B. Denny, state executive di rector for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conserva tion Service, pointed out today. The decision was reach ed by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture in view of the soybean sup ply situation and follow ing extensive consultation with producers and others. Denny noted, however, that farmers who sign up and plant as much as 50 per cent of their total feed 'grain base acreage to corn and grain sorghum will earn maximum price-sup port payments and may still plant the remainder of their permitted feed grain acreage to soybeans or some other crop. Price support for the 1968 crop of soybeans will continue at a national av erage rate of $2.50 per bushel, the rate in effect John W.

Town Council granted permission to the Bing hamton baseball club of the Eastern League to use Hicks Field as spring beginning with the 1966 crop. This should assure price stability for the 1968 crop at competitive levels for both domestic and ex port trade. In reaching the decision on soybean plantings on feed grain acreage, offi cials noted that two suc cessive record soybean crops in 1966 and 1967 have resulted in currently adequate supplies of soy beans. Present indications are that soybean acreage in 1968 will be sufficient to assure continuation of ade quate supplies through the 1968 crop marketing year without encouraging the planting of additional soy beans on feed grain per mitted acreage. The action follows farm er and producer association recommendations express ed at a series of meetings held in 11 states last fall.
