Support
Limit Applied
To Barley

A farmer who wants nonrecourse
,rice support on barley in excess
Of $4,000 next year must reduce
his 1860 acreage of the crop 20 per
cent below his 1859 acreage and
otherwise be in compliance with
price support regulations, Leo S.
Kolstad, State Agricultural Stab
ilization and Conservation admin
:strative officer, has announced.
The same regulation had al
ready been announced with regard
to wheat for 1860 harvest.
Under a new law, Kolstad ex-
planned, nonrecourse price support
to any one person on any crop
declared to be in surplus is limit
ed to $4,000 unless he reduces his
production of the crop by an
amount determined by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture. The Secretary
has declared barley to be in sur
plus supply and has set the pro-
duction adjustment at the maxi
mum of 20 percent fixed by the
law.
The $4,000 limitation applies
only to n%onrecourse price support.
Loans will continue to be made in
excess of this amount provided the
borrower agrees to repay every
thing above $4,000 within IL
months. The limitation, Kolstad
added, applies 20 individual per-
sons, not to individual farming
units.

ally important because many of the
problems of today touch their
Lives closely. Science is an essent-
ial element in maintaining and
improving the democratic way of
life; 1t will not be enough to have
a small portion of the population
educated as scientists, to be truly
strong; an entire nation must be
converSant with science. Ach1ev-

suited to the elementary school

Miss Bentson further stated that,
Rural schools are particularly
adapted to teaching the broad pat
terms of science and to the building
Of a poised, well balanced yet
realistic outlook upon the modem
world.
Miss Bentson also stated that
science is not z difficult subject to
teach, and does not require elabor-
ate or expensive equipment 1T the
elementary level. That teaching Of
science in the elementary shools,
is chiefly an awakening OF the real
tiles which surround u and our

legislation pending on this subject.
The Agricultural Appropriations
Act for 1850 contains the following
provision: "In establishing annual

such rental rate shall be establish

value of the acreage offered, such

Many problems have been encount-

particularly In areas where
drought and other natural disas-
ters have unusually affected crop
yields during one or nor of the
past five years.
Farmers who have already filed
applications for basic rates need

Seek Use of Natl Quarry Lake
As Village Recreation Facility

Ohio Power company officials
and the village council to see if
an agreement can be worked out.
The power company owns the
quarry property, which was at
one time leased to the Sports
mems club for fishing purposes.
This was discontinued after cer-
tain equipment was placed in the
lake as a part of the Woodcock
generating plants cooling sys-
tenn. 1t was felt by the Central
Ohio Power company, then owner
of the lake, that it would be too
hazardous to permit continued
fishing.
Since the Woodcock plant is no
longer in operation, it is believed
an agreement for use of the
water for boating and fishing
might be approved by the new
owners.
The quarry at one time pro-
vided excellent fishing. Plenty of
blue gills, and bass exceeding
five pound weight, were pulled
from the waters.
Enthusiasm is high among
local sportsmen for getting per-
mission to use the facilities.
Large size of the lake would
probably permit some power boat
use.
John Gilbert will represent the
Sportsmen's club on the COM
mittee, with Mayor David L.
Riser agreeing to serve for the
village, and Clayton Bixel for
the Business Mems association.
