Of 4-H Meeting, Wataugans Attend
Resource development ? our
challenge to progress!
This was the theme of the r.lxth
Annual 4-11 Regional Resouice De
velopment Conference held at
Fontana Dam Village, June 5-3.
Two 4-H'ers from Watauga
County attended the conference.
They were Agnea Gray Shipley,

of Mr .and Mrs. Edmund Farthing.
They were accompanied by Mrs.
Lillian H. Danner, Assistant Home
Economics Agent.
These Watauga County 4-H'ers
had the opportunity of studying,
along with about 300 other 4-H'ers,
these important : esources ? atmos
phere, soils minerals, wildlife,
forestry, water, and human.
These resource studies were
conducted by experts from TV A
and land-grant colleges In ihe
Tennessee Valley. Besides a lot of
hard study, the delegation :.om
Watauga County had a lot of :'un.
The excellent recreation and die
opportunity of associating with
4-H'ers from six other states also
was a real "education."
Ail the general assemblies nt the
confcrence were conducted by the
4-H'ers themselves. The adult

of the Tennessee Valley region.
They have a deeper knowledge
and appreciation for the resources
of the region.

JEFF HUNTER
PAT OWENS
Secretary Of Agriculture
Comments On Farm Bill'
The big farm bill before Con
gress U being kicked around the
cracker barreli in country stores
all over North Carolina and the
nation.
Tobacco growers, poultrymen,
ranchers, produce farmers and a
barnyard full of other producers
of food and fiber are wondering
and worrying about the bill.
"How will it affect me?" they
all want to know, and many are
misjudging the bill because they
don't know what's in it
Agriculture Secretary Freeman,
concerned over wrong ideas about
the bill, has some comments that
puncture the misconceptions:
1. The Bill lets farmers draw up
and take part in their own pro
grama, by commodities. But no far
mer is forced into a program.
2. The secretary himself will
have less power than .now to in
fluence farm programs such as
price support levels, allotments,
marketing quotas and other things.
It'll be up to the farmers them
selves to do this.
3. Instead of more "government
in agriculture," the bill will mean
less. Problems of supply and de
mand can be tackled by the farm
er*, through county representatives
and others they elect.
4. The bill provides safeguards
for agriculture and the public at
every stage. Spokesmen for each
commodity advise the Secretary of
Agriculture on programs; and Coq
gress has the final say.
5. The act will cut the cost of
federal programs. Ai fraraers bring
aupply in line with demand, the
billion-dollar-a-year bill (or taking
care of lurplua product* will be
reduced considerably.
6. The bill will bring Congreu
closer to farm programs. Congress
may approve every program, 1b
detail; or write and enact others.
7. The Secretary of Agriculture
will use the authority to select
members of his national advisory
committees to safeguard the in
terests of everyone involved in
commodity progranps.
Freeman said these are the ob
jectives of the farm bill:
1. To boost farmer income.
2. To keep agriculture healthy
and proficient, and the consumer
satiafied.
3. To stabilize farm income and
the agricultural economy.
4. To cut farm program cost to
the taxpayer.
5. To use surplus effectively at
home and abroad.
