Changes Affect
ASC Committees

SECRETARY OF Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson announced several impor-
tant changes in regulations governing
the election, qualifications and duties of
County and Community Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation Commit
teemen.
Major changes would:
1. Create county and community
election boards which would conduct
the annual elections of committeeman.
2 Limit to three the number of con-
secutive terms farmer may serve as
a county or community committeeman,
except that where all three members
of the county committee have already
served three consecutive terms one
member shall be eligible for election
to one additional term.
5. Prohibit officials of general farm
organizations from serving as members
of county ASC committees.
4. Prohibit county committeeman
from acting: (a) as sales agents or en-
ployeS of the Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation; (b) marketing quota re-
view, committeeman, and (c) as en-
ployes of their own county offices.

The Steam Locomotive
By JESSE GREEN

seem impossible. How could such a
massive, rigid boiler carrying two
hundred fifty pounds pressure roll
over the road with all its other
equipment and keep its seams tight.
They have had their day, and a
few will stay while longer, but
new ones are not being made. The
big ones cost $500, 900 and weigh $40
tons. When you stand beside one,
it must be realized that sooner or
later it is going back into the melt
ing pot from whence it came. All
the man hours that it took to fashion
the boiler plates, mold the castings
and turn the pistons will be lost. The
value will drop to the price of scrap,
or say thirty fold. But such is the
price of progress.
Each engine has its own history.
1t takes only a little imagination to
think of the great machine as a Gv-
ing thing with a personality. 1t has
breathed hard to make the grades.
1t kept hot through the worst biz
yards. 1t made its way around the
curves on the darkest nights; or
when the sun rose on day in
spring, it left a cloud of smoke for
ten miles across the prairie.
When the steam locomotive is
gone, little boys will never know
what they have missed. They will
have to look to other machines, some
of them in the sky, to get their
thrills.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-07-01

Other revisions in the regulations pro-
vide for the removal of county and
community committeeman, county Of
flee employees, and election board menu
bers only by a majority vote of the
State ASC committee. A majority vote
was not required under previous
regulations.
Provision is also made for the right
of appeal by ousted committeeman or
election board members to the State
ASC committee and to the Deputy ADJ
miniStrator for Production Adjustment,
Commodity Sterilization Service. Here.
tofore, appeals beyond the State com.
mittee were not provided by regulation.
''These changes are the outgrowth Of
a years study of the entire SYSTEM
Secretary Benson said. ''They repre-
sent the combined thinking of farmers
themselves, state and county commit
teemen and administrators within the
department who have been closest to
the problem"
''The revised regulation is designat-
ed to strengthen farmer control of local
program administration, to stimulate
more extensive farmer participation in
community elections and to encourage
more farmers to serve as community
and county committeeman"

The Passing of

WE HAVE SEEN the horse pass
from the picture, and now the steam
locomotive is on its way out. 1t
seems a little sad when we realize
the story that has been so close.
Future generations will never hear
the whistle and the puff of the steam
locomotive.
1t is fabulous story-first in the
discoveries that were necessary to
harness steam, then to build the ma
chine, to build the tracks, bridges
and tunnels and to finance the plan
on the gigantic scale necessary to
develop new territory. We never
quite realize what factor the steam
locomotive has been in all our lives,
how it followed the horse in bringing
our forefathers into the West, and
how it was the means of transport
ing goods that made our modern
civilization possible.
To go back to the machine itself,
we must realize that most of the
ingenuity of man has been used in
its development, the mining and
preparation of the metals, the inven-
tive genius that made the final en-
CINE.
Now that we have such iron mon
sters as the Mallets, we find them
being replaced by the diesel cleo
tries. They were like the dinosaur;
they became too big for their own
good. To the average man they
