Much valuable information can be obtained from this survey if you’ll but take time to study it a bit. For instance the productivity table shows expected yields of various crops under management common to the county and under improved management. For instance the top corn soils are: Wickham loam 70-110 bushels, Meadowville loam 80-100 bushels, Chester loam 65-100 bushels, Eubanks loam 6090 bushels, Unison loam 57-100 bushels, Dyke loam 60-85 bushels and Hiwassee loam 60-85 bushels. All of these excepting Meadowville are also top small grain soils. As for apple production Porters stony loam is rated at 200-240 bushels per acre. Texture of this soil is really something. Ht is found in our mountains, near the tops on more gentle slopes. Myersville stony loam, stony local Alluvial land, and Halewood stony fine sandy loam are other top apple soils. Also Engineering Features: If you are concerned about permeability; sound footings, how deep you should go to get it, etc., the Survey gives you the facts.

SUBSCRIPTION (in advance)..$2.50 PER YEAR Department Of Agriculture Announces Signup Period For 1962 Crops Fd>. 5 to March 30 The U. S. Department of Agriculture today announced that the signup period for 1962 crop corn and grain sorghum and springplanted 1962—crop wheat and barley under the 1962 wheat stabilization and feed grain programs will begin Feb. 5 and run through March 30. Under these programs, fanners are able to help bring production into line with needs through diverting wheat and feed grain acreage to conserving uses. Fall-seeded wheat and barley acreage was signed up under the two programs during a signup period which ended Dec. 1. USDA officials pointed out that the earlier signup dates will give farmers and farm servicing industries an opportunity to make early plans for the coming crop year. The provisions of the 1962 feed grains program are generally the same as those for 1961. Main points are as follows: 1. Voluntary participation. 2. Acreage diversion. Not less than 20 percent of the base acreage (1959-60 average) as adjusted can be signed up. Additional acreages can be diverted. ; "3. Payments “in-kind" based *>n yields and support prices will be made on acreage diverted from feed grains to soil conserving uses. 4. Advance payments. 5. Price support* far cooperators on the normal production of acreages planted to feed grains. Levels of support will be announced later. The programs for spring wheat is the same as for winter wheat: 1. Mandatory cut of 10 percent from acreage based on national allotment of 55,000,000 acres to avoid marketing quota penalty. 2. Voluntary acreage diversion in addition. 3.

Participants may pasture acreage to be diverted until May 1 under both the wheat and feed grain programs. "XrJreage to be diverted will be designated by participants at the time a check is made of compliance. Compliance checks will be made in an area when subtaritially all of the particular grain has been planted. Compliance checks are now being made on the fall-seeded crop acreage signed up under the programs. USDA officials stated that substantial headway has been made toward achieving a. more realistic relationship between supplies and needs in the important grain sector of agriculture. Under the 1961 feed grain program, production of feed grains was brought below utilization in 1961 for the f*rst time since 1952, even though crop conditions were excellent. Signup to date for the fall seeded crops of wheat and barley shows a potential reduction of a substantial* acreage in these two crops from 1961 levels. Winter wheat acreage signed lip for diversion amounts to about 11.2 million acres, which is equal to about 25 percent of 1961 winter whebt plantings of approximately 4332 million acres.

Of Interest to Veterans Effective October 16r 1961, the Secretary of the Army approved the recommendation that one grave site be assigned in Arlington National Cemetery, wherever feasible, for the multiple interment of any member or former member of the armed forces. This policy became necessary because of the increase since the close of World War II of the number of persons legally eligible for burial in national cemeteries. The Army has been studying ways of prolonging by administrative measures the availability of space in Arlington Cemetery and other national cemeteries on an individual basis as the need arises. The application of policy of interment in one grave site of any member, or , former member, of the armed forces whose last active service terminated honorably, his spouse and his eligible children would prolong the life of South ! Post addition at Arlington until | 1988. The use of the policy of two adjoining side by side grave sites to all sections of Arlington would only last about five years. The cemetery staff reports no opposition in principle to the burial of an entire family unit in a single grave. There is no charge for a burial site in a national cemetery, and services incident to interment are performed free of cost to relatives or friends by cemetery labor. For burial in Arlington Cemetery, ‘contact should be made with “Officer in Charge, Arlington National Cemetery, Fort Myer, Virginia”. Edward TVt.'

The maximum taxable earnings remain $4,800 during the tax year in earnings, net income from selfemployment, or a combination of both. In dollars and cents the increase means that an employed person earning $4,800 or more during 1962 will pay $150 in social security, tax instead of the $144 he j paid on these earnings in 1961. With 52 weekly checks totalling . $4,800, about 12 cents more will \ be withheld from each check. His employer’s tax will also be about , 12 cents more a week. A self-employed person netting as much as $4,800 will .pay] $225.50 instead of $216 for the . year. Spread over 12 months, this . is about 79 cents more a month, or , by the quarter, $2.38 more. -fa-line with its policy of setting a schedule of social security tax ( rates sufficient to meet the cost of j all present and future insurance , benefits, the Congress provided for , the increase to finance four signifi- , cant program changes effective I with the 1961 amendments signed by President Kennedy last last | June. These changes— , 1. Enable men to apply for re- . duced old-age insurance benefits at 62. , 2: Increase by about 10 percent monthly benefits due 62-year-old or older widows getting benefits on the accounts of their husbands, dependent widowers, and dependent parents. 3.

Reduce the amount of work , needed to qualify for benefits, , allowing many workers, depend- | ents, and survivors who were not _ eligible under previous work requirement provisions to get benefits.
