Soil Conservation Farm News:
Tile Provides Improved
Drainage, Cuts Farm Costs
By HOy BECK
Soil Conservation Service
Robert Harris of Beaverdam
community plans to install Held
drain tile in a ditch that runs
diagonally across his river bottom
Held. When the tile is installed.
Mr. Harris will have one large
field instead of two small ones.
Thus, the field can be farmed more
economically with a tractor. Mr.
Harris will also be saved the ex
pense of shrubbing and cleaning
out this ditch as he had had to
do every year or so.
Experience of farmers all over
the state has proven that properly
installed field drain tile provides
better drainage than open ditches.
And most of these farmers say
that the saving in maintenance
pays for putting in the tile in about
five years.
E F. Caldwell has just complet
ed laying a MO foot tile line on
R, G. Coffey's farm In Saunook.
This job required dynamiting
through about two feet of bed rock.
Mr. Caldwell says this tile dried
up a really wet piece of ground.
T. O. Chafitl of Fairview com
munity has drained, a spring-head
In one of his fields with drain tile.
Mr. Chafin had to dig the ditch
through several wet places to get
all of the water. Now he can farm
on the contour across this sloping
field and not have to worry about
getting his tractor stuck at plow
ing time
Farmers whg have drainage probv
lems on tfrelr land can get techni
cal help from their local Soil on
servation District supervisors and
cost-sharing help from the ASC
committee.
Out of a 1.000-pound beef steer
there are only 140 pounds of steak;
56 pounds of sirloin, round and

Nail To Congressmen Is
Increasing; Senator Ervin
Sees Tough Session Ahead
WASHINGTON ? Coggegss has
picked up where It quit lsst Aug
ust. It U a spectacle to see how
full of activity Capitol Hill be
come* with the return of Congress
THE lOVTINl
During the first two week* ot
the session, very little time has
been spent in the actual session
We met long enough to reeeive a
number M special messages from
the President, Including the State
of the Union and the very import
ant farm messages. But recent
days have been largely filled with
the important routine of virtually
unending committee meetings.
Committees are formulating legis-,
lation for floor debate. This entails
hearing many witnesses on alt
1 sides of an issue. One important
feature of a .second session of
Congress (this is the second ses
sion of the 84th) is that legislation
landing before the Congress car
ries over from the first to the sec
ond session. There are already a
number of bills which will be
ready for floor action right away,
rhe Majority Leader will call the
bills, usually giving several days;
notice on major legislation.
It is at the present stage of legis
lation that one receives great vol-'
umes of mail. The folks back home
are letting us know what they
think about legislation. Many visit
ors call on us to give us their
views. Then we try to keep up with
matters of a more general nature
by reading reports and other
sources of information.
TUB PLUNGE
Congress is ready to tackle the '
lough and controversial bills that
you will be reading and hearing
about in the coming weeks. There
will be the gai, school, farm, social
security bills, and a long line of
equally important legislation ready
for action. As this is being prepar
ed, I am rushing to get a meeting
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee in order to hear top
Pentagon officials report on the
national defense picture,
IN FAVOR
1 believe the President's recom
mendation that Federal gasoline
tax be eliminated for non-highway
farm use will be included and
passed in the farm bill. 1 am also
very glad that we appear to have
a good chance of getting a refor
estation plan through the Congress
in the farm bill. Why do I mention
this? We must be alert to eonser
vatlou In our country, and trees
are vital to North Carplina's econ
i omy.'For example, we aw the larg
est producers of furniture, and it ?
is to our benefit to keep an avail
able supply of wood for this and
the other manifold uses of timber.
There is a long-range urgency in
. the field- of conservation. I feel
that the Congress wll Include such
views in the farm bill. There are
many aspects of proposed farm
legislation, but there is a zeal in
the Congress on both sides of the
aisle for a solution to the farm
problem. With the fire being built '
under seme of the reluctant mem
bers by continuing farm price de
clines, I- know we will get action
on that bill. Prosperity must have
a hollow sound to farmers who are
handicapped by low prices and un
satisfactory weather conditions.
