Farmers needing emergency help should apply direct to the State Energy Office (SEO) for a temporary emergency allotment, using FEO number 20 form, or any other form developed by the SEO. The forms are available at the Regional FEO, the State Energy Office and the local ASCS office. Training sessions are being conducted so that farmers can get help in the ASCS office in filling out the forms. Mr. Holyoak explained that farmers using less than 20,000 gallons of fuel a year who do not have a supplier, may use FEO form No. 20 to apply for a permanent assignment to Porter By Anne Of- fice and the U.

For instance, the national average price in November, the latest month we have a report on, was 81.4 cents a pound, compared with the March peak of 97.2 cents. Pointing out that U.S. Dept, of Agriculture experts say that 1974 price outlook is somewhat hazy, ASCS farm program officials advise wool producers to keep careful records of 1974 marketings and all receipts, sales slips, and the like.
