Payments Made To Farmers
About 94 percent of the
1970 farm program payments
earned by producers in Yanaey
County have been made, ac
cording to J. W, Tomberlin,the
Chairman of the Yancey Cou
nty Agricultural Stabilization &
AS C) Committee.
"Thanks to the fine cooper
ation of participating farmers,
we are well on the way to com
pleting payments in the feed
grain program. The U.S. De
partment of Agriculture this
year made a commitment to
make farm payments earlier
than ever before— —and we are
keeping that commitment,"he
said.
The ASC Committee Chair
man said that in previous yais
partial payments had bem made
in advance to feed grain parti
cipants. Budget restraints this
year made it impossible to
make any farm payments be- *
fore July 1, the beginning of
the Government's fiscal year.
"As soon as that date arriv
ed, however, farm program
payments began. We ecpectto
complete them within the next
3 weeks here in Yancey Coun
ty, which will be the earliest
date ye have ever complete d
farm program payments, 'Tom
berlin added.
He commented that produ
cers participating in the farm
programs have earned payments
by helping stabilize markets &
by giving up the use of prodto
tive cropland that would other
wise have been put into cash
crops on other income-produ
cing uses. Instead, they main
tain the land in conserving vse
which helps prevent soil etc -
sion and air and water pollu -
tion.
"Agricultural productivity
almost doubled in the past 20
years, but farmers' markets
take only about a third of this
increase," said Mr.Tomberlia
This means we need new mar
kets. Farm programs help us
hold down farm production &
maintain farm income until
new markets are developed and
old' ones expanded. It helps

Programs also help producers

Tomberlin said success of
the early-payment plan has
hinged on close cooperation
by farmers, and results have
been gratifying. Virtually all
Yancey County participants ac
curately certified their com
pliance with farm program re
quirements as soon as possible.

Insurance Note
If your insurance company
compensates you for the living
expenses of yourself and mem
bers of your household because
you cannot occupy your resi
dence due to fire or other ca
sualty, such income is now tax
free, according to J.E. Wall,
District Director of IRS. This
is but one of the many tax
saving provisions of the Tax
Reform Act of 1969, he said.
The law providing for tax-free
living expense insurance is re
troactive to cover all of 1969.
Prior to then, all such income
was fully taxable.
Wall also said that if you
are denied access to your prin
cipal abode by a governmental
authority because of a casualty
or threat of casualty, insurance
proceeds for living expenses
during such an emergency are
not subleof to fiiiftw

is not only phosphate free,
but is also rapidly biodegrad
able. It breaks down natural
ly in three days, after disposal
to waterways, as compared
to about three weeks for the
present-day synthetic laundry
detergents. Laundering experts
have long considered soap and
softened water as a superior
and economical cleaning com
bination. Thus, commercial
and institutional laundries
have used this combination for
many years. They find that
softened water provides excel

and in addition, lengthens
