Farmers Will Be
Compensated For
Wheat Acreage
Compensation to farmers for
reducing their 1957-crop winter
wheat acreage below their
wheat allotment, designating
such acreage for inclusion in the
Stoil Bank’s Acreage Reserve
Program, will be in the form of
negotiable certificates, Earl Mar-
tion. Chairman of the Moore
County Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation Commit
tee, has announced.
The certificates are redeemable
in cash through regular banking
channels, or they may be re
deemed in grain by the producer
to whom they are issued. The
certificates will be issued after
the county ASC Committee can
determine that the acreage-re
duction requirements of the pro
gram have been met.
Martin explained that the
amount of compensation for
wheat on the farm will be deter^
mined by multiplying the base
unit rate per bushel for the coun
ty by the smaller of (1) the nor
mal yield for the farm or (2) the
normal yield for the land desig
nated in the agreement as the
acreage reserve; this figure will
then be multiplied by the num
ber of acres determined as the
hicreage for compensation. The
base unit rate per bushel for
Moore County is one dollar and
thirty-three cents ($1.33).
Except that the wheat acreage
placed in the acreage reserve for
a farm may not exceed the

Rotary Speaker
Gives Background
On Suez Canal
Arch Coleman of Southern
Pines, noted lecturer, told mem
bers of the Southern Pines
Rotary Club Friday that the out
come of the present Suez Canal
crisis will reflect on the opera
tion of the Panama Canal.
Coleman, a student of interna
tional affairs, traced the early
history of the Suez in trying to
arrive at some explanation as to
the present international crisis
there. The canal, he said, was
first opened in 1875 for interna
tional shipping and had seen
very little trouble until 1954.
The British, he pointed out,
had never wanted to take part
in the operation of the canal and
had only gone in to protect an
investment of 135,000 shares of
the original stock issue for the
canal construction. Just prior to
the canal’s construction the ruler
of Egypt had been faced with a
comparatively small debt of
some three million pounds ster
ling and the Egyptians needed
some way to raise money.
Sale of stock in the proposed
canal was a “natural,” Coleman
said.
In the original agreement be^
tween the Egyptians and the
other nations taking part, the
canal could be used by any na
tion as long as acts of aggression
were avoided.
And the British, occupying the
canal from 1882 to 1954, managed
to keep the international diplo
matic and shipping interests hap
py with their methods of opera
tion.
But Premier Nasser started
claiming the Canal should be na
tionalized in 1954 and the British
stepped out.
Coleman said that Nasser’s
principal interest in nationaliz
ing the canal was to help the
Egyptians out of their economic
misery. In a population of 20 mil
lion, he pointed out, 16 million
are living on a hand-to-mouth
basis and are receiving inade
quate food and shelter.
Though the speaker did not
say so, diplomatic officials in this
country are expressing concern
over the fact that the U. S. oper
ation of the Panama Canal close
ly parallels that of the British
operation of the Suez. So^me con
jecture has it that if Nasser wins
his battle to nationalize the Suez,
there will be immediate reper-
