n w... mendations and Precautions In
The program was announced
after President Truman signed
legislation letting the Commodity
Credit Corporation provide stor
age for farm products.
The program provides:
(1) "Distress" price support
loans will be made on grain piled
on the ground or In temporary
storage facilities pending con
struction of permanent storage to
care for it.
(2) Loans will be made to farm
ers for building new permanent
farm storage facilities. Up to 85
per cent of the cost of the fa
cilitle will be lent.
(3) CCC will construct 50,000,
000 bushels of bin-type storage
facilities at country points to sup
plement 45,000,000 bushels of such
storage already owned by it.
Under the "distress" loan phase
of the program, farmers may ob
tain loans equal to 75 percent of
me price support on grains siorea
in the open, on the understanding
tnat they build or acquire satis
factory storage for the grain with
in 00 days.
Heretofore, price support loans
nave been made only on grain
stored in satisfactory permanent
storage facilities.

here as highly attractive to farm
ers. Grain men here relt the new
program, announced by the Ag
riculture Department would cause
wheat, to be held back on farms.
It should prevent markets from
becoming glutted and prices from
slumping sharply below govern
ment loan levels, they said.
Here is how grain men reason
the program will work:
1. The farmer can let his newlv
narvesien wnem. lie unprorecrea
in a field for 90 days. During
that period, he will get a loan
from the government equal to 75
per cent of the government price
support level. That would amount
t around $1.42 a bushel in the
southwest.
2. The farmer then can build,
within the 90-day period, bins on
his farm to store the grain. For
inn, ine government will loan
him 85 per cent of the building
cost. Meanwhile, if the wheat
plied on the ground deteriorates
the government will foot the bill
lor that loss.
3. When the farmer Hu the
bin built, he na tl hi wheat

men, I more titan anouerh to cov

The result 1s that It's te the
farmer's advantage to build the
bins. In effect, he get them for

Prior Approval
Needed To Obtain
ACP Assistance
To be eligible for assistance
under the 1949 agricultural con
servation program, prior approv
al by the county Agricultural
Conservation Committee is re
quired.
Special attention Is called to
the prior approval requirement
by J. F. Bonehrake, chairman cf
the Douglas County ACP Com
mittee, so that farmers will car
ry out the practices as required
to qualify for program assistance
before prior approval is granted.
The chairman states that there
are certain specifications which
must be met. Assistance is Dro-
vlded only when the conservation
practices come up to definite
standards.
Mr. Bonehrake exdalns that
the county committee, in decid
ing where available funds are
to be used, and the farmer who
accepts the assistance are both
under obligation to "give value
received" for the funds used for
conservation. For this reason
standards approved by qualified
technicians are used as' guides for
the practices indicated.
Prior approval Is one of the
ways the committee has of de
termining the kind of conserva
tion work the farmer intends to
carry out. Then the committee is
responsible for seeing that the
conservation carried out meets
the approved standards before
the practice is certified for as
sistance. .
The chairman states that farm
ers carrying out conservation
practices, also, are required to
maintain these practices. Farm
operations which nullify previous
conservation practices may result
in deductions from current prac
tices may result in deductions
from current practice payment.

National Referendum
On Wheat Controls Set
WASHINGTON. .7im n jdi
The Agriculture Department has
juiy as tne tentative date
for a nation-wide farmer rr.
erendum on rigid production
controls for the 1950 wheat crop.
Final decision on whether con
trols will be proposed by Sec
retary Brannan awaits an esti
mate of this year's wheat crop.
The purpose of controls would
be to keep supplies from be
coming too large and too de
pressing on grower prices.
Quotas would have to be ap
proved by at least two thirds of
the growers voting in the referendum.
Wheat Marketing
Quotas For 1950
Are Necessary
All indications point toward
the need for wheat marketing
quotas on the 1950 crop, J. f,
Bonebrake, chairman of . the
Douglas County ACA commit!.
stated today. If wheat quotas are
voted in, it will he necessary for
1950 wheat growers ,to plant
within their allotments In order
to avoid marKeung penalties.
Wheat growers who are seed
ing wheat for the first time in
1950 or growers who have ,not
seeded wheat in any of the years
1947, 1948 or 1949 must requas'

er than June 25, the acreage that
they want to seed for 1950 in or
der to be considered for a wheat
allotment. This Includes farms
that were contacted in the wheat
acreage survey recently .
The chairman pointed out that
any grower who exceeded his
wheat allotment would not only
have, to pay a marketing penalty
for wheat harvested, on the ex.
cess acreage in event of market,
