HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) Each
Wednesday morning, some h r g
dozen high-ranking Army. officers
gather before a television screen
at Fit Knox, Ky, TO watch a pri-
vate spectacular.
The three-hour show, originating
from Station OGMS-TV at Redstone
Arsenal in Huntsville, has all the
trimmings of commercial TV-ex-
cept a general audience. Its star
is a missile.
The production is called PM
Preventive Maintenance Indicator.
1t dramatizes the Army's missiles
and the men who launch them and
keep them in readiness. 1t solves
a training problem.
Three years ago the Army decid-
ed that its field officers, in their
refresher courses at Fit Knox,
should be briefed on missile devel-
opments. But the Army's missile
program stretches from Paris to
Kwajalein in the South Pacific.
1t appeared the Army would have
to fly them to various missile in
stallations. But transport to one in
stallation for a single days instruc-
ton could cost 81, 500 or more for
travel alone.
An alternative would have been
TO set up the missile systems at
FIT. Knox. But to set up at FIT.
Knox a big missile like the Red
stone to name only one could run
into millions of dollars.
Then it was decided to transmit
the training programs on closed
circuit Tv from the Army Ordnance
Guided Missile School at Redstone.

~ THE clAMouRous RAILROAD ERA
Following the Civil War, from
1875 to 1900, most of the specula-
ton was in railroad stocks. New
mileage was constantly being built,
due to the large immigration and
cheap labor. accompanied by good
crops, which helped railroad earn
ings. The Northern Pacific stock
sold at $1,000 share. There was
much talk about railroad CONSOLE
dations, and the stock market was
especially bullish over a proposed
merger of the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern. and Burlington
Railroads.
Then, suddenly, the Supreme
Court issued decision preventing
this consolidation. This caused a
quick drop in all stocks in 1907.

EIGHT-YEAR TREND

Are presidents elected for four years
actually chosen for eight? This opinion
is held by the new census director, Richard
M. Scammon, who has specialized in cleo
ton research.
In a Chicago talk he said that the
opposition no longer has much chance to
unseat president The chief executives
activities affect so many people, and he
gets so much public notice, that as an
incumbent he starts a campaign with an
almost insuperable advantage over any
competitor.
Scammon therefore thinks President
Kennedy's chances for reelection in 1864
are excellent. He could be endangered only
by a great party split such as defeated
President Taft, a depression like that
which ended Hoover's presidential career,
or a major loss of national prestige. Had
Nixon won in November, he would have
enjoyed the same advantage as Kennedy.
Thus we are moving into a cycle, says
Scammon, with relatively close elections
alternating with decisive victories. If this
is true, Nixon might be well advised to
postpone his second race till 1868. Yet if
he did, he might find that the 1864 COP
nominees though defeated, had a strong
lead for the 1868 nomination.

Higher Price Supports Offered Farmers Who
Cooperate In 1861 Feed Grain Program

A new feed grain law was en-
acted in March, 1861. It repre-
sents an effort to reduce SUR
plus stocks of feed grains and
ultimate costs of handling these
stocks to taxpayers. +
Under this new law, a feed
grain base acreage will be de-
termined for farmers who have
been growing corn and grain
sorghum, explained DR.. Rupert
Johnston, agricultural economist
of the Agricultural Extension
Service. This base acreage will
be determined by the acreage
of orr and grain sorghum
grown during 1859 and 1860.
In order to obtain a price sup
port on corn or grain sorghum
in 1861. a farmer must partici-
pate in the new program, DR..
Johnston added.
The minimum participation is
20 per cent of the base acreage.
A farmer may put up to 40 per
cent of his base acreage in the
program. The acreage included
in the program must be divert
ed to a conservation use.
Besides his base acreage fol

corn and grain sorghum, each
farmer will be assigned a "pro-
ductivity index" This index is

COTTON

Continued rains in most areas
of the county are still delaying
the planting of our cotton. Do
not become panickv and try to
plant while your soil is too wet.
1t is still not too late to plant
cotton. BY planting early matur-
ing varieties, using seed treat
ment and chemical weed control
along with a complete insect
control program can assure you
of a quick crop.
Cotton planted between May
10 and May 29th should make a
near normal crop, if protected
from insects in the early stages
SO that your cotton plants will
not be retarded.
There are several early matur-
ing varieties such as Fox, Fox A,
Stoneville 1902, Delfos 9169, and
possibly several others that
should be planted if you have
to delay planting after May 10.
All of our normal varieties
such as Cocker, DPL Is, Stone
vile Z, DPL Smoothleaf etc.
should make a normal crop
planted between now and May
10. But if planting after May
10 it would be advisable to
plant an early maturing variety.

Parallel FIanmrini,q
Used On Cotton
In Delta Tests

Use of flames to control weeds
is being extended to cotton in

flaming has been limited tc

raj years ago.
Agricultural Engineer R. f.

have recently reported on their
tests at the Delta Branch Ex-
pertinent Station at Stoneville
They compared the conventional

inch stage.
Both flaming treatments were
more effective when combined
with use of pre7emergence chem
icals than when used alone.
BASED on 1860 data, a pre-
emergence application coupled
with one or two parallel flam-
ings between the stages of four
to u inches. followed by cross
flaming thereafter, is a promis-
ing system for weed control in
cotton.
Smother possible program is
to start flaming parallel to the
row when the cotton is -four
inches tall. Then turn the burn

Each county will have two
county average rates of pay
ment per acre for corr and two
for grain sorghum. One rate will
be based on so per cent. and the
other on 60 per cent of the
county normal yield per acr
times the county support rate.
Farm payment rates will vary
according ito the FARMS produc-
tivity in relation to the county
average productivity and the
number of acres diverted.
The minimum acreage for di-
version from either corn or
grain sorghum or both will be
figured from the farm base"
determined from the total
acreage on the farm used in
producing these two crops in
1859 and 1860. The minimum
reduction is 20 per cent of the
base, and the maximum depends
upon the size of the farm base.
Farmers who are interested in
participating in the 1861 feed
grain program are urged to get
in touch with the ASC county
office immediately for further
information.
