The Commissioner of Agricul-
ture approved an $18 per acre
assessment rate in the South
Texas/Winter Garden (ST/WG)
zone after recommendation by
the Texas Boll Weevil Eradication
Foundation board of directors,
originating from the ST/WG
steering committee.
In a recent meeting of the
Foundation’s board, the ST/WG
steering committee had recom-
mended reducing the original
$23.14 per acre assessment to $18
per acre for the 1997 crop due to
the decision to proceed with a fall
diapause program rather than a
season-long program as origi-
nally planned.
According to the original ref-
erendum held in February 1995
and ratified by the current law,
growers set the assessment for
year one at $11.50, and $23.14
each year thereafter with the bal-
ance of program costs to be paid
by means of a lending institution
in order to defer initial program
costs. Each cotton producer will
be notified as to the amount due
by the Foundation according to
the percent of the crop share.
The commissioner further or-
dered that assessments will be
due on or before August 15,1997.
The Foundation is offering a one
percent discount for early assess-
ment payments received 15 days
prior to the August 15 due date.
‘The Farm Service Agency
(FSA) is providing the necessary
acreage information to prepare
account statements,” said Osama
El-Ussy, Foundation active ex-
ecutive director “Due to the com-
plexity of the information trans-
fer as well as the July IS certifi-
cation deadline, statements may
not reach some growers 15 days
prior to the Foundation’s August
15 assessment due date.”
However, according to El-
Lissy, growers wanting to take
advantage of the early payment
discount who have not received
a statement can do so by estimat-
ing their assessment based on die
$18 per acre assessment and their

Maryann Pringle of Hondo, re-
cently enrolled in the American
Quarter Horse Association
Horseback Riding Program. The
program provides AQHA mem-
bers recognition for time spent
riding or driving American Quar-
ter Horses.
A unique aspect of the program
is its simplicity. Current AQHA
members complete a program
application and pay a onetime
$25 enrollment fee. Each enrollee
receives an official AQHA log
sheet to record their hours driv-
ing or riding their American
Quarter Horse. Participants need
not own their own horse, but all
official hours must be accrued
with a registered American Quar-
ter Horse.
The first award, a program rec-
ognition patch, is given after only
50 hours have been logged and
verified. Patches and nine subse-
quent awards are presented at 100
to 5,000 hours levels and range
from merchandise gift certificates
from Drysdales Western Store to
a Montana Silversmith trophy
belt buckle at the highest level.
Carolyn Hudnell, AQHA Di-
rector of the Horseback Riding
Program, said “The Horseback
Riding Program is a unique op-
portunity to earn rewards outside
of traditional competition. In
some cases the program rewards
people who already spend many
hours riding American Quarter
Horses. For others, the Horseback
Riding Program is an incentive to
get out and ride."
Horseback riding provides
good exercise. According to the
U.S. Department of the Interior,
more than 27 million people par-
ticipate in horseback riding na-
tionally.
AQHA actively encourages
horseback riding as a relaxing
recreational activity that can be
enjoyed alone or shared with fam-
ily and friends.
