April 11 Is Signup Deadline
The Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service is currently
accepting applications for the 1906
feed grain, wheat and cotton
acreage reduction programs. The
signup period ends April 11.
Kenneth White, county officer, says
fanners may report the acres and
intended use of their wheat oats,
barley, rye, and other fall-seeded
crops when they sign up for the
programs, and thus avoid having to
make a separate visit to the county
office to certify.
.Small grains not reported by May
* 1 will be ineligible for program
benefits. Mr. White said.
To be ehgible far price support
loans, deficiency payments and
other farm program benefits,
producers are required to report
their actual acres planted for
harvest.
ASCS randomly checks farms to
verify that acreage reports are
accurate. The acreage reports are
used to determine compliance with
farm programs and provide
documentation for future programs.
Farmers who may be undecided
about the acreage reduction
programs or who have questions
about certifying their fall-seeded
crops are encouraged to contact the
comanche County ASCS office for
more information.

THOUGHTS FOR LIVING
By Altha WOkerson
The wind this morning, Tuesday,
is really wild. I didn’t realize how
strong it was until I got out to walk
about 9:30. I don’t know why,
because I could see how it was
whipping the pine trees outside my
window. Nevertheless, Rosalia and I
started out on our usual route. All
the time we were going south, we
had to work hard to keep going.
Then, when we turned north on
Houston, it blew us along with it. We
didn’t enjoy our walk, but we made
it.
This is not going to get in in time
for this week’s paper, but while I’m
resting, I’ll write it anyway. Then it
will be ready for next week.
Jim and I had a nice weekend wth
all our children - sounds like we
have a bunch when I spy it like that,
doesn’t it? Well, you see, I call
Quata and Michael ours, too, as well
as all five of the grandchildren.
That way, we dQ have & bunch of
children. On Saturday evening, late,
we met Paul Ray and Quata in
Stephenvilie for dinner. Brad was
along, but Curtis was working. Also,
on Saturday, we had a call from
Vicki. She wanted to share her good
news that she had now completed
her basic training at Camp
McClellan, Alabama. She will stay
there and enter nine weeks of
training to qualify as an M.P. Then
she expects to be sent to Germany. I
use the work “expect” because I’ve
always been told you can never
depend on what you are told will
happen in the military service.
Anyway, she was very excited over
her accomplishment. She also told
me that in her group for M.P.
training, there would be 170 men and
25 women and added, “And I am
going to love that!” Now doesn’t
that sound perfectly normal for a
nineteen year old girl?
On Sunday, after Sunday School
was over, Jim and I headed for
Austin for an overnight visit with our
other family. We had such a nice
drive down and a lovely visit.
Bradley asked us Monday morning
if he could come home with us - as if
he had to ask such a question! We
left Austin about 2:30 and had a safe
trip home along with progress
reports quite often as to how many
miles we had come, how many more
to go and the approximate time it
would take to cover those miles. He
was with Brian Waller before we
could unload the car. Brian shared a
pizza with us and spent the night
here with Bradley. I managed to
keep them here long enough to eat
pancakes and sausage; then it was,
“Is it all right if we get out with our
bicycles?” The last I’ve seen of

them they were going out the door
and Bradley called, “I’ll be checking
in.” I am not sure whether that will
be at meal time or when he runs out
of energy - which isn’t very often!
At least, whether it’s at meal time or
otherwise, I’m looking for him when
he gets hungry. I’m glad he wanted
to come with us. Usually they are so
tied up with ball or school that they
have no time to come stay a few
days.
