fourth period. After dropping
behind they mounted a touch-
down drive but lacked strength
to get the ball over the goal.
Late in the first qiiarter
Jacksboro stopped a Ranger
drive on the Tiger 38 yard line
and began its first touchdown
drive. A pass from quarterback
Hoytt Franklin to tailback
Mitchell Patrick covered 42
yards to about the Tiger 5 yard
I line. Then fullback Tommy
Mustin plunged over for the
score. Co-capt. and Guard Dan
Davis kicked the extra point.
Nine plays later Ranger punt-
ed to the Tiger 6 yard line only
to get blitzed by the Tiger
ground game. On the first play
Mustin ran for 18 yards; then
Patrick scooted for 41 yatds to
the Ranger 35; and on the third
play Mustin covered the remain-
ing yards for the TD. Davis’
attempt for the extra point was
no good but its importance
wasn’t yet apparent.
A short kickoff gave Ranger
its start for a TD and the Bull-
dogs lost little time in racking
up a marker. After five short
gains, including one by air Bull-
dog fullback David Wharton
circled left end for 28 yards and
six points. Then came Ranger’s
big break as Charles Wolford’s
extra point kick hit the goal
post cross bar, bounced up and
across for the future deciding
one point.
Jacksboro fired up its boilers
immediately to again secure the
13 point halftime lead. On the
cepted Franklin’s pass to give
the Bulldogs first and ten on
their own 46 yard line. By land
and air the Bulldogs started
moving only to see a fumble, re-
covered by Tiger Don Hender-
son, delay their scoring at the
Tiger seven.
After four plays Ranger again
tgok possession of the ball, this
time on the Tiger 37 and the
goalward movement resumed.
Late in the period Wharton
circled right end for 11 yards
and the TD. Wolford’s kick was
good.
Jacksboro appeared master of
the situation however for on the
first play of the ensuing kickoff
the Tigers broke Fullback
Mustin loose for a 62 yard
touchdown scamper. Davis kick-
ed the extra point to again pro-
vide the too comfortable 13
point margain.
Before the third period ended
Ranger was again banging on
the door as result of a 55 yard
run by Wharton and Wolford
scored the six points when he
took Lee King’s pass across the
goalline. Again Wolford kicked
the PAT.
After the kickoff Mustin got
off another long run, this time
for 48 yards but the Tigers
fumbled on Ranger’s 28. Ranger
moved ahead steadily on the
ground to the Tiger 1 and Lee
King scored the final TD on a
keeper. Wolford’s PAT put the
Bulldogs in the lead on the
scoreboard.

cent premium this year above
the 1958 program compensation
rates. The condition attached to
the higher payments is that the
farmer put the identical land in
the 1958 acreage reserve as was
included in the 1957 program.
This is in line with the prom-
ise made to farmers in August
of last year, “that farmers en-
tering land in the 1957 winter
wheat acreage reserve program
will be offered incentives to
designate the same land in fu-
ture programs.”
Farmers are now calling at
County ASC offices throughout
the State, signing agreements to
participate in the 1958 winter
wheat reserve program. All
farmers who have an “old
farm” wheat acreage allotment
for 1958, and who normally
grow wheat, are eligible to sign
an Acreage Reserve Agreement
before the program deadline —
October 4.
Under the 1958 program,
farmers must reduce their acre-
age of winter wheat below the
.farm wheat acreage allotment
and they must limit their har-
vest of all crops to a “permitted
acreage”. This is intended to
prevent shifts from one harvest
crop to another, which results

1958 wheat program. Individual
farm payments will be based on
a county average rate per acre;
adjusted primarily according to
the productivity of the land.
The limit of $3,000 applies to
the total of all acreage reserve
payments made to any one pro-
ducer on any one farm in con-
nection with all 1958 crops eli-
gible under the 1958 program. E
a farmer earns $3,000 on his
farm under the 1958 wheat acre-
age reserve program, he may
not earn any additional pay-
ments on that farm in connec-
tion with 1958 Cotton Acreage
Reserve.
The $3,000 limit does not in-
clude payments under the Con-
servation Reserve — the other
part of the Soil Bank.
