As a result, several colleges have had to close their doors. Among the reasons given for the drop in the enrollment rate are the ending of the Vietnam war, which has reduced the proportion of young men entering college, the lag in Federal aid for students and the inability of more and more families to meet the rising cost of higher education. However, there still will be about 8.3 million in college this fall, according to the latest figures.

If the average price for wheat is at or above the $2.05 per bushel target price, the producer will receive no payment. If the price average is below the target, the producer will receive the difference between the target price and the five month average price received by all farmers. There will be no preliminary payment. Any payment due will be paid after Dec. 1, 1974. If the average price received by all producers is under $2.05 per bushel for the July through November 1974 period, a producer would be paid on an amount of bushels determined by multiplying the farm allotment times the projected yield established for the farm. The yield projected represents the potential production for the farm as determined by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) County committee. The allotment is set at 55.0 million acres. Thus, on the average, allotment each producer's in. 1974 will bp nhmit three times that of his 1973 allotment. This allotment represents the number of harvested acres of wheat, based on the estimated domestic average yield, which would result in production equal to estimated domestic and export disappearance in the 1974-- 75 marketing year. This allotment is similar to the domestic allotment in the 1973 Wheat program in that it is not a constraint on the amount of wheat that can be planted and its sole purpose is for making payments to producers in the h event the average price received by farmers is less than the target price. five-mont- The total amount of payments a person may receive under one 12 cents over 1973 crop loans.
