Option Offered To Feed Grain Producers A higher, set-aside payment rate can be earned by producers in Indiana who agree to reduce their farm's com acreage below that planted last year on the farm, according to Scott Hom. Chairman of the Kosciusko County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee (ASC). Mr. Hom explained that all of the previously announced options remain open to feed grain producers Sign-up for the 1972 program opened February 3 and will continue through March 10 at the County ASC office. Under the new option, feed grain producers with com or grain sorghum bases may earn 80 cents a bushel by voluntarily agreeing to set-aside up to at least 10 per cent of additional acreage. Before the announcement, the additional setaside acreage had been set at 52 cents. USDA will accept the additional 10 per cent when offered by the producer at sign-up. An additional 5 per cent may be accepted at the 80 cent rate at the option of the Secretary by a later announcement. If he chooses the new option, the producer will agree to hold his 1972 com-sorghum acreage at not more than last year's acreage minus twice the additional setaside acreage offered. Mr. Hom commented that the additional option will fit in well with some operations and the previously announced program will serve other farmers better Contact the office soon, for the explanation The sign-up time is well under way and the March 10 deadline will come pretty fast. Please do not wait until the final week. Parked Car Is Damaged A parked 1968 Plymouth on West Road south erf Syracuse near the plumbing shop in the village and belonging to Doris A.

Here they can absorb the sun — breathe deep the tonic of untainted air — satisfy keen appetites with wholesome, tempting food at modest prices. There’s golf, boating, swimming, any number of sports. In the background is always the comfort and informal hospitality of its resort hotels, its wonderful golf club and its many facilities for relaxation and recreation, for a short vacation or a long one.
