Medicare medical insurance is offered automatically to people who reach 65 and are eligible for social security benefits and to disabled people under 65 who have been entitled to monthly social security disability benefits for 24 consecutive months or more. Nine out of 10 people eligible are enrolled in the program according to Hodges.

Hospital insurance is funded by social security contributions from workers, employers, and self-employed people. "People 65 and over who are not eligible for social security benefitscan apply at any social security office and get Medicare hospital insurance by paying a premium," Hodges said.

"The basic premium is $36 a month through June 1975 and they must also sign up for the medical insurance as well" he said. Two parallel rows spaced six inches apart on beds as compared to his conventional single row planting system made J61 pounds more cotton per acre for a Goodyear grower, he reported today. William Z. Wade indicated his first pick from the double rows yielded 984 pounds lint an acre. Frum the comparison single rows, the lint yield ran pounds or a difference in favor or the double rows of 109 pounds.

The lint yield from the second and final picking showed; Double rows 182 pounds vs. from the single row stand. Thus, there was an additional 52 pounds in favor of double row platings in the 1974 test conducted with Dr. Brooks Taylor, University of Arizona cotton specialist, and Dale Cannon, UA agricultural engineer. The two measured stands, each three acres in siae, were picked with a two-row spindle machine.

"The two rows were purposely kept close together ui order that the picker openings couid straddle them." Taylor said. Wade said his planting scheme called for beds with 38- inch centers and he planted DPI 61 seed at a depth of V4 to I inch deep in dry soil. When planting, at a rate of 23 pounds of seed per acre, was completed, he turned in irrigation water to germinate the stand. His planting date was April S.

Why the sudden interest? Part of the growth is explained in an announcement from the U. S. Extension Service, winch administers the nations 4-if program. At the end of J874.

The largest breed organizations recorded 36 percent more hones inl973 than in 1966. Dors Jenes, executive secretary of the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), the world's largest and fastest growing equine registry, explains the growth in this way.

"Many people are searching for sources of recreation, an 'escape' from the ewsryday routine, or perhaps a new business venture. Our society has a great deal of affluence and leisure time to offer the individual, and likewise he desires to get away from the tiustle and bustle of the modern, mechanized world. This oulet, more than ever before we are plsased to say, is becoming the Growth in the American Quarter Horse Association is exemplary of all breeds of horses. AQHA year-end figures illustrate the phenomenon, Jones said. On Nov.

The AQHA closed out the year with 1.038,559 horses recorded in the Stud Book, registering 76,559 naw animals in 1974 at the headquarters office in Amarillo, Texas. Transfer of considered as the barometer of any industry, also reached a new high in 1974, with 153,236 American Quarter horses changing hands. A total of 51 foreign countries have imported the American Quarter Horse, bttt a large percentage of them are being purchased by people in the upper midwest and along the Eastern seaboard. Thus, the American Quarter Horse is returning once again to the place of his origin.

For it was in the early 1600's, in the Carolina and Virginia colonies, that wagering on Quarter Horse races was an astounding $173 million, up nearly $10 million from the previous year. Equally popular in the Quarter Horse industry are approved shows and performance vents for both youth and adults. Over 3000 of them were held in 1974 and 500,000 entries participated. While the parent AQHA has a membership of over 75,000, the American Junior Quarter Horse Association lists 5700 members, Continued from Page 1 settlers developed this animal, bv crossing horses brought relinquish the leases. from England with those left in A summer youth program America by the Spanish involving camping, summer Explorers.

"There are some details left to be worked out," said DeGrazia. "The dates and other things have to be settled and we want to get a catalog worked out.

But these paintings are very important to Casa Grande, because of the Papagos here and the fact that Father Kino went through here." The collections include about 20 paintings each. The Papago series, just completed in December, are included in DeGrazia's latest book, "The Legends of the Papago Indians," which he said is due for publication in September, They depict the history of the tribe and scenes of daily life on the reservation, he The Kino series illustrates Father Eusebio Kino's travels and the missions he established at San Xavierdel Bac, Guevavi and Tumacacori to improve the living conditions and bring Christianity to the Indians in the late Seventeenth and early Eighteenth centuries. DeGrazia said the Kino paintings are significant to Casa Grandeans because Kino passed near what is now Casa Grande's townsile and conducted services at the Casa Grande Ruins in 1678. If the arrangements are worked out, he added, the paintings may be in Gasa Grande for between four and six months. He said two other cities, Tucson and Yuma, also have expressed interest in borrowing the collections.

As a result, the two collections may be shown separately, on a rotational basis among the three cities. DeGrazia displayed a mockup copy of a color catalog for the collections. Thumbing through ite 20-odd pages, he it would give a brief description of each work in the collections. It would be "localized" with the name of the city and a brief section on its relation to the two collections. Ray Prettyman, chairman of Casa Grande's library advisory board which haa been working on the arrangements with DeGrazia for several months, said Monday the group is dealing with such details insurance for the works, security measures and the dates by which the new library is expected to open." Prettyman said he did not know the value of the paintings, but said insurance in She amount of $200,000 "has been talked about."
