An all-time record enrollment
was set by Panhandle schools
by noon Tuesday iyhen 838
pupils had enrolled for this
school term, James R. Cox, sup-
erintendent, announced.
Last year’s opening enrollment
was only 763 compared to this
year’s 838 for a gain of 75.
Officials had estimated at least
800 students, and probably 825,
but did not except the 838 rec-
ord enrollment.
Supt. Cox said Tuesday that
“chairs, desks and pupils are
coming out about even. If we
grow much more we will need
to provide more seating.”

List allotment changes
Several changes have been
made in the method of deter-
mining wheat history acreage for
wheat allotments on which the
wheat allotment is underseeded.
The change is required by law
and will be in effect for the 1960
crop, Louis Grayson, county ASC
manager reported.
The following is a direct quo-
tation from the law: “You do not
need to plant wheat for 1960
harvest to obtain maximum his-
tory acreage credit for 1960 if
(1) the actual planted acreage of
wheat in either 1958 or 1959 was
equal to 75 percent of your, farm
allotment, or,
“(2) the actual planted acreage

ducers that his office was ready
to answer all questions concern-
ing the changes and invited all
interested persons to make use
