When a participant in a
1970 farm program certifies
compliance, he certifies ac
curately to acreages in the
program crops and to divert
ed acreage. He also certifies
that he has complied with
conserving base provisions,
with regulations that apply
if he has an interest in more
than one farm, that the di
verted acres on his farm are
devoted to an approved con
serving use. and that all
other program requirements
have been met.
As soon as a program par
ticipant certifies, the Coun

the 57 per 100,000 reported for the
rest of the United States. The rate of
the South Atlantic States was 61 per
100,000. In 1969 116,000 Americans
died in accidents.
During the past year there were
22 fatal accidents to Houston County
residents, 12 of them due to motor
vehicles.
Speaking in terms of statistics, of
course, that low rate sounds fine, and
it speaks well of the care that Houston
County residents employ in the use

payment for 1970 program
participation. Payments to
producers will begin soon af
ter July 1 and are expected
to he completed by the end
of August—the earliest dale
ever set for completion of
program payments.
After a farm has been
certified to be in compliance
with farm programs, it may

determine if any errors were
made in certification. If er

not fully complied and may

Vacation, driving on the highways,
can be a wonderful experience—or it
can be a tragic one. Now is the time
to take stock—be sure your automo
bile is in good shape, take all of the
precautions you read about but usual
ly ignore when you climb behind the
wheel, always watch out for the other
guy who may not use the same care.
Have a great vacation. Don’t be
