MAJOR role of rescue and mercy
IN the aftermath of a great ca
,ast'ophe.
AS this column has related
before. in the early days Of
motordom the automobile was
viewed with doubt as useful
and reliable transportation.
Many regarded motoring as
something for the idle rich to
play at.
No less person than Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson himself
once blamed the automobile for
the spread of Socialistic feel
ing" He later changed his
tune, however, when the autos
usefulness was dramatically
demonstrated during World
War |. But generally motoring
at the turn of the century was

The notices are being mailed
so that wheat growers will know
of their 1862 wheat allotments
before voting on August "a in
the 1862 wheat marketing quota
referendum.
Notices will show allotments
computed under the recently en-
acted Agricultural Act of 1861
which requires a mandatory re-
duction of 10 per cent from the
allotment which would otherwise
have been determined. Allotment
notices also have a square new
this year, for showing the market
ing quota exemption applicable
to the farm. Smaller farms will
have entries showing the exemp-
ton applicable to the farm. Larg-
er farms will have an tx" indi-
eating there is no exemption APP
plicable because the farm allot-
ment is 1875 acres or more.
Momberg reminded wheat grow
ers that all persons who will be
affected by marketing quotas II

by law would be available TO
those who stay within their 1862
acreage allotments. Fifty per
cent Of the July parity price for
wheat was Sl.l8 a bushel.
In further explanation of the
program. Momberg stated that il
requires a mandatory reduction
Of 10 per cent in acreage allot-
ments established on the bases
Of the present 55-miliion acre
national allotment. The 10 per
cent reduction is applied to all
farm wheat allotments and the
reduced allotment only will be
shown on notices mailed TO farm
ers.
IL quotas are approved, pro-
dueers may divert from wheat as
much as 80 per cent additional
Of their allOtments, with small
farms permitted a total reduction
Of up to 10 acres in line with
the farms wheat history.
Conservation payments would
be made to producers for these
reductions If quotas are in eff
feet. Payments per acre for the
mandatory 10 per cent reduction
would be equal to IS per cent of
the county price support rate
times the adjusted yield per acre
for the farm. For the voluntary
reduction up TO an additional 30
per cent of the farm allotment,
payment will be at so per cent
Of the support rate times the ad-
justed yield per acre times the
diverted acreage. Payments may
be either in cash or in wheat.
Advance payments equal to
about half the conservation pay
ment to be earned can be made
at the time of signing up for the
program.
Acreage diverted from wheat
production must be devoted to
approved conservation uses in.

Grating producer will also be re
quired TO maintain on his farm
a total acreage devoted to con-
servatiOn uses - excluding the

grain program - equal TO the av-
erage acreage devoted to conser-
walton uses on the farm in 1859
and 1860.
Concerning changes in market
ing quota exemptions, Mr.. Nom
berg emphasized that there will
be no l5-acre per farm exemp-
ton for 1862. The exemption
next year from marketing quo
tas for those who planted be-
tween 13.5 and Is acres during
any one of the years 1859, 1860
or 1861 would be decreased to
1875 acres. For those who have
planted less than 1875 acres in
any of these three years. the
exemption would be the highest
planted acreage during any one
of these three years.
A producer who did not plant
wheat in any one of these years
would be subject to marketing
penalties IL he exceeded his al
lotment.
Momberg also said that each
producer would be advised of the
marketing quota exemption APP
plicable to his farm by an entry
on the wheat allotment notice.
II quotas are approved. an in
creased penalty rate will be in
effect and the amount of wheat
subject to marketing quota pen
alties would be assessed on dou
BILE the normal yield of the ex-
cess acres. However, the excess
could be adjusted to not less
than the actual yield on the ex-
cess acres If the producers could
establish that his yield was be-
low normal.
With these important questions
to decide, Mr.. Momberg urged
Glacier county farmers to study
them carefully before voting on
August "a. All producers who
would be subject to marketing
quotas will be eligible to vote,
provided they have produced
more than 1875 acres of wheat in
at least one of the three years
1850. 1860 or 1861, excepting pro-
ducers who have feed wheat ex-
emptions for 1861.

