Prices for the 1962 corn croo will be supported at a minimum of $1.20 per bushel in Cass County, Ivan Q. Althouse, chair man, Cass Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation Coun ty Committee, has announced. This is 4 cents higher than the 1961 support rate for Cass Coun ty. The chairman said that the minimum rate will not be re duced, but may be increased if the final 1962-crop corn support price determined on the basis of data on Oct. 1 is higher than the minimum price announced last spring. Althouse stressed the import ance of a full understanding by growers of how the 1962 Feed Grain Program affects price supports for the crop. "Corn producers who participate in the 1962 Feed Grain Program will be eligible for price support on the 1962 production," he declared, "But there will be a limit on the amount of corn from eligible farms that can be put under support. "The quantity eligible for sup port will be based on the farm's established per-acre yield, based on the 1959-60 average, times the 1962 corn acreage as deter mined by the ASC County Com mittee. "Producers of corn who do not p a r t i c i p a t e in the 1962 Feed Grain Program will hot be eligi ble for support on the 1962 com crop." To be eligible for support, corn also must have been produced in 1962, must grade No. 3 or better or No. 4 because of test weight only, must meet certain mois ture requirements, and must be in adequate storage. The sched ule of premiums and discounts is unchanged from the 1961 pro gram. As in the past, the price-sup port program for 1962-crop corn j will be carried out through farm and warehouse-stored loans and purchase agreements. These will be available from harvest-time through May 31, 1963. Loans will mature on July 31, 1963. 1,337 Entries in Ak Stock Show OMAHA Any lingering doubts that the Ak-Sar-Ben Live Stock Show is the largest of its kind in America were erased today, ac cording to J.

"This year we will play host to 1,337 boys and girls from six sur rounding states during the Show Friday, Sept. 21 through Satur day, Sept. 29", Thurmond said. "We are highly pleased with the results and are extremely grate ful to the youngsters for their interest."
