Cotton Allotment Transfers Should
Be Applied For Before January 2nd
Farm operators in Bosque
County were reminded that ap-
plications for the transfei of cot-
ton allotments for the 1968 crop
should be filed no later than
January 2, 1968.
Jack L. Howland, Chairman,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation County Committee,
explains that notices of the cotton
allotment and the projected yield
for individual farms have already
been mailed to county farmers,
so farm operators now are in
position to make their production
plans for next season.
In Bosque County, growers vot
ing in a special referendum earl-
ier this year, failed to approve
transfer of acreage allotments—
by sale or lease—out of the coun-
ty, so the transfer of allotments
locally may be made from one
farm to another only within
Bosque County. In no case may
allotments be transferred to an-
other farm outside the State.
Transfer of allotments from one
farm to another within the county
and the transfer of allotments
between farms (within the State)
which arc owned or controlled by
the same owner are both author-
ized by law and not subject to
approval in a referendum. How-
ever, it is necessary that such
transfers of allotments be filed
with the ASCS county office be-
fore the January deadline.
The January 2, 1968, deadline,
therefore, applies to all transfer
of 1968 cotton allotments for Bos-
que County farms — whether by
sale, lease or by the owner.

Anz doing the TD honors on a
2-yard plunge. The kick failed,
and the tally was 13-0.
Another pass interception at
mid field by Haywood set up
the Cubs’ third score. Four
plays later Anz broke over left
tackle and went through red
defenders for 38 yards for the
final score.
Golden’s kick was good, and
the score was 20-0 with 2:44 left
in the game.

Railroads Pay
$18,222 in Local
Taxes in County
Seriously, Mr. Appleby was
right. These exceptional kids
have kpet their heads under the
best pressures and to apis that
Texas Class A football could
produce, and we’re so proud of
them that we have gone'crazy.
They have the work to do, but
all us fans are supporting them
and letting off a certain amount
of steam. These kjds have done
something none of their pre-
decessors have been able to do
and in spite of it have kept
their heads.
The rest of us admit we’ve
gone goofy, but we’re having
the most fun we ever had!
P. S. The green ink we order-
ed last week, which we told
dozens of folks that we’d use
for The Record didn’t come in.
We are surely hoping it gets
here in time for next week’s
paper.
Current annual taxes paid to
the various government agencies
by Texas railroads in Bosque
County totaled $18,222, it is an-
nounced by the Texas Railroad
Association.
That amount was the county’s

PERSONALS..
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bluntzer.
Rhonda and Brenda Bonham, of
Corpus Christi and Nancy Bon-
ham of San Marcos spent the
their own right of way and other
property.
The biggest railroad contribu-
tion was to the school systems
throughout the state. Large sums
were also distributed to city, vil-
lage and county governments and
for road and bridge funds.
In addition, of course, was the
large total in taxes the railroads’
33,410 Texas employees contribut-
ed on their own property. The
vast majority of rail workers,
many of whom live in Bosque
County, own their own homes.
"With the future of our country
and state depending to a great
extent upon the education of our
youth, I am delighted that nearly
half of the taxes paid by the
railroads go to support the
schools,” said Walter Caven, gen-
eral counsel of the Texas Rail-
road Association.
“Recognizing this need for edu-
cation, many of the railroads op-
erating in Texas also make schol-
arships available to a large num-
ber of students every year."
