be it a dub or a church, may distrib-
ute flyers or information on upcom-
ing events such as rummage sales,
dinners, or fund-raisers.”
“We are constantly working on
new ideas for the betterment of
Bosque County,” Martin said, “But,
if there are other ways in which we
can help, suggestions are always
welcome.”

Eligible For
Assistance
MERIDIAN — Bosque County has
been declared eligible for the Non-in-
sured Disaster Assistance Program for
losses of 1996 small grain forage. NAP
will provide assistance to producers
who suffered at least a 50 percent pro-
duction loss for small grain intei “d
for grazing, hay, or silage.
Producers must comply with Highly
Erodible Land provisions and must cer-
tify their gross annual revenues in cal-
endar 1995 did not exceed $2 million.
Aug. 30, 1996, is the final date to
apply for the program for 1996 small
grain forage losses. The following re-
quirements apply.
Acreage Certification
Producers must have timely filed an
acreage report showing the acreage of
small grain grazing. Late filed acreage
reports may be accepted provided the
County Committee can determine the
claim losses are legitimate. Producers
who originally reported small grain for
harvest as grain only, may revise their
acreage reports to show the crop was
also intended for grazing in the fall/
winter. ,
Notice of Loss
Producers must file a notice of loss
for each farm on which they have an
interest in the small grain grazing. Pro-
ducers will need to know the planting
date, type and amount of seed planted,
amount of fertilizer applied, any herbi-
cides applied, how seed bed was pre-
pared, number of head grazed, length
of time grazed, and any supplemental
feed provided the livestock while graz-
ing the small grain. Receipts for fertil-
izer, herbicides, and seed will be
needed at time of sign-up.
Duplication of Benefits
Producers who are eligible for NAP
benefits and for Disaster Reserve Assis-
tance Program, Livestock Feed pro-
gram, or for FSA Emergency Loans
must choose which program benefits
will be earned. There will be no dupli-
cate benefits.
Acreage Eligibility
Producers must provide evidence
showihg the amount of small grain that
has been grazed or baled in one of the
last three years. Documents such as
grazing leases, purchase agreements,
receipts of livestock sales, or tax records
may be submitted to show the amount
of small grains normally harvested as
forage. New producers must provide
evidence of ownership of livestock or a
grazing lease with another producer.
Acreage intended for grazing must have
an available water source and be
fenced. The producer must show suffi-
cient livestock was available to graze
the acreage.
Normal Yield
Each producer must establish a nor-
mal yield for each unit (units used for
insurance) by providing historical
records of forage production. Records
could include number of acres grazed,
supplemental feed fed, type and num
ber of livestock grazed, days grazed
weight gained by livestock. The infor
mation requested shall be kept on cur
rent year production and subsequent
years production. If small grains were
harvested as hay, records showing
small grain hay sold or harvested could
be submitted. These records should be
provided for at least the prior four years
if available. If these records are not
available, producers may provide his-
tory of grain production. If no records
are available, a forage yield will be as-
signed.
Current Year Production
Production records of acreage
grazed, supplemental feed fed, number
and type of livestock grazed, weight
gained by livestock, amount of hay pro-
duced in the current year must be pro-
vided.
Aug. 30, is the final date to apply for
NAP payments for 1996 small grain for-
age los$$s. All of the above documen-
tation must be brought to the county
office when filing a request.

Business Update
Incentive Grants Available
Through Main Street For
Business Improvements
By David Anderson
CLIFTON RECORD CITY EDITOR
CLIFTON — Incentive grants for
business improvements are currently
available through the Clifton Main
Street program. Grant monies can be
used by local businesses for a variety
of improvements, including new sig-
nage, painting, and other such up
grades. Two Clifton businesses —
Clifton Floral and Joann’s Courtney
House, both on West 5th Street —
have taken advantage of the grants
and erected new signs at those loca-
tions.
The Texas Historical Commission
have the Clifton Main Street Program
$1,000 during the program’s first
year, earmarked for such improve-
ments. This year, the THC added an-
other $500, coupled with a $500
math from Main Street.
“Business owners interested in the
grants can place an application with
the Main Street Committee for re-
view. We obviously cannot fund en-
tire projects, but grants will be
awarded on a percentage basis,” said
Main Street Board Member Julie Con-
ley, owner of B.J.’s Western Wear.
Conley said all improvements must
be approved by Main Street’s design
review committee before grants will
be awarded.
For more information, contact the
Main Street office, in the Clifitm
Chamber of Commerce building, at
115 North Avenue D, or call (817)
675-2732.

New TNP Control Area
Provides For Technical,
Operational Efficiency
FORT WORTH—The state of Texas’
10th electrical control area became op-
erational recently as Texas-New Mexico
Power Company powered up its con-
trol center in League City. The new fa-
cility gives TNP the ability to manage
its resources in Southeast Texas rather
than contracting with another utility for
these services.
“This electronic system will enable
TNP to function with much greater flex-
ibility,” said Randy Ownby, assistant
vice president, Power Resources. “We
now have the ability to instantaneously
balance our generation from TNP One
and other purchased power resources
with our customer loads, providing for
more efficient operations."
TNP formerly had a contractual ar-
rangement with Houston Lighting and
Power for control area services for the
majority of its loads in Southeast Texas.
The implementation of the control area
allows TNP to purchase planning re-
serves for its own resources at a lower
cost than standby power, which should
result in annual savings.
In addition to the efficiency and flex-
ibility of operating independently from
other control areas, TNP will be able to
market its control area services to other
transmission-dependent entities,
matching their loads and resources.
The state’s 10 control areas fall un-
der the authority of the Electric Reli-
ability Council of Texas, an
organization comprising members en-
gaged in generation, transmission, or
electricity distribution within the state
of Texas. The 10 control areas under
ERCOT jurisdiction are interconnected
and synchronized. There previously
had been seven control areas in South
Texas group and two in the North Texas
group.
Texas-New Mexico Power Company
provides community-based electric ser-
vice to 85 cities and more than 216,000
customers in Texas and New Mexico.
It is the principal wholly owned sub-
sidiary of TNP Enterprises, Inc.

MERIDIAN — The Farm Service

sis applications for cost-sharing conser-
vation practices. Funds are currently

months is required at the time of sign
up. Any practice approved and com-
pleted prior to Sept. 30 will not be paid
for until Oct. 1, under the new Farm
Bill.
Practices eligible for cost share assis-
tance are grass establishment, pasture
planting, cedar control by axing, spray-
ing or grubbing prickly pear, ponds, ter-
races, critical area shaping, livestock
