Program Details
Unless the present drift is
stopped, it promises to become
worse and threatens the entire
feed grain and livestock indus
try. 1t ultimately threatens the
consumer as WELL" Secretary
Freeman has said.
Cooperators must divert at
least 90 per cent of their 1880
average acreage of corn and
grain sorghmns to soil-conserv-
ing uses. and they may divert
additional acreages under GER
tain conditions.
The payments will be in the
form of negotiable certificates
for which producers may receive
grain or a cash equivalent.
The program is voluntary. but
noncooperators will not be eli
gible for price support on corn,
grain sorghum. oats. barley or
rye of the 1861 crop.
Payment rates are based on
production averages established
for each county and the county
support price. The USDA- assign
ed production averages for Her
aid area counties are:
Production Rates
Prince Edward. 38 bushels per
acre: Amelia. 40.5 bushels per

Quite A Surplus!

Government stored stocks of
corn and grain sorghums are SO
large that it would take nine
years to dispose of them, accord
ing to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
Thus, on a firSt-in. first-Out
basis, the excess 1861 crop would
have to be stored for that long
before it would be disposed Of
Under the old program, with
corn price support at a national
average of sl05, estimated costs
to the taxpayer would have been
approximately $500 million for
acquisition of 1861 and prior crop
resealed grain and 1859 million
for storage, handling, transporta-
ton and interest costs during the
9 to IL years prior to dispo-
sition.
That's a total outlay in public
taxes of SIS billion. Agricul-
lures woes are everybody s
woes. The USDA estimates the
new feed grain program will cut
this cost by $500 million.

NAACP Complaint
Charges To Be
Heard Tuesday

With their case against the
absence of public schools al
ready a d m i t e d as part OF
Prince Edward county's deseg-
regation suit, NAACP attorneys
today Tuesday, will seek to be-
gin demolishing the county's
year-old method of supporting
private schools.
Today's request before Judge
Oren R. Lewis in Federal Dis
trict Court at Richmond will ask
the court to restrain the State
and County from:
Cn Spending public funds
for the direct or indirect sup
port of any private school
which excludes Negroes for
reasons of race;
~ Spending public funds to
aid or reimburse persons for
money paid as tuition to any
private school that excludes
Negroes by reason of race,
and
go Granting tax credits to
persons who pay or contribute
to any private school that ex-
cludes Negroes by reason Of
race
County To Oppose
Judge Lewis will hear argu-
ments by NAACP attorneys sup
porting the contention that these
matters should be made part of
the Prince Edward case. Attor-
ney General A. S. Harrison, Jr.,.
and Collins Denny, Jr., attorney
for the county school board. and
attorneys for the board of super
visors, will oppose the Courts &C
cepting these new questions as
part Of Prince Edward county's
long standing public school suit.
Today's arguments over the
three new issues arise from the
NAACP's request to add to. or
amend, its complaint lodged in
June, 1860 which seeks to have
the Court order Prince Edward
county to:
"a stop refusing to operate
public schools. and

make it possible for these ques-
tons to be argued at a suitable
