Mr.. Khrushchev, in recent
conversations in Moscow with
visiting American officials, in
dicated he considers main
tenance of Russia's armed
force too expensive for the
Soviet Union because OF its
domestic economic problems,
particularly in agriculture.
United States officials found
Mr.. Khrushchev pre-occupied
with his domestic problems.
Mr.. Khrushchev did not indi-
cate whether he intended to
use the reduction In armed
forces to seek further cuts in
United States and other West
ern armies. but in the past the
Soviet Union has announced
cuts, then pressed the West for
similar reductions.
Russia announced plans In
1860 10 cut its armed forces
from a claimed 3.6 million 10

Soviet armed forces are

peak Of about Is million men
in 1945 but had been cut back
to about as million in 1856.

Cotton Release DeadIine Saturday;
A5CS Officials Ask For Action

With only two and one
half days remaining before
the deadline, Holmes County
farmers are urged by Agri-
cultural Sterilization Conser-
vation Service officials to re-
lease their extra cotton acre
age. Thus far 900 acres have
been released, compared to a
total of 12,600 requested in
the county, according to w.
P. McWilliams, manager of
the ASCS office.
Mr.. McWilliams also stated
that this years number of
released acreage is approx
mately 400 acres behind last
years figure. On tn e state
level there have been $4,000
acres requested and to date
only $4,000 have been re-
leased.
In 1862 Holmes farmers
failed to plant approximate
ly 1892 acres therefore caus-
ing a loss of about $203, 900
due to not planting acres
which could have been plant
ed.
Unless cotton acreage is
released it is possible to lose
history of cotton planting on
ones farm and allotments
will become smaller in the
future BY releasing tn e
acres a farmer is not going
to plant he can maintain his
present allotment.
Reapportionment will be
made OF the released acres
upon completion of the sign
up by the ASCS County
Committee. Added a II o t.
ments will be given to the
The Lexington advertiser., 1963-03-28

farmers who will be sure to
plant every acre they get.
Therefore all cotton plant
ters of Holmes County who
do not intend to plant all
of their 1863 cotton anot-
ment are urged to go by the
ASCS office today, or be-
fore noon Saturday, Marcn
30th, without delay and re-
lease the unwanted acreage.
use 1T = release 1t - or
lose it is the slogan adopt
ed at a statewide meeting
for an about effort to OBJ
tain full use from the 1868
cotton acreage release and
reapportionment program.
All cotton interest groups
and agricultural agencies are
participating.
Mississippi cotton farmers
failed for various reasons last
year to plant about $4,000
available acres. This is a loss
of at least S18 million.
Cotton is a big business IN
Mississippi. The value OF the
cotton lint and seed produced
by farmers of the state IN
1862 was 1913 million. This
was about "A per cent OF the
S729 million estimated cash
sales from crops and live
stock by Mississippi farmers
last year, an all-tlme high.
An added reason for plant
ing all available acres is the
Il per cent reduction this
year in the states cotton al
lotment. This figure is
| .545,29 acres for 1868.
Holmes County farmers are
also reminded that Saturday
noon is the deadllne to put
their grain in the Feed Grain
Program.

By FRANK SMALL

Jess Angstman of Havre was in
vited to speak from the rostrum of
the Senate Tuesday. He had been
former member of the body and
was we'll known for his stories. After
a couple of raucous ones he told one
of those inscrutable tales. His mother
had supposedly complained about
what thin rabbits the boys were
bringing in for the stew. So the
brothers trained their dog Tim to
run along side of the rabbits and feel
their sides to bring in the fat ones.
Tim got to be able to run SO fast
that he passed the rabbits by and
the boys had to resort to using their
shotguns again.
What do you make of the parable?
Jess is ON the Welfare Board and
something must have been on his
mind.
Something has been on my mind
also. My editors.
I was told that I've got to get more
depth in my reporting of this Legisla-
ture. But like Jess's mother, the rab-
bits so far are awfully thin for a
good stew.

the Governors State of the State mes
sage where we are going to have a
program to give medical assistance
to the aged. And not a cent from the
costly mean old federal government.
So Tuesday afternoon I started to
feel the ribs of the rabbit. Nothing
N the budget. Nothing in the Gov
ernor's office. Nothing in the bills
so far introduced. Nothing in the
wind Nothing when the quarters that
know were checked.
AS you know the Kerr Mills law
is on the books and the state could
match federal money for limited as
sistance to the aged but this is not
what Tim Babcock was alluding to
in his message. We are supposed to
have a broad social program built
ON a population which has an above
average amount of old and young
while the productive age group is less
than average in numbers and income.
Why would he propose such a
thing if legislation had not been
figured out and talked over with
other people

the Governors face. The doctors will
care for the aged but they have to be
paid. Where is the money going to
come from to pay for socialized medi-
cine in Montana?
Jess Angstman, lawyer, did not
leave the Senate Chambers I'M
because when remembering
about the building of the Governors
mansion he said that they had to APP
more money because of the
plumbing. He said that he would
rather have a burglar at night than
two plumbers by day.
Senator Reardon from Silver Bow,
4 plumber, bounded to his feet and
said that it was better to have 400
plumbers in the house than one . :.
