the most important time of the
year in Japan. Every home must
be cleaned this week, all old or
worn items replaced. In every

This is a special rice cake that
is eaten on New Years day and
then for several days after. New
Years lasts quite a while here,

Omochi is made from a special
rice which is boiled and then
beat into a paste After this dries
it is sliced into little cakes.

paste. Some of the very special
cakes have a little bean paste
inside the rice paste. In one

today. | won't try and tell you
what it taste like. 1t is the Jap
aneSe custom not only to eat
these on New Years but also to
place one in each room of the
house. The people don't seem to
know just why. AS an offering
to some pagan god, food for the
dead of the family that are sup
posed to come home on New
Years or just for good luck. We
have heard all these and more
reasons. It is rather like asking

WATERSHED LAW SIGNED


Farmers and soil conservation
districts can claim a major victory
in winning final approval on Capt.
tOl Hill and at the White House
for amendments to the small wa
tershed law. The legislation to ex-
pand and speed up watershed work
was in serious danger of being
chOked off at least a half-dOzen
times.
The Budget Bureau argued that Pres
ident Eisenhower should kill the bill
So did the Army engineers. The USDA,
after some hesitation, asked the Presi-
dent to sign.
He finally did The following amend
ments to the watershed law are almost
exactly in line with farmer and dis
trict recommendations:
1. Works of improvements now may
include such purposes as city and in
dustrial water supplies and stream
flow regulation-as well as agricultural
detectives.
2. Capacity of single structure now
may be $4,000 acre-feet, although 5000
acre-feet will be the limit on a single
structure for the purpose of flood pre-
vention.
5. Review by Congress and by gov
eminent agencies other than USDA
will not now be required in the case
of watershed projects of modest size
meaning those that cost $3.50, 1000 or less,
and whose structures are all limited to
$500 acre-feet capacity or less.
4. For structures larger than the
above, federal agencies have 80 days
to review work plans, instead of 60 as
before. The plans must be approved
by resolutions of the Agriculture Com
mittees of both Senate and House, or
by the Public Works committees of
both houses if any structure of more
than 1900 acre-feet capacity is involved.
5. The federal government now will
bear the entire construction cost of
works that apply to flood prevention
and related features This provision has
been described by Eisenhower as "a
step backwards"
6. Local groups must pay all the cost
of installing works of improvement
other than those for flood prevention
and agricultural water management.
7. Loans now may be obtained by
local organizations from the USDA to
help finance their share of costs-up
to S. million for SO years.
8. Local groups have the option of
hiring outside engineers or using the
technical services of the SCS in projects
for flood prevention or agricultural wa
ter management.
9. When projects include works of
Improvement for municipal or industrial
water supplies, local groups will be re-
quired to employ nonfederal engineers
to do the construction work
All changes in the act apply to wa
tershed projects approved to date as
well as those authorized in the future.
