my disability?
A — Under VA’s regulations, the
effective date that payments may
begin is the date VA received the
claim or the date the disability
arose - - whichever is later. In
your case, the date of VA’s receipt
of the claim would be later.
Q — Premiums on my World War
II GI term insurance policy are
under waiver because I’ve been
totally disabled for more than
six .months. May I convert my
term policy to a permanent plan,
even though I am totally disabl-
ed?
A — You may convert your term
policy to any permanent plan
other than an endowment. Also,
you will not be required to take
a physical examination.
Q — i want to take a course under
the Korean GI Bill that’s com-
monly considered recreational in
nature. In my case, I need it in
connection with the business I plan
to enter. Will I be allowed to take
it?
A — Yes - if you submit justi
fication to VA that the course
will be of bona fide use in your
present or contemplated business
or occupation, and VA approves
the case in advance. The only
courses absolutely prohibited by
law are in bartending, dancing
or personality development.
Q — My son is eligible for school-
ing under the new educationol
program for children of deceased
war veterans. His college begins
early in September. Will he be
able to receive payments from
his first day in school?

thly payments may not begin be-
fore October 1, 1056.

water were staked. A range survey
is now way on the 6666 Ranch.
Several ranchers have asked
questions concerning range sur-
veys. The question is, what is the
purpose of a range survey and
what can be accomplished by one?
A range survey map is an aeri-
al photograph of a ranch which
shows all of the pastures, acre-
ages, trails, roads, windmills,
stock water ponds, and other
features. It shows all of the dif-
ferent range sites and the condi-
tion of each site on the ranch.
There are eight different range
sites found in the Staked Plains
Soil Conservation District. Each
site is determined by the soil type
and the soil type is reflected in
turn by the species or types or
grasses that will grow on that
soil. Different grasses respond to
different methods of management;
therefore, it is important to know
the size and condition of each
site, and the most important
grasses on that site, in order for
the most effective conservation
management plan to be put into
operation.
Four condition classes are set
up for each range site. These are:
1. Excellent condition. 2. Good
condition, 3. Fair condition and

Food Sale Saturday

bake sales at 9:30 Saturday morn-
ing Aug. 18, at both Plains and'
Panhandle Groceries. Prepared
foods of several types will be for
sale.
4. Poor condition.
With all of the above features
of a ranch mapped out, a rancher
can plan his stocking rates and
management practices more easily.
The range survey map is nothing
more than an inventory of the
facilities on the land and will
aid in planning for range con-
servation.
Ranching is an important phase
of agriculture in the Staked Plains
Soil Conservation District. Range
conservation is just as important
on range land as conservation
practices are to cultivated land.
Any of the men in the Soil Con-
servation Service will be glad. to
explain any questions that anyone
has concerning range or soil con-
servation.
Persons interested in commu-
nity planning will attend a Con-
ference on Community Develop-
ment and Urban Renewal Proce-
dures at the University of Texas
Oct. 8 and 9.
