PLAN SERIES OF
FAMILY FARM
POLICY MEETS

George C. Schlievert, Chairman
of the Ottawa County Agricultural
Mobilization Committee announced
today that plans are underway
for holding a series of meetings
in the county to give farmers and
other persons an opportunity to
express their views about pro-
grams and policies affecting the
family type farm.
The growth of corporation
farming and the lack of opportun-
ity for young folks to become
family farm owners is matter
of grave concern.
How can a young, farm-reared
couple without credit become
family farmers on their own farm?
How can run down" farm be
brought up to a profitable pro-
duction level by the people who
live on it? Should a farmer be
forced to sell at wholesale and buy
at retail and how can the situ-
alton be overcome?

SPRAYING POTATOES and other
root crops with new chemical called
maleic hydrazide to improve their
storage qualities. The chemical is ap-
piled, not to the vegetables in the
bin, but to the foliage of the crop
four to six weeks before harvest.
The treatment has been tested for
two years at the University of Michi-
gan. Vegetables treated with the
chemical are said to remain firm
and fresh after several months of
storage, while untreated vegetables
stored under Identical conditions be-
come sprouted and shriveled.
DRYING GRAINS by means Of
dielectric radio frequency - heat
ing. The process, still being tested by
USDA agricultural engineers, is said
to show promise for quick, safe dry
ing of grains. Dielectric heating re-
suits when radio frequency energy
provided through a heating circuit
is changed to heat energy in each
kernel. AS the radio waves oscillate
in the grain to be dried they create
friction in the molecules of grain,
which results in heating. The treat
ment may also affect bacteria, molds,
insects and engines that cause stor-
age problems.
