A Feed Grain Program Brief: ;
One writer has expressed the:
1961 feed grain program as pos- I
sibly being “a bird in the hand i
being worth two in the bush.” I
think this is something each in
dividual farmer will have to de
termine for himself as soon as
the program facts are released.
The following ars some features
of the feed grain program:
Farmers participating in the
program get effective protection ,
against crop failure. The farmer
gets paid for acreage diverted
from feed grain production re
gardless of what weather does to
his crops. The price support for
cooperating producers in Chowan
County is $1.20 per bushel for
1961.
Price support on the normal
production of 1961 corn or grain
sorghum acreage. And price
supports have been set at a
higher figure for 1961. For ex
ample: the support price for
corn in most counties will be 14
cents more a bushel than it was
in those counties in 1960.
Payment for each acre diverted
to a conservation use. The pay
ment per acre for the first 20 per
cent diverted will be established
on the basis of: 50 per cent of
r the normal production of the
acreage diverted times the county
support price. As, an additional
incentive, for an additional 20
per cent of acreage diverted the
■ J rate will be established on the
basis of: 60 per cent of the nor
mal production times the county
support price. (The 50 per cent
rate also applies on acreage di
verted in excess of 40 per cent).
Advance of partial payment.
The producer may be paid up to
half of the estimated total pay
ment in advance—that is, as soon
as possible after a producer sig
nifies that he will cooperate in
the program. This advance pay
ment will help with current pro
duction expenses without the use
of additional credit. This and
the final payment will be made
in negotiable certificates re
deemable in corn and sorghum
grain or cash.
Farmers should think of fu
ture results as well as their pres
ent situation when they decide

whether or not to participate in
the new feed grain program.
Factors other than immediate in
come may be just as important.
One of thqse factors is the'pos
sible. effect such a program could
have on the present huge feed
grain surplus. Govemment-ownr
ed stocks of these grains are so
large that, at the current rate of
disposal, it would take OCC nine
years to move them into use on
a first-in, first-out rotation basis.
USDA economists estimate that
if enough farmers participate in
the new program, this surplus
could be-reduced substantially in
just one year. Also, this year’s
'program could lay the ground
work for additional reductions
of the surplus in the future.
Another consideration is the
'amount of taxpayers’ money that
would be saved on the storage of
this surplus. Commodity Stabil
ization Service estimates that the
new program would result in a
savings of from S4OO to S6OO mil
lion in storage costs on the 1961
crops.
I have just contacted the ASC
office relative to complete infor
mation on the feed grain pro
gram. This they are expecting
to receive from their state office
any day and until definite infor
mation is received we are afraid
to attempt to give you anything
further. Watch .next week’s ar
ticle for more details.

New Program For
Unemployment Pay
Continued from Page 1, .Section 1
“These claims may be filed at
the local office any week day
or at our itinerant points, Co
lumbia (Wednesday), Hertford
(Thursday), and Gatesville (Fri
day). Some have asked for a
definition of an ‘exhaustee’,”
said Bailey. “Generally speak
ing, benefits are exhausted when
a person has exhausted his
rights to regular State benefits
(including UCFE and UCX),
when he has received the maxi
mum benefits allowable to him
in his benefit year or when his
benefit year has expired before
he has received all his benefits.
“Workers may be entitled to
TEC benefits,” said Bailey, “if—
“ They are unemployed ...
“They have established eligi
bility for State unemployment
compensation (or compensation
payable to Federal civilian em
ployees DFCE and former
members of the Armed Forces—
UCX under Title XV of the
Social Security Act) and they
have exhausted those benefits
after June 30. 1960 ~ . .
‘They do not have available
benefit rights in any State . . .
“They 1 meet the registration
and other weekly requirements
of North Carolina’s Employment
Security Law and are not dis
qualified.
“We estimate that the number
of who will be af
fected in North Carolina will be
from 40,000 to 50,000 and the
total amount which may be paid
in benefits to State unemployed
workers is estimated at $7.9
millions,” concluded Bailey.
Family life is too intimate to
be preserved by the spirit of jus
tice. It can only be sustained by
a spirit of love which goes be
yond justice.

Fifty very interested Junior
4-H Club girls attended a train
ing meeting Saturday on the
Junior Enriched Cornmeal Ac
tivity. Each girl seems deter
mined to complete requirements
on this activity and we are sure
parents will guide them as 'they
work at home. Local leaders
are assisting in this program.
Our major objective is to get
people to know why it is im
portant and to use only cornmeal
that has been enriched. Enrich
ed cornmeal is cornmeal to
which extra food value has been
added in the form of vitamins
and minerals. Enriched corn
meal is a good low cost food to
use in our meals.

CLOTHES ~
don’t make the Man ... ~iiL
But they can serve very well to identify him with
his life’s calling. That’s one reason why Episcopal
clergymen wear “backwards” collars.
There’s nothing in any rule or law of our Church
which requires a priest or deacon to wear a clerical
collar. Nor is there anything which prescribes the
vestments he shall wear as he performs his clerical
duties. Custom and long usage have established these
garments as the "uniform of God’s Ministers.”
They serve many purposes. They identify him with
his work. They serve as a common denominator. The
humblest deacon, fresh out of seminary, and the rec
tor of the largest parish are one in service vestments.
Many of the vestments carry forward through the
years symbolic reminders of Christianity’s great past.
No, clothes don’t make the man. It takes years of
education and training to prepare a man to ade
quately and faithfully perform his priestly duties.
When he has reached that point, we feel that the
clothes help.
