Added opportunities for cop-
ing with the drouth plaguing the
Southwest has come in the form
of relaxed regulations concern-
ing crop production on non-ir-
rigated set-aside acreage.
A revision has just been re-
leased by the USDA for farmers
in all counties approved for
emergency livestock feeding,
haying or grazing. This will
exempt them from the normal
$10 per acre reduction in farm
program payments for planting
any of the eight allowable crops
on non- irrigated set-aside land.

Cal Gaulden
Completes Study
At Clarendon
Cal Gaulden, son of Mr. and
Mrs. George Gaulden of Archer
City, will graduate from Cla-
rendon College tonight (Thurs-
day), May 13 at 8:30.
College president, K. D.
Vaughan, in a news release
said, "this fine student will
transfer from Clarendon Col-
lege to a four year college to
complete his degree plan. We
wish him our best in his fu-
ture endeavor andweweremo6t
pleased to have had such a fine
young student to attend Claren-
don College the past two years.”
The regulation change will per-
mit more farmers to grow crops
on set-aside land for added
income.
The eight alternate crops are
guar, sunflower, sesame, cas-
tor beans, mustard seed, saf-
flower, crambe and plantago
ovato. Adaptability and avail-
able market facilities restrict
the choices of most Texas non-
irrigated growers to guar and
sunflower.
Guar is adapted in most grain
sorghum producing areas and
growers in the Rolling Plains,
High Plains and South Texas
can consider its production.
The best potential for sunflower
is presently in Central and
South Texas. However the
change in regulations should
encourage more trial plantings.
Castor beans are largely
grown on irrigated land in the
High Plains and producers may
elect to grow it on irrigated
set-aside acreage by accepting
the normal reduction in farm
program payments.
Information concerning guar
and trial plantings of sunflower
can be obtained from the local
county agricultural agent.
