Neuher farm hii a ar riea at toWera mounted on whwb that revolve around the LP-Caa tank that auppliea fuel for tM irrigation pomp. Each tower ia equipped with a hydraulic pump which power* the wheels over the (round. The sprinkler line is earned 6' 8' above the (round to clear (rowing corn and ia eelf-propelled in a circle around the well. Irrigation to remove the "lack of moisture" risk from modern farming is fast becoming standard crop insurance practice. ? According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, is take almost 100 billion gallons of water daily in the Ujited about half the fresh water used annua By If a soil moisture cheek shows less than 50% readily svailable moisture ia ths upper three feet, H is time to irrigate. LP -Gee tanks, such as need on the Neuber farm, stand by ready to power irrigation pumps during sny attended period of dry weather. And since fuel is consumed only when the pump is turned on, the fsitaer ha* no stand-by or monthly service charge. The clean-burning fuel ariB not gum up no matter how long it is stored, and tssta show that motor maintenance costs are reduced as much as 80%. Soil Bank Plan May Aid Burley Growers There ire three main ways is which a tobacco farmer may bring his 1990 tobacco acreage into the Acreage Reserve program of the Soil Bank, County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee Chairman B. W. Farth ing said today. He 'explained the three actions as follows: 1. The farmer may underplant his tobacco acreage and certify that this was done in anticipation of complying with the 1990 Acre age Reserve or because of adverse weather conditions, which has been the case in many instances in this county. 2. He may refrain from harvest ing the crop on a portion of his tobacco acreage allotment because of destruction by natural causes. 3. He may plow or otherwise physically incorporate- an agreed upon-acreage of the crop into the soil or clip, mow or cut it before July 31. Points 2 and 3, Mr. Farthing pointed out, are special provisions for the 1996 crop year because of the late enactment of the program. He said it is anticipated that dif ferent provisions will apply to 1997 and succeeding crops under Look at tho trucks that aro ALL-TRUCK New INTERNATIONALS - All-Truck Built to save you the B|G money!

Tobacco fand placed in the Acre age Reserve in any of the above ways, Mr. Farthing said, may not be cut for hay or cropped for the ' 1956 Calendar year and may not be grazed after June 22. Noxious weeds must be controlled on the acreage. Mr. Farthing pointed out that farmers have only until July 20 to sign agreements for participation in the Tobacco Acreage Reserve Program. STUBBORN SNAKES Tampa. Fla.? A mamma rattle snake and her brood of little rat tlers have resisted all efforts of H. W. Carpenter and police to evict them from under Carpenter's front steps. Rifle fire, dousing with a water hose and digging into the ground near the nest all proved futile. The snakes refused to budge. Commercial hatcheries produced \ ot?er 290 million chicki during May. 13 per cent above the output of chicki in Hay last year. For the United SUtci. al wheit production in 18M is forecast at 923 million bushels, the smallest since IMS.
