Darr, pastor, cor dially invites the public to at tend the service. County Committee, reminded farmers today. There is a change from mar- keing quota programs for pre vious crops, ( the chairman de clared, “and we want all grow ers—especially those with small wheat acreages”—to understand fully just how the program dif fers this year. Since the quota exemption has been lowered for 1962 crop wheat, the quotas will affect many more growers this Joanna Kindergarten FupHs Being Accepted Registrations are being taken for the Joanna First Baptist Church kindergarten for 1962- 63. Children who are 4 years of age by November 1 and 5-year olds may be enrolled. These must have the usual immuniza tions. Registration fee is $2 00. Interested persons will contact Mrs. Cyril Abrams, 697-6282, or Mrs. James Mitchell, 697-6002 Under previous programs, farms which produced no more than 15 acres of wheat for har vest were not subject to wheat marketing quotas, Mr .Workman explained. Under the 1962 wheat program, farms subject to marketing quota are those on which the acreage of wheat exceeds the smaller of (a) 13.5 acres, or (b) the highest acreage of wheat exceeds the smaller of (a) acres, or (b) the highest acreage the farm had for harvest in the 3-year period 1900, 1960, and 1961. Wheat growers may, therefore, avoid marketing quota penalties on their 1962 crop wheat by com plying with (1) their farm wheat allotment, or (2) their wheat quota exemption (if this is larg er). For 1962, the penalty will be 65 per cent of parity as of May 1, 1962; previously it was 45 per cent. And the amount of wheat subject to penalty will be twice the farm’s normal yield on all of the acres in excess of the wheat allotment (or the wheat quota exemption if the farm has no wheat allotment. This amount may be reduced if the proved 1962 yield is less and a request is filed by a stipulated deadline. Chairman Workman also re minded farmers that price sup port on 1962 crop wheat will be available only to those wheat growers who have filed applica tions to participate in and who then actually comply with pro visions of the wheat stabilization program. Diversion payments are also available to wheat grow ers who participate in the 1962 wheat program.
