that according to the amend-
ment, farm vehicle drivers
must be 18 years old, rather
than 21 as required in the
general safety standards, and
that other provisions of the
regulations--including writ ten
examinations, road tests and
physical examinations-- will
not apply. White pointed
out, however, that farm ve-
hicle drivers are defined as
persons who are at least 18
years old, are driving a vehi-
cle controlled and operated by
a farmer and are being used
to transport produce from the
farm or supplies to the farm.
In addition, the vehicle being
driven must have a gross weight,
including load, of 10, 000
pounds of less and is not used
in the operations of a for-hire
carrier.

"AUSTIN-Drivers of farm
vehicles are temporarily ex-
empt from compliance with
new safety regulations estab-
lished by the U. S. Department
of Transportation’s Bureau of
Motor Carrier Safety for dri-
vers involved in interstate
commerce. Texas Commis-
sioner of Agriculture John C.
White says that considerable
confusion had developed
among farm vehicle drivers
following adoption of the new
safety standards, but that an
amendment to the regulations
adopted January 1st, 1971,
exempts drivers of farm vehi-
cles for a six-month period
until July 1, 1971.
it is a word that keeps
popping up in every mess that
takes place.
The word is 'interpretation"
It has happened again. An-
other interpretation that went
off course - sounds like a
familiar story.
Here is the "self-explain-
ing" letter.
April 30
AU tax assessments must
be made before April 30,1971,
on real and personal property
reports Austin County Tax
Assessor-Collector Eddie Rich-
ter.
’’All home owners, if you
are claiming homestead exem-
ption, this must be signed for
each year before April 30,”
explained Richter earUer this
week.
" If you are a Mobile Home
owner you can claim this as a
homestead, if you have no
other home any where else
that you areclaiming home-
stead on. But they must be
rendered for taxes like any
other property."
farm vehicle drivers must be
21 years of age, pass a writ-
ten examination, a road test
and have a physical exan.ina-
tion.
After an amount of pro-
test, an amendment to the
regulation exempts this until
July 1 of tills year.
Confusion reigns again.
It apparently will never
end.
Anyway, we received a
letter this week from Texas
Department of Agriculture
Commissioner JohnC. White.
I’D quote it completely fol-
lowing this. But I would like
you to notice the use of a
word toward the end of the
letter.
In another portion of this
issue of The New Ulm Enter-
prise, the beauty of the area
is pointed out for its value in
scenic painting.
Harry Worthmann brought
his art class out to the indus-
try area for a session of paint-
ing the Bluebonnet scene.
He mentioned to me the
fact that each year he uses
the scenery in this general
area for the outdoor painting
class.
A scenic area of unique
quality.
Or one might call it an
environment.
In any rate, the fact re-
mains that this area is uni-
que in that it is fairly well
unspoiled, green and flowery
things will grow if it rains,
and the air is still on the fresh
side.
Could be a lot worse.
With the problems other
folks seem to have, 1 suppose
ours seem small.
But there is a big problem
facing this area and that is
the problem of the sly down-
grading of rural and commu-
nity life.
The root of the problem is
lessening of the rural and
community population or the
brend to that effect.
Although there is some
indication that the decline of
the community-type popula-
tion is slowing and in some
cases stopping, the problem is
still there.
The masses of people are
stuck in the same cities that
they rushed to years ago. The
conditions seem to be unsafe
where this concentration takes
place.
And the location of the
masses is where the interests
of politiciansandgovernment
lies.
Strictly where there are
more votes.
As a result, everything
rural or comm unity-oriented
has been downgraded.
Small businessmen come
face to face with all thisdown-
grading. And rural and small
businessmen are stiU the back-
bone of community life.
Yet itscemsthat the small
businessman bears the brunt of
the mass-inspired silliness.
A good example has been
the outrageous situation facing
thesmallmeat plantsand pro-
cessors.
The jab always comes at
the lower levels.
Another cunent batch of
silliness has been the ruling
of the Federal Department of
Transportation on safety stan-
dards by the Bureau of Motor
Carrier Safety.
Common sense would say
that the Department of Trans-
portation would be the last to
Interfere with a farmer driv-
ing his tractor down the road.
But - here we go again
with the same old story - some
bureau in Washington gets a
general mission of motor car-
rier safety, which is not a bad
idea when you think of the
number of traffic mishaps.
All of a sudden, there
comes a regulation dreamed
up somewhere saying that
from
Local
Veterinariansand other persons marked
designated by the Texas Ani-
mal Health Commission are
to issue permits.
Hogs for slaughter can
move to a packing house or
to a public market without
inspection and without written
permits, according to Charles
E. Murphey, County Agricul-
tural Agent.
He cautioned producers
that hogs leaving the farm
without a permit must be
headed for slaughter.
Once at the market they
can't be legally taken home
or sold as feeders. Offenders
