Congressman 17th District
The House Agriculture Commit-
tee has focused considerable atten-
tion this year to discussions about
farm and ranch risk management. I
believe this needs to be a two step
process, and I have been working to
address short term problems and to
find long term solutions.
For the last several weeks, the
Committee's Republican and Demo-
crat Members have worked together
to develop improvements in the crop
insurance program in an effort to
make it more effective for producers.
In the short term, we are propos-
ing increases in premium subsidies
for producers who buy crop insur-
ance, in order to make all policies
more affordable.
We will soon consider legislation
to address the concerns of crop pro-
d ucers whose insurance coverage lev-
els have been forced downward be-
cause of recent disasters. If this bill is
enacted, producers will be able to
adjust their personal histories in a
way that will take some of the sting
out of the effects of the consecutive,
multiple disasters we have experi-
enced in West Texas in recent years.
While I believe specific provi-
sions of the Committee's bill are help-
ful, I am concerned that too much
emphasis is being placed on yield
coverage at a time when producers
are facing uncertainty about total farm
revenue and the viability of their op-
erations. Producers need another risk
management tool in their "arsenal" in
order to manage year-to-year declines
in revenue. For this reason, I intend to
offer additions to the bill to further
enhance producers' risk management
options for the short term.
During Committee markup of the
crop insurance legislation, I offered
an amendment to put in place a pro-
gram to provide Supplemental In-
come Payments - the SIP program.
SIP payments would be made to pro-
ducers of wheat, corn and other feed
grains, cotton, rice and oilseeds when
the current year’s national gross rev-
enue for the crop falls below 90% of
the average national gross revenue of
the previous five years for that com-
modity.
When the revenue for the crop
falls below the threshold level, each
grower who planted that crop would
be entitled to receive a direct cash
payment calculated to replace the lost
income. The program would serve as
the key policy for managing the risk
associated with dramatic revenue
declines that affect producers from
year to year. My amendment was not

Dement
Tuesday morning, Rose Wooten
taught the Bible lesson. Her subject
was Daniel and his story of his walk
with God. He was one of the most
faithful characters in the Bible. David
said, "I will not defile myself by the
King's meat or drink his wine." Daniel
was a man who had made his deci-
sion to be a follower of God.
After Daniel interpreted a dream
for the king he was elevated to a high
status in Babylon.
Daniel remembered God, even
though he was a captive. He prayed to
God three times a day. Some jealous
men did not want him to be friends
with the king, so they made a law
that, he would have to fall down and
worship the king. But Daniel would
not pray to anyone but God.
Because Daniel broke the law, the
king had him thrown in with a den of
hungry lions. Daniel prayed to God
and God sent an angel to close the
lion's mouth.
Next day the king went to see
about Daniel and found him safe. The
king, Darius was so happy, the king
wanted everyone to worship the true
God of Daniel.
Wednesday morning, Rev. Ava
Berry brought the B ible study on two
remarkable human beings from Num-
bers 22:1-12 and Deuteronomy 5.
Both were blessed by God; both
were talented and both were given
challenging opportunities. One we
still revere today; his name is Moses.
The other is forgotten by general
history; his name is Balaam and his
donkey saved him from disaster.
In the last third of his life, Moses
led a nation out of slavery and to the
very edge of their Promised Land and
in the process received the Ten Com-
mandments. He loved God and
walked daily with Him. Leading his
people was not a picnic. They were
stubborn and rebellious.
We don’t know much about
Balaam. He seems also to have a
special relationship with God. At first
he wanted to do God's will, but he
argued three times with God’s plan.
Balaam died in shame, a victim of his
own talent's and greed.
The biographies of both:
Balaam
Act 1 - Talent.
Act 2 - Opportunity.
Act 3 -Temptation.
Act 4 - Shame and Distrusting.
Moses
Act 1 - Talent.
Act 2 - Opportunity.
Act 3 - Temptation.
Act 4 - Victory and Honor.
Thursday morning the Rev.
Charles Fischer brought the Bible
study on the subject "Are You God's
Servant?"
Service and worship are different
today from before Christ. Where once
in worship they prostrated themselves
before God in prayer, we now kneel
before Him. Service is action to serve
others.
In churches today we segregate
ourselves into groups men, women,
children, male, female, and preacher.
Service is to do the least of these.
to be more effective is to know the
will of God. He has a will for my life.
I am to walk in the fruit of the Spirit
as a godly life and walk godly with
others. Each of us have a talent. We
are urged to present our bodies as a
living sacrifice. Our old self has an
attitude. A godly servant lives in a
Holy sacrifice, all in the name of
Christ. Our outside will match our
inside. Consider ourselves behind
everyone else, and do not feel supe-
rior to others prove the will of God
and seek will and purpose of God.
Tuesday, Mr. R. C. Kirkland
brought the residents a bunch of fresh
vegetables from his garden. Yummy!
They taste so much better than canned
vegetables. Thank you, Mr. Kirkland!
Friday morning, Deanie Green
read the Throckmorton Tribune to
the residents. We enjoy the Tribune
each week. She is also the caller for
Bingo, twice weekly Tuesdays and
Saturdays. She is a wonderful volun-
teer and we appreciate her.
Saturday morning, the Reading
Class found this Prayer for Motor-
ists:
Teach us to drive through life with-
out skidding into other people’s busi-
ness. Preserve our brake linings, that
we may stop before we go too far.
Help us to hear the knocks in our own
motors and close our ears to the clash-
ing of other people’s gears. Keep al-
cohol in our radiators and out of our
stomachs. Absolve us of the mania of
trying to pass the others automobile
on a narrow road. Open our eyes to
the traffic signs and keep our feet on
the brakes.

Sunday morning, Donna Frazier
taught the Sunday School lesson from
Luke 12:13-21 on the subject "The
Secular Life."
People who base their lives on
secular values miss life's true pur-
pose and lose everything in the end.
We can find lasting satisfaction
only by seeking to place God First in
our concerns and our decisions.
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Silas
Short, Church of Christ, gave the
church service t the residents on the
subject of life giving blood.
Astounding things are happening
in discoveries of the blood. Blood is
the life of our bodies. The blood of
Christ cleanses us.
The wages of sin is death. Lots of
people live daily in sin. Sin causes
spiritual death. The son of God came
to seek and to save sinners. His blood
was shed - no other way to receive
salvation but by blood of Christ. The
blood of lambs and goats, was the
former way of atonement. It is im-
possible for blood of animals to jus-
tify. Blood underlaw is just a shadow
of Jesus blood.
Jesus bore our transgressions.
Jesus has done for us what blood of
goats cannot do.
Jesus gave us two new Command-
ments. "Love the Lord your God with
all your mind, heart, and strength and
love your neighbor as yourself."
Recent out-of-town visitors of
Gladine Dement were her niece and
husband Carolyn and Dee Tate of
Wichita Falls; nephew Lanny Price
of Lubbock; and great-nieces Allyson
and Katie Price of Round Rock.
