| “Why run the risk of under
■planting your allotment crops or
*>overplanting and having to pay
Lthe reporter to measure off the
Lexcess acreage, when premeas
lurement cost so little and means
|so much?” asks H .O. West, lo
fi cal ASC office manager.
| “Any farmer may have the
laid off for him on which
|he will plant his allotted crop
f for this year. This service
fwhich is offered to producers of
jiall allotment crops is termed
|‘premeasurement’. You may re
-4 quest this service through the
| county office which began Janu
ary. 4. The farmer will be re
jquired to pay only the actual
i cost of the visit to his farm
sand the determination of acreage
ton his farm. The deposit to
t cover this cost is made by the
I farmer at the time he makes his
application. Only a limited
I amount of premeasurement work
t can be done in the short time
1 available, so applications should
Ibe made early. All farmers de
siring premeasurement should
1 visit the ASC office as soon as
possible.”
Since marketing quotas have
been approved for 1960 crop of
cotton the next step for the
farm operator will be to choose
between the “A” and “B” a lot
ment and price support programs
for his farm. However no elec
tion can be filed until after the
farm operator receives a notice
of the price support levels ap
p'cable for 1960 under “A” and
“B” allotments.
The level of price support for
1960 cotton will be announced
by the Secretary of Agriculture
not later than January 30, 1960.

[ The Olympic Games 1
The Olympic Games, part of
which will be held in Squaw-
Valley, Calif, in February, were
so important to the ancient
Greeks that they were used to
measure time.
World Book Encyclopedia ex
plains that the original games
| were foot races in honor of
[ Zeus, king of the Greek gods.
In the 300’s 8.C., it became
customary to mark time in
“Olympiads.” the periods of four
(years between celebrations of
ihe Olympic Games. All events
were dated from 776 8.C., the
date of the first recorded race.
The custom disappeared about
A D.. 440, after the 304t,h Olym
piad.
The Olympic festivals were
originated by the people of Elis,
a Greek city-state on the plains
of Olympia. Gradually, all the,
Greek city-states joined in the
Olympics. Other contests, such
as jumDing, discus-throw ng and
chariot-racing, were added.
As the city-states declined,
athletes from other lands began
to participate in the games.
In about A.D. 60, the Roman
emperor Nero entered the con
tests. One cf the purposes of
the games was to glorify the in
dividual, his skill and his sports
manship. But Nero was a poor
athlete and by competing he
lowered the standards.
The gamps deteriorated and
by A.D. 394 thev had become
sd corrupt that Emperor Theo
dosius abolished them.
Centuries passed, while earth 1
awakes and floods buried the
plain under 20 feet of graveT
‘and soil.
When excavators found the
ruins of the ancient shid'um in,
