' M PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAYMAY 30, 1957 Strom; lurmond RLE SMALL FARMERS PROTECTED FROM RED TAPE During the past week in the Senate Commerce Committee, I was successful in securing an in definite postponement of a bill which would have wrapped red tap around small farmers operat ing their trucks across State lines even once a year. This bill was S. 1490 and had it been approved and then pass ed by the Senate and House, it would have required every truck er to register with the Interstate Commerce Commission and to comply with complicated regula tions of th'e IOC. Since many farmers, hauling their, own prod ucts, find it necessary to cross State lines, I started opposing the bill in the Committee as soon as it came up about a month ago. ICC POLICE CONTROL KILLED In effect, had the bill passed, it would have given the ICC po lice control over farmers in their trucking activities, even though they were handling their v own goods in small trucks—in now way to be considered commercial truck ing. The question of safety on the highways is one which our own State Highway Department and the highway departments of other States are completely capable "of enforcing. They do not need the help of a Federal Agency to po lice the roads. FEARED FUTURE EFFECTS When these facts were made clear to members of the Com mittee, I was able to secure more than half the members to support my opposition to the bill when I explained the red tape. Once the' farmers had been forced to register, I fear that future ef forts would have been made to bring about complete economic control through licensing and levying of fees for licenses. Also, the harrassment of filling out and filing forms with the ICC every year, which the big trucking companies are required to do, would have greatly complicated small farming activities. Sfhce the bill has been indefinit ely postponed, I do not expect it to be taken up again this year. BUDGET CONTINUING PROBLEM As this session of Congress moves along, the continuing chief topic of consideration and conver sation is the size of the proposed budget. Perhaps the budget is generally a dry subject to you. The reason I have been discussing it is that I believe you should know what is happening to your tax dollars. Sometimes the actual expendi tures for a budget year—from July 1 of one year through June 30 of the next—are far greater than the total appropriations ap proved by the Congress for that particular year. DEFICIENCY BILLS ADD TO BUDGET This comes about as a result of several situations, two of which I want to point out. First, is the matter of deficiency or supple mental appropriations bills. These are bills which each year provide certain departments with addi tional funds to spend that same fiscal year above the amount originally appropriated in the pre ceding session of Congress. For example, let’s consider de ficiency and supplemental appro priations approved at the session of the Congress held last year. In 1955 Congress had appropriat ed about $64.5 billion for 1956. But when the 1956 session of Congress met, deficiency and supplemental appropriations were requested by the departments, and Congress appropriated an ad ditional $857,414,000 for use in fiscal 1956. This, in effect, in creased the total appropriations for 1956. Thus, the appropriation made for each year of the Federal Gov ernment is not final until all the dificiency and supplemental ap propriations bills are counted in the total. $5 BILLION IN DEFICIENCIES FOR 1956 Budget requests in 1956 total ed $73.3 billion. Total appropria tions were slightly less than that amount but nearly $5 billion of the $73 billion was for deficiency and supplemental appropriations to be used before July 1 of last year—actually in the budget year of 1956.

Cooper Mount Pilgrim Community, Mrs. Luther Hawkins FRIDAY, MAY 31 Oakland School Boundary Street School Prosperity Public Square Stoney Hill School Already in this session of Con gress, the Senate has considered and approved five deficiency and supplemental appropriations bills. The funds approved in these bills total more than half a billion dol lars in money which should be charged against the 1957 budget and added to the total appropria tions for 1957 which were approv ed last year by Congress. In as far as possible, I believe deficiency and supplemental ap propriations bills should be elim inated. Deficiency and supple mental funds should be limited to real emergencies or the occur rence of uncontrollable situations. I intend to do all I can to bring about some readjustments of this present method of appropriating additional funds for so-c? lied defi ciencies when they often are simply expansions or extensions of departmental activities. CARRY-OVER SPENDING GREAT A second budget matter which concerns me greatly is th^ fact that certain funds appropriated during any given fiscal year are permitted to be carried over for use in future years. Although we are complaining about the size of the $71.8 billion budget proposed for 1958, that amount is only about one-half of the total expenditures the Feder al Government will make during the year beginning July 1. Funds carried over from prior