speculation on the part of farmers
since barley offers the next best
money crop of wheat under our
dryland system of farming. The
question of what to do with the
large acreage about to be planted
in case there is no support or what
alternate crops may be grown is
puzzling farmers.
Every time PIMA officials meet
they look at the available money,
than at commodities on which sup
port prices are offered. Then they
trim down the list in line with
available funds.

Nickel Losing Popularity
As Paper Money More Used

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The nickel
is losing its popularity. Suffering
from the effects of postwar infla-
tion, the cent piece no longer
pays for subway ride in New
York, bus ride in Washington or
a cup of coffee in many restaur-
ants.
The nickel, however, is not the
only coin that isn't being used as
much as formerly. Government
figures show that all coins are de-
clining in use and folding money"
is gaining.
Even the advent of retail sales
taxes and parking meters in the
last 10 years has failed to halt the
postwar decline in coin usage.
The United States mint delivered
only 149, 064,00O nickels to banks in
fiscal 1949. The peak was 223, ,87O.-
600 in 1945 and the number has
been dropping since.
Production of other coins is off
even more. Banks required only a
third as many pennies in fiscal
1949 as they did four years earlier.
Sixty million half dollars were
shipped out by the mint in 1945; in
1949 only 11,455, 900 were dis
patched to banks.
Meanwhile, the bureau of en-
craving and printing has been hard
pressed to keep up with the de-
mand for currency. In 1947 presses
rolled out 113, 900, 900 sheets of cur
rency, with IL bills on each sheet.
In 1948 the figure jumped to 124,-
900, 1000, and last year the number
rose to 140,OO0,000.
Despite the reduced usage of
coins, congress has been asked
this year to approve at least five
new coins: Three cent, GA, 7, 715 |
and 1912 cent pieces.
However, treasury department |
officials take a dim view of the
ideas, particularly in regard to the
fractional currency.
Cash registers. change makers,
machines and millions of
dollars worth of calculating ma
chimes would have to be materially
altered or scrapped.
Businessmen and the public
would be so annoyed by the coins

them," according to Leland How
ard, assistant director of the mint.
He agrees that the coins would
come In handy for such things as

money are used, but he does not
hink the public wants them.

Farmers Alarmed Over Lack Or
Federal Crop Support In Future

The U. S. department of agri-
culture announced it's flax seed
support program for 1850 to 1851
last week. 1t is the intention to
support flax through loans and
purchase agreements but without
storage payments to farmers. Sup
port prices will be on the basis of
$2.S2 a bushel fob. Minneapolis,
Duluth, Chicago and Portland, Ore.
Last year the price was $3.99. This
price is for No. 1 flaxseed. For No.
2 it is cents less.

LEW WILLIAMS JR. NAMED
 EDITOR OF SCHOOL PAPER

A newspaperman since the age of IA. Llewellyn NJ Williams Jr. has been appointed the new editor-in- chief of the Knight, student news paper of Armstrong College.
 In 1889. Williams parents pur- chased the Wrangell Sentinel. and he became an apprentice printer and reporter. At the same time he was appointed an editor of his school paper, on which he has held almost every type of position.

 On discharge from the army in 1916 he returned to The Sentinel. After a year learning the business he purchased a third interest from his parents and assumed active management.
