mittees throughout the country
are pessimistic over the reduce
ton Of approximately Sc million
dollars in payments to farmers
from the soil conservation serv-
Ice for 1913 as compared to
1947. The reduced appropria-
tons made by congress not only
will cut payments to farmers
but also win cause the lay-off Of
some LOO employees in the soil
conservation service.
So at time when the farmer and
the soil conservationist should be
thinking and practicing more soil
conservation the agriculture depart
ment must necessarily retrench be-
cause of the sapping of the program
by congress.
