'(
training in a shert time (each group
spends -only one week at summer
camp), 'farm shop classes will be 0
minutes long,
' We will consider the program
worthwhile If we do nothing more
than give our rural youth a broad
view of the- role of modern shop
in farm work,' he said. '
If -we can create in their minds
the need for an adequate shop on
their own farm back home to
help them make a better living and
to live better after they make that
living - then we will have made
real progress.' K!'; '
The Thor , Research Center 4-H
shop at Camp Millstone also will be
available for intensive shop cours
es for special students after the re
gular summer camp closes, Mr. Har
rill said. The pattern for such ac
tivity already has been set at the
North Carolina ; : - summer camps
where special post - camp courses
re regularly offered in forestry
and wild life. ; -rr
Tbe. shop also will be available
for : tours ; and demonstrations for
various agricultural groups' which
schedule off-season meetings at the
camp site, ;;V;
Statewide competitions among 4
H'ers in farm shop projects and
demonstrations are a proposed sec
ond phase of the pilot program in
'North Carolina, Mr.- Harrill an
nounced. These probably will not
begin until next year, after there
has been an opportunity to establish
shop facilities at ; the other three
state summer camps. '
'What they see and learn in the
camp shop will be the stimulus for
the competitions which will begin
back home in their local clubs,' he
said.
Any program to be successful must
be based on need 'and we know
there is real need for this pro
gram,' Mr. Harrill stated.
'We must educate our farm young
sters in modern power methods of
farm maaintenance or bear the re
sponsibility for their failure in the
intensely scientific and mechanized
farming ef tomorrow.'
THIS WEEK
In Washington
With
Clinton Davidson
President Eisen
hower : added fue!
o the already hot
farm program con
troversy by his de
cision to continue
With Bara Taft Benson as his Sec retary
' of ; Agriculture. '
The Secretary has both 'strong
supporters and sharp critics be
cause of his insistence on lowering
price supports and reduction of
fanner dependence on government
programs-
; .Congressional and farm critics
have denounced hint bitterly be
cause farm prices and Income
have declined steadily in recent
years. They contend that his
program has failed and, if con
tinued, would wreck agriculture.
President Eisenhower haa con
tinued to be one of Benson's
itaunchest supporters. Benson
went to uie wnite House not long
ago with an offer to resign, but
Mr. Eisenhower talked him out of ,
It . . $
The decision to keep Benson it
means that farm and congres-''

orobable.
The Secretary, backed by the
powerful Farm Bureau, and a '
minority of Farm Bloc congress- .
men, will seek modiflcatioua in
present farm laws. The main ob
jective wrU be to get legislation f
oermittlng lower price supports, ,
Farmer cooperatives and Uia
National Orange, backed by a ma- -Jority
of Farm Blac congressmen,
will seek a-, major overhauling of
' present programs, with primary,
emphasis on commodity programs, '
Including two-price plana and
marketing' agreements. .
Benson wlL have the' big ad-'
vantage of the President back of
him. He has reason to expect
that Mr. ' EMsenhower 'Would veto '
any program, not in line with his
thinking. 'That happened, in 195S,
when a high price support ,biH '
was vetoed. " .-.-,..,.,(,-
Mr. Elsenhower gave Secretary .'
Benson added backing when he -sent
the nomination of Dr. Don-;
aid Paariberg to the Senate to be;
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
Dr. Paariberg, a former college'
professor, has been chief economlo .
advisor to. Benson since early v
1S5S. - - , j
Dr. . Paariberg drew Are from
eritlcs.of Benson's farm program
when, in a speech, he told farmers
that 'parity was a "dream world"
they should never expect to see;
again. . .
Farm income has 'declined uf t
10 during four years of Benson's
farm program administration. He
. contends that, this was unavoid-
Me because of huge surpluses
built up under the previous Ad
ministration. ( . ,
' Critics, - on Ota other hand,'
charge him wltli following sTpoucy ;
of lower supports trlat resulted In
lover prices. They say his only
proposal Is that Congress give him'
authority to put Into effect stUl
lower prloe supports next year.
, About all yen easi be eartaln ef
is that Benson wflt occupy one of
the hottest spots in Washington
during) the nnt II months.
