"We have all the information on the
1983 farm programs and we can issue
checks on half the diversion pavments
on 1483 crops." Adams continued.
He said guidelines have been estab-
lished on financing of farm storage
structures and farmers interested in
this could check with the office for
more details.
1483 WHEAT PROGRAM
If a farmer has 100 acres bast-
wheat. he must set aside 20 percent or
20 acres. Deficiency pavment is fig-
ured like this: 80 acres times projected
yield of 20 bushels to the acre lvields
vary) times 65 cents a bushel (SI.040).
Then there will be pav mem on five
acres of the 20 set aside acres, figured
5 acres times 20 bushels times $2.7()
for a total of SJ’O.OO.
The wheat farmer will gel one half
the SI.040 and one half the S270 at
sign up time.
1483 COTTON PROGRAM
Take an example of 100 acres base
with a yield ol 4(H) pounds per acre. 20
acres are set aside in order to get in
the program. Actually onlv '5 acres
will be planted. . so multiple- 75
acres times 4(H) pounds times 12.8
cents per pound ($3,840). then figure
five acres times 400 pounds times 25
cents and the farmer gets another
$500. . for a total of $4340. The
cotton farmer gits hall iS21'0l at sign
up time.
GR AIN SORGHUM
Jake a base acreage of 100 acres,
layout 20 acres to get in program
Suppose you have a yield of 100
bushels to the acre. . . take 80 acres
times 100 bushels times 20 cents a
bushel (SlbOO). Then there's a diver-
sion pavment on 10 acres. . . take 100
times SI.50 a bushel ($1500). . . a
total of S3100 and farmer gets half
(SI550) at sign up time.
CORN
Figure the corn program the same
way. except the deficiency payment
will be 21 cents a bushel.
1482 MONEY
Adams said 1482 wheat deficiency
checks and T0"" of cotton and feed
grain deficiency payments would be
paid in December. . . additional cotton
checks will be paid in February, corn
and grain sorghum in April.
House October 11
Fast Ward will be having their

We took along our chain saw and

We know where vou can get all you

Mv older brother tells me that back
in the early 1430's our father paid
SI (X) per cord to get some post oak
wood cut down in Clay County. Later,
he was able to make a terrific profit,
sold some of the wood to the school
lor SI.50 a cord He wasn't able to sell
tt all. and gradually the neighbors
"borrowed" all that was left.
VVY think chain sawing firewood is
prcliv hard work, but back in those
days the job was done with a double

In this day and time when most

Although we miss watching the

high school and college football to take
up the "pigskin slack" in our life.
WE SAW IHE largest crowd at

Highlight of booster club meetings
is the showing ot the game film of the
previous Fridav night. Coach Sullivan
told the club Monday night that the
district games will be filmed in color. .
