All participants will set aside
an acreage equal to 86 percent
of their farm, domestic allot-
meft). will earn wheat certifi-
cate payments based on tneir
domestic allotment, and will be
eligible for Commodity Credit
Corporation loans on wheat _
grown on participating farms
An additional set-aside option
also is offered. Weaver said
Contingent upon their 1972
wheat acreage, producers may
. set aside an additional acreage
up to 150 percent of their
domestic wheat allotment in
return for a payment of 88 cents
a bushel times established yield
tunes acres of additional set-
aside
A producer who accepts the
additional set-aside option also
agrees to limit his production of
1973 wheat The limitation is
determined by the formula:
1972 spring and winter wheat
planted acreage on the farm
plus any additional 1972 set
aside, minus the 1973 additional
set-aside
The big point to make at this
time is Riat a wheat grower in’ “
the 1973 wheat program can go
one of two ways: One main
tain required set-aside and
conserving base acreages with
no limit on his wheat acreage
Two — maintain required set
aside, additional set-aside, and
conserving base acreages and
vTlThit his wheat acreage," the
ASC committee chairman said
"He should check with the

which changed from the tradi-
tional letterpress to the offset
lithography method of printing
the newspaper two years ago,
has added another piece of
equipment to make the transi-
tion complete
Installed this week was a
Compugrahpic 7200, an elec-
tronic typesetting machine
which ma’de 32 sizes of type
available to the operator sitting
at the keyboard The machine is
equipped with eight lenses and
operates with film strips with a
light flashing through the film
strips onto photographic paper
Type from a quarter inch to
one inch tall can be produced on
the machine. It will be used for
setting type for large headlines
and for ads
The first of May. a Compu-
writer was installed to handle
all the reading matter, cutlines,
smaller headlines and editorial
copy was purchased This ma
chine is fast and can produce as
much as four columns of read
ing matter in an hour Unlike
similar machines which are
operated by punched tape, the
Compuwriter has a direct key-
board input

City to seek
federal grant
for parks
Possibility of Stamford ob-
1 taining some federal money is
matching funds for parks and
recreation was brought to the
attention of the city council
•Friday by Charles Stenholm
who cited similar grants ob-
tained recently by the City of
Abilene.
City Manager H R. Macomb-
er reported that he has an
appointment with Council of
Government officials in Abilene
on Aug 23 to discuss such
grants.
Stenholm recalled that the
city master plan as prepared by
Hunter and Associates sets out
that federal money is availabe
on a matching basis for such
items as the baseball park
which was built this summer at
College Lake. He recalled that
labor can be figured as part of
the city’s contribution.
Stenholm also pointy out the
need for better coordination of
the city recreation program,
saying that although there is a
Little League baseball pro-
gram, there also are other
baseball teams,.there is some
financing on the part of the city
and there is participation by
individuals
"Sometime between now and
next season, there needs to tie a
sitting down of all interested
persons so that the program can
be coordinated and duplications
eliminated," he said.
The Stamford Chamber of
Commerce and Board of City
Development asked the city
council Friday to approve a
■budget for the coming year
which is some $1000 greater
than that for the present year
The new budget would call for
the city supplying an additional
$3,000 I^ast year the city
furnished $14,000 of the 21,903 96
budget and $17,000 of a proposed
$23,000 budget is being asked.
