Several Rule Changes in Basketball;
One Let's Coach, Players Talk

At least one high school basket
ball rule change this year has
many fans perplexed. It's one
which permits the players to con-
fer with their coach during an in
termission or charged time out,
at or near the teams bench.
In most cases, the cagers SIM
ply line up in front of the coach,
who is free to give them advice.
Although the new rule gives the
coach more control over the
game, it has the advantage of cut
ting down the number of substi-
tutions formerly used for the
same purpose.
Other revisions made by the
National Basketball Rules Com
mittee include a rule that sub
stitutes are not required to re-
port to officials. They merely re-
port to scorers and are beckoned
onto the court by referee, as be-
fore.
Official timeouts in the second
and fourth quarters have been re-
duced to one minute.
Unlike former years, a contact
foul which occurs while the ball
is dead is a technical foul, except
that one which occurs aeter the
ball is in possession of a player
out of bounds for a throw-in is a
personal foul. Otherwise, any con-
tact foul while the ball is in play
is a personal, such as after the
ball is at the disposal of a free
throWer.
This year, all jump balls are to
be tossed in the nearest of the
three circles and after a jump any
player who first touches the ball
after the tap may cause it to go
into his back court. This gives
the jumper the same advantage as

Large-Scale Production Again Seen
On America S Farms For Next Year

American farmers faced a new
year today with plans to continue
lar 6 e-scale production efforts
which made 1948 a year strewn
with broken records.
The men who grow the crops
apparently are holding to that
course even though this years
bumper yields netted them less
actual profit than the smaller
crops of 1947.
They are convinced-or SO it
seems-that plentiful production
will pay off again in 1949 despite
a solemn warning by the govern
ment itself that rising costs and
some decline in farm commodity
prices is likely to reduce the prof
it margin still further,
Official reports on planting in
tentions are not yet in. 1t is gen.
orally conceded, however, that at
least 80,000,000 acres of wheat
will be sown compared with IT,
100000 for this years harvest.
Both high yields and fairly
large acerages were factors in the
huge volume of 1948 crops.
In its final crop report of the
year, the Agriculture Department
again upped its estimate of the
corn yield-this time by about a
100000 bushels. The Department
said the 1861, 100000 bushel har-
vest exceeds the previous record
by about IL per cent.
1t also adjusted the wheat crop
estimate by 100000 bushels and
settled on final figure of S1,288,-
100000 bushels. This was the
second largest wheat harvest in

New Certificates
For G. I. Training
Required After Jdn.

World War IL veterans hold
ing unused certificates of eligi-
bility for G.. /. Bill education or
training issued before Sept. l,
l948, and who are planning to en-
ter training for the first time
after Jan. l, 1949, should exchange
them Immediately for a new
type certificate. The certificates
may be exchanged in person or
by mail at any V. A. office.
After Jan. /, the extent of en-
titlement for training of any vet
eran enrolling with an old certif-
icate must, under new V. A. re-
gistration policies, be verified by
V. A. before tuition and sub
sistance payments may be made.
In verifying entitlement, V. A.
must assign each enrollee a claim
number and set up the initial in
dex record for the veteran.
By exchanging the old certifi-
Gates before entering training,
veterans will enable V. A. to dis
pose of those actions well in ad-

prompt and accurate service
after training starts. ! =
The new certificates will show
each veteran the amount of train
ing time to which he is entitled
and will include claim numbers
to assure speedy Identification.
The new certificates will be ac-
cepted by schools and V, A. with

Farm Financing. Involved Practice,
Explained in New Agriculture Book

Modern farming requires more
and greater skills than almost any
other occupation, and this applies
to the financial as well as other
sides of farming, says F. S. De-
lashmutt, Extension economist
at Ohio State University, inviting
attention to a publication recently
issued by the u S. Department
of Agriculture, called Managing
Farm Finances"
Farmers must not only be ex-
pert in growing crops and raising
livestock-but must also know
how to handle the problems of the
business side of farming, he
points out.
Every year, Mr.. Delashmutt
adds, with farmers capital invest
ments growing and production
costs rising, it becomes increas-
ingly important to establish each
farms operation on sound finan-
cial basis. Major points of good
financial management on farms,
he says, are outlined in this pub
lication.
Suggesting things to look for in
investing money, this new book
let also gives tips on buying a
farm. A section, entitled "How
Much is a Farm Worth?" explains
how to figure the value of a
farm based on annual returns
from the farm and the interest
rate on loans.
