Goal of 300
New Farmers
Set by Kent ACP

A goal of 300 new" farmers
to participate in the 1862 agri-
cultural conservation program
(ACP) was announced by R.
Harry Wilson, chairman of the
Kent County ASC committee.
By new, he meant those who
| for one reason or another have
not been active with soil con-
servation work in the last three
years. There were 469 coopera-
tors in 1861 in Kent County.
Farmers may earn federal
cost-shares to establish or i'm
prove seedlings of grasses or
other cover, for prote ctio n
against erosion, and for con-
trolling water reserves, he said.
The major purpose is to demon
strate sound land use manage
ment and further, to encourage
the conservation of our natural
resources which benefits the
public.
MIR. Wilson also said that
newly elected community com
mitteemen will be trained to ex.
plain and recommend the above
conservation practices to their
neighbors. All farmers in Kent
County should have received a
listing of suggested practices in
! the mail in the last few days to-
gether with instructions as to
how they might qualify, he add
ed. The county committee feels
that this more personal ap-
proach should bear more fruit
than have previous more gen.
eral methods.
Farmers may sign as cooper
ators in the ACP at the county
office at 313 S. Governors Ave.
in Dover, or may call Lister V.
Hall, Jr., the Office manager, at
Redfield 4-3078.
The first sign up period to
qualify for federal cost-Sharing
ends January 25th.
There are a number of other
functions of the local ASC Of
flee. Basically they are farm
stabilization and conservation
programs S involving govern
mental controls. They include
the wool incentive program, the
acreage allotment program, the
wheat stabilization program, the
feed grain program, the con-
servation reserve (soil bank),
storage facility loans, price sup
port programs, commodity pur-
chases for school lunch pro-
grams, and emergency defense
functions. Farmers may par

one-ever given q guarantee
for the four-power status of
all Berlin"
After World War II, the
United States. the Soviet Un-
ion, Britain and France divided
the former German capital in
to occupation sectors. They
were to rule jointly. but this
soon broke down. The Soviet
sector became East Berlin, the
three Western sectors became
West Berlin.
The Western powers, how
ever, insist that legally the
four-power status still exists.
They point to the right of SOL
diers to move back and forth
without interference and to
continued Soviet participation
in the Berlin Air Safety Center.
Always Realistic
"Berliners have always had
a sense of realism" the West
Berlin leader said, "and they
have always been sober. They
want a four-power status, but
they expect no miracles"
BY the same token, Mayor
Brandt went on, the Russians
have no more right in West
Berlin than the West has in
East Berlin.
The United States Army has
emphasized that point by in
sisting on escorting Soviet ar
mored vehicles that enter West
Berlin. "
