A ONE„PICTURE EDITORIAL — She was a nice looking lady. Her
children were clean; their clothes were clean. They owned a big car.
They pulled up to the curb. She spoke. We won't mention her name
because a lot of us know her. She sent one of the children in to tell
the hu&and and the father that they were ready to go, then opened
the door on her side and cleaned out the car, dumping the contents
in the street. Someone in the family smoked Marlboro 100's. Not
seen are the ashes and a paper sack that blew away. I suppose all of
us have been guilty at one time or another of throwing things out of
the car. This is a reminder that someone is always looking.

GROWERS ARE CHEATING
Themselves if they mar-
ket THEIR CROPS AT PRICES
BELOW THE COMMODITY
CREDIT CORPORATION LOAN
LEVELS, ACCORDING TO
TROY MARTIN, CHAIRMAN
OF THE AGRICULTURAL •
S TABL I Z AT ION AND CONSER-
VATION COUNTY COMMITTEE.
THE PRICE SUPPORT
COMMODITY LOAN PROGRAM
WAS DEVELOPED AS A
MEANS OF HELPING FARMERS
SELL THEIR CROPS AT A
TIME WHEN MARKET CONDI-
TIONS ARE MOST FAVORABLE
THE CHAIRMAN POINTS OUT;
AND THAT TIME NORMALLY
IS NOT AT HARVEST TIME,
WHEN SUPPLIES ARE AMPLE
AND PRICES ARE LIKELY
TO BE DOWN.
HE EXPLAINS THAT THE
GOVERNMENT LOAN GIVES
US AN IMMEDIATE RETURN
TO THE PARTICIPATING
FARMER AT HARVEST TIME,
AND AT THE SAME TIME THE
FARMER RETAINS CONTROL
OF HIS CROP. BY STORING
IT FOR A WHILE AND THEN
REPAYING THE LOAN AND
SELLING THE CROP LATER
AFTER THE MARKETING PEAK,
THE GROWER FREQUENTLY
CAN GET A MUCH BETTER
PRICE.
HOW EFFECTIVE THE LOAN
IS IN PROTECTING FARM
PRICES REALLY CAN BE DE-
CIDED ONLY BY THE FARMER,
CHAIRMAN MARTIN EMPHASI-
ZED. ONLY HE CAN MAKE
THE PROGRAM OPERATE AS
INTENDED.
THE CHAIRMAN REMINDS
FARMERS, ALSO, THAT THE
LOAN IS ONLY A PART OF
THE TOTAL PRICE-SUPPORT
PROTECTION AVAILABLE TO
PARTICIPATING GROWERS OF
SUCH MAJOR CROPS AS WHEAT,
CORN,GRAIN SORGHUM AND
COTTON. A GROWER WHO
HELPS TO STABILIZE CROP
SUPPLIES BY TAKING PART
IN COMMODITY DIVERSION
PROGRAMS ALSO RECEIVES
A PRICE-SUPPORT PAYMENT
ON THE CROP (MARKETING
CERTIFICATE FOR WHE'T)
WHICH,, SUBSTANT! “*LLY
BOOSTS HIS TOTAL CASH
RETURNS FROM HIS CROP.
THE PRICE SUPPORT (OR
MARKETING CERTIFICATE)
PAYMENT IS SEPERATE FROM
THE PROGRAM PAYMENT
MADE FOR DIVERTING
ACREAGE FROM PRODUCTION
INTO A SERVING USE.
