FRIDAY PAGE FOUR (Second Section) THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER House Committee Cuts Soil Conservation Fund Half Of Expected Amount AAA Work in Hay wood Ordered To Halt; Chance Seen For Farmer Refund A nearly 50 per cent cut in the Department of Agriculture appro priation bill for soil conservation wui'K was reported last week-end by the House of Representatives appropriation committee, as one of the majority party- economy meas ures. If the appropriation is passed as reported it will mean in Huywood county thai there will be no fur ther payments by the AAA for lime, phosphate or winter cover crops; and the strong possibility that payments already made by the AAA for the purchase of pasture Drs.

I). THE FACT IS fly GENERAL ELECTRIC seed may have to be one-half re paid by the farmer. The appropriation is expected to be debated in the House this week and since the Republicans have a strong -majority it is believed to have a good chance for passage. The administration and representa-, tives from agricultural sections of j the country, however, are expected to make a fight for increasing the appropriation. When passed by the House the1 appropriation bill will be sent to, the Senate and referred to the ap-1 jpropriation committee of that: I group. The Senate has not been ! as strong for economy as has the ; House and it is believed that the upper chamber will restore much of the conservation appropriation In view of the House committee recommendation, telegrams from G. T. Scott, state director of the production and marketing admin istration, have been sent to county AAA administrators in North Caro lina slating: "Until further notice issue no purchase orders for conservation materials and services. Cancel the purchase orders in hands of farm ers and cendors on which work has not been started, in the case of; services on which delivery has not been made, and in the case of ma terial and seed.

It operates on a calendar year, from January 1 through Dcccmhcrj HI, while it is paid for by money ; that actually will not be provided! by Congress mil il July. 1 I.asl year the AAA program op- crated on a national budget of ' proximately $:)U(),00(l,000 I'resi-i dent Truman announced that lie I ' would submit a budget recommend ing the same amount for 1947, and i one-third decrease in 1948 On this basis, the program was set up prior to January-on roughly the same scale as last year, with an estimated budget for Haywood county of $65.21)!) for 1947 prac t ices. ; This $G5,28!) has already been obligated, for pasture seed pur chases, lime and phosphate, and I lie new trail-making program. In addition, Haywood planned to spend more since in past years il had obtained additional funds from counties that did not spend the amount they had been allotted. The house appropriation commit tee, rather than following the pres- ' idenlial budget, decreased the fed eral funds for 1947 to $ 1 5, 1 4 290, ! j a cut of approximately 4.1 per cent of that anticipated. If the bill j passes as reported oul of the com-1 milter-, then the amount to be j i awarded Ha; wood county will be , cut proportionately. i The effect of this would be that no further conservation practices! could be partially financed by the AAA And since twice the allot ment has been spent, this money ! would have to he refunded from j the farmers who received it j Thus the principal hope of avoid- ! ing such a problem lies in Con- ' Kress restoring the appropriation 1 at or near the $:!()(), (Kill, 000 level, which agricultural leaders feel would be Ihe result if individual farmers showed I heir representa tives that such was their wish.

That is not right, for the I man who wore that uniform should j he remembered by his own, and I any member of his family should l deem it an honor to step forward and receive the flag which will : wave over his grave during the coming year. There is no finer way to teach the younger generation history than by taking them to a memorial service of this kind, and letting them receive the flag for "their family". Secretary of Agriculture Clin ton I. Anderson says that the nation's sugar situation should he normal by 1948, if it continues to improve as much as it has dur ing the last few months. We won der if housewives will ever make as many jams and jellies as they once did, after the long years of hvaing such a good excuse not doins so for jam and jelly mak ing are among the most strenu ous forms of canning, and as we heard one woman who formerly "made her own" say, "Now you can buy them just as good as you once made them". Whether you resume former preserving and jellying or not, it will be wonderful, if you want to make a batch of cookies, or get in the mood for a certain kind of cake, or candy, to go into your kitchen with never a thought of how much sugar it will take.

Britain Allowed Quota Of U. S. Coal Exports LONDON i AP) The 17-nation European Coal Organization agreed unanimously today that the United Kingdom should receive an allo cation of American Coal, provided United States exports to Europe exceeded 9,000,000 tons in the third quarter of this year. J. Eaton Griffiths, Chairman of the E.C.O. said there were reason able prospects that Great Britain would receive almost her total bid of 1,200.000 tons, as United States exports to Europe were likely to be 10,200,000 tons during the period. Great Britain, previously a sup plier of coal for allocation to the other 12 European importing na tions, for the first time had re quested to be included among im porters.
