The breed ers will include the hatchery men’s investment for the poultry and Egg National Board on their pullet billings.

CREATED FROM EASTERN STATES AND GLF < j gresa in spite of the over whelming disapproval of pro ducers in the 1963 referendum, is a failure The proponents of this complicated program claimed it would raise farm income It has had the oppo site effect Market prices have been depressed and the sale of CCC wheat stocks is de pressing the market even fur ther It is interfering with our ability to export wheat It is the prime cause of an increase in flour and bread prices. It is greatly disrupting the whole wheat economy. Only about one-third of the 1,729,864 eligible wheat farmers are participating in the program, but all are being penalized. Farmers are making prepara tions for the 1965 crop. They should not be saddled with this program for 1965. It will further depress wheat farm ers’ incomes I, therefore, re spectfully recommend to you that you ask the Congress, while it is still in session, to repeal the legislation under which this program is being operated and substitute a price support program based on the market Such a program is embodied in the wheat pro visions of S. 1617, H.R 6540, and other bills now before the Congress” Mr Shuman said copies of his telegram were being sent to the chairmen and ranking minority members of the agri culture committees of Congress and other Congressional lead ers LONGER WEAR FROM HOSE Proper length and size of nylon hose mean better ap pearance, greater comfort, and better wear, reminds Mrs Mae Barton, Penn State extension clothing specialist Proportion ed hose are sized differently up and down and around Also, different brands vary in sizes.
