Although the Feed Grain Pro gram has ; not, been enacted into law by Congress, the program as proposed by Secretary of Agricul ture Orvil Freeman is likely to be approved. " Here is what Mr. Freeman - has proposed,, and House and' 'Senate leaders "have already -' held four days ' of hearings and discussions on the -program. - (1) Support this year's corn crop at $1.20 per bushel, and other feed grains at their1 comparative values for feeding purposes. Support pay ments would be ' limited,, however; to producers who divert at least. 20 per cent of their 1959-60 acreage to approved, conservation practices. ' (2) The cash paymenfon diverted acres would be 60 per cent of sup port price; multiplied by the 1959-' 60 average yield on those acres. A farmer with a 50 bushel cora yield, for yeXample V would receive 50 times 72 cents or $36 per acre. -- (3) v Farmers who desired could place an additional 20 per cent of their feed grain acreage in the conservation- program and receive, cer tificates, payable either in cash or irt kind, at two-thirds of their 1959- 60 average yields. vThe cash pay ment would be two-thirds of the prevailing market price. k (4t Non-cooperating ' producers would hot be eligible for conserva tion payments or ' for price sup ports oa corn or other feed grains.

This is one of the strong points in the pro posed program, according to Hor ace Godfrey) Administrator of Com modity Stabilization Service.

World supplies of , high . portein meals and vegetable oils are in short supply. ,;.-.!., " Secretary of Agriculture Freeman said that if the production of live stock was effected that immediate action would be taken to correct the situation. ; Main advantages of tlie em ergency one-year program are these: (1) It Would cost the Federal Government around $500 million less than the existing ' program in 1961. (2) Gross income tp the average feed grain producer would be in creased substantially and his net income even more. ; (3 The wasteful build-up of feed grain stocks would be brought to an end. An acute shortage of stor age space next fall would be allev iated. Present government holdings of feed grains would be reduced to some, extent.' And consumer prices would not be affected measurably.

Williams and Grady pointed out in their letter that although dog is considered man's best friend, he can also be man's worst friend. Dogs that contract rabies are very dangerous to man in that once a mair contracts rabies after being -bitten by a dog and the dis ease transferred to him, there is no known cure.. In addition, if a rabid bites a person, , the pre ventive treatment is very painful. The letter states: "We have taken as one of our 4-H Club Health Pro jects Jhe writing of this -letter to you and all dog owners in our com munity to tell you about rabies cli nics we have arranged,'' which will be held for the benefit of all ' dog owners.; ' '.-:'. j. j Dr. Taylor haa- agreed to give a special price, for the dogs vacci nated ; during thla special ' Clinic.
