H. Duxbury, VA regional office manager in Lincoln. They are stiil holding GI term insurance, which can play a val uable role for a growing family but which may b come prohibi tively expensive for a veteran near the retirement age. "Many oiler veterans are now finding themselves unable to continue their term in urance payments at their greatly in creased rates and unable to obtain new insurance coverage," Duxbury pointed out. "If they die, their widows will have nothing; yet over the years the veteran may have invested as much as $7,000 or $8,000 in this iorrn of in ;urance." National Service Life Insur ance, originating in World War II, is stiil held by more than five million veterans in this country. About two million of these have converted to some permanent plan of insurance, but about three million are con tinuing with term protection. "Veterans should remember that a term GI insurance policy that carries an annual premium of $9.00 per thousand at age 35, jumps to an annual premium of $47.00 per thousand by age 65 and to $73.16 per thousand at age 70," Duxbury concluded. Farm Land Value in State Up 5 LINCOLN Nebraska farm real estate was valued at $4,539, 000,000 on March 1, 1962, five per cent higher than a year ago.

THE COMMON MARKET Part 3 BY CLARENCE SCHMADEKE County Extension Agent (Final of Series) Common Market agriculture generally speaking, is less effi cient than U. S. farming. Of the 9 million farms, over 5 million are of 12 acres or less. Many are made up of scattered strips of land which require consider able travel to reach and which limit use of machines. Often the design and location of farm buildings hamper mechanized handling of livestock. Livestock and livestock prod ucts make up about 70 of total production value. Livestock out put is expanding as high con sumer purchasing power stim ulates demand for meat, milk, poultry and eggs. The uptrend in herds and flocks has meant increased use of feed grains. Production of feed has been rising, but substantial quantities have been imported imports from the United S ates alone having a value of $197 million in fiscal year 1961. Other field crops produced include wheat and rye, sugar beets, forage root crops, rice and potatoes. Farmers, who make up over a hole Country Club course north west of the city. There'll be 27 holes of medal play with golfers divided intc lllghts according to ability. Flight positions will be deter mined by play July 22. FJquul prizes will be awarded in all flights. Golfers can register at the clubhouse and tee off beginning at 6 a.m. The entry fee is $3. In connection with the Open a "Choice Beef Barbecue" will be olfered beginning at 5 p.m. near the clubhouse. The clufc offers "all you can eat for 1.50." The club is loca.ed on the Highway 73-75 By-Pass two miles northwest of here. In case of severe weather, the meet will be held July 29. Wheat Growers Check Premiums BY CLAKENCK SCIIMADEKE County Extension Agent Farmers themselves are re sponsible for making sure that they receive the sedimentatior premium to which they are en titled under the price support program for 1962-crop hard wheat. Sedimentation instead of pro tein for premium purposes if being adopted for 1962 under the price-support program for the hard wheats as a part of the De partment of Agriculture's effort to upgrade the overall quality of hard wheat produced in this country. For wheat which is put under farm-storage loans, the ASCS county office will offer a free testing service. Where wheat Is delivered for a warehouse-storage loan, how ever, the farmer himself must request that the test be made and, if he thinks he has pre mium wheat, he should make sure that his warehouse receipt or other documents show the proper sedimentation value. Premiums offered under the 1962 price-support program for hard wheat will be 3 cents per bushel for wheats testing 40, 41 and 42, plus 1 cent per bushel for each additional point of sedi mentation value up to a maxi mum of 25 cents per bushel. The 25 cent maximum premiums will apply to wheat with a sedi menta'ion test of 64 or above. Hard wheat with no sedimen tation test or testing below 40 will be supported at the basic county or terminal loan rate with. discounts or premiums for other factors. If a producer does not believe his wheat will command a sedi mentation premium, he does not need to request that a test be made and he can secure a base loan in the normal manner. If an official sedimentation test is made, however, the warehouse receipt or accompanying docu ments must show sedimentation value even though it may be less than 40. WINS TITLE Tokyo A 20-year-old fashion model from Yokohama, Mariko Hanada is Tokyo's "Miss Hips of 1962." Chosen from some 900 competi tors in a contest, sponsored by an importer of French films and a bed manufacturer, judges decided that her hip contours were more pleasing than the others.

Journal Want Ads Pay fourth of the Common Market labor force, have called the at tention of their governments tc the sizeable gap between farm and hon-farm incomes. Common Market countries, as a result have been supporting prices oi their agricultural products. As a means of protecting the "common" prices that will even tually be established, the Com mon Market has proposed to in. sulate much of its agricultural production from outside compe tition through use of variable import levies, fixed tariffs, fees and quantitative restrictions ir some instances. The Rome Treaty calls for de velopment of a common agricul tural policy within the Common Market. Some common agricul tural policy decisions on grains poultry, eggs, pork, fruits, vege tables and wine were taken in January 1962. Main features of proposals thus far developed for a com mon agricultural policy include control of farm products through common marketing authorities; es'ablishment of common prices and abolition of trade barriers within the area during a transi tion period; control of Imports through variable tariffs, fees, Avoca News Mrs. Henry Maieman Mrs. George Vockun and son Hallam visited Monday at her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Flhmke.

Of the $4.9 billion of U. S. farm products exported in fiscal year 1961, $1.1 billion 22 went tc the Common Market. Of the $3.4 billion sold for dollars, exports to the Common Market, most of which represented cash sales accounted for about a third. American agriculture's future in the Common Market includes both promise and problems. Many U. S. farm products, hav ing an annual value of between $660 and $700 million, are ex pected to share in the area's economic growth. For others, such as grain and certain livestock products, U. S exports will depend on the de gree of protection the Common Market applies. In this connection, President Kennedy is seeking new author ity to obtain concessions from the Common Market on agricul tural commodities in return foi U. S. concessions on Common Market industrial products. r" JUL' 'Mm. i COl'NTY LFAGl'E LEADERS At this point undefeated,, the I'lattsinouth entry is leading the Cass County Boys Baseball League.

Sedimentation Values Unofficial reports on the 1962 wheat crop, indicate that the Sedimentation values are run ning quite high. Producers cap receive anywhere from 3 to 25 cents a bushel premium for wheat with a sedimentation test over 40. Unofficial reports show that many lots of wheat are running up to and in the 60's. Face Flies Attack Face flies will cost cattle producers many dollars tjiis year in the form of reduced milk production and weight gains. The flies, which appeared in Nebraska for the first time in 1960 are already causing damage. The adults closely resemble house flies and are usually found in bright open areas. They gather on the faces of animate, especially around the eyes, nostrils and mouths causing ir ccdu(ed 7&e )t tied Comfort Clinic Conditioning -i -- i A h 1 ; ritation and some swelling. Control of the face fly is dif ficult and almost limited to dairy cattle. Commercial smears may be applied to the faces of dairy cattle or the animals can be sprayed once a week with ciodrin. There are no effective controls for beef cattle, but back rubbers low enough to allow cat tle to rub their heads provide some control. Some rather unusal research designed to help combat the fly is being conducted: 1. Chemical attractants; 2. Control by contaminating the faces of cows the chemicals in feed to prevent the lace fly from breeding; (the flies hreed in fresh nmv manure); 3. Insecticides; 4. A modified back rub that would treat the face of cattle; 5. The relationship of face flies topink eye. The face fly is a native of Europe but it is not a problem there.
