Feed Grain Signup
Ends March 10
Farmers who intend to sign
up in the 1972 Feed Grain or
Wheat Set-Aside Programs
must do so no later than March
10 according to Ralph Ramsey,
ASCS Director for Madison
County.
Ramsey went on to say that
during the first three weeks of
the sign-up farmers have been
somewhat slow in enrolling in
this year's programs. He says
this is probably due in part to
changes which give farmers
several options and they have
been studying these options
before making a final decision.
According to Ramsey,
producers have more alter
natives under this year's
programs than they have had in
the past and naturally each
farmer wants to take the option
which will best fit his particular
farm. Regardless of the option a
producer selects for his farm,
he can expect to reap greater
program benefits than were
provided under the 1171
Program in that the set -aside
will cover greater portion of
his corn base or wheat allot
ment and the payment rates per
acre are also higher on the feed
grain set-aside acreage.
Ramsey arged producers who
desire additional m formation en
the previsions of this year's
programs to contact (be ASCS
Office where an employee will
explain In detail tht various
options which be may choose
from in taking part m the.
program. He concluded by

proximately one-half of the out-of-the-pocket

Book Club
Met With
Mrs. Tweed
The Marshall Book Club met
with Mrs. J. B. Tweed on
Monday afternoon, Feb. 21, at
five o'clock. Mrs. Walter
Ramsey reviewed "The Closing
Circle," by Barry Commoner,
faculty member of Washington
University located in St. Louis,
Mo. Dr. Commoner writes of
the origins of the environmental
crisis and of the possibilities of
its cure. Mrs. Ramsey cited
such facts from the book
proving that all things in the
earth are so inter -related that
survival of man depands on his
making sure that the balance is
not disturbed. Man has now
literally broken out of the circle
himself and unless he
disciplines himself, and makes
use of the technology he now has
developed, within the next 20 to
50 years he cannot survive.
Causes of the crisis relate
directly to man's misuse of the
environment. Cures suggested
in the book are well within the
control of man and the book
makes excellent reading. ( It is
available at the County
library.)
Members present were Mrs.
R. R. Ramsey, Mrs. J. L
Baker, Mrs. Clyde Roberts,
Mrs. John Corbett, Mrs. Paul
Dinwiddie, Mrs. J. L. McEIroy,
Mrs. James Story, Mrs.

and Mrs. Tweed. Following the
review members traveled to

Taylor Supports
Development
Act Of 1972
Congressman Roy A. Taylor
Wednesday gave strong support
to the Rural Development Act of
1972, which passed the House.
In a floor speech, Ren. Taylor
said the bill "offers a strong
promise for improving the
quality of life in our rural areas
and at the same time gives
rural citizens an alternative to
migrating to our nation's large
metropolitan centers. "
The tut; District
Congreaaman explained
the legislation would extend the
authority of the Fanners Home
Administration to make rural
business loans and loans to
small towns and communities
for water and sewer projects
and other community facility
improvements.
Rep. Taylor said the bill
would also provide financial Rid
to farmers who are required by
federal regulations to snend
money in eliminating poUtttian
produced on the farm by cattle,
poultry and other livestock.
"Some 20 million Americans
have been "forced from rural to
urban' areas since 1949, This
migration has left in its wake a
crushed rural America wit a
countryside that' provides too
few economic and soqUd op
portunities for tx few
people," declared Taylor.
The other side of the fee
said, has been the Croatian f
new, often overwhelming
problems in the cities which
most cannot adequately beadle.
Rep. Taylor asserted that
while the bill win not cure
all ills, "it is a serious, im
portant effort to change fbe
migration pattern through a
careful new investment In the
future of our rural regions."
