In order to assure adequate supplies for domestic and ex-
port markets Secretary of Agriculture Ed Butz has announc-
ed that there will be no government set-aside of land during
1974, according to the Donley County ASCS offices
The effect of this announcement will be to free farmers in
Donley County and across the nation to go all out to produce
wheat, cotton, feed grains and soy beans. The maintenance
of an established conserving base will not be required as a
condition of eligibility to receive price support or program
payments.
Conserving base requirements will remain in effect for
those producers having land retired under the Cropland Ad-
justment Program. However, producers with existing CAP
agreements which continue through 1974 and subsequent years
are being given the opportunity to terminate their agreements
if they so desire. It will be necessary for a farmer to file a
written request with the ASCS office prior to destruction of
cover crop in preparation for a 1974 crop if he were to end
his agreement.
This announcement does not necessarily mean there will
be no price support or program payments for 1974. It
means farmers will not have to set aside land or maintain
conserving base land as a condition of eligibility to re-
ceive price support or program payments for 1974.
It was reported that Butz took this action after looking
over the two farm bills passed by the Senate and House and
found both in agreement over the ending of set- aside.
The Senate and House are presently ironing out differences
in their two farm bills.
The conferees have accepted the House passed figures for
a new target price concept, well below those approved by
The U. S. Atomic Energy Commission Area Manager, Tom
C. Jones, has announced Joint efforts with Mason & Hanger-
Silas Mason Co., Inc. the prime operating contractor for the
Pantex Plant in Amarillo, and Sandia Laboratories, Kirt-
land Air Force Base, Albuquerque, N. M., to conduct a four-
session seminar allowing scouts to earn the highly coveted
Atomic F'nergy Merit Badge. This year's seminar is open
to Boy Scouts from the Llano Estacado and Adobe Walls Co-
uncils and Girl Scouts from the Quivira and Amarillo Girl
Scout Councils.
In earning the Atomic Energy Merit Badge the scouts will
participate in lectures, demonstrations, and lab work, all
designed to introduce the historical background of atomic
energy; the mysteries of radiation, isotopes, and reactors;
peaceful uses of atomic power; and careers in nuclear en-
ergy.
This year's seminar will be conducted on four Saturday
mornings starting at 8:30 a.m., October 13, 30, 27, and Nov-
ember 3, at Tascosa High School in Amarillo. Scouts de-
siring to attend may register through their individual units
on an advance basis.
After successfully completing the merit badge require-
ments, November 9 and 10, 1973, the scouts will have the
opportunity to take a field trip to Klrtland Air Force Base
Sandia Laboratories, Albuquerque, N M., and Los Alamos
Scientific Laboratory, Los Alamos, N. M., the historical
birthplace of Nuclear Power.

the Senate, and also took the House's version of a controver-
sial cost of production escalator.
The target price guarantees the farmer a set price for his
product. The cost of production escalator would raise the
target price as production costs increase through the four
year life of the bill.
Under the target price, a farmer would be guaranteed $2.05
for a bushel of wheat, $1.38 for a bushel of corn and 38 cents
for a pound of cotton.
The Senate bill, abandoned, would have guaranteed $2.28
for wheat, $1.53 for corn and 43 cents for cotton.
Under the target price concept, a figure would be designated
for .te fir.tyear and the ,es:alator would annually adjust
the 1 ev." -"=
If existing relationships are continued between farm prices
and crop production costs, no subsidy payments would be
necessary. But if prices drop sharply, growers would re-
ceive payments making up the difference between the target
and their sales returns.
