SOYBEANS
The market for soybeans in
Virginia should remain good
with strong demand. Nationally,
supply is not keeping pace with
the present demand trend.
An Is per cent increase in soy
bean exports is shown by USDA
inspection reports which cover
the current II month period
compared with the same months
OF last year. Increased exports
plus the up trend in crushings
mean a continuation of strong
demand.
Total national supply is only
one per cent above last year. A
record crop Of 727 million bush
els was offset by a low carry
over of 10 million bushels.
Virginia production of soy
beans, million, 154 thousand
bushels, is down % per cent
from last year.
Prices last week were $3.50 to
$2.72 at Richmond, S2.7 to S.. 80
at Norfolk, and mostly $3.50 at
Chicago.

FARM PRICE
OUTLOOK

This is the way prospects for
Virginia farm prices looked to
the Virginia Department OF Ag-
riculture on Friday. The Depart
ment offers it to farmers with
the warning that no one can pre-
dict prices and be right all the
time.)
CORN
Corn prices in Virginia are ex-
pected to remain unchanged for
the short term with only minor
fluctuations likely to occur.
Production of U. S. corn pass
ed the mark of 4 billion bushels
for the first time in history. The
total supply picture, however, is
exactly the same as a year ago.
A decrease in corn carry over
was offset by a gain in current
year production which resulted
in a total supply of billion, 258
million bushels.
The production picture in Vir-
giria is entirely different. The
states corn output as Of Octo-
Der l was right at 1872 million
bushels than half of last
years figure rejecting the ef-
fects of a prolonged we're
summer drought limited almost
entirely to Virginia.

may take two years or more be-
fore being settled and your wife
and family may have nothing on
which to live during this period.
BY making a will you can au-
thorize your executor to pay
your wife certain amount each
month pending settlement of
your estate, or to give her more
money if an unexpected illness
or other trouble should come.
Reason 7. l hope you will
have some church or charities,
as well as friends. to whom you
wish to make a gift. This can
be done only by executing a
will. The only hope of this old
world is religion; and the church
holds the key and is the door
way thereto.
Consult a Good Lawyer
Don't try to make your own
will or codicil yourself to save
q few dollars; but go to good
lawyer. l reread my will once
every year usually on my
birthday nm usually make a codi-
Gil as needed.
The lawyer should be resi-
dent Of your state; laws differ
in different states. He will tell
you how many witnesses must
see you sign your will, and ex-
plain that these witnesses should
be people who are NOT men,
toned in the will or codicils. |
There also are other TECHNICAL
ties which your lawyer will ex-
plain to you.
Finally. let me stress the i'm
portance of letting nobody ex-
cept the lawyer who draws up
the will for you know its con
tents. Sign only the original will
and original codicils, and then
take these sealed with red
wax = to your bank for safe
keeping. getting q receipt. Have
your lawyer make Only the origi-
nal will and codicils, and only
one carbon copy which you can
keep unsigned in your safety de-
pesit box to reread once q year.
The receipt for the original you
can also keep in your safe-de-
post box; but sign no duplicates
Of you will or codicils.
EVEN IF YOU NOW HAVE
ONLY VERY LITTLE MONEY. II
YOU SHOULD MAKE A WILL! 4

your own executor when writing
your will; but I would not let
the executor know what it con-
tains until after your death.
Reason 2. If YOU die without a
will and the court has to dis
burse your estate, it may feel
obliged to advertise for heirs
you might never have heard of :.
Such expense and complications
can be largely eliminated by
making a will and appointing
your own executor. You can
then also provide that the ex-
ecutor give your beneficiaries
property or securities at a fair
value instead of cash.
Reason 8. BY making a will
you can give your executor Ger
tain discretionary powers, like
determining what property to
sell and deciding various ether
things. You can directly win
certain articles Of furniture,
clothing, ETC., to definite people
and be sure things are done IS
you would want to do them

BabsOn Discusses Making Wills

BABSON PARK. MASS. Oct.
IA Everyone should make a
will. and many should now
make a codicil. give here
seven reasons why. Too many
people die suddenly and unex-
pectedly especially in automo-
bile accidents. While Of course
you may live a long life, you
also may die next week. My
wife. after many happy years
which we had together, died sud-
denly a few months ago after
only days Of illness. She had
made her will six years ago;
but I am sure she would have
made many important changes
but was too busy to get to it.
Appoint Your Own Executor
Reason l. To be sure of hav-
ing an executor friendly to your
interests and one who would be
pleased with your will. rather
than having some Judge per-
haps appoint q friend of his as
executor with whom you might
not be satisfied. You can appoint

