During the past year 1945, Edwards
Count}! ranchmen earned $143,586.12,
in the form of AAA paymenttts for
eradicating cedar, pricklypear, under-
brush, mesquite, lechuguilla; drilling
wells; seeding pasture grasses; install-
ing pipelines; constructing header
tanks; and deferred grazing.
Although the 1946 allocation for
this county is somewhat less than
the 1945, it is the aim of the County
Committee to make it possible for
everyone to participate who so wishes.
However, ranchmen are urged to com-
plete their practices as soon as possible
for this reason. If, after August 1,
there are additional funds available,
the counties that will get the increas-
es will be the counties ’that have al-
ready earned all or most of their orig-
inal allotment.
Quite a few ranchmen are finding
it helpful to use the Purchase Order
Plan for carrying out their 1946 prac-
tices, whereby the AAA makes pay-
ment directly to the contractor when
the job is completed—(usually within
15 to 30 days). Under this plan, mea-
surements, as well as inspections, are
made by a range inspector.
Services which may, be furnished
under the Purchase Order Plan in-
clude eradication of cedar, lechuguilla,
mesquite, and pricklypear; construction
of header tanks; and drilling of wells
for stock water. Full details of this
plant may be obtained at the AAA
office.
The sheep and lamb production pay-
ment rose to its highest going of 'the
year on February 1. During February,
March, and April, the rate will be
$2.50 per hundredweight on lambs
weighing 65 to 90 pounds, and $3.15
on lambs over 90 pounds. Payment
on all other classes of lambs and all
sheep sold for slaughter continues at
$1.00 per hundred pounds. For May
and June, the rate will drop to $2.00
for the first class and $2.65 for the
second. The (third rate will remain the
same.

food subsidies will be retained until
at least June 30, Stabilization Admin-
istrator John C. Collet has announced.
Subsidies after that time will depend
upon action by Congress, which is
being asked to authorize their payment
for the 1947 fiscal year.
This change in plans for terminat-
ing subsidies was made necessary be-
cause expected price declines in non-
subsidized elements of the cost of
living are not materializing. Those
declines had been counted on to off-
set price rises resulting from sub-
sidy removal.
While the government wants to re-
duce the subsidy program as rapidly
as possible, the program is still gov-
erned by the policy of making termina-
tion of subsidies subject to general
stabilization of the cost of living.
The United' States and Canada are
the principal supplying countries, but
New Zealand, Australia, South Africa,
Turkey, Holland, and France are also
furnishing some items.
Ranchmen intending ito participate
in the 1946 conservation program
were reminded today that grazing
management plans must be filled out
before May 31.
This new provision in the Agricultu-
ral Conservation Program applies to
all ranches with 1,920 acres or more
of pasture or rangeland.

In case you don’t know, that’s
the GI’s expression for some-
thing which has gone com-
pletely wrong—Situation Nor-
mal, All Fouled Up.
Unfortunately, Reddy is in
just that kind of a situation.
He’s booby-trapped by an octo-
pus outlet. With an old wiring
system like this one, Reddy
can’t work efficiently but a lot
of folks ask him to.
When circuits and outlets are
overloaded, then your electrical
lights dim and flicker and you’re not
of your electric service.
An adequate wiring system is but a small part of the cost of your home, yet
it’s one of the best investments you can make. You only need a three-wire serv-
ice entrance—a sufficient number of circuits to prevent overloading—plenty of
conveniently located outlets and large enough wires to take care of present and
future electrical needs.
You’ll be wanting the new types of lighting, television, home freezers, auto-
matic washers, electric ranges and lots of other electric conveniences and to
operate them you’ll need adequate, up-to-date wiring.
If you’re planning to build a new home or remodel your old one, see your
electrical contractor or CPL for helpful suggestions.
