Discussing the effects of com
pliance or noncompliance with the
farm wheat allotment. Wilson list
ed the following as the chief ways
in which the farmer can be at
lectcd:
1. Marketing Quotas: If market
ing quotas are in effect for the
19i9 crop, the farmer who is with
in his farm's allotment may mar
ket his entire wheat production
without penalty. The farmer who
is over his allotment will ordinari
ly be subject to a penalty on the
normal production of his excess
acreage. However, any farmer
may harvest up to 15 acres of
wheat without penalty. Also.
farmer with an allotment of less
than 30 acres may apply for a feed
wheat exemption and, if it is ap
proved, may produce up to 30
acres of wheat to be used on the
farm where grown.
2. Price Supnorts: The farmer
who complies with his acreage al
lotment will be eligible lor price
support. The farmer who exceeds
his allotment will not.
3. Soil Bank Payments: The
farmer who complies with his 1959
wheat allotment may earn Con
servation Reserve payments ir
1959. provided he is otherwise qua!
ified. The farmer who exceeds
his allotment, produces more than
lo acres of wheat and is not
participating in the feed wheat
program is ineligible (or Conser
vation Reserve payments.
4. Future Wheat Allotments: For
purposes of computing future allot
ments, the farmer who complies
with his 1939 allotment receives
credit for his full wheat base. In
that way he gets credit for the
acreage diverted from wheat. The
farmer who exceeds his 1959 allot
ment receives history credit only
for the allotment (except that if
the allotment is more than 15
Hcres he may store his excess
wheat under Marketing quota
regulations or deliver it to the
government and in that way re
ceive credit for his base acreage.)
A farmer referendum June 20
will determine whether the 1959
wheat crop is marketed under
quotas. Regardless of the outcome
f the vote, the 1959 acreage
allotments will be in effect.
New Trial In
Kelly Case
Ordered
OKLAHOMA CITY (API-"We
hope for a new life." said Mrs.
Kathryn Kelly last night just be
fore she and her mother walked
out of the Federal Building, with.
out guards for the first time in 23
years.
"I think well find it."
The widow of George (Machine

Dist. Judge W. R. Wallace.
Wallace ordered the convictions
nullified and new trials when U.S.

attorneys were intimidated hv

Pair Held
For Theft
Two men suspected of truck and
car theft receipted for 20-day jail
terms in district court Wednesday

drunk in Klamath Valley Hospital.
The pair, who have used several
names, according to Oregon State

this morning as John Mercado, 26,
and Andrew Gene Soto. 23. They
said their home is in Santa Bar
bara. Their contact with the law be
gan when the flat bed truck they
were riding in went off Highway

here early Monday morning.
The two walked to the station
where an ambulance was called.
State police were also summoned
and confronted the duo at the hos

en condition, officers said.
Mercado was treated for a head
cut and Soto for a lacerated right

were picked up by the truck's
driver, who fled after the accident.
Morcado and Soto gave different
