AS EVERY WHEAT producer
knows, acreage allotments have
been set and, after an overwhelm-
ing vote in favor of them, quotas
have been imposed on the 1854
wheat crop.
Here is a quick review of fea-
lures of the program that every
wheat producer should understand:
What wheat is affected by the pro-
gram?
Every acre seeded this fall or next
spring, regardless of intended use,
fall. In Montana there are no t.x-
ceptions. Wheat seeded as a cover
crop to prevent erosion, wheat to
be cut for hay, wheat raised for
feed (either straight or in a mix
ture with other grains-(such a
mixture is ''wheat'), w h at
raised for seed-all are included.
Does every wheat farm have an
allotment?
Yes, with one possible exception.
The exception would be the farm
on which wheat was raised for
the first time in 1858 and the
owner or operator failed to apply
for an allotment by June 80, 1858.
Acreage was set aside for such
cases, but June 80 was the dead
line for application. EVERY FARM
WHICH CAN ESTABLISH A
WHEAT HISTORY HAS AN AL
LOTMENT WHETHER OR NOT
THE OWNER OR OPERATOR IS
NOW OR EVER HAS BEEN
SIGNED UP UNDER THE PRO-
GRAM.
Is is acres the minimum allotment?
No. There is no minimum allot-
ment. There is 15-acre minimum
which any producer may plant,
harvest and market without pay
ing a penalty. However, if farm
allotment is less than Is acres and
any more than the allotted acres
are planted, none of the wheat
produced will be eligible for fed
eral loan.
Can allotmenfs be appealed?
Yes, appeals may be made to your
PIMA committee at any time. APP
peals may be carried further to
regional Marketing Quota Review
committees and finally to the
courts.
What will my marketing quota be
for 1854 wheat?
If you seed within your allotment
your quota will be every bushel
you raise on your allotted acre
age.
If you seed over your allotment,
your quota will be the actual
yield or the normal yield OF
your allotted acres, whichever is
the less. Normal" yield for any
given farm is to be determined by
local PIMA committees. Actual
method for determining it has not
yet been announced.
If. when my acreage is officially
measured, If is found that I have
accidentally planted few more
than my allotted acres will I b

Wbat Every Wheat Farmer
Should KnOaV AbOm His
Allotments, Quotas

This is a question the State PIMA
office is trying to get clarified.
Watch for later announcements.
If wish TO market in the fall of
1854 grain from previous years that
have held in storage but not under
loan Or purchase agreement. what
must I do to establish that If is not
1854 grain and not subject to penal
ties?
This is another question which
is yet to be answered.
What is marketing card?
This is a card you will obtain
from your PIMA committee next
fall certifying that you complied
with your allotment and the grain
you are offering for sale, loan or
purchase agreement was produced
on those acres. NO WHEAT PRO-
DUCED IN 1854 CAN BE MAR
KETED WITHOUT THIS CARD.
How do I obtain marketing card?
If you planted within your allot-
ment, it will be issued on applica-
ton.
If you planted more than your
allotment it will be issued for
wheat produced on your allotted
acres after you have cleared your
excess wheat with PIMA.
How do 1 clear my excess wheat
with PIMA?
You can pay the penalty (about
$1-06 busheD on all your excess
wheat. A marketing card will
be issued for that wheat and it
may be sold on the market.
You can store excess wheat on
your farm and a marketing card
will be issued for wheat pro-
duced on allotted acres.
You can put excess wheat in stor-
age and sign bond with a CO.
signor for the amount of penalty
Indebtedness, then agree to re-
duce your next. wheat planting
by the same number of acres you
exceeded in the present year. If
you carry out intentions your
bond Will be released and a mar
keting card will be issued for your
excess wheat.
If for any reason If is announcement
for me TO seed quite all my allotted
acres in 1854 will be penaIized in
future establishments of alIofments?
No USDA has ruled that farmers
who seed between go to 100 per
cent of the allotted acres will not
be pena1ized for such underseed-
ing In the establishment of any
future aIlotments.
What are the main disadvantage:
of overpianting my allotment?
You cannot obtain a loan OF pur
chase agreement on any of YOU
1854 wheat under any circum
stances.
You cannot sell any of your 1876.

all excess wheat.

Ross, Cliff Battles Coach
AT W. Va. WESLEYAN, Dies
By the Associated Press


BUCKHANNON. w. Va, April
3.-Cecil Byron (Cebe) Ross;
football coach at West Virginia
Wesleyan in the late 1920s and
early 1930s when Cliff Battles,
his great halfback, boosted the
little West Virginia school to ma
tional prominence, died here yes
terday of q heart attack. He
was 81.
Athletic director and alumni
secretary at Wesleyan at the
time of his death, Ross had been
with the school almost contin-
uously since he became football
and basketball coach in 1925.
He left in 1912 to coach at Nor
ris Harvey College, Charleston,
w. Va, but returned in 1856
after three years of naval service
in World War II.
Ross Wesleyan teams played
many memorable games, but it
was the fleet. elusive Battles who
projected both coach and school
into the headlines. At the height
of Ross career little Wesleyan
was a gridtron power to be reck-
oned with. In 1925 the Bobcats
upset Boston College, 7-6. They
played scoreless ties with Navy
in 1881 and West Virginia in
1885. They held Army to- a TO
score in 1882 and the following
season upset New York Univer-
Sity, 80.

Horsemen's Cry Over Weights
Recalls Exterminotor's Record

Old-time trainers will tell you
that you can't use Exterminator
as an example. "Old Bones
was a super horse. Carrying 1875
pounds he would win at six fur
longs Monday and at two miles
on Friday or Saturday. He
won at six furlongs, a mile. d
mile and a quarter, a mile and a
half, and two miles. He even won
five out of seven starts at two
and a quarter miles.
Jones FavOrs Ceiling.
It is Ben Jones' idea that no
horse should be made to carry
more than 1870 pounds. Others
have the same idea. Make the
other weights lighter.
Man o. War carried 13O
pounds. no more. six times as a
two-year-old. He carried 1875
pounds and 1873 pounds as a
three-year-old. He carried 100
pounds, or over, nine times in
his career.
There is no way to compare
Exterminator and Man o. War,
Man o. War quit racing at three
years. Exterminator was nine
years old when he retired. He
had a racing record for eight
years.
This new season Mark-Ye-
Well will probably be. the center
of most weight arguments. The
Calumet star already has won
two 100000 races this year. He
may run into trouble at Belmont,
where weights are set heavier
than on many other race tracks.
