Donated Labor
Aids Methodists
On Improvements
Donated labor by 19 men and
youth has resulted in significant
improvements to the Methodist
church parsonage and property,
the Rev. Melvln Dixon, pastor
states.
A total of 1300 hours of labor
has gone Into the projects, the
major one of which is a new
patio-carport behind the parson
age. The building Is 24x36 feet
and will also serve as storage
space for the church and par
sonage. The frame structure is
on a concrete slab, and the en
closed portion Is fully insulated.
Men of the church participated
in construction of a new con
crete front porch on the parson
age. Four upstairs rooms of the
parsonage have been redecorated,
and both the church and parson
age have been completely re
painted on the exterior. A new
wood porch was laid at the
church.
The projects started last fall
with the pouring of the parson
age porch, and the carport, which
was completed at a cost of about
$1500, was started early this year.
Supervising the projects were
Fred Mankin and Fred Gimbel,
both members of the board of
trustees, and the pastor, Rev.
Dixon.
The church entered compe
tition for the Sears and Roebuck
Foundation church improvement
program during the year and
seeks an award on the basis of
the work accomplished. A scrap
book of pictures on the "before"
and "after" will be used as a
pnrt of the church's entry for the
award.

Dr. McMurdo Attends
Seminar on Diabetes
Dr. A. D. McMurdo attended
the third annual seminar on Dia
betes Mellitus at the Hilton Ho
tel in Portland on Saturday. The
seminar was conducted by Dr.
Alexander Marble, internationally-known
specialist on the
subject. Seven other specialists
gave papers, including those by
skin specialists, eye specialists
and others.
"It was most instructive to
see the different lesions of the
skin and eyes with the pictures
in color shown on the screen
during the lecture. This was
without a doubt the most in
structive one day meeting I have
ever attended," the lleppner doc
tor said.
It rained all day and looked
bad for the football game Satur
day night that Dr. McMurdo at
tended between the Dallas Cow
boys and the Los Angeles Rams.
However, it stopped raining just
before game time and held off
through the contest.
The Cowboys were favored to
win, and during the first half
it looked very much in their
favor, but the second half was
a different story, Dr. McMurdo
said. Terry Baker got better pro
tection and the defensive team
of the Rams, which had been
poor, was much improved and
Baker played the whole game
with full charge of running the
team. The Rams won 20-17. be

What About 1964 Wheat Program?
Time is short for winter wheat
producers to consider how their
wheat plantings may affect their
participation in the 1964 feed
grain program.
Many wheat farmers in the
county are also feed grain pro
ducers and as a result are eli
gible to participate in the 1964
feed grain program by diverting
feed prain acreage out of pro
duction. Note the drop in 1964 wheat
prices as reflected by the present
wheat futures market. Currently,
the judgement of the market Is
a July, 1964 Kansas City wheat
futures price of around $1.55 per
bushel. This price, adjusted to
a farm level, reflects a wheat
price of about $1.25 to $1.30 per
bushel.
A 1964 crop in excess of current
disappearance of about 1.3 bil
lion bushels for domestic and
export use will undoubtedly put
heavy downward pressure on
wheat prices, probably forcing
prices down to a feed price level
as the supply seeks a consump
tion outlet.
The 1964 feed grain program
has been designed to reduce
possible expansion of overall
grain acreage. The program pro
vides an effective guide for farm
ers to follow in keeping their
overall crop acreages in 1964
reasonably in line with expected
needs.
While the program provides
flexibility in enabling farmers to
shift acreages among crops not
directlv under the feed grain
maintaining soil -conserving
program, it also provides for
acreage, including summer fal
low and idle land on participa
ting farms at 1959-60 levels. This
will tend to limit acreage ex
pansion, particularly if sub
stantial numbers of wheat-feed
grain producers participate in
the program.
At the same time, payments
for diverting feed grain acreage
to a conserving use, price-support
payments on the acreage seeded,
and the availability of price sup
port will help maintain income.
An added incentive to keep over
all grain acreage in check is
the boost in the payments to be
made for diversion of maximum

All farmers in Morrow county
who intend to seed wheat this
fall and who also plant feed
grain are urged to look into the
possibilities of participation in
the 1964 feed grain program be
fore they complete their seed
ing plans. Even though the feed

early next year, farmers who
plan to participate will need to
keep their fall-seeded acreage
in line with total crop acreage
permitted on their farms under
