He quoted John C. Collet, stabilisation administrator, as saying that producers' returns would be maintained either by subsidy payments or by increases in price ceilings should subsidy be eliminated. However, it is the polto icy of the administration where avoid price increases possible by making terminations of subsidies subject to general stabilization of costs of living. i If it should become neces-isaior reduce to terminate as (dairy production payments compared with 1945, such action would be accomplished by upward adjustmnts in the ceiling pi ices of fluid milk and dairy products.

These plans are the most progressive and efficient pro- grams that have ever been de- -' veloped for improving the breed- ing and production quantities of poultry and for reducing losses FrisehDr. fre.n, pullriuni, knecht said. This is because they provide for the use of the most scientific and successful methods yet known for testing chickens and turkeys for disease.

Utah was one of the first states to join the national poultry improvement plan in which 47 states now are participating. The plan aids buyers of chicks, flock owners who produce hatching eggs, hatchery men and poultry breeders. Marketing agencies and the consuming public also benefit from the greater uniformity and superior quality of eggs find poultry, meat resulting from the operation of the breeders and hatchery unaer the lan, Dr. Frisehknecht having a total hatching capacity of 2,317,506 eggs are now participating in the plan as compared with 23 hatcheries with a total hatching capacity of 1,562,379 eggs a year ago.

It is expected that a larger than usual proportion of the cattle to be fed probably will be marketed before midyear, because of the relatively scarce supply of corn that will next be available for feeding summer, and the prospect of lower returns from cattle after subsidies to cattle feeders and to slaughterers are withdrawn.

I Utah farmers will have an opportunity during the next few weeks to insure their 1946 crop of spring wheat with the This infederal government. surance covers such unavoidable crop hazards as drouth, flood, hail, frost, fire wildlife and roand dents, insect infestation plant disease. In announcing the 1946 crop insurance program for spring wheat, H. E. Larsen, Corinne, member of the state A.A.A. committee in charge of crop insurance, explained that under the 1946 program, wheat is insured under contracts covering three consecutive crop years. The farmer may cancel his contract as it applies to the third year by giving written notice to the county A.A.A. committee on or before the closing date for the second year. During the past week a series of crop insurance training schools have been held in the state to acquaint county A.A.A. committeemen and crop insur- ance representatives with the provisions of the 1946 program and to outline methods of giving every wheat farmer an opportunity to have his crop insured. Schools were held in Brigham City for A.A.A. committeemen and crop insurance representatives from Cache, Box Elder, Rich Davis, Morgan, Summit, and Weber counties. A farmer may insure his spring wheat crop up to 75 percent of the average yield determined for his farrrt, Larsen said. This average yield is determined on the basis of actual yield records or an acceptable appraisal. The insurance covers the crop from the time the wheat is seeded until it is threshed. The annual premium may be reduced by as much as 50 percent if it is determined that the risk on the wheat crop produced by any particular farmer' justifies such a reduction. The Fed-- ! oral Crop Insurance corporation makes that decision by 'comparing the balance of paid against the indemnities paid out on wheat crops each consecutive year since (1939. Crop 'insurance under the government is a program. The government pays all administrative costs. The premiums are used to pay in-- I demnities only. In addition to the provision for reductions up to 50 percent, the annual premium may ,be reduced 10 percent if the farmer has insured his wheat crop continuously for the five preceding years without a loss. The five-yea- r period does not include the 1944 spring wheat crop because crop insurance was not offered that year.
