proper action We suggest you
contact the Safety Responsibility
Division of the Bureau of Motor
Vehicles to determine whether or
not the person in question has
posted bond or cash and if not
whether a suspension has been af

To help clarify provisions of
the acreage leserve program per

placed in the acreage reserve, H
L Manwanng, deputy administra

Stabilization Service, recently
made the following statement:
'“Although the agreement
which farmers sign when they
participate in the acreage reserve
program does not require that the
designated land be planted to a
cover crop, it is good farming
practice to put a cover on those
acres whenever practical.
“The Soil sank makes no pro
vision for assistance to farmers
for establishing ' cover on the
designated acreage reserve How
ever, Paul Koger, administrator,
agricultural conservation pro
grams service, points out that
such land is eligible foi approved
cover crop practices, the same as
other cropland, under the agricul
tural conservation program.
These practices usually include
cost-sharing for the seed and
fertilizer for establishing the cov

C H. S,

“Since acreage reserve land
will be out of production, the op
portunity is available to farmers
for carrying out any other needed
conservation measures, many of
which are eligible for ACP cost
sharing.
Farmers who are unable to car
ry out needed cover crop and oth
er conservation measures with
their own icsources are urged to
make full use of the agricultural
conservation program. County
ASC offices should be consulted
as to the availability of cost-shar

Increased Use of Molasses in Feed
Led to Changes in
Increased use of molasses in
livestock feed in recent years has
been accompanied by changes in
methods of transporting it. ac
cording to a report issued by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Tank trucks are used more than
before to deliver molasses
from railroads, from waterborne
earners, and from seaport termi
nals directly to users.
Rapid development of tank
truck deliveries, making molasses
available in small quantities to
feeders and feed mixers in the
Middle West, was accompanied
by almost a hundredfold expan
sion of molasses shipments by
water up the Mississippi River
from 1949 to 1954, the report
shows Much of this molasses then
was delivered to the users by
truck, now generally regarded as
the principal method lor trans
porting molasses for feed.
Previously, railway tank-car
deliveries had necessitated ship
ments so large that farmers and
small feed mixers usually could
not afford to buy in the large
quantities shipped.
Costs of transporting molasses
are such that tank trucks can
readily compete with railroads at
distances under 250 miles, the re
port says. The services that tank
tiucks can provide are particular
ly important to livestock feeders
with less than 100 head of live
stock and to mixed-feed mills
producing less than 2,500 tons of
feed a year.
Marketing researchers say that
the molasses industiy is confront
