EXCESS WHEAT MAY
BE USED ON CUT
ACREAGE NEXT YEAR
THE ONLY ROAD HE CAN TAKE,.
Excess wheat under 1941 mar-
keting quotas may be converted to
free wheat this fall, Charles Lem-
mons, chairman of the Carson
County AAA committee, has an-
nounced.
The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture has provided that wheat
equal to the amount by which a
producer seeds beloAV his allot-
ment for the folloAving year, meas-
ured in terms of his normal yield,
or the amount his next year’s ac-
tual production falls below the
normal yield of his allotted acres,
may be marketed without penalty.
In clarifying this statement,
'Lemons assumed that a producer
with excess wheat has a 10-acre
wheat allotment and 10 bushels
per acre normal yield. If his
planting were reduced to 80 acres
next year, he would be entitled to
release 200 bushels of excess wheat
from storage as soon as the seedl-
ing was completed and the acre-
age measured. When producers
seed acreage equal to their entire
wheat allotment and actual pro-
duction falls below the normal
yield, the coresponding amount of
excess wheat would be converted
to free wheat at th time the wheat
crop is harvested.
Under present wheat market-
ing provisions, farmers with ex-
cess wheat may store the excess,
secure it by bond or money in es-
crow and be eligible for a govern-
ment loan at 60 per cent of the
regular loan rate on the excess,
or deliver it to the Secretary of
Agriculture for relief purposes. If
the excess wheat is stored, either
in warehouses or on the farm,
warehouse reeipts or a bond or
money in escrow for the amount
of the penalty is deposited with
the county AAA committees. These
deposits are the producers’ assur-
ance that none of the excess will
be sold, fed, or marketed or dis-
posed of in any other way, and as
long as the excess wheat is stored,
no marketing penalty will be due.
“TWENTY -YEARS-AGO ’
IS PARTY THEME
“Twenty Years Ago” was the
'theme of a party given by the
Baptist Women’s Missionary Un-
ion Monday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Clarence Anderson.
The house was decorated with
old-fashioned pictures and guests
wore costumes which they had
worn 20 years ago. Each one
brought a photograph of herself
and was asked to identify those
brought by others.
After motion pictures of the
group were made by Billey Carey,
old-fashioned games were played.
Losers in a game of “spin the
platter,” were required to sing a
song popular two decades ago.
Refreshments were fried pies
and Coca-Cola.
Present were Mmes. Grace Earp,
W. G. Brown, Kate Shaw, Herman
Coe, Neal Edwards, Nathan Ed-
wards, Le Verne Edwards, W. B.
Carey, E. L. Colgrove, I. R. Cle-
ments, M. E. Wells, Bill Simmons,
L. A. Cunningham, A. L. Meek,
W. M. Dittberner, Virgil Coffee,
W. H. Bray, and the hostess, Mrs.
Clarence Anderson.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hexter, of
Chicago, and Mr. and Mrs. Ansel
Hexter of Laeon, 111., were in our
city Friday. They own a fine
farm just over the line in Gray
county.

Brother White Deer
Man Dies Last Friday
J. W. Shieldknight, of Spear-
man, died at his home in that
city Friday night. He was one of
six brothers. L. M. Shieldkinght,
of this city, being one, and who,
with the others, attended the fu-
neral conducted Sunday.
Deceased was the first of the
family of six brothers- to pass
away. He leaves a wife, two
daughters, and a son.
LOANS ON EXCESS
WHEAT TO 60 PER CENT
Loans on excess wheat, which
are made at 60 per cent of the
regular loan rate after the pay-
ment is secured by bond or money
in esprow, may run to April 30,
1943. If farm-stored wheat is de-
livered to the Commodity Credit
Corporation in settlement of the
loan, the 'borrower may collect 12
cents a bushel storage allowance.
Delivery of the wheat in payment
of the loan, however, is consid-
ered marketing and calls for pay-
ment of the penalty unless a re-
lease is secured, the AAA official
pointed out.
Farmers who wrish to sell or
feed their excess wheat may pay
the marketing penalty of 49 cents
a bushel on the amount of the ex-
cess. They will then be free to
market or feed their entire wheat
crops.
Every wheat farm has a Avheat
marketing quota, and the only
wheat that is subject to penalty
when marketed or otherwise dis-
posed of is the smaller of the ac-
tual or normal yield on the acres
in excess of the farm’s acreage
allotment.
Certificates of indemnity issued
to farmers as payment of wheat
losses, may be used as collateral
for wheat loans, according to
Charles Lemons, chairman of the
Carson county AAAeommittee.
“With loan rates higher than
the present market value, it is to
the advantage of insured wheat
farmers to place this indemnity
wheat under the loan,” the AAA
official continued, “and in taking
the loan they not only retain pos-
session of the wheat but are in a
position to sell if the price goes
up.”
Certificates of indemnity are
given producers when the amount
of their wheat losses are deter-
mined by the Federal Crop Insur-
anc Corporation, may be used as
collateral for wheat loans, or they
may be paid immediately in the
cash equivalent.
A recent survey of the state-
ments substantiating wheat loss-
es submitted to the branch offices
of the Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation indicates that nearly
37 per cent of the producers are
requesting immediate cash set-
tlement of their indemnities.

NOV. 30 CLOSING DATE
FOR ALLOTMENTS .FOR
NEW WHEAT GROWERS
Charles Lemons, chairman of
the Carson County AAA commit-
tee, he been advised by the state
office that Nov. 30, 1941, is the
closing date of accepting requests
for 1942 new grower wheat allot-
ments.
Farmers Avho have not planted
any wheat for harvest during
1939, 1940, and 1941, but desire
to plant Avheat for the first time
in 1942, are considered neAV groAv-
ers. The acreage Avhieh neAV grow-
ers Avill receive is taken from a
county reserve, Avhieh in most cas-
es, represents approximately 3
per cent of the county allotment.
All farms receiving Avheat acre-
age allotments for the first time
this year, regardless of the size
of the acreage, Avill be classified as
non-allotment farms. Regulations
also state that the larger of the
A\rheat acreage Allotment, or 15
acres, may be harvested without
incurring deductions. Non-allot-
ment farms will not be eligible for
either conservation or parity pay-
ments, but in case marketing quo-
tas are in effect loans may be
made on that portion of the Avheat
in excess of the farm marketing
quota.
Requests for neAV grower allot-
ments should be filed in the
County AAA office as soon as
practicable, Lemons pointed out,
since no applications may be filed
after the closing date.

BUYING POWER OF
COUNTRY IS GROWING
Buying poAver of the country is
growing—with millions of workers
put back to work and wages of
other millions increased—so that
retail sales are booming, a Uni-
versity of Texas business statis-
tician points out.
■ Living costs, however, may rise
substantially before Avinter, in line
with national curtailment of pro-
duction in consumer’s goods, Dr.
F. A. Buechel, assistant director
of the university’s bureau of
business research, warned.
He predicted continued rises in
business activity, as he looked to
unprecented retail selling, along
with still brighter agricultural,
mineral, and industrial pictures.
Texas’ composite index of busi-
ness activity is now 16.5 points
ahead of last year, the university
bureau reported, and is still ris-
ing. .
