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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
