AG CHECK-OFF
SYSTEM
The recent amend-
ment to the Texas Consti-
tution that passed in the
general election has legal-
ized the Texas agricultural
check-off system. Although
the Texas Agricultural
Check-off Act was passed
in 1967 and revised in 1969,
it was declared unconstitu-
tional by the Supreme
Court in 1975, notes an
economist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension
Service, Texas A&M Uni-
versity System. Now that
the act has been legalized
through the election pro-
cess, agricultural commo
dity groups will be able to
proceed in setting up
check-off or “self-help" pro-
grams. In these programs
growers pay a certain fee
when they sell their pro-
duct so as to finance educa
tional, research and mar-
ket development projects
for the benefit of their
particular product.

Q: My husband and I
want to adopt a child.
What are the procedures
for adoption in Texas?
A: The yellow pages of
most big city telephone
books list adoption agen-
cies. Also, children can be
adopted through the State
Department of Human Re-
sources, which has a unit in
almost every county seat.
Call Human Resources and
ask for a child welfare or
adoption worker.
Once you begin with any

toward adoption. A family
lawyer in your county will
be able to write the
documents.

A: Effective September

need to prove is that you’re
of legal age to marry, so
you may show your driver’s

tificate. There is no waiting
period and there is no resi-
dency requirement.

Yesterday afternoon the fa-

child and said, “I'm the

release the child to me.”
What should be the center’s
policy in this case?

orders have been entered,
