Then he told the assembled citizens, “’’’his is a united group of officials, dedicated and unit¬ ed. They pledge to cooperate in good programs and to always keep their doors open to the public Hill also congratulated out¬ going officials cal a “job well done.” He particularly praised outgoing County Judge Phipps for his leadership in having the courthouse renovated and for helping start the drive lor a new hospital. “The officers before you have done a good job, but there is much yet to do,” he told the new officials. Circuit Judge Gardner, speak¬ ing briefly on law enforcement, said “I think we should ho happy in this county in contrast to what we see on television, be¬ cause the amount of seriousness of crime has been reduced con¬ siderably in this county and district. We have a county we can be proud of.” —Photo by Lanny Franklin Circuit Judge W.

Morgan county’s new public officials assumed their duties Monday after being administer¬ ed oaths of office at a public ceremony at 10 o’clock in the circuit courtroom, with Bernard Hill acting as master of cere¬ monies.

First to receive oath of office was Circuit Judge W. Major Gardner, who was commencing his second term as Judge of the Morgan-Elliott-Carter district. Circuit Court Clerk Walter Franklin administered the oath to Judge Gardner. Then Judge Gardner administered oaths of office to other newly-elected of¬ ficials, as follows—

Ralph N. Walter, Common¬ wealth’s Attorney (re-elected).

Constable — Franklin Wright Dist. 1.

Two other county officials, County Clerk Austin Hill and County Tax Commissioner Harry Coffey, both re-elected, had been administered their oaths several days ago by outgoing County Judge James Phipps.

The ceremony was opened with prayer by Rev. Robert My- near, pastor of the Methodist Church.

Then Mr. Hill spoke briefly and congratulated the new offi¬ cers, after which each official spoke briefly, all pledging to do their best in serving the people and the county.

Hill termed the swearing in ceremony a momentious oceas- sion because “ the officers sworn in today will determine the future destiny the county will take.”

‘‘Where Morgan County goes in the future depends largely on you,” he told the officials.” The public has shown by elect¬ ing you that they have faith in you — they have faith you will make it a better county.” Here he mentioned three areas need¬ ing attention — the proposed hospital, the proposed new county high school building and roads.

Then he told the assembled citizens, “’’’his is a united group of officials, dedicated and unit¬ ed. They pledge to cooperate in good programs and to always keep their doors open to the public ”

Hill also congratulated out¬ going officials cal a “job well done.” He particularly praised outgoing County Judge Phipps for his leadership in having the courthouse renovated and for helping start the drive lor a new hospital.

“The officers before you have done a good job, but there is much yet to do,” he told the new officials.

Circuit Judge Gardner, speak¬ ing briefly on law enforcement, said “I think we should ho happy in this county in contrast to what we see on television, be¬ cause the amount of seriousness of crime has been reduced con¬ siderably in this county and district. We have a county we can be proud of.”

The shoes that are being made at West Liberty are truly beau¬ tiful shoes and, without doubt, the careful workmanship we are getting is a measureable part of the greater demand by retailers.

“Our production is on the upswing and it would appear it could reach the highest level of any time since we opened in December of 1965.

AND HEREABOUTS

1970 KENTUCKY GEN¬ ERAL ASSEMBLY, which convened in the capitol Jan¬ uary 6, is young, well edu¬ cated. Average age is 46, which is seven years less than the 53 age average of the I960 legislator.In other com¬ parison with the General As¬ sembly of a decade ago, it noted that 98 members of the 1970 gathering graduated or attended college, against 78 a decade ago. 1960 and 1970 classifications in other areas: 33-30: farmers, 3 4-18; busi¬ nessmen, 65-59.

West Liberty, Ky, Successor to Scorch er, per hundredweight; barley, 83 cents per bushel; oats, 63 cents per bushel; rye, $1.J2 per bushel. (Price support is required by law for oats and rye, but there are no provis¬ ions for acreage limitations.)

Price support payments rates will be: corn, 30 cents per bushel; grain sorghum, 53 cents per hundredweight; bar¬ ley, 20 cents per bushel. Price support payment for a farm is arrived at by multiplying the per bushel price support

I payment times the farm’s pro- i jected yield times the smaller 1 of the planted acreage or 50 ; percent of the farm's feed I grain base.

3. Small farm provisions. A farm with a feed grain

, base of 25 acres or less will | be able to qualify for pay- j ment on the first 20 percent I of its diverted acreage, with the payment rates based on 20 percent of the total county

! support rate times projected | yield. For the remaining di- j verted acreage on small farms. ' the diversion payment will j be based on the 49 percent j payment rate, subject to the maximum limitation.

Producers with feed grain bases of up to 125 acres will have the option of temporarily reducing their base to 25 acres to become eligible for the small farm provisions. In such

grain sorghum,

producers in Morgan countv will receive notice of their feed grain bases in January, according to Ben Cox, Chair¬ man of the Morgan County Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Commi¬ ttee.

Sign-up period or the vol¬ untary farm programs — in¬ cluding wheat as well as feed grains — will be Feb. 2 thro¬ ugh March 20.

The 1970 feed grain pro¬ gram will be much like the 1969 program, the ASC com¬ mittee chairman said. Pro¬ visions of the 1970 wheat pro¬ gram were announced earlier. Mr. Cox gave the following details on the feed grain pro¬ gram;

1. Acreage diversion and diversion payments;

Minimum diversion at 29 percent of a farm’s feed grain base acreage will be required for program participation. No payment will be made for this first 20 percent diversion, ex¬ cept for small farms.

