thru Arkansas. They visited
Hot Springs and the diamond
field at Murpheysborough. In
Natches, they visited the Civil
War battlefields and Ante Bel-
lum homes. While on this trip,
Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Wood of
Houston, looked after the Spark-
man Ranch.
ELECTRIC CO-OPS ARE
BUILDING A
Ask Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister what
the electric cooperative has brought.
Mom will vote for running water and
an all electric kitchen.
Dad might say air conditioning and
refrigeration.
Brother probably lists Television and
his Radio.
Sister likely will choose her hair dryer
and, much as she hates to use it, the
vacuum cleaner.
But there are many, many other appli-
ances and work saving devices each
could choose, all made possible by
the electric systems of which they
are member-owners. Rural people bor-
rowed money to build their own elec-
tric systems and they are proud that
their efficient low cost electric service
is Building a Brighter Tomorrow.
