i Don't Plant * Over Allotment Blalock Says With seeding of the 1961 win ter crop about to get undery way, growers are reminded that over planting ithe farm’s wheat al lotment will usually have indirect as well as direct effects upon the farm’s crop or operation. According to D. B. Blalock, Chairman of the Cleveland ASC County Committee, farmers gen erally understand very well that wheat from a farm where the wheat allotment has been ex ceeded is not eligible for price support. With a few exceptions, such as the 15-acres exemption provision and the feed wheat ex emption, it will also be subject to marketing quota penalties. What is not so well understood, however, is that such overpro duction can also reduce the farm’s wheat allotments, under a ruling provided by legislation e nacted within recent years. “If a farmer complies with his 1961 allotment,” Blalock explain ed, “the base acreage — which is the farm wheat acreage allot ment plus the acreage diverted from wheat for the current year — will be considered as the k farm’s wheat acreage history for f 1961 in establishing future wheat allotments. “If the farmer does not com ply with his 1961 farm wheat al lotment, however, ithe general rule is that only the 1961 allot ment will be considered as the farm’s wheat history for 1961 in determining future allot ments.” Blalock pointed out that the rule governing wheat history ap plies in all cases where the farm allotment is exceeded regardless of the size of the allotment. Thus, if the farm allotment is exceeded, a farm not subject to marketing quotas— such a farm with 15 or less acres of wheat or a feed wheat farm with 30 or less acres of Wheat — still would be credited only with the wheat allotment — not the base acre age — when future allotments were established. “None of the wheat produced on a farm where the allotment is exceeded is eligible for price support,” (Blalock said.

Kings Mountain HERALD Phone 339-5441 lire Safeguards May Save Home If every member of the family knows what to do in case of fire, your home may someday be sav ed from severe property damage or loss of life. Families are urged to work out a simple emergency plan that is understood, and even rehearsed periodically, by all members of a family, so that each one knows his part thoroughly. Basically the plan involves calling the fire de partment and giving directions for getting to your home, getting the family out, and saving ani mals or farm livestock. All homes should have some equipment for putting out small fires and preventing large ones from spreading. Such household and garden tools as a broad stur dy rake, extra lengths of ganden hose, hatchets, axes, shovels, brooms, crowbars, and a light portable ladder that reaches to the roof are all valuable in fight ing fire and should be kept han dy and ready for use. Of several types of fire exting uishers, it is suggested that you use only those approved by the Underwriters .Laboratories or Factory Mutual Laboratories. The inexpensive, pump-tank us ing plain water are for wood, paper, doth, rubbish, grass and brush fire. They are easy to use and effective from a distance of 30 to 40 feet Dry chemical types are for flammable liquid and electric fir es and can be refilled right at the fire. One of these should be kept in the kitchen, and others near any stationary engines or motors on the property. Avoiding fire hazards also is a vital part of safeguarding your home against damage. Be careful in your everyday activities of disposing of trash, using flamma ble liquids, and operating power tools and equipment.
