Four county boys affend annual youth range camp Wheat farmers to yote Thursday on market quotas for 1962 crop By Gayl.rd P. Godwin UPI Staff Wrll.r WASHINGTON. (LTD - Wheat farmers will vote in a national referendum Thursday on whether government controls in the form of marketing quotas will be in effect for the 1962 wheat crop. The vote also will decide wheth er the special wheat stabilization program spelled out in the new farm law will be used in 1962. At least two-thirds of those vot ing must approve quotas if they are to be put into effect Quotas have been in effect for the last eight crops. In previous referenda, there was no special stabilization program riding in the balance. The Agriculture Department es timates some 900.000 wheat farm ers are eligible to vote in the 39 state commercial wheat area. How many of these will cast their ballots is problematical. Higher Vote Shu Officials expect considerably more than the 201,000 ballots cast in last year's referendum. This expectation is based on a guaran teed price support rate of $2 per bushel and the promise of Agri culture Secretary Orville L. Free man that grower income will be increased 10 to IS per cent from the 1962 crop over what could be expected if the present program were continued. Freeman has campaigned wide ly and vigorously for a large and affirmative vote. He made three major speeches at Oklahoma City, Nashville and Minneapolis to department field personnel urging adoption of the special program designed to "increase farm in come, reduce excessive buildup of supplies, and reduce government storage costs." In addition, he conducted numerous news confer ences at which he plugged for a large "yes" vote and consequent use of the special wheat stabili zation program. This was considerably different from the tactics of former secre tary Ezra T. Benson. Benson never urged farmers to vote either for or against quotas. He didn't believe marketing controls were the right approach to help solve farm problems. All farmers who produced more than 13.S acres of wheat in at least one of the last three years are eligible to vote except those in the 11-state non-commercial wheat area. The non-voting states are Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Massa chusetts, Nevada, New Hamp shire, Rhode Island and Vermont. If marketing quotas are approv ed in the referendum: , Price support at a national average rale of $2 per bushel will be available to those producers in the commercial area who comply with their acreage allotments and who participate in the special wheat stabilization program. May Earn Payments Wheat growers who cooperate with the special program may earn payments for diverting a portion of their wheat acreage to conservation uses. All farm wheat acreage allot ments will be reduced 10 per cent, providing a cut of 5.5 million acres in the previous minimum allotment of 55 million acres. If quotas are not approved: Price support at 50 per cent of the parity price will be avail able only in the commercial wheat area and to those farmers who comply with their 1962 acreage allotments. One-half of the July, 1961, parity price of a bushel of wheat was $1.18. There will be no wheat stabil ization program providing pay ments for diverting acreage to conservation uses. The lower acreage allotments will remain In effect for the 1962 crop as a condition of eligibility for price support There will be no restrictions on marketing of wheat and no penalties on "excess" wheat ("Excess" wheat is that produced on farms which exceed their acre age allotments). THIRTY BEGIN TRAINING WASHINGTON (UPI) Thirty men and women will begin train ing today at Putney, Vt, for Peace Corps service in East Pakistan. Safe landing made by plane ATLANTA (UPI)-A Delta jet airliner with about 100 persons aboard made a safe emergency landing Saturday at Dobbins Air Force Base on the outskirts of Atlanta. The huge aircraft had radioed it was having difficulty with its hydraulic system and requested permission to land. The flight was Delta 820, bound from Los Angeles to Atlanta, via Dallas, Tex. An airline spokesman said the passengers were met at Dobbins by a bus and taken to Atlanta Municipal Airport Fire trucks and other emergen cy equipment were rushed to the scene. The big jet circled the field for about a half hour dumping fuel. The first report that the plane was in trouble came about 10:15 a.m. EST. It touched down safely about 10:40 a.m. Representing Deschutes County at this year's Youth Range Camp were Doug Holly and Larry Fies of Bend, and Lynden Sanford and BUI Yocom of Redmond. The camp was held early in August at the old "P" Ranch on the Malheur Wildlife Refuge south of Burns. In contests held at the camp, Doug Holly placed second in the Grand Contest. In this contest, boys located and gave the common and scientific names of as many as possible of 100 range plants found in the area. A total of 48 boys from 15 East ern and Southern Oregon counties attended the camp. Those attend ing were selected through plant identification contests in their county, or on the basis of leader- Russia thought secretly testing nuclear weapons WASHINGTON (UPI) Three Democratic members of Con gress believe Russia is secretly testing nuclear weapons In viola tion of a 34-month test morator ium. The three Influential legislators said Sunday the United States, therefore, should seriously con sider resuming atomic tests. Rep. Chet Holifield, D-Calif., chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, said President Kennedy feels the same way. But, Holifield said. Kennedy Is "willing to walk the last mile to obtain an agreement" at Geneva on a nuclear tost ban. Holifield, said in a radio inter view that he had advised the President to follow a formula of "test and talk." He said this would Include resumption of un derground tests while continuing to explore possible agreement on test ban with Russia. Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo., expressed a similar feeling. Sym ington, in a TV interview, said "of course" Russia has been con ducting secret tests during the Geneva test ban talks. He declined to give the source of his information. He said the United States would find itself In a "really difficult, if not hopeless position" If It con tinued its voluntary test suspen sion while the Russians secretly conducted nuclear tests. Sen. John Stennis, D-Mlss., said the United States should resume nuclear testa now because It Is clear Russia never will agree to tost ban pact Hope for tax cut dashed WASHINGTON (ITU - The Berlin crisis dashed hopes for a federal income tax cut next year, according to Commerce Secretary Luther H. Hodgos.

"At this moment I don't see much chance of thai," he said, because of the military build up I ana oiner costly outlays to coun ter communism throughout the world. DROPS IN UNEXPECTEDLY SIIOHEHAM.

Each boy at the camp received a scholarship from local sponsors to cover costs of attending the camp. Sponsors in Deschutes Coun ty included the Redmond 4-H and FFA organizations. The camp Is sponsored each vear by the Pacific Northwest section of the American Society of Range Management. Main purpose of the camp is to give boys a chance to spend a week living out of doors in range country, giving them a better outlook on plant and animal life. At the camp, boys slept out of doors under the stars, and all in struction was on out-of-door sub jects. The game refuge, surround ed by grazing lands and valley meadows, gave the boys a large laboratory in which to study. During study sessions, the boys learned to identify and describe various plants found on the range, studied sou and range judging, took part in discussions on con servation and wildlife manage ment, and received instruction in photography, fishing, hunting, camping, and hiking. On the side, the boys managed to squeeze in a little soft ball, horseshoes, and other camp games. Around evening campfires, the boys learned more of the work of the range management society, held special contests, and even had a "tall tales" contest. Major emphasis at the camp was set by the plant description con test held the first day. In this con test, and all during the camp, boys were urged to keep their eyes and ears open and to obsorve, ap preciate, and remember what was going on around them.

(UPI) -Fifty persons were homeloss to day because religious fanatics burned two Orthodox Doukhobor communities near Castlegra, B.C. Sunday.
