The financial fortunes Of these
Southern establishments are of
special interest because both are
among those that have begun
serving Negroes for the first time.
Their experiences, Eplrg those of
scores OF other businesses from
Texas to the Carolinas, point up a
significant and perhaps surprising
fact: Among those restaurants,
hotels, theaters and other places
OF public accommodation In the
South that have begun serving or
hiring Negroes, only q few report
suffering any lasting economic
consequences. A Szable number, in
fact, declare that business has been
better than ever.

AS many traditional sources of Negro

where there are expanding job markets.
Among the most important of these Is the
building and construction trades. However,
here where there should be new employ
ment opportunities for colored workers, the
old-line AFT craft unions tradition Of racial

Feed Grain Program
Offers Farm Income
Protection Says ASC

Two important benefits avail
able to farmers for participat-
ing in the 1868 Feed Grain pro-
gram are income protection and
reduced production costs, Fred
Iversen, chairman of the Agri-
cultural Stabilizatoin and Con-
servation County committee,
said today.
He pointed out that the
signup for the 1868 Feed Grain
program now is under way,
and he urged interested grow
ers to visit Asses county office
at an early date to avoid a last
minute rush. The signup ex-
tends through March %.
The reduced production costs
resulting from program parti-
cipation are self-evident, the
chairman declared, since the
grower takes part in the pro-
gram by reducing his acreage
of corn, grain sorghumS, or
barley, by at least 20 percent
of the feed grain base acreage.
Since he plants fewer acres to
the three feed grains, his plan
ting, and other production costs
naturally are less.

white carnation boutonniere.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ronquillo will
make their home in Billings
where both are employed at

The Sidney herald., 1963-02-27

The income protection comes
from the diversion and price
support payments, both OF
which are based on the "nor-
mal' rather than the actual
production of the farms feed
grain acreage. The diversion
payment is figured on the nor
NAL production of the acreage
diverted from production into
a conserving use, and the price
support payment is figured on
the normal production of the
1863 acreage planted to one
or more of the three feed grain
crops. Both payments will be
made regardless of whether the
feed grain is sold or fed 10
animals on the farm where
grown.
A farmer taking part in the
feed grain program also be-
comes eligible to put his en-
tire 1868 production of corn,
grain sorghum, and barley I'M
der the regular price-support
loan or purchase agreement.
Last year, the loan was limited
to the normal production of
the feed grain acreage.
