Grange Master Believes
.167* Payments Necessary
The proposed one-third reduc
tion in appropriation for the 194»
agricultural conservation program
is viewed with concern by Morton
Tompkins, Master of the Oregon
state grange, who believes that
practice payments are necessary
to obtain the needed amount of
soil conservation. In a letter to
the state
PM A committee, Mr
Tompkins declared:
" I have noted with very much
concern
the newspaper reports
that congressional appropriation
for soil conservation, which vit
ally affects soil conservation prac
tices in the State of Oregon is
to be cut by one-third.
“ I am fearful that this naturally
will involve the cut of soil con
servation
practice
payments,
which I feel are very important
to promote and encourage farm
operations
to practice soil con
servation. I realize that there may
be a few
who would carry on
these practices without it, but I
am convinced as an over-all that
practice payments whl be neces
sary to get results.
“ I am especially concerned over
any movement that tends to dis
courage soil conservation, which
is so vital to the future of the
nation.”
