New Farm Wheat
MAY
Be Requested

Operators of farms without
wheat allotments but on which
wheat will be planted this spring
may now apply for Q 1861 farm
allotment, Chairman Arthur An
derson of the County Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
committee has announced.
Applications must be filed at
the County ASC office not later
than February % ON a form which
is available there upon request.
A new wheat farm is one on
which there was a Zero" or no
allotment established in each OF
the three years 1858, 1859 and
1860. Growing of wheat on such
a farm in one or more of the
three years does not make it in
eligible to be considered for q
new wheat farm allotment.
The chairman explained that
the fundamental purpose of new
farm allotments is to provide al
lotments for wheat farmers who
have regular rotations calling fol
wheat, for operators who have
produced wheat but have lost pos
session of a farm, and operators
who are just starting as indie
! pendent producers.

Substitute Senate Bill "a - our
ambulance bill = has just cleared
third reading by an overwhelming
vote. Although this isn't exactly
what we wanted, it will undoubt-

wish to again express apprecia-

This has really been a week OF
public hearings, four in the House
Chamber and several others in
the Governors reception room,
and other places. The several
trading stamp bills in the House
were thoroughly debated to a ca
pacity audience, while House Bill
279 = to abolish the Milk Board;
House Bill 131 - to tax Coop
Patronage Refunds before distri-
button; and Senate Bill 112 = to
acquire property by eminent do
main for purposes of mining or
extracting ore from property =
received adequate attention. The
latter one deals with the future
of extracting our minerals by
means of pit or strip mining, and
especially pertinent in Silver
Bow County.
