Wash-ington. But observers declare that never in this section of the country has such interest been manifest as in the agricultural experiment which in one eight-hour eight-hour day transformed a 175-acre 200-year-old farm into a modern scientific agricultural unit with the most up-to-date practices of ing and building. Some 60,000 people, headed by agricultural secretary Charles F. Brannan and Maryland's governor, Preston Lane, trekked trek-ked to the old farm homestead near Fredrick. Md.. which had been in thhe Thrasher family since 1877. The picture resembled resemb-led a huge county fair with 23 concession tents dispensing 80,-000 80,-000 bottles of pop and some 50,-000 50,-000 hot dogs and other victuals. Five hundred workers, under the direction of the county agent and agricultural department ex perts, with 150 power machines moved into the place, and in eight hours had erected a huge quonset-type dairy barn and silo repaired the house and other buildings, conducted ( some 30 modern farm conservation practices prac-tices including contour plowing, reforestation of the woodea section sec-tion up the side of a fairly high mountain, the spreading of tons of lime and fertilizer, planting of a 40-acre wheat field, construction con-struction of an acre pond, and a score of other undertakings. Edward W. Davis, director of the U. S. soil conservation service, said it was the largest agricultural event ever to take place in the East. Scores of attaches att-aches from almost every foreign embassy, ministry and legation in Washington travelled the 30 miles to the farm to view the demonstration for a report to their own countries. Secretary Brannan said, "We see here a demonstration of the American peoples' awareness that the land is important and that its conservation is essential to pur continued well-being." Said Governor Lane: "The very presence of this great assemblage assembl-age of people is evidence that our citizenry in all walks of life and occupations is alive to the urgency of combating the greatest enemy attacking our natural resources, erosion of our life-sustaining soil." Th,e farm was rolling land and considerably eroded, having been worked by Mrs. Nellie V. Thrasher, a widow, and her son, for the past three years since the death of her husband. It was an ideal location for conversion con-version from the old straight row farming to contour farming. Not only did the workers change the entire contour of the farm land, they set up a saw mill in the woodland, cut fenceposts and demonstrated setting them both by machine and by hand. They demonstrated the planting of hundreds of trees by machine and by hand; they constructed several miles of farm road; they built several miles of new contour con-tour fencing; they modernized the house and existing farm buildings and constructed the new dairy barn from the ground up, a barn which will stanchion 35 cows; they instituted a drainage drain-age system; they spread 100 tons of lime and 25 tons of fertilizer; fert-ilizer; and they sowed a ton of grass seed to rebuild the permanent perma-nent pastures. Labor and materials mater-ials expended were worth approximately ap-proximately $20,000. Said Secretary Brannan: "Unless "Un-less conservation such as you have observed here today is practiced on American ffams, in another 150 years this country coun-try will be unable to feed itself it-self adequately. "Even after the conservation programs of the past 16 years, half the cropland we use is still subject to erosion in some degree. de-gree. As for our forests, the rate of saw timber drain is one and a half times the rate of growth. "We have been living off our reserves of land and forests. We did not really recognize soil erosion as a national problem which must be attacked on a national nat-ional basis until 1935. Today there are about 200 soil conservation conser-vation districts. They include about three-fourths of all the nation's farms and ranches." Thousands of feet of film from movie cameras photographed photo-graphed the agricultural magic which was perfrmed on the Thrasher farm to be shown throughout this country and in most foriegn countries.

Federal, state and local funds spent for vocational education in Utah totaled $575,000 in the 1946-47 school year with more than $1 million available during dur-ing the 1947-48 school year, according to the report. According to the study, one of the major questions relating to vocational education program is whether courses in trades and skills should continue to be deferred until after completkn of high school by the trainee, or whether such courses should be offered in lieu of the last two years of the regular high school curriculum. The report points out that vocational classes offered at the high school level are more likely to arouse the interest of youths during the years when the law requires them to remain in school anyway. any-way. Present enrollment in Utah vocational schools is made up largely of veterans who receive subsistence allowances or on-the job training pay from the Federal Fed-eral government.

With sheep and cattle numbers num-bers still on the decline, meat supplies will not increase materially mat-erially until the 1949 spring pig crop comes to market a vear from now.

The information given the senator is that Utah canners and processors of apples have nearly a two-year stock on hand, carried over from past seasons but that in the remainder of the country processors are about sold out, and are buying normally. nor-mally. Market Gone The information given by the department was confirmed by Sen. Harry Byrd, (D., VA.) whose orchards produce a mill ion bushels of apples annually, nearly double Utah output- Sen. Byrd told Sen. Watkins that the European market for apples is gone; that where he normally exported most of his corp ,he has been selling almost wholly in the domestic market since the war started. The department of agricult ure has a fund which can be used to aid growers of crops of which there is a large and established surplus, but that fund the department says can not be used to subsidize Utah apple growers while the nation al production is way below normal. If Utah has a surplus apple crop the department says it is the only locality it knows where that condition exists.
