us warm throughout the win
ter months.
We sincerely hope that you
are planning to return to the

have a bigger and better pro-
gram in store for you. Our
esteemed friend, bro. Sarich

Al condition, the better to
welcome and receive you.
What say, kids. Talk up
this camp amongst your
young Croatian friends who
have never been to the CF'U

excitement, thrills and men,
cries which will linger with
you for many years.
We truly have an organiza-
ton you can well be proud Of.
It is your Camp, so take ad-
vantage of it for nowhere in
this great land of ours can
you match the offer extended
to you for SO low a price. We
mean the quality of our food,

WOOD CHIPPING AND
WOODCHUCK
CONTROL DEMONSTRATIONS

The New CASTLE County Exten-
Sion Service in cooperation with
the New Castle County Soil Con-
servation District and the Fish and
Wildlife Service is planning wood
chipping and woodchuck control
demonstrations in the near future.
These demonstrations will be held
on the farm of Steven Barczewski
near Glasgow on Route 40.
Farmers of New Casle County
will be particularly interested in
these demonstrations as these are
problems that most of them have.
Livestock bedding is problem of
increasing Importance. The chips
can be used for cattle and also for
poultry. They can also be used for
mulch.
Wloodchuck lamage is particu-
larly interested in these demon
strations as these are problems
that most of them have. Livestock
bedding is a problem of increasing
importance. The chips can be used
for cattle and also for poultry.
They can also be used for mulch.
Woodchuck damage is particul-
arly heavy in some areas in the
county. Injury to corn, truck
crops, and young fruit trees is SER
ious. Clover, alfalfa, soybeans and
other legumes are particularly at
tractive to these rodents. Truck
gardens suffer most heavily.
County Agent Edward Schabin-
ger urges all farmers to attend
these demonstrations. The exact
time will be announced at a later
date.

SURPRISES

1T is QUITE obvious that we are pro-
ducing too much wheat and corn. Gov
eminent acreage controls, marketing
quotas and any other control programs
that are inaugurated may relieve the
symptoms, but the chances are slim
that controls will cure the disease. 1t
seems that it is up to the man in the
field to regulate his production to fit
the demand.
If enough WaShington-run controls
and regulations are heaped upon agri-
culture, progress will stop and our eff
ficiency of production that has made
us the most prosperous farmers in the
world will disappear. Even today we
have indications of declining production
efficiency in agriculture. There is a
huge surplus of grain, while there is a
shortage of grass, hay and legume and
grass seeds.
In these times of overproduction and
impending low prices, the chance of
maintaining or increasing our prosper
ity doesn't seem to be too great. Work
ing hard to produce more of products
in surplus doesn't seem to be the an
Swer. Reducing our acreages of one
crop and switching to others, holds only
limited possibilities. Reducing costs
of operation may help some.
Much land that has been raising grain
would produce good improved pasture
There will be a continuing need for
grass, since the production of ranges
continues to decline. The cost of fenc-
ing and developing water may be a
problem.
Time spent raising wheat with heavy
equipment pays more dollars per hour
worked than any other farm endeavor.
Like the high wage jobs of well organ
lied labor groups, the pay is fine, but
there aren't enough of the high paving
jobs so we can all have one.-Arthur ID.

AllOtments Unfair
To Small Producers

I READ YOUR editorial regarding
Grain Producers" in the Sept. 1 issue.
No one seems to grippe through your
paper over the unfair way Secretary
Benson has allotted grain acreage on
the same ratio for the big producers
and the family size farm.
The big producers are responsible for
the large surplus of wheat. One grower
in Washington has 100000 acres and
some Montana producers have about
as much. We little farmers with lust
enough to make living are cut down
to where we can't raise enough to make
living.
My allotment this year was IA acres
and it will be IL next year. I would
like to see Benson live on the income
from II acres of wheat and pay taxes
and expenses for one year.-Ira Myers,
