Page 8-A MPOWT FROM UASmtor JKBSE ★★ £k HELMS WASHINGTON —Slowly but surety, the politic!*™ in Congress are beginning to team what the people of America have known all along—that forced busing of schoolchildren is a harmful, destructive assault on quality education itself. During the 6% yean I have been in the Senate. I suppose that I have required Senators to vote at least 15 or 20 times on amendments dealing with various aspects of forced busing. Sometimes we have been successful in trimming the power of federal bureaucrats; most of the time, however. I have not been successful. But the point is this: By requiring Senators to take a stand, we have been picking up a few more votes each time. The folks back home are watching how their Senators vote. Perhaps we will not be able to abolish forced busing entirely until some of the present Senators are replaced—but the American people deserve to have this blight upon their schools and their children removed. I have a hunch that sooner or later, they will demand it. POLLS—Every poll that I have seen on the subject in recent years has shown that the vast majority of Americans are opposed to forced busing. They resent it. They know that it is a waste of millions of dollars of tax funds. They know that it is a waste of countless millions of gallons of gasoline each year. They know that the unnecessary hauling of children to school endangers their safety because of the increased risk of accidents. Up to now. the Senate has done only a part of the job of eliminating forced busing. A few weeks ago, the Senate again approved an amendment which I cosponsored to prohibit the Department of Health. Education and Welfare from using tax funds to promote forced busing But that, as I say. was only a part of the job that needs to be done. H.E.W.—The bureaucrats in H.E.W.. seeing their own authority cut off. immediately trotted over to the Justice Department and contrived with the bureaucrats there to do the dirty work that H.E.W. was no longer able to do under the law. % In short, the H.E.W. bureaucrats are making an end run around Congress. So Representative Jim Collins of Texas and I put in identical amendments in the House and Senate to cut off funds to Justice Department bureaucrats to promote forced busing. Meanwhile, a federal judge in Marion County. Fla., in effect ruled that the Helms-Collins amendment was valid. He dismissed a forced busing case that had been brought by the Justice Department, saying that the bureaucrats do not have the legal authority to promote forced busing. However, his judgement has been appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Eventually, it may be decided by the U. S. Supreme Court.

We designed the barn to be as efficient as possible employing op timum air flow and humidity control in order to obtain the best cure possible,” Campbell said. The Oxford Station con ducts tobacco experiments on an average of 60 acres annually. Each acre generally will accomodate 200, twenty-plant plots. The barn produces a uniform curing of harvested leaves from plants in 150 to 300 tobacco plots. Smaller lots of tobacco can be cured by installing temporary par titions and restricting the air flow, Campbell said. Most commercial bulk curing barns have 122 racks in tfom while CamnbeU’s mini-barn is filled withady 90. The 7.3 meter long, 1.8 meter wide barn is about the size of one “room” of a commercial barn and satisfied researcher’s needs for curing small amounts of tobacco. “In order to get the best results, test plots need to be cured as evenly as possible,” Campbell said. “This barn reduces much of the variability in tem perature and humidity we deal with when curing tobacco.” Special features of the muni-barn include four side windows for inspection of tobacco during curing, positive humidity control and a conditioning system for bringing the cured leaf to a workable moisture level with 24 hours. The curing cycle for the barn runs five to six days. The barn is well insulated and all air leakes are eliminated. Tests using good curing management indicate that the barn can decrease fuel consumption as much as 50 per cent compared to figures recently released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture from " a statewide average curing cost survey. Campbell feds this energy efficiency is another positive aspect of the barn. “We’re under pressure to increase efficiency just as much as the former out in the fidd," said Campbell. “Operating budgets are generally not getting larger, but inflationary pressures and increased demand for research efforts continue to rise.” Campbell said materials to construct the mini-barn can be purchased for ap proximately, $3,000. Researchers from other states and several foreign countries have visited the station and gathered in formation on the barn in order to develop similar cur ing facilities at their research stations. Just whether his mini bulk barn will have any application outside the Thursday, August 18, research environment, Campbell does not know, but he feels, with s few modifications, it might be a practical alternative to larger commerdal bulk curing barns for farmers who do not have large tobacco acreages. It might also allow the farmer to save money by doing his own construction work during winter months. “We’ve had quite a bit of interest shown in this barn by small farmers since we first started using it,” Campbell said. “A similar bam might help curb rising investment and curing costs for smallers farmers.” N. C. Commissioner of Agriculture James A. Graham praised the bam for its research value and possible applications for small, family farms. “North Carolina has more small farms than any state, Graham said. “And many of these grow tobacco. These barns might make it possible to grow the small acreages instead of leasing it out to other growers.”
