are as follows:
1 bale, 25 cents;

Sign-Up Completed
During the five day period—
Sept. 3rd-6th and Sept. 9—560
Hopkins County farmers filed
requests for ACP cost-sharing
for assisting them in establish-
ing a winter legume cover crop
this fall. *
Approximately 50 per cent
of the requests filed were by
farmers filing for the first
time during the 1963 ACU pro-
gram year.
The County ASC Committee
will give their immediate at-
tention considering and approv-
ing the requests that were filed
and approvals will be mailed
to all persons who filed a re-
quest during the sign-up period.
A great deal of time is re-
quired for preparation of the
approval form and purchase
orders required under each
practice of the winter legume
cover crop program.

Peanut Farming
Mechanized
College Station — Peanut
harvesting is becoming m o r“e
mechanized each year and a
lack of care in this operation
can cause the loss of crop yield
and quality, says W. S. Allen,
agricultural engineer with the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
Harvesting represents a very
sensitive phase in mechanized
peanut production, he says.
Whether the peanuts are dug
and windrowed simultaneously
or in separate operations, all
equipment must perform effec-
iently.
The digging equipment should
cleanly cut the taproot of the
plant just below the area of
the peanut pods but should not
drag them as this will separate
nuts from the plant, explains
Allen. The digger should loosen
the soil layer above the nut
pods so that they will remain
attached to the vines while be-
ing removed from the soil and
should lift the peanut plants
and vibrate them enough to re-
move soil, pebbles, and sand
without losing the nuts.
The equipment used for wind-
rowing should place a complete
vine swath in a uniform wind-
row on a smooth soil surface,
says the engineer. Several de-
vices are available to accomp-
lish this job, he says.
In some areas, reshaking of
the windrows within two days
after digging will be advantage-
ous, says Allen. This is true
when digging is done under
very d a m p soil conditions,
Where heavy vines are left on
tftle peanuts, w here initially
good cleaning action has not
occurred, or where the pres-
ence of grass prevents a good
first shaking operation.
Allen suggests that the crop
be harvested as soon after dig-
ging as the conditions of the
crop will allow efficient func-
tioning of the harvester, and as
soon as available curing prac-
tices will permit.

Hunters Need to Ask
Permission to Hunt
By Paul Herschler
Hopkint County Agent
I had the opportunity to talk
with John Jackson, our game
warden, the other day. Natur-
alyly we got around to talk-
ing about bird and game hunt-
ing and fishing. He said it ap-
peared we would have a good
season this year of both game
and birds. We will have the age
old problems however, he said,
that is the sportsman and land-
owner relationship.
It seems that all some sports-
men can remember about game
laws is that all wild game be-
longs to the state. They seem | possible,

privilege for all sportsmen by
not show ing the landowner
some courtesies.
John pointed out a few
courtesies that the sportsman
might practice while hunting
game. First of all get the
person’s permission to hunt on
his land. Even if the game
does belong to everyone the
land does not. Some other
courtesies would be s u r e to

COOKWARE
College Station — Self-em-
ployed farmers and ranchmen
pay social security tax if their
operations return a net profit
of $400 or more annually, says
C. H. Bates, farm management
specialist, Texas Agricultural
Extension Service.
The tax is 5.4 per cent of
the actual net profit up to a
maximm of $259 for a net farm
profit of $4,800, says Bates.
When farmers were first made
subject to this program in
1955, a maximum of $4,200 was
the annual basis liimt for tax
payment, he adds.
There are three types of ben-
efits that the self-employed op-
erator derives for himself and
his family from this annual tax
payment. First, he is entitled
to retirement benefits when he
reaches age 62 and will receive
monthly payments, subject to
his level of current earnings,
says Bates. He is then entitled
to disability benefits when he
has paid for the required pe-
riod of coverage, but only if
he is unable to continue work.
The third phase of the pro-
gram is similar to life insurance
in that his survivors are en-
titled to limited lump-sum pay-
ment plus monthly benefit pay-
ments. These payments are
based on the amount of credit
accumulated by him before his
death, and further, upon the
number of dependents who are stjj| have mjne,
deprived of normal support, ac- j
cording to Bates.
Bates reminds that those not
certain about the conditions by
which he must report and pay
the social security tax should
see representatives of the So-
cial Security Adminstration.
Generally, these staff members
make periodic visits to each
county and your local county
agricultural agent can tell you
when they will be in your coun-
ty, advises Bates.
thank the landowner for let-
ting you hunt. Following these
practices along with other
courtesies you can think” of
might give you a chance to hunt
again some day. Usually the
reason a land owner doesn’t
allow hunting is because of the
bad taste someone has left
with him when they forgot to
realize he had extended them
the privilege of hunting on his
property.
We have received many calls
the past year Asking how to get
rid of armadillos. We wish we
had a good solutioti. To da
w# haven’t the answer. Poison-
ed baits are quite effective, the
the trouble is they are also af-
fective on dog and eats. Box
traps are also good if you have
time to build one and are crafty
enough to know how and where
to set it. Shooting the pest is
rather permanent if you ever
get a chance to see him. It
seems the armadillo knows
when you are sitting on the
porch with your gun loaded
for him. Bill Bass with the
wildlife service was by the
office the other day and he
said they had an effective gas
shell.If you can find the arma-
dillos den and the den isn’t
under the house or under build-
ings where animals are housed,
this gas shell can be exploded
in the den. We have ordered
some of these shells and will be
glad to have you try them if
you care to.

