Johnnie Bingham, Walter Bean, Jimmie Nance, Carl Graham, and others, but this year’s team looms as a potent possibility… A family reunion was held Friday in the home of Mr. and Mrs. MB Self. Enjoying the evening were Mr. and Mrs. WT Masey and George of Pensacola, Florida; Mr. and Mrs. JL Self and Joni Faye of Silverton; Mr. and Mrs. Leroy McGowen of Plain-view; Cpl. Billy Self, who has just returned from Guam and is now stationed in Cali-fornia; Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Cowan of Silverton, and the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. MB Self and Zobie…
This week in 1950… The Silverton Owl baseball team opened its season Tuesday at Floydada. A bright spot of the afternoon was the manner in which Donald Bean held down the third base position, a spot vacated by big brother, Walter. Little dynamite John Francis did a com-mendable job at short stop as did Wayne McMurtry at second base. Robert McPherson will be out for a few weeks because of a sprained ankle. However, Dean McWilliams looked as if he wants that position for himself. The team lost some good boys last year:

It seems like things are getting back to “nor-mal” this June as the Senior Citizens had their regular first Tuesday of the Month game night this week.
The churches are getting back to their regular times with Sunday School, etc., and the quilters are getting back to quilting on Thursday.
We will still try to keep our distance and wash our hands often.
We are so sorry to hear that Billy Perry passed away. He had heart problems really bad for the past few years. Our heart is so sad for his wife, Vicki (McJimsey) and their families. Prayers to them all.
We learned that Mike Smith is having heart trouble and may soon have to have heart sur-gery. We wish him the best and he will be in our prayers, also.
The roof inspectors have been busy looking at the damage that the recent hail caused. I’m sure that workers will soon be here to put up windows, roofs, etc. back.
How very sorry we all are about the incident that caused the racial disturbance in our country. How sad for the family and we can only pray that everything will work out for the better. We all have to work together for peace.
A good example is the most effective sermon.The wise guest does not wear out his welcome.It is more important to be needed than thanked.
Spotting the befuddled CEO holding a piece of paper and standing by the shredder, the assistant decided to help. “This document is very impor-tant,” said the CEO. “Can you make this thing work?”
The assistant turned the machine on, inserted the paper and pressed start.
“Great,” said the CEO, as the paper disappeared into the machine, “I just need one copy.”
Pray for peace in our country.

Upland cotton farmers eligible for financial assistance from coronavirus program
THOMAS BOYLE, CEA | SPECIAL TO THE CAPROCK COURIER FOR TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE [email protected]
Good news for upland cotton growers came in recently from the Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue.
U.S upland cotton growers will be received direct assistance through the coronavirus Food Assistance Program. This money will help offset price losses and increased marketing costs due to impacts of the pandemic. On May 19 Perdue outlined details of CFAP, which will be provided up to $16 billion in relief payments to America’s farmers and ranchers.
The CFAP program will provide relief to producers of agricul-tural products that have suffered a 5% or greater price decline because of Covid-19. According to the details, eligible upland cotton producers will receive a payment of 9.5 cents per pound paid on the lesser of 50% of a grower’s 2019 total production or the 2019 unpriced inventory.
Producers will receive 80% of the payment in the coming months and the balance later. Unpriced inventory is defined as production that is not subject to an agreed upon price. Basically, anyone who priced their inventory on the futures market will not receive these payments. Applications for assistance will be at the local FSA office from May 26 to August 28, 2020.
The faster farmers apply, the faster they will receive their payments. “To ensure the availability of funding throughout the application period, producers will receive 80 percent of their maxi-mum total payment upon approval of the application,” according to information at www.farmers.gov/cfap/faq. “The remaining portion of the payment, not to exceed the payment limit, will be paid at a later date as funds remain available.”
Producers may apply online at www.farmers.gov/cfap. This website has all the information needed about the CFAP and how to apply online instead of having to physically go to the Farm Service Administration office.
