Wheat Growers Cautioned About 'Excess' Acreage Farmers who have excess wheat acreage were reminded today that. failure to depose of the excess in accordance with program provisions could have a number of adverse effects on the farmer's pocket-book pocket-book and on his farm's acreage history. Gene A. Walker, Chairman, Agricultural Agri-cultural Stabilization and Conservation Conser-vation County Committee, said that such a wheat grower not only would be ineligible for price sup port and any payments he might otherwise have earned under the 1962 Wheat Stabilization Program, but he also would be subject to marketing quota penalties which are much higher for 1962 than In former years, and his farm's future wheat allotments might be reduced. reduc-ed. Regarding marketing quota penalties pen-alties on "excess" wheat, the chairman chair-man pointed out that legislation enacted last year made material changes regarding excess wheat of the 1962. crop. The penalty has been raised to 65 percent of parity as of May 1, 1962 (instead of the previous 45 percent), and the a-; mount of wheat subject to penalty will be twice the farm normal yield on all of the acres In excess of the allotment. If the proved 1962 actual yield is less than this amount, a reduction in the amount of the excess, ex-cess, based on actual production, will . be made if a request is filled before a set deadline. Mr. Walker explained that "excess" "ex-cess" wheat results when the grower grow-er does not comply with the farm w heat allotment or the marketing quota exemption acreage, if this is larger). The marketing quota exemption acreage is the smaller of a 13.5 acres or b) the highest acreage of wheat on the farm in any of the crop years 1959, 1960, or 1961.

Then I would get $2,000 for not raising 100 hogs. "I plan to operate on a small scale at first, holding myself down to about 400 hogs, which means 1 will have $8,000.

Delta Jr. High Holds Experiment In Utah History proud to announce that theirs is: one of 13 schools participating in an experiment in Utah History for 7th graders. The experiment is to see if special visual aids can be used to enhance and increase a student's learning more than regular reg-ular teaching. Through the State Department of Education and Channel 7, KUED T.V., they are helping to develop and test a series of film strips narrated nar-rated on tape recordings. This requires re-quires that the teacher must synchronize syn-chronize the strip with the tape so as to make it more effective. The material is built around the early exploration, settling, and the growth of Utah into its present condition. ' In order to make it more effective effec-tive and help check more closely on its value, one class will be used as a control group. This class will be taught in the regular way without with-out using the tapes and film strips. The experimental group will be taught similar to the control group but they will see and hear the film strips and tapes. Both groups were tested at the beginning of the semester and will oe lesiea again in May to determine determ-ine what the results are. These results re-sults will be compared with other schools in the experiment. The results re-sults will then show how effective the program is and what can be done with it. Mr. Robison is acting as the experiment teacher.
