Approp riations of The House of Re presentatives has recommen ded that the 1966 program authorlzeation for the ACP bu restored, to the regular level of $250 million, The-fel- E-r.. excerpts were taken from the committee’s report; ‘ln tlve opinion of the ma jority of the rqcmbe-s of the Committee, the funds expen ..d through this program turn to the Nation the great est possible conservation benefits. Further, this pro gram provides the best possi ble means of meeting local conservation needs in all ar eas of the country. It is far more effective than many other app caches adopted in recent years. “Conservation practices un der this program are develop ed initially at the local level by ABC State and county committees, the Soil Conser vation. Service, and the Fed eral Forest Service. Repre sentatives of the land-grant colleges, the Farmers Home Administration, State conser vation committees, and other State and Federal agricultur al agencies also parit'.cipate in these determinations “The recommendations of these groups are used as the basis to formulate joint re commendations to the ASC in wild speeds-—with smooth intent and no sign of sway.” Motor Trend “Not counting the Corvette, Corvair has the closest thing to performance han dling characteristics you’ll find on this side of the ocean, with no sacrifice in ride qualities.” Washington. From these re commendations, the various agencies of the Department in Washington develop and re commend to the iSecreta y of Agriculture a .national pro gram. State and local people then develop their local pro grams within the- structure of the rikgtiorsal program ap proved the Secretary. No practices are' adopted and put into effect in any State or county unless approved by the local censer vat ion groups.” "It was mentioned earlier under the Soil Conservation Service portion of this report that the most serious threat to that agency and the Na tion's soil and water conserva tiou program was the budget proposal to drastically reduce this vital cost-sharing \pro gram, which is the bafcis for a large part of the soil con servation practices actually put on the land. It was point ed out that the proposed re duction of $100,000,000 in next years Agricultural Conserva tion Program would reduce funds available to the Soil • Conservation Service for tech nical assistance by about $3 5 million, would reduce the number of technicians by 530, and would eliminate or cur tail over one-third of the conservation measures app.ied to the soU through the vari ous watched and district programs.” n.

THE NO. 1 WAY THE YANCEY RECORD ' GARDEN TIME by M. E. GARDNER N. C. State University at Raleigh How much do you really know about the chemical dusts arid sprays used to yoa trol the many pests wibe-h attack.,.''ruits, vegetable, orna ment and field crops? You have been advised many times to STOP-READ THE LABEL 0 before, using vhese chemical controls. Do you understand what you read? Apparently many do not. A vjery interesting report comes from the Unive~slty of Wisconsin along this line. It was conducted by two agricul tural journalists, Glenn Fred erick and Richard Powers. They divided the people-to be interviewed into three groups —• housewives, stud ents and farmers. They asked these groups if they under stood certain words found on 48 labels of common insecti cides used on the farm and a ound the home. The agricultural students were tested on their under standing of 29 terms.. Eight of the 29 words are not under stood by 40 per the students. The farmers were tested on 25 words and 5 were i ihissed by 40 per cent or more of the group. The housewives did best. They were tested on 23 terms a d only one word was miss ed by 40 per cent or more of their group. While there is much room for misrepresentation in a test such as this, it does em phasize the importance of having complete instructions on the container so that all chemicals may be used effec tively and safely. These are some of the terms commonly used: pesti cide, insecticide, fungicide, herbicide. Wettable powder (WP), emulsifier, emulsifiable - con centrate <EC ), contact poi son, systemic pmson, fumi gant, residue and antidote. Larvae, nymph, pre-emer gence. aerosol, agitate., dor mant, j drift and defoliant. Now, test yourself by defin ing as many terms as you can. Next week I will define them for you and you can find out how well Informed youjipe. The more we know about the proper use of chemicals to control plant pests, the less likely we are to injure plants when applying or to become victims hf'their care less use. file as soon as possible. Vet erans who establish sevice connection for injury, sickness or disease brought about by the above period of service will have a better chance to obtain the new insurance, whether the conditiow—te* dis abling or not. Therefore,, no matter haw small or insignifi cant one may think the condi tion is, it may be determined to have resulted from se-vice and could possibly qualify for new insurance. • 7 FOR THAT~ RAINY DAY...
