WHICH WAY WAS THE
WIND FROM ON MONDAY
As little as you might be-
lieve It, the direction of the
wind jus; at sunup on March
22 was significant to the South
Plains.
There Is an old Indian tra-
dition which declares If the
wind ts from the west, It will
be a dry year; If It Is from the
south maybe a good year, if It
Is from the east, we will have
plenty of mesture, and If from
the north, just a so-so year
As best we could tell, the
wind was varying between south
and southeast, which would
mean a fairly seasonable year-
however, on other parts of the
South Plains the wind was said
to be from the southwest--and
that is not good.
You may call this suparstit
ion, but those who have watch-
ed this sign year In and year
out tell us that it works nine
times out of ten--so, It might
be just a little dry during 1965.

W ACKER'S
March 31 is Maturity Dates
for Some Grain Loans
Farmers were reminded
today of the March 31 maturity
date for price-support loans on
1964 crops of grain sorghum.
Jim H. Steward, County Office
Manager, Hockley County ASCS
Office points out that growers
who have these crops under loan
may redeem their crop at any
time through March 31 by pay-
ing off the loan plus Interest.
Friday, March 26, is the last
day growers may file applica-
tions to take part in the 1965
feed grain program Jim H.
Steward, County Office Man-
ager, Hockley County ASCS Of-
fice, said today.
He reminded farmers that
only those who participate In
the feed grain program will
be eligible for price support on
their 1965 corn, barley, and
grain sorghum crops. As last
year, the support ts made a-
vailable through loans and
price support, the participating
grower also earns a diversion
payment for shifting part of
his feed grain base to a con-
serving use. Minimum diver-
ts 20 percent of the Indivi-
dual farm’s total feed grain
base. Maximum diversion Is
50 percent of the base or 25
acres If this Is more. For
diverting more than the mini-
mum, the diversion payment
will be figured at a higher rate.
If the actual diversion Is 40
percent or more, the higher
rate applies to the whole di-
version.
He reports that farmer In-
terest In Hockley County is
higher than last year. Indica-
tions are that 1965 participants
will run well ahead of that un-
der the 1964 Feed Grain Pro-
gram.
He urges farmers who are
interested in taking part In this
year’s program to call at the
ASCS County Office as soon as
possible, since there are only
9.,working days left before the
March 26 signup deadline, and
signing up is the first step In
program participation.
“We don’t want anybody to
be disappointed because he
waited too long,” Steward said.
“There’s also the advantage
of being able to get half of the
estimated diversion payment in
advance at the time of signup or
as soon afterwards as possi-
ble."
The ASCS County Office Is
open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. from Monday through Frl
day.
Some 26,710 cotton producers
In 19 states have signed up to
take 348,521 acres out of cot
ton production this year under
domestic cotton allotment pro-
gram, USDA reported on basis
of signup through March 4.
Seven-week signup period from
February 8 to March 26.
Farms signed to date have
effective cotton allotments to-
taling 1,054,554 acres on which
cotton could be planted this
year. By signing up under pro-
gram, producers agree to keep
plantings within domestic allot-
ment total of 706,033 acres.
Number of farms signed
increased 7,512 during fourth
week of signup and acreage to
be kept out of production up
about 108,022 acres. Effective
allotments on farms signed dur-
ing fourth week totaled 312,382
acres and their domestic allot-
ments totaled 204,360 acres.
Further reports on the pro-
gress of the cotton signup will
be Issued during the signup
period.
At mld-polnt of signup
for 1965 feed grain program,
there are 766,423 farms listed
whose operators plan to divert
19,128,500 acres from product-
ion feed grain during current
crop year, according to USDA.
Report covers first 18 days of
seven-week signup period which
continues through Friday, Mar-
ch 26.
Heavy snowfall and blizzards
occurred in parts of major feed
grain productlng states during
February 29-March 4 period
covered by current report, so
signup somewhat slowed.
Nevertheless, cumulative totals
of participants and Intended
acreage diversion running well
ahead of last year. Direct com-
parison not possible this week
because 1964 enrollment re-
porting periods spanned two
weeks, and this year there are
weekly reports. As a result,
next week’s and one for 1964,
each covering 23 days, will
be comparable.
Enrollment of 766,423 farms
at mid-point of 1965 signup
Is 59 percent of final enroll-
ment of 1.3 million for 1964
program. Intended acreage di-
version of 19.1 million acres
represents 56 percent of 34.3
million acres indicated at con-
clusion of 1964 signup.
Base acreage of feed grains
on farms thus far signed up
totals 41,633,600 acres. Intend-
ed diversion of 19.1 million
acres represents 46 percent
of that base acreage. For corn,
cropland diversion planned to-
tals 13.8 million acres; for
grain sorghum, 3.7 million
acres, and for barley (exclud-
ing malting barley farms), f.6
million acres.
Under 1965 program’s malt-
ing barley exemption, 1,190
farms signed up as of March
4 and exemption requested on
127,100 base acres.
