Aerial photography is being used by the ASCS office and the majority of farms in the county have been marked off and the cropland redetermined since last year. In most cases, visual inspection of the photo graphs will be sufficient to make farm divisions and com binations. Agreements between produc ers on divisions of burley al lotments cannot be accepted by the ASC County Committee, but the regulations are more flexible now than in the past and do permit variation in the allotment established on di vided tracts of up to ten per cent of the parent farm allot ment.

Marketing Of Wool, Lambs Should Be Detailed In Dec. Growers are reminded to complete all details of market ing wool and lambs not later than Dec. 31, 1966, in order to receive payments for the cur rent marketing year. Faith Michael, Watauga ASCS Wool Clerk, points out that marketings completed af ter that date will be eligible for payments for the 1967 marketing year. Since the wool marketing year now is on a calendar-year basis, the sale will not be considered as tak ing place in the 1966 market ing year if any part of a sale of lambs or wool is not settled by Dec. 31. This means that all the in formation needed to complete the sales documents and show the net sales proceeds for wool has to be determined and avail able by Dec. 31 in order to be eligible for wool program pay ments for the 1966 marketing year. Under program regula tions, wool is not marketed until title has passed to the buyer, the wool has been de livered to the buyer either physically or through docu ments which trrrsfer control to the buyer, and all the in formation—such as price per pound, weight, yield, etc. — needed to determine the buy er’s total purchase price is available. Payments for the 1966 mar keting year will begin about April of next year, after the program payment rates are de termined, based on the aver age prices received by produc ers for shorn wool sold in 1966. Payments for the 1967 mar keting year on marketings tak ing place or completed after Dec. 31 will be made in the spring of 1968. Wool producers may file ap plications for payment for the 1966 marketing year with ASCS County Offices any time between now and the end of January. Producers received a total of $2430.65 in Hay for their 1965 marketings under the Wool Incentive Program. Mail To Be Airlifted To Overseas Posts Boone Postmaster Ralph L. Beshcars announces that henceforth all first class mail, personal sound recordings (voice letters), and parcels weighing 5 pounds or less and measuring not more than 60 inches in length and girth combined, will be airlifted on a space available basis be tween the United States and all military post offices over seas. Also, under Public Law 89 725—The Dulski Military Act —which was signed by Presi dent Johnson Nov. 2, second class publications such as newspapers and maga z i n e s published weekly or more of ten, and featuring current news of interest to the mili tary, will be airlifted from San Francisco to the armed forces serving in Vietnam. Postmaster Beshears ex plained that parcels weighing 5 (founds or less and not ex ceeding 60 inches in length and girth com-biiled,' paid at surface rate, will be mdved by surface transportation within the United States from the points of mailing to the port of embarkation. To speed up separation and delivery of these smaller par cels falling within this cate gory, Postmaster General Law rence F. O’Brien directed that all parcels be clearly marked upon acceptance at the post office with the letters SAM (surface airlift mail). This will eliminate the task of weighing and measuring the parcels at the San Fran cisco Concentration Center prior to dispatch to Vietnam or other overseas military post offices. Postmaster Beshears also re minded mailers that Christ mas parcels weighing 5 pounds and under, though they are given airlift priority from San Francisco to Vietnam on a space available basis, should be mailed no later than Dec. 1. Airmal, he said, should be sent no later than Dec. 10.
