Streamline USDA!

The commission recommended the
establishment of one state council
in each state and one county
ell in each agricultural county to
replace all federal farm committees
and boards. AS for states, the COM
mission recommends that farm pro-
grams be administered through Of
fees based on states as units.
AS for conservation payments, the
commission recommends they should
be restricted to those which will
bring about adoption Of complete
and balanced conservation programs
on farms.
sHThey should not be used as in
come supplements in disguise" the
commission said. when the conser-
walton plan on any farm has been
completed, such payments to the
owner should stop"
The commission also recommends
that adjustment programs should be
operated on a standby" rather than
a continuous basis.
It further recommends that Is
toms receipts-so-called section 80
funds-now allotted directly to the
USDA be paid direct into the treas
ury and that direct annual appro-
priations be made by congress for
specific purposes.
The commission also proposes that
all land management activities of
the government, such as soil con-
servation, range, forest and allied
services now split between the
USDA and the department of in
terror, be grouped together in the
department of agriculture.

lined organization with the present
20 far : flung offices compactly
grouped into eight specific service
agencies is the Hoover commissions
recommendation for reorganization
of the u. S. department of agricul-
ture.
The commission recommends
thai greater emphasis be placed
on functional organization of the
department and a better group
of activities related to the same
major purpose.
1.-THE purpose is to secure more
concentration in the responsibility
of direction, elimination of overlap,
conflict and waste, and further, to
make possible the realization OF
broad policies in the department"
the commissions report said.
eThe commission believes this
structure is sufficiently flexible to
permit programs and activities to be
added or dropped without requiring
major reorganization.
"At the same time, with such an
organization, the of the
entire department can readily and
effectively be brought to bear on
any problem"
The proposed departmental struc-
ture under the Hoover commission
recommendations would include Cd
staff services; (2) research service;
~ extension service; az agricul-
turaI conservation serv-
ices; 90 commodity adjustment serv-
ice; CO. regulatory service; Cd agri-
cultural credit service, and (8)
rural identification.
Two new positions of assistant
secretaries would be provided, one
of whom would be administrative
assistant who would have charge of
staff services and would, if possible,
be selected from the areer service.
Staff services would include budg-
citing, accounting, personnel, publ
cations and the like.
Basic scientific, economic and
social research activities would be
brought into a research service,
such as agricultural economics.
Major federal educational and
joint federal-state educational, DEM
onstrational and international ac-
tivities would be brought into the
newly constituted extension service
Under agricultural resources con.
s~ervation would be all major soil
range and forest conservation agen
cies.
The commodity adjustment serv
ice would bring together all majo
agencies having to do with formula
ton of plans and control of pro
duction, together with price support
and ALLEGATION of quotas.
All regulatory agencies would b
brought into a central regulator
service.

HUGE STORAGE PROGRAMS

too many restrictions on USDA's
huge construction program. the
government may build a chain
of storage bins TO care for ESQ.,
o0o.0 600 TO $50. o00. 600 bushels of
surplus grains during the COM
ing spring and summer.
This would be only a part of the
program under which farmers, farm
er co-operatives, the private grain
trade and commercial storage con-
Germs would be encouraged to build
additional facilities.
USDA officials estimate there is a
need for an increase of at least
1000, 900, 1000 bushels in the country's
grain storage capacity.
Under the departments plan, the
government would limit its storage
bin construction to the capacity X
pected to be needed for livestock
feed grains which will become its
property under the price support
program.
The government prefers 70 put its
grain in bins which would be 10
Gated close to the livestock feeding
centers, rather than at major grain
terminals. By locating grain close
TO the farm, the government would
have it readily available for resale
to farmers in event of q future
shortage of feed.

H. E. Bates seems at his best in
the short story, though he has
written novels, some of them quite
effective. There are few conteri1-
porary short-story writer's, per-
haps none, who can see through
situations with more subtle per-
ception. @
Dear Life" the length of a
short novel. Is more nearly q long
short story in approach and de-
velopment. This story deals with
some unusual, not to say strange,
characters. It begins quietly, in a
drab area Of q midland city of
England couple Of years after
the war and accelerates slowly in
pace until in the last so pages, it
moves at breathless suspense
through an atmosphere Of terror.
It is, in retrospect, as grisly as
any tale you're likely to find out

you'd never guess it, as you begin
the adventures Of Laura, which
promise nothing beyond the ordi-
nary happenings of a dull neigh
