Abernathy ran the last 30 seconds out.

"We executed the running game pretty well. We didn't throw the ball very much," Abernathy coach Dewayne Sexton said.

"The throw that Marcus made to Sammy that got us down on the goalline, that was a great throw and a great catch.

·1 felt like we wore them down in the second half. Our defense as relentleal as uaual. Going into the game, we didn't think their big guys were iuhape. We feltlike we could pound on them with the run­ning game, get them tired and have a little advantage there.

"We used eight difl'erent defen­live linemen. That'l what RaIla' Itrength hu been - line up and give it to the big fullback (Rusty Bevel) and let him pound on people."

Abernath)' at Idalou Even if Abernathy beate Idalou

and Floydada beats Lockney, giv­ing all but Floydada 2-3 records, AHS can't get the third playoft' spot. The Antelopes do not have enough net pointe (up to 14 in a game) to challenge the other two.

New Deal (4-0) and Floydada (3-1) are going to the playotTs. Idalou (2-2) and Lockney (2-2) are fighting for the third spot in Dis­trict 7-AA

Idalou needs the game and Ab­ernathy (1-3) can be the spoiler.

"I know it's g(·ing to be hard to do beeaull of the fact it's Idalou. Idalou's got a good ball club. They're playing for something," Sexton said ..

"Their hope is to beat us and hope the chips fall for them in the Floydada-Lockney ,ame. They'll be on their Agame.1 hope our guys are on their A game and we're not just looking forward to starting basketball.

"We talked to our guy. after we lost to New Deal; theae laat two games were out post-l8ason."

With only three seniors leav­ing, Sexton haa 14 juniors that should make • very Itrong team next year. He'aallOplayedllveral sophomoreaand &eahmenwho wm be veteranl next year.

"We want to pt up and ule the lut two 81 a .prinJboard into nut year. RaIla wu apdatep. It will beapd,ame. They've IOta lot of thinp to play for. We're playing for pride. .

... tired or loaiq to Idalou. W.loae to them, pretty much, in ever:ythinr. W. need to reverae that trend. Idalou's ldds believe they're not pin. to 1018 to 01.·

Idalou (5-4) has not had an easy lIason. They edged Lockney last week 23-22 by amothering a 2-point Longhorn conversion at­tempt in the closing minutes.

"They've struggled a lit~ bit. They haven't just rumbled through district the way they have in the past. They'reverybeatable. We've got to be on our A game.

"They do a good job on special teams with (Anthony) DeLeon. He's one of the best kickers around besides being a great oft'ensi ve and defensive player. He'a a heck of a weapon with his range and his accuracy."

DeLeon had a 22-yard field goal against Lockney last week. DeLeon (6-1, 286) also ran . in a 2-point conversion.

"They do an excellent job ofre­turning punts," Sexton said. "They're bringing punts back 150r 20 yards every time. That's two first downs.

"Their otTenll hasn't been put­ting up numbera like they used to. I think it will be a low-aeoring, defensive-like Itruggle. We're not going to be able to break it and go the distance. We may be al faster or a little bit futsr in a couple of areal. We match up pretty well.

"They're pretty big defensively on the inside butthatla where our two biggeat linemen are. Jon Pe­rez weigha about 266. He'll be 80-ing up apinat DeLeon. Jon'a real strong.

·Occallionall,y, they'll flip-flop and put DeLeon on the other Iide. Jon Mendoza i. one of our bast playere. He'l about246. We'l proh­abl,ymatcbupbetterthere(guarda) than most of the teama in our dis­trict.

"It will be good for them to see how they match up against An­thony. He's one of the best 2A players'on the South Plaina and has been since he was a freshman.

Jacob Garcia ran for 107 yards on 19 carries last week and had two touchdowns.

"He's just gotten better and bet­ter. He's got good vision and runs with a fair amount of talent. He likes to cut the ball back. He's had some big plays againstsome of~ur district opponents. Evidently, he has pretty good speed.'

Matt Bozeman runs the club and ran in a TD last week. He hit 6 of 7 paslls for 88 yards.

"He's the key to their ofl'enee, throwing the football and running the option. He's a real good field general. He directs the team and gets them in the right IIts. He doea a good job when he rolls out. They do have some design plays where he rolls out and he's not going to throw the ball," Sexton.

"He's a big quarterback. He's about 6-3, 204, so he haa that ad­vantage of having good viaion downfielcll. He'B a lefty which makes it kind of difficult for the defenll. He's got a good strong arm. Hil receivers work well for him, tryingtoptopen. They catch the ball well.

·As far as beinl aa elulive as (New Deal'a Robert) Montoya, I don't . think anybody il in that league. Bozeman playa well in the eecondary allO"

Now the Soviet Union's collapse should have meant

That we all celebrated a joyous event Thc:f would usher us into on era of peace,

Yet a turmoil ensued that went on without cease;

And our servicemen hod to be ready once more

To assist other notions in ending the war. So. thonk God for our heroes and show

begin dispersing billion in supplemental Agriculture Market Transition Act (AMT A) payments November 3. The payments are also known as Market Loss Assistance (MLS) payments.

MLS payments will equal 49.72 percent of the 1998 AMY A payment rate. For cotton the MLS payment rate will be around 4 cents per pound.

All recipients of the MLS payment should be aware that the income it represents CANNOT be deferred and will be taxable on 1998 tax returns. Producers who want, or need, to limit their 1998 tax burden should look for ways to defer other areas of expected income to offset the taxes payable on the MLS payment. . .

Additional information about MLS payment rates for other crops can be obtained from local USDA Farm Service A,ency offices.

Negotiations continue within USDA as to the method for dispersing the remaining funds approved in the recently passed ag disaster assistance package. Additional details will be published as they become available.

Paymaster Cottonseed and the · Monsanto Corporation announced two new programs for cotton growers who purchase and plant stripper varieties of Roundup Ready® cottonseed.

The new programs apply only to PM 2326RR, PM 2200RR and PM 2145RR cottonseed. The programs will provide a grower the opportunity to receive free seed for replanting or provide a rebate up to $17.50 per bag of seed purchased if initial acreage is lost and the grower opts to switch to an alternate crop.

"PCG continually works with the companies that provide the tools growers use to grow their crops. The announcement by Paymaster of their I 999 Replant and Crop Destruct programs will provide growers with an economically viable option for incorporating new technology into their. farming operations," says PCG Executive Vice President Steve Verett.

"We stron/lly support new programs and services, no matter who provides them, that benefit the grower and provide them with useful new tools."

PCG has been working with Monsanto and Paymaster for several months and has encouraged them to develop programs that will make new technology available to more cotton growers.

PeG efforts to obtain a deviation form the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation for 1998 boll count appraisal methods were successful and that success has helped spur further changes effective for the 1999 crop year.

For the past several years the FCIC has used a boll count ·factor of 250 green and unopened bolls per pound when adjusting damaged cotton before bolls are open. If the changes currently contemplated go through, this factor will change to 350 green and unopened bolls per pound of lint for 1999. .

The change is good news for producers. PCG . officials believe the change more accurately reflects the

boll sizes of today's most popular cottonseed varieties and will give a more accurate measure of the crops yield potential when it is utilized.

Work is currently being done to gather data about boll size and yields from a number of varieties to confirm the change in the boll count procedure.

Researchers with the Texas Agncultural Extension Service are gathering and extrapolating the necessary data for this purpose. . . . . . . . . .. .. .... InIIIaIIII ............. LUBBOCK, October 30, 1998 By Shawn Wade A series of educational meetings has been scheduled for
