TIAAES-NEWS, ThurS., April 12, 1973 Hearing Slated On G)astal Act SCS Services Increased, Especially To Governments ICK3tXX3S3«3aOKXX3tX3CXa L %X3SXSS%%3SSS%XX%XX3a 'ews From ' Halifax Tech !XXX%%X%X3eXXXSeXXXXXSSX3SXXXSS3SXX3eXXXX3eX%3 RALEIGH — Even while continuing its main programs of serving rural and urban land-owners, the Soil Conservation Service in North Carolina is expanding its services to local units of government. State Conservationist Jesse L. Hicks of Raleigh, who heads the U. S. Department of Agriculture agency in North Carolina, said that during the past fiscal year, services to government units more than doubled the total for the previous year. SCS employees, working through local soil and water conservation districts, provided 1,150 services to 351 units of government, and in greater variety than before, Hicks pointed out. Categories included 20 natural resource plans requested by local governmental officials, 151 inventories and evaluations'nf resource data, and advice on selecting 58 sites for public facilities. These sites ranged from sanitary landfill locations to places for parks, buildings and other facilities. “We expect the demand for such services to remain at a very high level in future years,” the state conservationist said, “because it is evident that the information provided is valuable to the officials who request it.” A signigicant aspect of this service to governmental units came when the North Carolina Soil and Water Conservation Committee and the Soil Conservation Service developed a Memorandum of Understanding with the State Board of Health which can Big Jim Says Take Care In Preparing Tax Returns RALEIGH - North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham last week urged the state’s farmers to take extreme care in preparing income tax returns to be sure of taking advantage of all provisions provided for their use. “One provision which was brought to my attention today was the application of investment credit which is not used this year against any of the previous three years,” Graham said. “The Revenue Act of 1971 provides that ■ farmers can receive a direct credit against their tax due for 7 percent of qualifying •property 'which has a 'depreciation! life of seven or jmore years'. • • ' “Taxpayersdl^e''due more credit than their tax for > 1972 can file an amended return for the year 1969, 1970 or 1971 to take advantage of this credit,” the Commissioner continued. “Any farmer who finds himself in this situation must file for the credit against 1969 by April 16 this year as he can only revise his form for the previous three years at any given time. “This investment, credit is equally applicable to any livestock, other than horses, as it is to farm equipment or other tangible business property. “I certainly do not know all the fine details of the tax laws as they relate to agriculture.” Graham agreed, “but I would urge farmers to consult a tax advisor and to be sure he gets the proper credit.” Farmer’s Wife Angry, Too Believe it or not, a farmer’s wife gets just as angry about high food prices as does the wife of anyone else. One reason, of course, is because she feels the pinch when she goes past the check out just as much as a city housewife does. But she’s got still another reason to be unhappy. She knows'how little-the farmer » benefits from these higher pfices;7o “v , , ' Fof ex^pre, 1^2 'tb 1972, farm prices of food products increased less than 11 per cent while retail food prices went up about 46 per* cent. During this same period of time, the farmer’s costs of production increased around 109 per cent. However, wage increases have soared upward by around 130 per cent. It’s no wonder she gets angry! So why do your food bills keep climbing? Because of inflated prices for all goods and services and because a lot happens to the food between the farmer and you. also be put into effect between county health boards and local soil and water conservation districts, which serve every county in North Carolina. “Many health departments across North Carolina are also utilizing such assistance as use of soils data to determine whether or not a proposed housing area can utilize septic tank systems,” Hicks commented, adding that in addition many city and county planners are using SCS data for residential zoning and related matters. Even while increasing services to government and urban interests, conservation districts and the Soil Conservation Service are also working with farmers in increasing numbers. During the fiscal year an additional 3,075 land users became agricultural cooperators, bringing the total to 72,886 land users who operate more than nine million acres of land. Many of these develop their soil and water resources for multiple uses, from pastures and crop production to recreation areas and campgrounds. During the year cooperators built more than 400 farm ponds, bringing the total in almost four decades of conservation work to almost 66,000 ponds in North Carolina.These ponds store water for livestock and irrigation — but also for wildlife and recreation, both fishing and swimming. Rural landowners also applied conservation cropping systepns on nearly three million acres, established vegetation to control erosion on more than 800 acres of critical area, and installed 4.6 million miles of tile or open.. To better serve the state, which-for several years has had 88 soil and water conservation districts serving the 100 North Carolina counties, several new districts were established in August, 1972, bringing the total to 92 separate districts. Most districts serve an individual county; only a few cover more than one county. In debating the Equal Rights Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, state labor laws that protect women are no longer an issue. Court decisions interpreting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 have either nullified the. laws or extended them to qicn.

Fair to All RALEIGH — At the present time, in much of the nation, a union may boycott farmers’ products in an effort to get them to sign up their workers in a union — even if the workers don’t want to join. Farmers feel that this is unfair to them because other businessmen have protection against secondary boycotts. Not only is this unfair to farmers and farm workers, but consumers now find their right to an open market impaired by secondary boycotts gainst some farm products. 'Those who wish to buy may be told that the store does not sell the desired item because of pressures from unions and social action groups. Many consumers do not understand how food products can be boycotted in ways which would be illegal if applied to manufactured goods. Congress could please all three groups — consumers, farm workers, and farmers — by passing a bill which has been introduced in the House of Representatives (H.R. 4011). Here are spme of the things which the Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1973 would do; (1) Provide a secret ballot election procedure for workers, (2) Ban secondary boycotts in the same way the National Labor Relations Act does, (3) Be administered by an Agricultural Labor Relations Board with its own general counsel and personnel, (4) Require a 20- day notice of intent to strike on the part of a union, (5) Cover all farms with more than 500 man-days of farm labor, (6) Preserve state “right-to-work” laws, but authorize negotiation of union shop agreements in states which do not have these laws, (7) Provide for essentially the same “unfair labor practices” as in the NLRA (which governs industrial labor relations). It should be remembered that practically no area of the country is immune from the tactics of nvilitant farm labor organizers like Cesar Chavez (the would-be czar of farm workers across the nation). The bill now befdre Congress would provide protection for all concerned. meet on Tuesday evenings. This course will deal in fundamental principles of photography and dark room procedures.
