"Direct payments earned by the farmers contribute a sizable amount to the farm income, but the stabilizing features of the pro gram have added many thousands of dollars to the value of farm product. We believe that these features are more Important than the payments, which are mostly for specific work performed, in Increasing farm Income." The conservation materials program-Including- phosphate fen tlll.crs and limestone,, seed pur chase program, and marketing quotas are other parts of the broad national farm program which are ' helping farm e r s achieve these goals, the chairman said. ' "Commenting on the food-for-defense program Mr. Nichols de clared that Douglas county farm ers, wllh fertility reserves stor ed in the soil as a result of soil building practices, are supplying their share of the increased pro duct ion of the foods needed.

S. C. extension service. More than 100 fat lambs were, separated- Into several market grades by Harry Lindgren, ex tension animal husbandman. The Danish method of judging pro vides for the grading of animals into groups according to their value for the use Intended. In the case or fat lambs usual grades are choice, good and me dium with segregations made ac cording to confirmation, finish and weight. Outstanding lambs were selected from the choice group for special recognition as extra choice lambs. The extension service officials believe that this method of judg ing livestock will gain in popu larity and use and that this tvoe of show has outstandine educa tional value since the club mem bers can observe how well their lambs meet present market de mands. At the end of the show a lamb sale was held at which the best 19 lambs were sold individuaily at auction, while the remainder were sold according to grade, af- lording club members a chance to observe the usual commercial practices. A second lot of lambs j owned by Baker county 4-H club members will be sold three or four weeks after the first show, I when they have reached proper market quality. Livestock authorities compare the marketing of meat animals with the marketing of straw berries. They say that certain lambs are ready to sell at a cer tain time, just as some straw berries are ready to be picked. If green or over ripe berries are of fered for sale the gower' loses, and, similarly, if lambs are sold that are not ready for market the producer pays for the error. Bill Seeks Marketing, Quotas for Irish Spuds CORVALLIS, Aug. 11 (API A bill pending at Washington, D. C, would establish marketing quotas for Irish potatoes for pro ducers of more than three acres, the slate AAA office announced here. The bill provides for proclama tion of quotas by the secretary of agriculture not later than Sep tember 15 of each year subject to approval by growers at a refer endum not later than September 30. As with the recent wheat marketing quota, a two-thirds fa vorable vote would be required. Army Will Again Buy Horses in West States SALEM, Aug. 11.

Farmers Build New Bins in Reply To Wheat Haul Ban KANSAS CITY, Aug. 11. 'API Railroads clamped an em bargo on wheat shipped to Kan sas City elevators for storage, but that didn't stump Kansas and Missouri farmers. They hauled out carpenter tools and constructed hundreds of new bins and renovated old farm buildings. With cash market and government loan prices flirting with dollar-plus figures, they re fused to chance weather loss by dumping valuable grain on the ground. With the 1941 winter harvest virtually completed, a survey dis closed today that with the excep tion of the Garden City, Kans., area, where a small amount was stored, no wheat was piled on the ground In Kansas this year. Although a majority of oublic elevators are nearly f I ed. -the I survey showed an acute storage problem virtually was nonexist ent In the two states. Besides the farmers' own bins, a small but constant movement of wheat into consumptive channels and a dis appointing yield in some areas has helped the storage situation. Railroads, mindful of defense program needs and wary of ty ing up their cars with wheat, placed the embargo in effect July 14. - ... Trade observers expected the embargo to force farmers to sell more wheat on the open market. But farmers are holding on to most of their grain, waiting for higher cash prices or for approv ed storage facilities so they can obtain government loans. The lodn rate for the Kansas City ared is S1.10 a bushel. Cash prices here yesterday were S1.0GJ a bushel for No. 2 ordinary wheat, the basic grade. Deadline for 1942 Crop Insurance Is Cited With August 30 as the final date for taking out crop insur ance on fall wheat, the state AAA office is staging a campaign throughout the state to acquaint all wheat growers with orovis- ions of the new simplified crop ' insurance program. Three major improvements in the 1942 program are being call ed to growers' attention. Thev are as follows: 1. Provision for payment of premium with a non-interest-bearing note signed at the time of application. The note may be paid by the grower any time be fore August 18, 1942. After that date It will be deducted from his AAA conservation payment or wheat loan. 2. A single application form, executed by one signature, which insures all of the farmer's inter est in the wheat crop. 3.

Ucented Lady Awlttint Any Distance, Any Time Our aervice la for ALL, and meete EVERY NEED Wheat Program Reminder Given Douglas Growers Wheat growers were remind ed In a statement issued yester day by B. F. Nichols, chairman of the county AAA committee, of provisions whereby those farm ers who have stored excess 1941 wheat under marketing quoTas may seed below their 1942 aver age allotments and obtain re lease of the stored wheat for marketing without payment of penalty. Mr. Nichols pointed out that the farmer who stores excess wheat may take out of storage and market without penalty ex cess wneat equal to the amount by which he reduces his' follow ing year's seedings below his al lotment, measured in terms of his normal yield, or equal to the amount his next year's actual production falls below the norm al yield of his allotted acreage. Where seedlncs are below the allotment, the county committee will release a corresDondlne amount of .1941 excess wheat as soon as the seeding for the year is completed and the wheat seed ings measured. "This means," Nichols said, "that in cases of fall-seeded wheat, a farmer may convert his excess wheat to free wheat lale this rail. However, in cases where spring seeding Is possible, the county committee will retain the bond or other security posted by the producer until -it is de termined that no more wheal will . be seeded." Mr. Nicnois gave as an ex ample a farmer with excess wheat who has a 1942 20-aerc wheat -allotment and a 20-bushel-per-acre yield. If he reduces his seedings to 15 acres, he will be entitled to release 100 bushels of excess wheat from, storage (normal yield from 5 acres).
