The permanent conservation practice will be eligible for cost-share payments through the agricultural conservation program. This approach will permit farmers more flexibility in managing their total farm base for future year participation. It also reflects the secretary's intent to introduce more conservation incentives into the annual commodity program. Other program details will be announced later. Motorists paying fines will support EMS programs Motorists in Mississippi who have to pay fines for violating hazardous moving traffic laws will indirectly cy medical service programs.

be supporting local level emergen. After July 1, hazardous moving traffic violations fines will include an extra $5 which will be used for local EMS programs. The extra fine is a result of House Bill 985, which passed in the 1982 session of the Mississippi Legislature and became effective July 1. House Bill 985 creates an Emergency Medical Services Fund in the State Treasury to provide a source of revenue for the support of EMS programs operated by cities, counties, and EMS districts. The Legislature will appropriate annually to the State Department of Health for redistribution to cities and counties which support local EMS programs.

The Department of Health will be responsible for administration and accountability of the fund. Wade Spruill, director of the Department of Health Office of EMS, said, "The fund, which does Vying for the title of Mississippi's Miss Hospitality July 28-31 Miss Hospitality on the Mississippi Gulf Coast will be, top row, from left, Susan King, Clinton; Penny Anderson, Forest; Judy Henderhopefuls prepare son, Raymond; bottom row, from left, Jill Everett, Pearl; Maria Hayes, Leake County; Jennifer Munn, Mendenhall. for next week This event is sponsored annually by the Mississippi Department of Economic Development, Division of Tourism. Wheat Program for 1983 shows acreage reduction Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block announced a 20 percent acreage reduction program for 1983 crop wheat and advance wheat deficiency payments to those farmers who participate in the program.

"The reduced acreage program should strengthen wheat prices by' limiting next year's harvest and the buildup of stocks," Block said. "At the same time," he said, "the program will increase long -term conservation on wheat land." "Participation is voluntary, but only farmers who enter the program will be eligible for price support loans, target price protection and eligibility for the farmer owned grain reserve," he said. Block also said the U.S. Department of Agriculture is intensifying its wheat export efforts and expanding its export credit sales program. Block announced additional credit financing under the export credit guarantee (GSM 102) program.

This will expand credit to countries buying U.S. farm products. The additional authorization of $300 million will increase the GSM 102 level to $2.8 billion from hee currently authorized $2.5 billion. While high interest rates have discouraged the use of the guaranteed loan programs this year, this funding increase will allow creditworthy countries to expand borrowing once financial or other conditions change. Block also announced these other 1983 wheat program provisions: will get an advance pay- The land taken from production and devoted to conservation must be eligible cropland protected from wind and water erosion.

Acreage designated to meet the conservation requirement may not be mechanically harvested and grazing will not be permitted during the six principal growing months. In addition, Block also announced an incentive to divert eligible crop land for permanent conservation practices. If the producer incorporates permanent conservation practices, such acreage will be ment equal to one-half the estimated 1983-crop deficiency (target price) payments at the time they sign up. This will help farmers who have tight cash flow problems. Signup will begin Sept.

7 for winter wheat producers and later for spring wheat farmers. target price of $4.30 per bushel. loan rate of $3.55 per bushel for grain placed under the regular loan program and $4 per bushel for wheat placed into the reserve. Reserve storage payments will remain at 26.5 cents per bushel. taken from production must be devoted to conservation uses.

Farmers participating in the 1983 acreage reduction program must reduce their wheat acreage for harvest by at least 20 percent from an established wheat base. If the farmer participated in the 1982 wheat program, the 1983 wheat acreage base will be the same as the 1982 base. For producers who did not participate in the 1982 wheat program, their 1983 acreage base will be the average acreage planted for harvest of the 1981 and 1982 crops. To meet the conservation uses requirement a farmer with a 1983 acreage base of 100 acres can plant no more than 80 acres of wheat for the 1983 harvest. The remaining 20 acres must be devoted to conservation uses.

If farmers plant fewer than the permitted 80 acres, they will be permitted to devote fewer acres to conservation. For example, if only 50 acres are planted, only 12.5 acres (25 percent of 50) will have to be devoted to conservation uses.
