Page 2-A Puppets At White Oak Tim, Andrew Tell Students About Reading Hie diildren of White Oak School were delighted by a visit from Tim and Andrew last Friday. The visitors were two adorable puppets who shared with them the importance and excitement of reading books. Unofficially representing the Governor’s State Primary Reading Program, Tim and Andrew urged the children to read for fun, excitement and to broaden their minds. The pupils were also told that they can overcome bordom by becoming anything or doing anything they want to in their minds through reading. Dianne Terry and Anne McClure, the puppeteers, are members of the White Oak P.T.A. and presented the program as a project of that organization. SHOPI. N.S. AT W. E.

ASCS News Chowan County ASCS Office has received in formational material on The Food and Agricultural Act Os 1977 and currently is in the process of setting up quotas on peanuts, a new requirement. H.O. West, executive director, said farmers are being encouraged to turn in their marketing cards since no work can be done on a particular farm until the cards have been returned to ASCS. West said of primary in terest in this area are sections of the new act dealing with cotton, peanuts and soybeans. TITLE VI: Cotton Beginning in 1978 there will be a new cotton program with all program benefits tied to planted acres instead of the allotment system. Loan Prices: To be the lower of (1) 85 per cent of the four preceding marketing years average price at average location in the U.S. for SLM l-one sixteenth cotton, or, (2) 90 per cent of the average adjusted price for the first two weeks of October of the five lowest quotes for SM 1- one-sixteenth inch cotton, C.I.F. Northern Europe. The loan level will be announced no later than November 1 of the calendar year preceding the market year in which the loan will be effective. The present 10- month-loan period is con tinued; an added eight month loan period will be available except when the average price of SLM l-one sixteenth cotton is 130 per cent of the average price of such cotton for the preceding 36-month period. A special world import quota for a 21-day domestic mill supply of cotton will be opened up for any month when the average price exceeds 130 per cent of the average spot market price for the preceding three years. This special quota will have 90 days in which to arrive in fins'U.S. Disaster Payments, *7B and ’79 crops: Prevented Planting: one-third of target price on 75 per cent of normal yields; other requirements are the same as for wheat and feed grains. Low Yield: one-third of target price on any short fall in production below 75 per cent of normal yield times the acreage planted. Set-Aside: The Secretary may require set-aside of no more than 28 per cent of planted acres. In addition, payments may be offered to farmers to divert cropland to conserving uses in ad dition to set-aside. Normal crop acreage must be reduced by amount of set aside. TITLE VIII: Peanuts A new program with a two price system begins with the ’7B crop. Starting in 1978 a national allotment of 1,614,000 acres will be the minimum assigned to allotment holders for total production of quota and non quota peanuts. Minimum national poundage quotas eligible for quota support: 1,680,000 tons in 1978 to 1,440 thousand tons in 1981. Acreage equivalents are 1,300,000 acres in 1978 to 1,114,000 acres in 1981. The poundage quota will be raised if the minimum quota for a crop year will not be enough to meet estimated requirements for domestic edible and related use plus reasonable carryover. It may also be raised at the Secretary’s discretion (a) as a result of pre-season short supply determinations originating with growers of a particular type of peanuts and (b) if it is necessary to channel “additional production” of a particular type to quota uses during the marketing year. “Additional production” is defined as peanuts marketed hi excess of quota peanuts, but not in excess of actual production from file farm acreage allotment. PreUmJaary farm yield will be established for each allotment holder, based on the average of Ms best three years out of the 1978-1977 crop period, THE CHOWAN HTTP Ain determine each grower’s share of the national marketing quota. Lease and transfer of peanut allotment will be permitted and not subject to discretion ot the Secretary, as under former law. For production under poundage quotas, minimum support rates would be specified at $420 per ton but the Secretary would have discretion to increase the minimum on the basis of the index of prices paid by farmers and factors specified in section 401 (b) of the Agriculture Act of 1949. For “additional production” the Secretary would have discretionary authority to set lower support rates, taking into consideration projected crushing and edible export prices and such other guidelines as written. February 15 would be the deadline for announcing low support prices. The Secretary may channel “additional production” into domestic edible channels in short supply situations. Such peanuts shall be placed under loan at the “ad ditional” loan rate or marketed under contracts between handlers and producers for crushing, export or both. TITLE IX: Soybeans The bill mandates the Secretary to establish a soybean loan and purchase program but provides discretion for the Secretary to set the level of support in relation to competing commodities and foreign and domestic supply and demand factors. It does not authorize the Secretary to make producer payments; neither does it authorize a target price nor a set-aside program.
