The maximum to tal possible diversion for the three feed grains—corn, grain sorghum and barley con tinues at 50 per cent of a participating farm’s base acreage. As in 1969, producers of coin, sorghum or barley can qualify for participation in the program by diverting to conserving uses 20 j>er cent of their farm’s base acreage. Except for small farms, no diversion payment will be made on this first 20 per cent reduction. Payment rates for addi tional diversion are based on 40 per cent of the total coun ty price support (loan plus support payments) times the farm’s projected yield of the crops involved. The 40 per cent payments rate compares with 45 per cent in 1969. , Price-support payment rates remain as in 1969—30 cents per bushel for com, 53 cents per hundredweight for sorg hum and 20 cents per bushel for barley. A farm’s entire price-support payment is cal culated by multiplying the per bushel price-support pay ment times the farm's pro jected yield times the small er of the planted acreage or 50 per cent of the farm’s base. The small farm provision is the same as in previous years. A farm with a base of 25 acres or less can qualify fir payment on the first 20 per cent of its acreage divert ed. Larger farms received no payment for the first 20 per cent reduction. Acreage di version payment rates on small farms making use of the provision will be based on 20 per cent of the total coun ty support rate times pro jected yield on the first 20 per cent reduction. Small faims can qualify for the regular 40 per cent payment rate on the remaining acre age. Producers with feed grain base acreage up to 125 acres will have the option of tem porarily reducing their base down to 25 acres to become eligible for the small farm provision. However, no corn, sorghum or barley is to be planted for harvest on such a farm, and ti>e diverted 25 acres must be devoted to con serving uses. Under the 1970 program, upper limits will be estab lished on the per-bushel rate which will be paid for addi tional diversion. The maxi mum payments are 60 cents per bushel for corn, 55 cents per bushel for sorghum and *45 cents per bushel for bar Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, January 8, 1970 ley. Soybeans planted in lieu of feed grains will not earn price-support payment Sub stitution provisions relating to wheat and feed grain acre ages will be continued as In previous years. Other program details, such as the production of substi tute crops on diverted acres, will be announced prior to signup time, February 2- March 20. Price-support loan rates on all feed grains are unchang ed from 1969. However, corn loan rates, while unchanged, will be quoted at national av erage of SI.OB per bushel, “No.* 2” basis. This is equal tc. last year’s quotation of $1.05 for average quality. Other 1970 national loan levels will be as follows: grain sorghum, $1.61 per hundredweight; barley, 83 cents per bushel; oats, 63 cents per bushel; rye, $1.02 per bushel. Price support is mandatory under law of oats and rye, but there are no provisions for acreage limita tions.

The rates are: $3.00 plus 80 cents per acre with a $7.50 minimum per farm. 1970 Lease And Transfers The ASCS office is now taking applications for lease and transfer of 1970 flue cured tobacco and/or peanuts.

Or, on big index cards \yrite your name, address, phone, rates, times available and special qualifications (life saving skills, driver’s license, musical talent). Hand out to mothers in your area—watch bookings soar, income come in! Flatten out! If your new bikini shows a tummy-bulge, get to work to flatten it out before beach-time. Lie on your back on the floor, feet up on the side of your bed. Swing up, touch toes and slowly, slowly lie back down, extending arms back over your head. Repeat, working up gradually to 10 times. Do this toughie every morning for a month and you’ll be well on your way to a pan cake-flat middle. i i ogreat tire buyin its price range... * 1 \m\vji s\ yx \ j mm Hpm 11 xy //My \ \ y ai o\» ) w A \ < • ~ /\M // <aK Y y I ’\w>XA /A#/ / i Buy at these a A;, m:/./ »\/ / « A V 6so> 13 Y Y 1 tubeless Plus Fed prices I V w > / JB El 1 : y / < w* and oia tire .. »dd »i.so fo* whitewuls ANY OF THESE SIZES :»■■■ I fl i I'lllllliiilHlßßß^M^^Wilr blackwall tubeless G YEA^f iijii I Ljj^■#Pl|ly INSTANTGOfOWER ' in stride fcvoit < sin me emsmct immer «mn«cr f^,t^ u | , | II 6.70x15 Tuba-type i|B ABB «B|| $2.42 § Q- y 8 sl^*so ! 7.00x13 Tubeless jU JLE 52.34 » <MSi'"‘mS2l) 1 ' 7.00x14 Tubetese %Mm MBB $2.64 Put one of these batteries under your hood today and get t i •Wus Us ‘and recappeble tit. - tirliMiU neW Go-Power at this low-low price.
