Competes in the FFA Rural Electrification Contest
Ronnie Long to
Represent FFA
Ronnie Long, son of Mrs. J.A.
Marshall, will represent the
Forsyth County Chapter of
Future Farmers of America in
the area eliminations of the
FFA Rural Electrification
Contest to be held Feb. 24 at
Athens.
According to FFA advisor
Charles Edwards, contestants
in the area electrification
contest will compete for cash
prizes and for an opportunity to
compete in the State Rural
Electrification Contest on
March 13.
“The area contest is divided
into three parts,” said Ed
wards. “Each contestant must
present a three to four minute
talk on “Rural Electricity in my
Future.” He will be judged on
knowledge, how well he follows
his subject, presentation, ap
pearance and his ability to stay
within the time limitations. The
second part of the contest will
be a 25 question true-false
examination. The third part will
be a wiring problem that he will
be assigned.”

Term ‘Blue Jeans’
Shows Your Age
By Mrs. Zelma R. Bannister
County Extension
Home Economist
If the term “blue jeans”
means anything to you your age
is showing. Today jeans can
be—red, gold, brown or black.
They can be striped or plaid.
They may be of velvet or cor
duroy.
Jeans, a popular favorite of
especially the youth of our
country, were adapted from the
style clothes worn by the early
pioneers of the “old west.”
Today’s jeans are made in
both Standard and Western
cuts. The standard cut is a full
cut hip. Western cut jeans are
cut slimmer through the hips.
The width of the leg of jeans
varies with the fashion em
phasis. During the jean craze of
the 1950’s the extremely slim,
stovepipe leg was the fashion
cut. Today the leg may be full
and straight, or tight at the top
and flared at the bottom. The
pencil slim look of the legs of
jeans has not been revived.
Denim of 100 percent cotton is
the traditional fabric, noted for
its sturdiness. In today’s jeans a
blend with nylon gives ad
ditional length of wear and
abrasion resistance. Look for a
vulcanized double knee in small
boys’ jeans. This extra layer of
heavy cotton fused to the inside
of the legs reinforces this area
of stress. If the ones you buy
don’t have this buy the iron-on
piatches available in fabric
shops and press them in place
before the jeans are worn.
Good jeans should have a

will count 50 percent of his
grade, will be judged on safety,
efficiency, time required and
neatness.
The first place winner in the
area contest will receive a S2OO
scholarship and a chance to
compete in the State contest.
Second place will get SIOO to
attend the National FFA
Convention and a chance to
compete in the State contest. A
cash prize of $75 goes to third
place and $25 to fourth place.
In addition to the individual
members entering the awards
program, the chapter as a
whole will be in competition in
the electrification program.
The chapter will be judged on 1)
record of classroom and
laboratory instruction in
electrical wiring, 2) teaching
aids and practice panels used,
3) projects carried out by
chapter as a group since Feb.
15, 1970, 4) record of electrical
jobs done by individual chapter
members since Feb. 15, 1972.
FFA members are high

Set-Aside Acreage for
Grains Gets Reduction
By: EDSELMARTIN
Set-aside requirements of the
1973 feed grain program are
being reduced in order to
achieve larger corn and
soybean crops and thereby
meet an increase in domestic
and export demand which has
developed since the program
was announced, Secretary of
Agriculture Earl L. Butz said.
The required set aside for full
compliance has been changed
from 30 to 25 percent of a
producer’s feed grain base. For
participants electing not to
comply fully with the set-aside
program the required set aside
has been changed from 15 to 0
percent.
If the participant sets aside
an acreage equal to 25 percent
of his base the payment rate
will be 32 cents per bushel for
corn, 30 cents per bushel for
grain sorghum and 26 cents per
bushel for barley on one-half the
feed grain base. Through a
combination of the set-aside
payment and the 5-month (Oct. -
Feb.) national average market
price for the respective grains,
participants who set aside 25
percent of their feed grain base
will be guaranteed a national
average return equal to 70
percent of parity on Qct. 1,1973.
This guarantee is based on
production from one-half of

their corn, grain sorghum, or
barley bases. Supplemental
payments, if any, to such far
mers will be made as soon as
possible after March 1, 1974.
Producers who elect not to set
aside acreage but do not in
crease their feed grain acreage
above 1972 will be eligible for a
lower payment rate of 15 cents
per bushel for corn, 14 cents per
bushel for grain sorghum and 12
cents per bushel on barley on
one-half the feed grain base.
Such participants will receive
this payment as soon as possible
after July 1,1973 but will not be
eligible for any supplemental
payments and will have no
minimum guarantee.
The Secretary also announced
that haying of conserving crops
will be permitted on acreage set
aside under the provisions of the
1973 feed grain and wheat
programs.
The decision to permit haying
of conservation crops as w'ell as
the earlier announced grazing
was made in order to prevent or
alleviate a shortage in the
supply of livestock feed, the
Department explained.
Participants electing to uti
lize the set-aside acreages for
haying and grazing must notify
their County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
(ASCS) Offices prior to haying
or grazing and must agree that
the 1973 conserving base for the
farm shall not be less than the
one established for 1972. A
reduction of 30 percent will be
made of the average feed grain
