September 11 when he
tagged the off-proposed
limitation of government
farm program payments
to individual farmers as
"a form of economically
forced agrarian land re-
form.”
He used the term in a
session with top U. S.
Department of Agri-
culture officials at which
producers and other eco-
nomic interests from
across the Cotton Belt
presented a solid front
against a limit on pay-
ments.
Anderson said of the
meeting “We pulled out
all stops and fired all
guns at the people in the
Department in an effort
to convince them they
should firmly and expli-
citly go on record as being
opposed to payment limi-
tations in any form or
fashion aa a feature of
future farm programs.
And I believe we gave
them some new thoughts
on the issue.”
The "agrarian land re-
form” tall was hung on
payment limitations a s
the result of a study by
PCG which showed that
a ceiling of 320,000 on
government payments to
one farmer would throw
on the market for sale
or lea** about 17 percent
of the cotton, wheat and
feed grains acreage in
Texas.
That’s the percentage

There WILL be a football game tonight in Chieftain
stadium. The CHS “B” team plays Lubbock Christian
High School.
The freshman homemaking students are studying child
care and must babysit as a project. Shelley Havens
was going to babysit with Weldon Fletchers’ son while
they went out to eat, but that left their three week old
baby. So it was decided that Shelley’s mother, Mary,
would keep the baby.
Only catch was that Mary had to go to a meeting.
Shelley’s father, KENNETH, ended up doing the baby-
sitting with the baby with the help of son, Tim. Now
that’s FAMILY PARTICIPATION!
When we finally get to call Ralls toll-free does that
include Cone and Caprock? Since we have a number
of families there with children in school here and In
Scouts and other activities where toll-free calls would
be beneficial, I certainly hope so. Hear that, General
Telephone?
