locations for 1857 new wheat farm
allotments, Leo S. Kolstad, State
Agricultural Sterilization & Con-
servation administrative officer,
has announced.

farmer for 1856, it vas announc-
ed today by the Junior Chamber
of Commerce president, Wayne
Cumming.
The selection is a part of the
third annual nationwide search
to select and honor the nations
four outstanding young farmers
for 1856, conducted annually by
the United States Jaycees in CO.
operation with the American Pc
troleum Institutes committee on
agriculture.
Any successful farm operator
who derives two-thirds of his an
ual income from farming and who
is between the ages of 81 and 35
is eligible for the award. Basis of
judging is outstanding progress in
farming, contributions to the COM
munity and conservation farming
practices applied.

followed quickly by the rest Of
the country.
He said that local merchants
could help by just mentioning
lamb in their advertisements in
newspaper and radio during 1857.
Another suggestion was that res
taurants could occasionally fea-
ture lamb cuts and organizations
could put on lamb feeds in their
fund raising campaigns.
One of the Lion members sug-
gested lamb for school lunches.
The Lamb Feeders Association
was also discussed to show how
much has been done in the past
few years with advertising and
promotion. All lamb feeders can
belong by just sending in one
cent per lamb sold and with ev-
eryone participating they will
benefit immeasurably through
specialized promotion on nation
wide TV, and through other adj
.vertising mediums.
Doctor Bakers talk was re-
ceived enthusiastically by the
Lions club members present and,
as one of them stated: "If you
keep your light under a bushel
basket no one will know it's lit"

Social Security
for
Under II Ages

although the new retirement
test has been in effect almost two
years, our experience shows that
some beneficiaries still don't I'M
derstand it," Glenn Gardner,
manager of the Billings social
security office said today.
"a person under age IL whoeis
receiving social security benefits
is not eligible to receive all of
his benefit checks during a cal
endar year if his earnings in that
year exceed $780," Mr.. Gardner
said.
For each $50 or fraction there
of that the earnings exceed $1,000,
one months benefit check must
be stopped. However, regardless
of how much the persons earn
ings exceed $1,000 he can still
receive his benefit check for any
month in which he neither works
for wages of over $50 nor works
a substantial amount in a busi-
ness of his own. AS an example,
suppose a beneficiary worked
during the months of April thru
September for $500 a month, to
earn a total of $4,000 during the
year, his earnings would be
enough over $1,000 to stop his
checks for those months in which
he worked. However, since he
did not earn over $50 any of the
months in January, February,
March, October, November and
December, or work a substantial
amount in his own business in
those months, he can receive his
social security benefit checks for
those months.
If he had turned 70 years old
in June, only his April and May
checks would have to be stopped.
Not all income will cause checks
to be suspended. Rent, interest,
pensions, dividends, annuities, or
any other type of investment in
come is not counted as earnings"
in this case. Only remuneration
for employment or profit from
self-employment are earnings"
which will cause benefit checks
to be stopped if they exceed
$1,000 during a calendar year.

mittee. composed of Frank Wod-
mix, chairman; Gale Dorm, Albert
Dige, Eugene Wind, Harold Jen-
sen and Ray Smith, submitted ap-
plication blanks to eight local or
CARNATIONS and business estab-
lishments working closely with
farmers. More than twenty nomi-
nations were received by the COM
mittee. From the list Of nomina-
tons, five finalists were selected.
The five finalists yer Arnold
Dige, Curtis Hunter, Harold Fink,
Eugene Wind and Robert johnson.
A panel of community agricultur-
al leaders were selected as judges
for making the final award.
Arnold Dige was raised on an
irrigated farm in Richland Coun-
ty. While attending Sidney high
school Arnold was active in sew
eral FLA projects. Following his
graduation from high school until
1851 Arnold and his brother rent
ed their fathers farm. In addition
to farming they carried out feed
ing operations during the winter.
From 1851 to 1854 Arnold sue
cessfully operated a rented irri-
gated farm and in the spring of
1854 purchased a 70 acre diversi-
fled irrigated farm.
Since moving on his farm in the
spring of 1854 Arnold has made
many improvements in his feed
lots, irrigation system and farm
drainage. He has combined many
small fields to reduce labor and
conserve water. He also follows a
well-planned crop rotation and
fertilizer program. Arnold has
made many feed lot Improvements
consisting of concrete floor alley
way, permanent hunks and auto
matte water system with electric
heaters. These Improvements COM
bined with good feeding rations,
including use of new ant-biotics,
are contributing factors to his Sue
cessful feeding program.
In addition to Arnold's busy
farming operations he also finds
time to participate in community
activity. He was State FLA Off
Ger for two years. He has served
as trustee of the Pella Lutheran
church and is vice president of
Lutheran Brotherhood. He is now
a director in the Beet Growers
Association. Arnold has won a rur-
al identification award on his
farm for the past two years.

DR.. Baker Speaks
At Meeting of
FairvieW Lions

Doctor Don Baker, Sidney vet
e%rinarian, was guest speaker at
the Fairview Lions club Tuesday
last, and his subject concerned
the promotion of lamb and wool
by business men and livestock
feeders in this area. The point
was put forward that the poul-
try raisers had raised the sales
of poultry by 800 percent by
simply helping themselves thru
advertising and promotion. DR..
Baker went on to say that al
though we do a fine job of feed
ing and raise some of the best
sheep in the country, it seems
we hesitate to eat it ourselves
which is a bad situation consider
ing the fact that people usually
take enough pride in the things
they produce to use them them
selves.
The idea that the merchants in
the communities in this area are
service people" was expounded
upon. The merchants supply the
goods and services upon which
the livestock feeders depend and
of course the merchants depend
upon the feeders for business so
it is obvious that if the two
groups work together in the pro-
motion of products grown and
raised in this area, everyone will
benefit. Doctor Baker said that
SO percent of the lambs raised
in the United States is eaten on
the East and West coasts and
only 2 percent over the rest of
the country. If we could only
get people in III own area to eat
lamb just once a week, we would
set an example that could be

County Airport
Is Commended

The Richland County Airport
Commission engineered a very
successful and productive year
during 1856 in a report released
by the Airport Commission. The
local airport, one of the finest in
the state, has facilities available
which will be of help to the re-
Gently organized Sidney Civil Air
Patrol.
The Richland County Airport
now has a completely oiled sur
face of 1850 feet, 1900 feet being
oiled this past summer by the La
londe Construction Company, max
ing the strip completely surfaced.
The ramp and taxiways were re-
finished with a coat of oil. A fifty
foot beacon replaced the smaller
outmoded 35 foot beacon. An out
door telephone booth was installed
beside the terminal, allowing pri-
vate plane operators to call town.
This phone situation was a par
ticular problem especially when
the local terminal was closed. Sew
eral private pilots had to walk
to town.
The reports continued by stat
ing that the county had built a
badly needed bridge across the
gully on the road from the high
way to the airport. This gully
made the road almost impossible
at times during the spring thaws.
Frank Quincy has maintained
the field lights in working order.
John Burns kept the weeds down
and repainted the markers on the
airport.