years, which will be spent in 1958, now total more than the 1958 budget itself. ACTUAL SPENDING IN 1958 NEAR $143 BILLION More than $143 billion will be spent if the proposed budget is added to the furids available from prior years. Highway trust fund appropriations and balances might raise the total above $150 billion. I have already voted to reduce the budget requests this year by nearly half a billion dollars in the regular appropriations bills which have been considered in the Senate. Before the year is out, I hope we can trim bjllions more and make a start toward better regulation of the matters I have discussed. Farmers Like Conservation Practices By C. E,. METTS, Conservation Aid, SCS W. R. Suber of Silverstreet has recently built a five acre pond for irrigation. He received ACP cost sharing and the pond was design ed by the Soil Conservation Serv ice. He has two other irrigation ponds built a few years ago. He has his own irrigation system for use in irrigating corn and grazing. Besides storing water in these three ponds he is maftaging and conserving water in other ways. He recently built 12,000 feet of terraces to make the water walk off the land instead of running off. This causes more to soak into the soil. Storing water in the soil is the first line of defense against soil and water losses is the experience of Mr. Suber and the other farmers cooperating with the Newberry Soil Conserva tion District. Realizing, however, that all of the water can*t be stored in the soil, he built the ponds to • keep an additional amount of water on his farm to be returned to the soil through irrigation when needed. He operates a dairy and sells grade A milk. Like any good dairyman, he knows that good grazing is essential for profitable milk production. He knows too that water is necessary if he is to have good grazing when he needs it. OUTBOARD MOTOR REPAIR and FIX-IT-SHOP We Repair Anything Frank Lominack’s 'Hardware : 1403 Main St. By W. F. SMITH, Conservation Aid, SCS M. O. Mayer believes in sericea. As a cooperator with the New berry Soil Conservation District, he planted 150 acres in 1956 on his farm on the Winnsboro Road. This spring he is planting 90 acres more with cost-sharing assistance from ACP. H. D. AGENT SCHEDULE The County Home Agents, Mrs. Margaret R. Colemari and Mrs. Margie D.

He grazes 200 cows on his se ricea in early spring and during the summer in rotation with other pastures. He also cuts hay and harvests seed. As provided for in his soil and water conservation plan, which he prepared with the help of Soil Conservation Service technicians, he has found this plant to be very effective for ero sion control and soil rebuilding. Mr. Mayer has built two ponds for stock watering and irrigation of grazing but he doesn’t plan to irrigate sericea. Recent USD A re search at Clemson by the Agricul tural Research Service indicates that sericea is a drouth resistant plant which does not profitably respond to irrigation. (By ‘W. F. SMITH( Conservation Aid, SCS) The perennial sericea strips al ternating with clean cultivated strips on the farm of T. O. Stew art near Newberry look like “Old Glory” blowing .in the breeze. In looking at this field and being re minded of our American flag I couldn’t help but think that “Con servation Farming” is a patriotic thing. It is saving soil, water, for ests, and wildlife for this and fu ture generations and is as much a part of our defense program as tanks, planes, guns, and atomic bombs. These strips were laid out for Mr. Stewart by Soil Conservation Service technicians assisting the Newberry Soil Conservation Dist rict. .The strips of sericea are lo cated on the contour and are 20 to 30 feet wide. They are being used instead of terraces. Following a recent heavy rain of four inches in nine hours, Mr. Stewart said, “The soil did not wash in the fields where this pat tern of farming was being follow ed. Where there were no sericea strips, gullies were started.” Farmers interested in protect ing their crop land could well af ford to ride by this farm and take a look at these perennial strips and discuss their use and effect iveness with Mr. Stewart. He harvests hay from the seri cea for his dairy cows. Does he like this system? He must. Similar strips are being laid out this season in other fields he cultivates. (By C. E. METTS, Conservation Aid, SCS) James A. Brown, who operates a dairy farm in the Long Lane $ection of the Newberry Soil Con servation District, has just com- « eted his second pond. He built e first one in 1955 and has plans £ build another pond in the near ture so he can catch all the wat er that now runs off his farm. t These ponds are part of the soil $nd water conservation plan for the farm which he prepared with the help (£ SCS technicians. The plan also includes complete ground cover to protect the soil and pro duce hay, pasture, and grain. He is milking 17 cows and sell ing to Pet. He also has several dry cows. Feed for his entire herd is produced on the farm. When he bought the farm it was in a run-down condition. With financial help from the Farmers Home Administration, he has been able to restore the farm by ap plying sound soil and water con servation practices.