i College Station—Planning
dairy production is like plan-
ning a trip, says Shannon E.
Carpenter, area dairy specialist
with the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service.
He says that few plans are
needed for a short trip in fa-
miliar territory, but that care-
ful plans and accurate maps
are very important on a long
journey.
This situation compares to
the dairy farmer who does not
use production records, an ac-
curate map of his herd, in pre-
paring for his future operation
and who must be satisfied with
low production, says the spe-
cialist. Not only will he make
less profit from his operation
but his lack of planning may
ultimately lead him out of the
dairy business.
In the present price-cost
squeeze, the successful dairy-
man must have high yielding
cows, land and men, says Car-
penter. To reach this destina-
tion, a good map in the form
of production records, is re-
quired. These records enable
the dairy farmer to feed each
cow correctly for high produc-
tion, locate any cows that are
not making a profit, and find
the top cows from which to
develop the herd replacements.
Thus the road map to success
for the dairy farmers is the
use of production records, says
Carpenter.

Prophesied Perilous Times
Are Here
Like Noah’s age, violence
fills the land. (Gen. 6:11-13).
Like Ephraim, we are becom-
ing a nation of drunkards.
(Isa. 28:1-4). Of gravest im-
portance we are losing the
sense of the sinfulness of sin,
our own beloved land is the
neediest and greatest mission-
ary field in the world today.
We have used wrong methods
and have sought wrong goals.
We have been building great
ecclesiastical empires. We have
spent millions on costly cathe-
drals. We have majored on
huge membership. We have be-
come worldly, and formal, have
depended on man’s plans and
our buildings for the power of
God and banked revival fires
and soft-pedaled evangelistic
fervor!
We Race Against
Catastrophe!
What we do, we must do be-
fore the zero hour strikes
doom! All our cherished free-
doms are at stake. If we lose,
we lose for keeps. We modilize
our military potential. What
folly to fail to modilize our
spiritual resources. Fast filling
the cup of iniquity, how much
further can we go down this
dangerous road, before the
scales of God’s justice tip to
Judgment?
Though His Word, God chal-
lenges us. “Call upon Me in the
day of trouble: I will deliver
thee.” (Psa. 50:15). Is not this
a day of trouble and an hour
of trembling? Will we like
Jonah, be fast asleep in the
hold, or will we arise and call
on oura God? (Jonah 1:5).
God does not send revival
haphazardly. In 2 Chron. 7:14
we find God’s blueprint for a
spiritual awakening. He who
cannot lie promises a spiritual
awakening to those who meets
His demands. Otherwise the
heavens remain brass—and we
perish. We face moral debacle
—because a God-sent, sweep-
ing revival is long overdue. We
contend for real revival, not a
rosewater, superficial, human-
programed revival—but a su-
pernatural, God-sent revival—
convicting men of sin, and in
godly respentance, turning
them into new creatures in
Christ.
Imperatively—We Need A
New Pentecost
The Spirit outpoured on the
Day of Pentecost, is Christ’s in-
fjllible blueprint for victory!
Diety revealing to us the things
of God, filling us with His
Spirit and giving us power to
be what we ought to be.
God’* Plan I* To Use Men
But He uses only clean men.
He cannot fellowship darkness.
For every crisis God has had a
chosen vessel. In the days of
the Judges, God raised up
Gideon. When Israel was in
bondage, God prepared Moses.

Israel, Elijah was God’s man
and his mantle fell on Elisha.
