In announcing the national
totals for the 18W winter
wheat signup, Secretary of
Agriculture Freeman said:
“Thit. report indicates that
farmers recognize the value
and importance of price-sup
port programs to their farms
and to a stable and sound
economy.
Program benefits available to
growers who sign up in the
1965 wheat program and then
carry out the appropriate pro
visions include price-support
loans, marketing certificates,
and diversion payments. The
diversion payment rates have
been increased to 50 per cent
of the county loan rate in or
der to encourage maximum
diversion and continued prog
ress in reducing excessive
grain stocks.

Salt To Fresh
Water Study Set

President Johnson has or
dered a crash research pro
gram on conversion of saline
to fresh water. It's the latest
evidence of growing concern
about the availability of ade
quate water supplies in the
face of ever-mounting de
mands.
In response to the Presi
dent’s directive for an “all
out effort to make low-cost
fresh water from sea water,
Secretary of the Interior,
Stewart Udall is expected to
ask Congress in January for
an additional $l6 million to
accelerate the program this
fiscal year. Congress has al
ready appropriated $l2 mil
lion for this year’s program.
The cost of conversion re
mains too high for many prac
tical uses. At present it is
running around $1 per thou
sand gallons. The goal is to
cut this figure to 25 or 30
cents per thousand.
Two aspects of the Presi
dent’s decision to speed up
saline water conversion re
search are being noted. First
is the fact that the President
himself is taking a prime in
terest in the program. Second
is his order to increase the
investment in this research,

After a day-long session
with the President in Austin,
Tex., Secretary Udall report
ed the President has told him
to "spare no expense’’ in
working for a big break
through in saline water con
version.
Official forecasts indicate
the United States will need
600 billion gallons of water
daily by 1980, The nation is
already using an estimated
300 billion gallons or more a
day. The annual supply of
fresh water to the country in
the form of rain and snow is
reasonably constant from year
to year. To put a larger share
of the annual supply to our
use, intensive efforts will be
necessary to reduce waste,
pollution, and excessive evap
oration. There will be a ne
cessity to multiply the use
and re-use of water in all pos
sible ways, and also increase
storage for the common good.
But in addition, the oncom
ing demands for water seem
to dictate that an all-out ef
fort must be made to achieve
economical conversion of salt
water to fresh water.
