opportunity for the people?
Secretary Freeman explain
ed that there is the equivalent
of 100000 underemployed
persons in the rural economy.
Over half the people in this
country who live in poverty,
he said, are located in rural
areas. And % million, or al
most so percent of the Nations
farms, produce only Is percent
of the total production.
I'm addition to efforts to
make farms large enough to
provide an income adequate
for the needs of the farm fami-
lies" said the Secretary, "we
are encouraging the establish
ment of factories and CONNER
cial enterprises, including rec
reation facilities and tourism.
whcih provide alternative job
opportunities in the rural COM
munities to give employment
where needed"
Continuing, he pointed out
that the way to create greater
opportunity for rural America
is to devise policies which
bring new resources to rural
people rather than attempt to
move the people to cities.
Another effort he listed as
already underway is the es-
adjustment of training pro-
grams in order that the nor
NAL flow of people from rural
areas can compete in accord
ance with their capabilities
and not be required to take
low-paid jobs in town because
of lack of training and educa-
ton.

Moving New Resources in Instead
Of Moving People Out Seen by
USDA Secretary as Way to
Fight Rural Poverty

Making the most effective
use of the resources of rural
America involves enabling PEG.
pie who live on the land to
stay there by moving new re-
sources to them rather than
moving people to urban cen
ters, said Secretary of Agri-
culture Orville l.. Freeman last
Monday.
He vas speaking before the
National Conference on Land
and People here in the De-
partment auditorium with
more than 600 persons in at
tendance from almost all of
the so States.
Putting the purpose of the
conference in the form of a
question, the Secretary asked,
How should public policy be
designed to encourage the
maximum effective use of re-
sources in rural America to
serve all Americans?"
Then he raised three other
questions around which he
built most of his talk: %
What shall we do about find
ing ways to make better use
of our good land which is pro-
ducing more than we can eff
fectively use? He pointed out
that 90 percent of the farms
produce 81 percent of the agri-
cultural output.
90 What shall we do about
the rapidly developing appetite
for recreational resources and
more green areas in our grow
ing citiesP And 90 what shall
we do about bringing new re-
sources into rural areas to be-

tee. according 10 announcement
from the State ASC office.
Removal came after a thorough
review of the written charges
made against the committeeman

and letters which they submitted

tor. Removed from office are

uittee duties when the suspen'
sions were announced is now in
charge of the administration of
the programs at county level
Chairman BrOadhead was elect
ed first alternate TO the county
committee at the county COnyen'
ton last December. while Sven
son was elected second alternate
at the same time by the delegat'
es from the three Glacier coun-
" ASC communities.
Ringing pointed out that the
former committeeman had the
right TO appear before the State
committee at the time Of their
suspensions were reviewed but
that they voluntarily waived this
right Of personal appearance.
In ordering removal Of the
committeeman, the State COM
mittee found that they had re-
fused to issue notices Of 1862
feed grain base acreage, yield
and payment rates to Glacier
county barley growers on the
basis of the barley yield deter
mined for the county under the
provisions of the existing law.
Instead, the former committee
men, with full knowledge that
the official county barley yield
was 364 bushels per acre, issued
notices showing for each prOduc-
er an average yield of 47.3
bushels.
Ringing explained that the eff
feet Of these actions was 10 mis-

price support will be available
only on the normal production
Of the barley acres. He also ex-
planned that the failure to issue
notices based upon the correct
ed yield and prior to the close
of the sign-up period last fall de-
prived Glacier county farmers
of information essential to their
decision on participating in the
program. .
Participation in the 1862 Feed
Grain program is voluntary.
Farmers who participate in the
diversion program are eligible
for payments for diverting acre
age from barley production and
for price support on the normal
production of their barley acre
age. Those who participate in the
mailing barley exemption pro-
gram are not required to divert
acreages from production and
will be eligible for price support
on the normal production of
their barley acreages. Farmers
who do not choose to participate
in either the diversion or the ex-
emptiOn portions Of the barley
program are not required to
limit their acreage and are not
eligible for government price
support.
Ringing pointed out that the
removed committeeman have the
right to appeal their removal
within 90 days.
An individual removed from
ASC office for cause Is ineiigi-
BILE for reelection as an A s c
county or community committee
men or for employment by an
ASCS county office. Removal
does not affect their eligibility
for other federal office or en-
ployment. Eligibility to serve as
an ASC county or community
committeeman or in a county
ASCS office may be restored IL
there Is sufficient justification.
Producers in the mailing bar
ley exemption program may in
crease their barley acreage up
to 10 per cent above their farm
base provided that only eligible
mailing varieties are grown.
Participants will be eligible for
government price support on the
normal production of their bar
ley acreage but will not earn
diversion payments.
Barley advance payments, COM
puted on the same basis as for

that II is a standardization of in
tentions and that producers may

ASC Committee
Summarizes Feed
Grain Programs

A standardization of intended
participation in this years wheat
sterilization and feed grain pro-
grams was issued this week by
the Glacier County Asses office.
The sign-up to participate in
these programs ended April 16.
The summary shows that oper-
ators of 205 wheat farms intend
to reduce their wheat acreages
this year by 10000 acres. OF
this total, 4,6l9.4 acres is the
minimum reduction required on
each farm where the operator
desires to earn payments and be
eligible for wheat price support.
The additional acreage repre-
sents diversion from 1862 allot-
ments or from the wheat acre
age on non-allotment farms. The
intended diverted acreage repre-
sents approximately 23.4 percent
of the Glacier County 1862 wheat
allotment.
Advance payments totaling s16,-
1894 have been made 10 sign
ers under the wheat sterilization
program. These represent ap-
proximately half the diversion
payments these producers may
earn by carrying out their inten-
tons.
Glacier County is also eligible
under the 1862 Glass III durum
program and % producers have
requested increases in their al
lotments of durum wheat this
year. Increases in allotments for
these farms will total 1913
acres. Producers participating in
