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).

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.

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

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.

persons were homeloss to
day because religious fanatics
burned two Orthodox Doukhobor
communities near Castlegra, B.C.
Sunday.
Fires started in four villages
simultaneously but two blazes
were brought under control be
fore they did any damage.
Flames quickly swept through
wooden buildings in the other two
villages and forced men, women
and children to flee for safoty.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
investigating the fires found an un
exploded bomb at one of the vil
lages. The RCMP said arson was
evident in all of the fires.
The Doukhobors, who immigrat
ed to this country at the turn of

en from Russia by the czars, have
a long story of terrorism and ar
son as the sect's members refuse
to change their radical ways of
living.
