Participants in wheat and feed grain programs set aside a portion of their productive crop land to help reduce the excess productive capacity of Ameri can agriculture. Payments are ■made in return for this con tribution to the economic sta bility of agriculture. » Payments are computed by multiplying payment rate times farm yield j>er-acre times a percentage of the planted base or allotment. • About 500 more farmers in Malheur county are expected Jo have received preliminary payments within the next 6 week period according to Blaine Gir vin, Chairman of the Malheur tounty Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation (ASC) Llame o vea a Luis cuando nécessite un nuevo Chevrolet o O.K.’d carro usado.

Producer certification is the key to prompt farm program payments, Girvin said. Pro ducer certification, he said, means a program participant comes in to the County ASCS Office, designates his acreage on an aerial photocopy of his farm and- certifies compliance with farm program provisions. Following certification, the data is computer-processed and the farmer’s payment sent to the County ASCS Office which no tifies him of its arrival. ‘‘It’s been taking about 2 weeks from certification to pay ment, so far,” Girvin said. “This may stretch out a little as farmer certification data from throughout the country pours in to the computer cen ter, but probably not by more than a few added days.” The preliminary set-aside payments, which were required by the Agricultural Act of 1970 to be made as soon as practi cable after July 1, actually began immediately thereafter in Mal heur County and many other Luis Vendrell, representando Hanigan Chevrolet, Payette * Io • * • Pag« S«v«n The ecology of the United States is important. A man would be a fool to deny the fact but we’re getting all emo tional over the subject. We’re permitting our feelings to rule our minds. There are those people who can see bad in every thing that takes place. We have discovered pollution in every thing and I mean EVERYTHING. Everything is being polluted, air, water, laud, sound, mind and many other things but my contention is that we’re not as polluted as some professionals would have us believe. I think that we will ALWAYS have some pollution until mankind is an extinct species. We have some pollutions that are a necessity, I’m thinking of power. As things now stand we can’t place a power plant on a running stream, we can’t use fossilized fuel, ie, coal, gas or oil and we can’t use nuclear power. No I ask you what is left? It has been sug gested that we have fuel cells, solar, and geothermal engery, none of which are practical to date. Our power consumption is in creasing and it’s becoming al most impossible for a power company to increase it’s output. We can meet this power crunch in several ways. Reduce the population? Nobody really sees how we can actually reduce the population, the pill isn’t doing the job. The Chinese used to control the demand for food by killing babies. If population grows the demand will grow, unless. Unless we train our selves to use less power. This may not be too easy. The greatest use of power is the production of heat. I was amused the other day when an ecologist suggested that we stop using the electric tooth brush. There is enough elec tricity used in heating the water for his bath to run his tooth brush for a year. So the big deal would be to disconnect the water heater. Everybodys got a water heater (if they haven’t they're polluting the air with smoke) and this would help a lot. Then we cguld gradually cease using the electric iron, toaster, heater,airconditioner, radio, TV, stereo, and lights. NUTS, you’re not going to <to this and neither am I. Let’s face it, it takes years to build a power plant. Let’s get on with the job because even eco logists get mad at a brownout and furious at a blackout. No body HAS to use electricity but it’s sure inconvient when the power’s off. APPLE VALLEA ITEMS BY AVO MOELLER PHONE 372-2733 '**'*>» .......................»BY FRANC L.'
