New buying interest's irregular and lacks real aggressiveness. Mediums are ample in numerous Eastern quarters but clearing closer in the Far West with parts of the South in better balance. Large are unevenly distributed but fully adequate overall for inter-area shipments. NORTH ATLANTIC: Prices were unchanged in New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, advanced 1c on brown extra large in New England. Terminal market stocks were lighter due partly to the three day weekend. Country point offerings were sufficient but lighter than last week. Supplies of large' was mostly adequate with mediums slightly surplus. Movement is fair but mostly based on prior commitments.

Farmers Urged to File Crop Reports The Lancaster County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee held its annual information meeting for farmers on Wednesday afternoon at the Farm and Home Center. Miss Dorothy Neel, director of the local ASCS office, explained the key changes in this year’s wheat and feed grain programs. Nationally, the program is being administered to set aside some 17 million acres of feed grains land, and another 3 million acres of wheat. This compares with ap proximately 55 million acres set aside in 1972. 47% 46% 42 38 28 The reason for the big reduc tion in set-aside acreage is the need for more feedstuffs throughout the country.

It was explained during the meeting that local farmers need the crops they grow on fields they might otherwise set aside. The economics of feeding livestock take precedence over any payments from government sources for nearly all local far mers. It was pointed out at the meeting that in order to remain eligible for crop subsidies, far mers must supply a record of acreage devoted to crops every year. This is true whether or not the farmer applies for the sub sidy money. Miss Neel pointed out that while a farmer may not be interested in government subsidies, his crop history could become an important factor if he should decide to sell his farm. A potential buyer could not apply for subsidies unless the history were kept updated yearly.
