Over farms and ranches nationwide will receive a 1997 Census of Agriculture report form within the next few days And there is something different about this census “We are about to undertake a process that touches every farmer and rancher in the Nation and for the first time in history USD A is responsible for this task" said Agriculture Dan Olickman Previous censuses of agriculture were conducted by the US Bureau of the Census The transfer of the census to USDA represents the consolidation of the entire Federal agricultural statistics program into one agency Now there will be one source for all important information on agriculture “By combining the resources of the former Bureau of the Census with the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) staff we expect to make the results available more than 6 months earlier than in the past” Glickman added “Not only does the census reach everyone during mailout but perhaps more importantly the results published in the census of agriculture reports impact farmers and ranchers both directly and indirectly” Although there are many studies about farming the census is unique because it is the only source information about of local small family farms Completed report forms are due by February 2 998 “I want farmers and ranchers to know we are there to help them complete their report forms and they can take number” advantage of our said Glickman number The will he answered by local staff from USDA’s 45 NASS field offices In addition other local USDA offices will be available to help Another “first” for the census of agriculture will be the collection of information about Christmas trees maple trees tapped and farms with all land under the Conservation Reserve Program NASS has also fortified efforts to improve the coverage of farms Also for the first time all farm operators on American Indian Reservations will be counted Response to the census is required by law That same law protects the privacy of the reports information about individual operations is strictly confidential and census responses are immune from legal processes Ws Buy one FOOT LONG or SALAD at the regular price GET ONE of egual or lesser price for only Dec 31 to At this tijytjjwhen we prepare to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace we look ardtfoti and see a lack of peace in our world Our troops still occupy and our Irish and Bosnia the' Middle East continues to be a Korean brothers and sisters are divided along political lines Here at home race relations are tense more than 50 percent of all families are divided by divorce and the rate of domestic violence and abuse are rising ominously The Prince of Peace is probably appalled by the way we behave toward one another But there is hope With the right attitude all things can be made new What’s key is a willingness to leave old hurts and animosities behind and to allow Christ’s peace to enter our hearts Once we do that once we let the Lord of Light come to us and dwell within us then we can become his Light his Peace in the world We can help heal the wounds that divide us The Community of St Elizabeth Catholic Church in Monroe wishes you a Blessed Christmas and we pray for you and your family that you may receive the Lord of Peace and that He may dwell with you as your permanent houseguest We will have two Masses on Christmas Eve at St Elizabeth’s: a Family Mass at 5 pm and our Christmas Eve Mass beginning at pm (preceded by the singing of Christmas Carols at 10:30 pm) We will have Christmas Day Masses at St Anthony of the Desert in Torrey at 9 am and at and in share come these St Jude's Ephraim at 12:30 pm We invite all to services with us Let us come together to the crib of Bethlehem so that together year $149 The Maverik Store Salina Ut pure hue of drink ft you’re eggs ag y?
