Freeman Announces Signup Period
For Special 1963 Wheat Program
Secretary of Agriculture Orville L.
Freeman today set October 15 to De
cember 14 as the period during which
winter wheat farmers may sign up to
participate in the special voluntary
1963 wheat program authorized by the
Food and Agriculture Act of 1062
signed into law by President Kennedy
September 27,
The legislation raises the support
price on 1963-crop wheat from the
$lB2 (announced last July) to $2.00
per bushel to farmers who participate
in the voluntary acreage reduction
program. The 18-cent-per-bushel sup
port increase will be paid in-kind
based on the normal production of the
farm’'s harvested acreage. The pro
gram also offers farmers income
maintaining payments for diverting
acreage from wheat production to con
serving uses. In general, the acreage‘
diversion provisions will be similar to
those for 1962,
Secretary Freeman said, “The vol
untary acreage reduction provisions
authorized by Congress for the 1963
wheat crop provide an interim basis
to help keep wheat supplies down
until the long-range program includ
ed in the legislation just passed can
be voted on by farmers for the 1964
crop.
“The voluntary program gives wheat
farmers an opportunity to continue to
make needed adjustments in the wheat
production level and thus protect the
gain made this year under the 1962
whaet stabilization programs,
“As a result of the 1962 program,
wheat production this year is at the
lowest level in five years. This will
mean a substantial reduction in wheat
carryover stocks.
“The long-range wheat program
which is authorized for 1964 and sub
sequent crops is a major step toward
a permanent solution of the long
time wheat problem.”
Under the voluntary reduction pro
visions for 1963, farmers will be able
to divert from 20 to 50 percent of
their wheat acreage with special di
version provisions for small farms. On
diverted acreages, a payment will be
made at 50 percent of the county loan
rate (reflecting the $1.82 per bushel
national average) on the normal pro
duction (1959-60 average yields) of |
the diverted wheat acreage. The
minimum diversion for participation
is 20 percent of the wheat allotment
or in the case of small farms 20 per
cent of the allotment or the average
three-year wheat acreage (1959-60-61),
whichever is larger.
Of the $2.00 per bushel 1963 average
support price to the farmers partici
pating in the 1963 acreage reduction
program, $1.82 per bushel will be
available through loans and purchase
agreements and 18 cents per bushel
will be in the form of a payment in
kind based on the normal produc.ion
of the harvested acreage. (The 1962
support price which was $2.00 per
bushel was made available to coop
erators through loans and purchase
agreements.)
Farmers may receive 50 percent of
their acreage diversion payment at the
time they sign up to participate in
the program. Remainder of the acre
age diversion payment and all of the
price-support payment will be made
after compliance is checked next sum
mer,
In a change from the 1962 program,
the signed acreage will be a binding
agreement. Farmers will be required
to divert the full acreage for which
they sign up to be eligible for pay
ments. If a farmer does not divert
the full signed-up acreage he will not
.be eligible for price support nor will
he receive acerage diversion or wheat
price-support payments (if he signs
up for 30 acres, for example, and di
verts only 20 acres.)
Payments for diversion will be made
by sight draft which can be used to
purchase Commodity Credit Cm‘pora-‘
tion owned wheat. Price-support pay
may be redeemed in wheat from Com
in-kind cer.ificates. These certificates
ma ybe redeemed in wheat from Com
modity Credit Corporation stocks m'l
cash will be paid and the CCC will
assist in marketing the wheat covered
by the certificates,
Acreage diverted to a conserving
use, including summerfallow, will be
in addition to the average acreage of
conserving and idle land on the farm
for 1959 and 1960, Diverted acreage
must be put in a conserving use and
kept free from erosion, insects, weeds,
and rodents,
Acres taken out of wheat may be
planted to guar, seasame, safflower,
sunflower, and castor beans without
affecting eligibility for program bene
fits. The diversion rate in such cases
for plantings to seasame will be at 40
percent of the farm's regular diver
sion rate; guar and castorbeans at 30
percent; and sunflower at 20 percent,
There will be no payment on plant
ings of safflower. Production of flax
seed, rape seed and mustard seed will
not again be permitted on diverted
acres under the 1963 program,
For farmers who do not par.icipate
in the voluntary reduction program,
the legislation makes no change in
the mandatory provisions of the 1963
wheat program as voted on by farm
ers in the August referendum on mar
keting quotas. Those who remain
within their acreage allotmemts will .
be eligible for price support at a na-'

“What is defeat? Nothing but education. nothing but
the first step to something better . . .”
With the individual defeat needn't be a final,
crushing thing. Indeed, an occasional setback is the
whetstone that sharpens the mind, steels the moral
fibers and encourages search for new and more effi
cient means to a deserved end.
The cloying sweetness of a steady procession of
personal victories may be infinitely satisfying to
to some temperaments, but it is hardly calculated to
educate and encourage character of enduring stature.

San Francisco — Super Shell with Platformate has just delivered a mileage
bonus of 4.33 percent. Platformate is Super Shell's mileage ingredient.
Shell engineers test Super Shell for mileage in many different types of cars,
in many different places. Here’s how the test above was run. Exactly
250 cc (about half a pint) of a fuel blended without Platformate was fed
into the test car’s engine. The car was started, accelerated to 30 miles per
-~ MILEAGE TEST
New documented tests prove that
one of Super Shell’s 9 ingredients packs
extra mileage into every gallon
Tmz picture above was snapped a few
moments after Super Shell with an
extra mileage ingredient called Platformate
delivered a mileage bonus of 4.33 percent.
That’s a typical result from a series of
mileage tests Shell engineers recently ran
on the outskirts of San Francisco.
The tests compared two gasolines. One
was a gasoline Shell scientists purposely
blended without Platformate. The other
was Super Shell —the same gasoline as be
fore but with Platformate added.
Shell enginecrs used a 1962 convertible
for the tests. You may be driving a similar
car right now.
In test afte;' test, Super Shell with
Platformate consistently took the car
about 4 percent farther than the gaso
line blended without Platformate.

data, write to the Shell Oil Company,

Platformate gets its name from the plati
num re-forming process used to make it.
Pressures up to 600 pounds per square
inch and temperatures up to 1000 degrees
literally tear petroleum apart. A precious
platinum catalyst then helps re-form the
petroleum into super-energy components.
resuLt: Platformate can release more en
ergy per gallon than the finest 100-octane
aviation gasoline. Your engine can convert
extra energy into extra mileage.
Super Shell has 9 ingredients
for top performance
Extra mileage is just one part of the top
performance story. Super Shell’s other
ingredients complete the picture. Here's
what they are and what they do.