Wheat Allotment
Notices Will Be
MuiIed This Week

Notices showing 1862 wheat
acreage alfotments will be mail.
ed Friday. August Is, toi all
wheat growers in Glacier county,
KYLE Momberg, chairman of the
County Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation committee, said
The Glacier reporter. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1953-current, 1961-08-17

Provisions Of the new wheat
sterilization program which will
be offered in 1852 IL wheat mar
keting quotas are approved by
farmers on August "a were dis
cussed this week by Mr.. Nom
berg. chairman of the County
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation committee.
Also reviewed were changes in
wheat allotment and marketing
quota operations which are con-
tanned in the recently enacted
Agricultural Act Of 1861. He en-
phaSiZed that changes regarding
allOtments will become effective
regardless of the quota referen-
dunn but that quota changes will
affect producers only If two-thirds
Of the producers voting indicate
approval Of q quota program.
The chairman summarized the
new program and the choices fac
ing wheat producers as follows:
10 Marketing Quotas Approved
/ COOperstOrs in the program
who comply with their 1862 al
lOtment would be eligible for
price support at a national aver
age Of 50 per bushel. This repre-
sents ga per cent Of wheat par
ity and compares with the 1851
crop price support Of Si.7s per
bushel
2. Producers who participate in
the 1862 wheat sterilization pro
gram would be able 10 market
their 1862 production without
penalty.
3. Producers exceeding their
1862 acreage aIlotments or per
mitted acreage would be required
TO satisfy a marketing penalty
obligation before any of their
wheat can be marketed. They
would not be eligible for price
support.
~ Marketing Quotas
Are Not Approved
!. There would be no controls
on marketings for the 1852 wheat
crop If quotas are disapproved
in the referendum.
2 Price support at only 50 per
cent Of parity level as required

basketball season is primarily a money
making venture to bankrol the confer
ence II mas to have some draw, so the
conference championship is thrown in as
the prize
This renders the regular season as moth
ing more than long warmup 1t makes 1t
possible for team 10 lose every regular
season game and then be declared the
conference champion by virtue Of three
wins in the tournament
This is ridiculous. as Cardinals Coach
Frank Mcclure has repeatedly pointed
out
There is legitimate need for confer
ence commissioner and an office and they
cost money. But there ought to be bet
ter way to raise it. If the money has to
be raised through a basketball tourna-
ment, then we would like to suggest that
it be played at the beginning Of the sea-
son, when fans probably would turn out
in satisfactory numbers just to see what
the race promised If not at the start Of
the season, perhaps right after Christmas,
replacing the Dixie Classic which has
turned out to be financial plum.
Since the original concept Of amateur
sports is now archaic and collegian play
ing basketball just for the fun of it is an
anachronism, prospects seem dim for a
different tournament arrangement.
Nevertheless, the University should be
congratulated for pulling out, even if it
is just for one year, and for the wrong
reason.

"Hawk-eyed," d" on the other hand, qua

image, too, will be exhaustiVeIy tested to-

Since Chapel Hill is a more or less
"egghead" town, and since both protes-

lated to eggheadedness (well, at least
they're closer u it than footbrldge build

good idea, because it provides CON

certainly be the result if the two teams
were called "academicians" and the

The six stalwart University Yolks have
stated their eagerness to JOIN combat
with the Fourth Estate Whites in the fol-
loving poem, composed by one OF their
number which we think particularly eX-
pressive of our image-testing theme:
"The thoughts of Us professors are con-
sidered metaphysical

some neWsmen think dizzical,

Right Move, Wrong Reason

The University at Chapel Hill has de-
cided not to help raise money in March to
run the Atlantic Coast Conference com
missioner's office
The University didn't phrase its deci-
sion exactly that way 1t said it was pull
ing the Tar Heels, who are on the NCAAs
quarantine list, out Of the ACC basket
ball tournament as a sporting proposition
the odds looking very good that our in
eligibles would knock off the team which
would eventually represent the confer
ence in the NCAA's gala
Aside from craftsmanship, Cardinals
decision to stay home can make quite
depression in the conference p0cketbook.
With seven teams in the field instead Of
eight, the number Of games will have to
be cut, and the absence of Carolina, the
fourth-rsnking team in the country,
crimps the draw.
But Cardinals decision not to play
ought to result in something more than
putting the commissioner on a little tight
er budget. 1t ought to put the first skid
under the tournament as it is now play
ed. 1t probably won't but it ought to, just
the same.
A tournament, ideally, should decide
which is the best team. 1t would be nice
If it could be presented at the same time
as sports entertainment.
1t is pure coincidence when the ACES

lifications. ------'-- '-
