Coast Guard Lists Tips
For Winterizing Boats
Boat owners can prevent
major weather damage and
long delays in beginning
next year’s boating season
by taking a few
* precautionary steps this fall
and winter.
The following measures
are recommended by the
U.S. Coast Guard as a
general way of winterizing
recreational boats:
1. If you remove your boat
from the water, make sure
you store it with adequate
support all around and not
just with one or two points
carrying all the weight. Put
it under cover or place a
weatherproof tarp over it
leaving away for air to
circulate through and
around the boat.
2. For outboard motors
that use an electric starter,
remove the battery, take it
home and put it on trickle
charge. If you leave your
boat in the water (inboard
cruisers and auxiliary'
sailboats) and use the
battery to run an automatic
bilge pump, arrange to have
the battery placed on trickle
charge at the marina and
have it monitored.
3. Outboard motors should
be flushed with fresh water
and stored upright and out
of the weather (in your
basement or garage). If
your outboard is too large to
remove from the boat,
make sure it is well covered
against the elements.
4. On inboard engines,
drain the engine block after
closing the raw water in
take. If the engine is cooled
by fresh water heat ex
changer system, you can
either drain the system or
add sufficient anti-freeze to
prevent freezing.
5. Portable fuel tanks
should be drained. Installed
tanks should be filled with
fuel and have a fuel stabil
izer added.
6. If you live in an area
where ice sometimes forms
‘ld tJfoWAtbr you : store 1 yotiP 1
boat th, arrange to have a
water disturbing device,
THE <?K>WAN HEftALD
such as a bottom water
circulator or a “bubbler”, to
keep the area around the
boat ice free.
7. No matter what kind of
boat you have, no matter
whether you keep it in the
water or in unattended dry
storage, check it over at
least once a week. It cannot
take care of itself!

boat and engine from winter

Crop Acreage Report
A report of the 1977 crop
acreages is needed for every
farm in order that a normal
crop acreage can be
established for the farm.
Producers cannot have
target price and disaster
coverage for 1978 until the
acreage is reported. This
normal crop acreage will
represent the farm’s normal
total acrage of the following
crops: barley, wheat, oats,
rye, grain sorghum, com
and soybeans and will be
used in 1978 and future years
to administer the set-aside
and other provisions of the
new Food and Agriculture
Act of 1977. Farm operators
who have not filed their 1977
crop acreage reports at the
ASCS office should do so
immediately.
1978 Wheat Program
Producers who wish to be
eligible for loans, deficiency
payments, or disaster
coverage on wheat or any
other crop included in the
“Normal Crop Acreage”
must set aside an acreage
equal to 20 per cent of the
what acreage planted for
harvest as grain in 1978.
There is not payment for the
set-aside acreage. The set
aside acreage can be on any
cropland tilled at least one
of the past three years in the
i production of a crop, other
'* than hky or pasture. It can
’be 4 below 1 average in
productivity. The area
damage, consult your
owners manual or contact
your local marine dealer.
To get yourself ready for
next year’s boating season,
you might consider taking
one of the many free boating
courses available. For in
formation on class
schedules, contact your
nearest Coast Guard
Auxiliary Flotilla, U.S.
Power Squadron, Red Cross
Chapter or State Boating
Authority.
should be at least 5 acres
unless it comprises the total
set-aside acreage. The set
aside cannot be new ground.
1978 Prevented Planting
A change in the prevented
planting provision for 1978
made by the Food and
Agriculture Act of 1977
requires the County Com
mittee to establish that the
planting of the crop in
question was intended but
was prevented by a disaster
before approving a
prevented planting payment
for a feed grain, rice, wheat,
or upland cotton. Producers
intending to plant barley or
wheat this fall, who are
prevented by a disaster
from doing so, must file a
prevented planting report
immediately to be con
sidered for a . prevented

Peanut Marketing Cards
Peanut producers should
return their peanut
marketing cards as soon as
all sales from the farm have
been completed. Peanuts
are going under an acreage
poundage program for 1978
and these cards are needed
to determine the farm yield.
Don’t overcrowd your
refrigerator by piling food
oh top of food unless it is
necessary for a short period.
Space is needed around food
containers for air cir
