FARM PLAN
SAYS
BL AC KBURN
Retains All Benefits
Of Old AAA, He
Declares

Retaining all benefits for
agriculture gained under the
outlawed AAA, the new soil
conservation program still
will be able to withstand
court tests. r. w. Blackburn, pres
ident of the California Farm Blu
reau federation declared Saturday.
Benefit payments to farmers UNI
der the AAA would have declined
anyway, Blackburn said as the par
ity program was gradually being
reached, when payments would not
continue.
THE gains we have made will
be conserved and the new program
will meet the needs of agriculture
and will be left up to the states
and counties to control so that 1t
con be applied to local conditions
Blackburn was highly enthusi-
astic over the new program which
as director of the National Farm
Bureau federation, he was inStru-
mental in framing.
Meets Court Objections
In his opllnon the new law meets
the chief objections voiced by the
supreme court.
Furthermore, the new program
will embrace more fields of agri-
culture. Under the old program
only those farmers could receive
benefits who were engaged in the
projects listed in the AAA.
The new program embodies five
main points: preservation and i'm
provement of soil fertility; promo
ton of the economic use and con-
servation of land: diminution of ex-
ploitation and wasteful and I'M
scientific use of national soil re-
sources; protection of rivers and
harborS against soil erosion; flood
control, establishment of the
ratio between the purchasing power
of the net income per person on
the farm and that of the person
not on the farm as prevailed in
the period 1909-19l4
Overriding Benefits
Farmers may be proud of the
progress of the program for 1t is
their own Blackburn said. They
may be proud of the fact that when
their original program was over
turned by the supreme court. agri-

Problems of juvenile de-

a program of crime preven-

long sessions in Ell Centre Satur-
day.
Meetings were held in the court
house, with Charles E. Nice, indi-
gent commissioner presiding. A
luncheon session was held at the
Barbara Worth hotel
Mrs. Florence f. Turner, director
for the state department of social
welfare, was the opening sneaker,
discussing the aim of the depart
ment and stating that she would
rather build up strong county well
fare units than to devote her eff
forts to state organization. She
pointed out that while few parents
are abandoning their children,
many children in California are
abandoning their parents to the
care of the state.

for the state department of social
welfare, outlined in detail Cali

At the luncheon session, j. K.

agencies lies the secret of crime
prevention. More than half of the

courts could be prevented by modern
methods, he declared.

THREE MORE CCC
UNITS AT GLACIER
ADDITIONAL COMPANIES FROM
EAST TO BE STATIONED IN
PARK THIS YEAR
Greatest Disappointment of Boys in
Units Is the Fact That the Great
Majority of People Appear in Cloth
ing Other Than Chaps.

During the period between May
Is and June l it is expected that
three additional CCC companies
will arrive in Glacier national park.
Official advices received recently
indicate that those will come from
eastern states, probably New York.
Since the start of the emergency
conservation work in 1893, apprcxl-
mately $500 eastern youngsters
between the ages of 10 and rs have
had the opportunity of spending
the summer at work in Glacier
park.
That the boys are impressed by thu
wonders of the west is indicated b!
one of the favorite stories told by parl
officials. A boy from Brooklyn landed
in a camp near the foot of a grea'
mountain which rose abruptly 3.OO(
feet, just behind the barracks. Writing
home to the folks he remarked, "Oul
camp is located only three blocks from
the Rocky mountains"
Probably the greatest disappointment
to them is the fact that the great ma.
jority of people appear in clothing
other than chaps, spurs and 10-gallor
hats. Although they see both cowboy:
and Indians in the park, they are
hardly wild enough to suit preconceivec
ideas.
Another story relates to the arriva,
Of a trainload of enrollees at Bolton
western entrance to the park. Leaving
the train they rushed a lone ham
burger stand located near the depot
Soon the proprietor was sold out.
One of the boys rushed up and said
Gimme a hamboiger."
Sorry" said the waiter, I'VE have
none"
What! No hamboiger! And I thought
Montana was a % country" remarked
the prospective customer as he turned
away in complete disgust.