WASHINGTON. Oct. Pre-
m!er Khrushchev is going to
celebrate the first anniversary
Of his Cuban missile confrOnta-
ton with the U. S. by visiting
Havana.
q. S. intelligence sources say
Nrushcev is expected to fly di-
rectly to Cuba later this month
unless there is a last-minute
switch in his schedule.
Although there are rumors
that the Soviet leader will stop
in New York for a conference
at the United Nations with Yug-
oslav President Tito, none OF
these reports has been confirm
ed by the Central Intelligence
Agency.
Significantly. Khrushchev's vi
sit to Cuba is being timed to
coincide with the arrival of the
first shipload Of wheat purchas-
ed by Russia in Canada for de-
livery direct to Castro.
According to one intelligence
estimate. this Soviet help for the
Sagging Castro regime will be
played up in a major ceremony
to be attended by Castro and
Khrushchev.
The decision to publicly exploit
the arrival of the wheat is part
of Castro's strategy to use Khlu-
shchev's visit to punch new holes
in the leaky U. S. quarantine
Of Cuba. The show is designed
to encourage other U. S. allies
to ignore the quarantine and in
crease their trade with Cuba.
While Iron Curtain diplomats
claim that Khrushchev's visit is
merely in repayment of Castro's
trip to Moscow last spring, U. S.
Intelligence experts are convinc-
ed that the real purpose of his
mission is far more important.
They stress that Khruschev,
faced with growing food short
ages at home. would never fly
off to Cuba unless his trip in
volved a new strategic maneu-
yer on Cuba.
LOOKING 1T OVER-These
Intelligence experts are care
fully checking an unconfirmed
report that Khrushchev plans
to use his Cuban visit to in
spect new hidden sites selected
by Soviet technicians for the in
stallation of Russians largest
ICBMs.
This alarming report, which
came directly from the Cuban
underground, warns that Soviet
survey crews have completed
their preliminary work in the
central mountain region OF Gu
ba. At two of the new sites large
hangar or storage areas have
been cut into the sides of the
mountains.
High-level W. reconnaissance
flights. which now average less
than six a month over Cuba,
confirm the underground's re-
port Of construction work in two
areas. but the CHA evaluation of
the photographs shows no sign
of missile launchers.
State Department intelligence
experts believe that Khrush-
chev's visit is being made for
propaganda and economic rea-
sons. They point out that a poor
sugar beet harvest in Russia
and her Eastern European safe
llites is forcing Russia to pur-
chase all Of Cuba sugar crop,
and Khrushchev is expected to
set the stage for these negotia-
tons.
Under its proposal, Russia

AS History Records It

THIS is a true story
On a cold bustery morning in Jan
uary, young man took the oath of Of
flee as Chief Executive Of his nation
He was 43 years old.
Standing at his side was his predeces-
sor. a highly respected General of the
Armies who just Is years before had
been in command of his Country's forces
when the Germans were defeated. The
new Executive was Roman Catholic
who celebrated his accession to office
by sponsoring party that lasted until
3 am. This Chief Executive owed his
position to a small minority
AS soon as he took office. this Chief
Executive began to harass the big bust
ness firms of his nation by threats.
Later, ignoring the legislative bodies of
his country. he sought to regulate all
activities by executive order.
The constitutional government was
replaced by executive decree.
In order to satisfy the demands of the
minority to whom he owed his position,
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1963-10-15

the Chief Executive condoned mob VIC
lence and endorsed street demonstra-
tons which inevitably led to mass ar
rests. The Government courts invariably
ruled in favor of the mobs and their
leaders, who were released for further
use in later unlawful activities.
Encouraged by his successes, the Chief
Executive introduced legislation favor
ing this minority group. Each piece of
legislation was introduced with back
ground of mob violence and threat of
vast street demonstrations, accom-
panied by singing and civil disobedience.
This Chief Executive established d.
rect communications with the Russian
dictatorship and actively supported a
non-aggression pact with his nations
enemies in the East - the Russian Com
munists.