Payments will be made for additional diversion of corn, grain sorghum, and barley. Maximum acreage that can be diverted for payment will be the larger of 30 percent of a farm’s feed grain base or 25 acres less the qualifying 20 percent diversion. Pay¬ ment rate for this additional diversion will be based on 40 percent of the total county price support (loan plus sup port payment) times a farm’s projected yield of the crops involved.

No advance diversion pay¬ ments will be made.

Upper limits will be estab¬ lished on the per-bushel rate which will be paid for the additional voluntary diversion of feed grain acres. The maximum payments will be: for corn, 60 cents per bushel; for grain sorghum, 55 cents per bushel (not hundred¬ weight); for barley, 45 cents per bushel.

2. Price support loans and payments.

National average price sup¬ port loan rates on all feed grains will be the same as in 1969. However, corn loan rates, while unchanged, will be at $1.08 per bushel, “No. 2’" basis — which is equal to the 1969 level of $1.05 for average qua-

Worked Keep Burley Prograrr

Better Than A

recommend, that the present program be con¬ tinued without change. For it is apparent to all who are familiar with farm programs that the burley price support and acreage allot¬ ment program has worked more successfully through all the years since the mid 30’s than any other farm program — and has cost the government far less money than any other program. (Mr. Todd told a farm group in Wisconsin just a few weeks ago the tobacco program since its inception in the mid 30 s had cost only one-fourth of one percent of total money allocated to agriculture in all those years). And it has stabilized the tobacco industry. The tobacco program is the most successful farm program and has cost the least money.

Not only do we recomnient continuing the program in its present form, but we strongly support the cooperative’s action of purchasing all burley that does not bring support price, even a greater percentage than the pre Christ¬ mas average of 25.1% if need be. And we recommend also that the burley co-op when it sells the stored burley to manufacturers, two or three years hence, that it charge manufac¬ turers the going rate of interest for the period it holds the burley, not just the 3>2% rate the co-op obtains its operating money from the

government. In Morgan there arc 1.757 burley allotments

authorizing a total of 1.561 acres of burley. Forty-nine percent, or 843 of the total allot¬ ments, fall within the minimum acreage cata-

gory. In our judgment any reduction of allot¬

ments which falls within the minimum acre¬ age provision would seriously harm the small burlev growers and possibly bring economic

A statement from the Agriculture Commit¬ tee of the Morgan County Developement As¬ sociation (Russell Brown, chairman) refutes a statement made to the Burley Advisory Coun¬ cil in Lexington by a group of growers from 39 central Kentucky counties which termed the burley program “unrealistic, unreasonable and unworkabie”.

The statements are to be weighed by the Secretary ol Agriculture in determining quo¬ tas for the 1970 crop.

The Morgan County committee’s statement was sent directly to the Secretary of Agricul¬ ture this week. It reads as follows—

Members ot this committee estimate we have talked over burley problems with at least 400 farmers of Morgan and nearby counties, and we judge that the feelings expressed herein fairly express the views of at least 97% of them, and also represent the views of this committee.

Though most burley bases are small (over half of them under one acre and the average being .84 acre), tobacco is the chief money crop of practically every farmer in our area. Any disruption of the program would consti¬ tute the greatest blow to the economy of our farmers and would serve to lower land values drastically and force many of them off their farms. In Kentucky burley accounted for 41.8%. af all (arm income in 1967 and for 54.2% of income from all crops. And in Morgan and surrounding counties burley accounts for at least 90% of cash farm income. So a dis¬ ruption of the program would be near fatal to family-size farms in Eastern Kentucky.

Recognizing that any attempt to change the program by law most likely would be danger¬ ous at this time when so much propaganda has been disseminated against smoking, and be- We strongly urge lieving that farmers would not at this time present program wit vote for acreage-poundage, we beliepe, and we preserved unchanged

The increases were announc¬ ed by George Romney, secre¬ tary of housing and urban deve¬ lopment, in whose department the Federal Housing Adminis¬ tration is located, and Donald E. Johnson, head of the Veter¬ ans Administration.

Romney said he had approved the increase only recutantly, but that “the realities of the marketplace do not permit fur¬ ther delay.”

The action will help to hold the line against a further dry¬ ing up of mortgage funds from regular sources, Romney said.

The maximum of per cent has been in effect since last Jan. 24.

Since that time, itomney said, “market yidds on most types of investments have risen by more than one percentage point. This has been accompanied by increasingly large discounts on FHA-VA mortgages” as invest¬ ment capital has flowed else¬ where in recent months in sear¬ ch of more attractive interest rates.

The rise in the ceiling, Rom¬ ney emphasized, does not affect the 8.2 million outstanding FHA and VA mortgages. These borrowers will continue to pay the amount of interest called for at the time their loans were closed.

After hearing all this, Meni¬ fee Fiscal Court Judge Otto j Ingram sighed and said. ‘'Wei v.'ould have liked to have had you say something else”

He then asked if “we could get any type of medical facili¬ ty” for Menifee County with (he money on hand. “We need something here, even if it's an ultra-modern first-aid station.”

Menifee County has about 5.000 residents and Dr. Brand is currently the only doctor serving it.

Its only medical “facilities” are his offices in Frenchburg and a just-opened home hea¬ lth care agency. The nearest hospitals are in Mt. Sterling, about 21 miles away, and, Morehead, nearly 30 miles away.

After the meeting, Judge Ingram and Mrs. Brand indi¬ cated more meetings were needed to determine what Menifee County would do next.

Ballard said he and his staff would be willing to continue to work with Menifee resi¬ dents to help solve their pro¬ blem.
