These final pay 1 enefits will cesyei both the diver sion and price nuapeit payments earned by producer! for diverting a portion or all of their 1965 feed trrain bases to a conserving use. Ramsey stated that hist spring when farmers signed up to take part in the 1965 feed grain pro gram, advance payments equival ent to half ef the estimated total diversion payment to be earned un der tlie program was issued to those desiring an advance pay ment. A total of 387 farms with in the county enrolled in this year's program last spring, of which about 96 were issued ad vance diversion payments in the amount of 120,790.18. In total, this year's payments to county producers for diverting some 1242 acres ef their corn bases to an approved conservation use are es timated to about $49,000.00. The payments now being issued repre sents the balance of the diversion payment due and all of the price support payment earned under the program. Ramsey explained that the thr, being given to via ... basic .objectives of the feed program are: (1) To increase farm income; (2) To reduce sur plus socks of feed grains and, (8) To reduce government storage cost and that the results of the pro gram during each of the four years it has been in effect, show that the program is fulfilling all objectives. In conclusion, it was pointed out that even though final pay ments are being issued some four and one-half months prior to the end of the effective program year that producers enrolled must con tinue to comply with all porgram requirements or become subject to penalties for non-compliance.

Board Director William Mc- Cachren said Monday the board "will not call these two classifica tions under the rules we are now playing. But those rules may change." President Johnson doubled the draft call for September to about 36,000 because of the Viet Nam crisis. McCachren said the North Carolina September draft call would be increased from 328 to 929. Under the new policy, he said, college students will be required to carry the full semester course load requtoed by their college be fore the .students are exempt from the draft. The reclassification of married men, MeCaehren said, "will be to give us a better idea as to whe ther they are childless or have a child, or maybe divorced." The college crackdown, he said "means a boy who is a sophomore at North Carolina State, let's say, finished an accredited semes ter last June and is working as a life guard at the beach this sum mar. "When he returns to school this fall the college will send us a form saying whether he is a full time or part-time student," Mc Cachren said. "If he is a part time student we will send him a letter to come for an examina tion." The board wflffeclessify part- Speakftime students in October.
