Food Grain Program Foatmas:
'* The purpose of the / Feed
,&rain Program is to reduce the
tremendous surplus of grain the
Government has in storage. We
.ate told that, the storage on
surplus grain is costing the gov
ernment one million dollars
each day.
. Program participation has sev
eral advantages. The average
pkynwnt per acre or the coun
ty is approximately equal to
the ndt return per acre for land
ifhd management on eighty
hush&l yield at $1.05 per bushel.
The farmer croes 'not have to
change the weather. It qualifies
him ' for price _ support on the
corn and soybeans he grows
up to his specified production.
He can get half of his payment,
at the time of sign-up, the other
half to be paid after -perform
ance is checked.
Non-cooperators will not be
eligible for price supports on
corn or soybeans. They can
produce all the corn they can
without any regulations.
A cooperator must sign U P at
least twenty percent of his corn
base -and this land must not be
used for grazing or harvested
crops this year, also it must be
in addition to pasture area or
idle land in 1960. The maxi
mum acreage eligible is forty
percent where the base is 100
acres or more, twenty percent,
of the base plus twenty . acres
where the base is over 25 acres
up to 100 acres, and all of the
base where the base is 25 acres
t>r less. Farms producing no
cord or grain sorghum in 1959
or 1960 are not eligible to par
ticipate.
' ■ There are two rates of pay
ment for each farm. -The first
■twenty percent of the base is
at the lower rate, the second
"•twenty percent or portion of
twenty percent is at the higher
fate, and the remaining , acre
age is at the lower rate. For
example, on a fifty acre base
jwith a low rate of $35 and a
Tiigh rate of $43 per/ acre; ten
acres would get the' $43 rate
'and twenty acres wcyild get the
$35 rate if the was
put in. This wpuld. leave twen
ty acres of corn to, be grown if
.fteTired. ; , ~ v
W The feed grain program is
'Voluntary/ In simple words,
you can participate or not par
ticipate as you' see fit. The
/ASC Office has, complete infor-
Tnation and that is where you
sign up. Wg explained the
program at a meeting at the
Court House /on Monday night
and at the Chowan Community
Building on /Tuesday night. I
.hope you attended one of these.

valuable acquisition.
Congressman Herbert Bonner

cerning the airport, as did Mayor
John Mitcheoer,. who informed
i the group present that the deed
to the property had been receiv
ed only the day before.
Upon arrival at the Court
House a large crowd had gath
ered to hear, the Governor dedi

many women, boys and girls at
