Show ' ' h ' Pcq3 Eight FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1960 THE SALT LAKE TIMES "It does not make sense for this j country to attempt to maintain a strong sheep industry as a strategic defense weapon with the wool act, and at the same j time invite its ruin in the form j of imports of sheep, lamb, and mutton," Sen. Moss said. Demo Senator Cites Mutton Import Hike The "alarming increase" in lamb and mutton imports must be curbed if the domestic sheep industry is to avoid further de-pression, Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah told the U. S. Tariff Commission recently. He urged the Commissoin to officially rec-ommend action by the President. Pointing out that imports to-day are 44 times what they were . four yaers ago, he said: "Further dramatic increases are in prospect if we do not take ' adequate steps to fully protect our domestic producers. "The gravity of this situation, and its impact on the economy of Utah cannot be overempha-sized. Sheep, lambs and wool to-gether provide my state's third highest agricultural commodity cash income. Some 10,000 people in Utah are directly dependent upon the sheep industry for a livelihood." Senator Moss noted that the number of sheep in America de-clined from some 56 million in World War II to less than 31 million in 1957. He said that, be-cause the industry is recognized as basic to the welfare and se-curity of the nation, several measures have been taken to ate it. "Major assistance was given through passage of the National Wool Act of 1954, which estab-lished the incentive payment plan. These payments undoubt-edly cushioned many operations i which might otherwise have gone under, and the number of sheep has moved upwards to a total of 33,621,000." "Now has come the new threat to the meat side of the industry," he said. He presented figures to show the rapid increase in sheep ranch costs, the depression in lamb prices, and the heavy investment of Utah operators in breeding sheep. Gov. George D. Clyde Announces Intent To Seek Reelection Gov. George D. Clyde this week has anounced he would seek reelection on the Republi-can ticket. The governor, who first was elected four years ago, made his announcement at the Republican state organization convention last Saturday. In his announcement the gover-nor said he wished to be returned to the state's top office to com-plete the program he started on taking office. He said he would stand on his record and pledged to continue "government within the frame-work of established law" if re- - Sen. Moss Requests More Money for Water Conservation Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah Monday joined nine of his Sen-ate coleagues from the west in asking the subcommittee on agri-cultural appropriations to rec-ommend $1 million per year for three years for pre-constructi-on and design work for soil and water conservation research. Senator Moss said: "There is general agreemenl that our watersheds are wasting away, and that a stepped up pro-gram of research is needed to improve techniques of water-shed management and restora-tion. "Numerous bills are before Congress calling for the estab-lishment of research laborato-ries in several states. Utah of-fers many advantages for estab-lishment of such a laboratory location, trained personnel with a broad background in the sub-ject, a long history of interest in conservation, and many others. I shall continue to work to have a laboratory established in Utah. "The conflicting claims, how-ever, are stalling the program. It will take several years to com-plete the design and pre-constructi-on work. It is essential that appropriations for this pur- - pose be made without further delay." In a letter to Senator Richard B. Russell, chairman of the sub-committee, the ten Senators have called attention to a report on soil and water conservation re-search by a group appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. The letter said in part: "As is shown in the report, a considerable expansion of the physical facilities is essential for the research program. "Improvement of research in-stallations that are now operat-ing with inadequate facilities re-ceives priority in the present program, and we are in accord with this in a sound procedure. However, equally critical re-search needs not served by those facilities are thereby deferred to distant years with great injury to the farmers and ranchers in arid and drought stricken areas. "We urgently recommend that an immediate start be made in bringing forward the entire re-search facility construction pro-gram. In addition to Senator Moss the letter was signed by the follow-ing: Senators Engle and Kuchel of California, Church and Dwor-sha- k of Idaho, Carroll and Allott of Colorado, Mansfield and Mur-ray of Montana, and Kerr, Okla-homa.

Mountain States Telephone" May 22 Date Chosen For Hatchery Tour The date of May 22 has been set for the annual hatchery tour sponsored jointly by the Salt Lake County Fish and Game As-sociation and Utah Department of Fish and Game. Visits are scheduled to three of the state's hatcheries. The tour will begin at 8 a.m. with an inspection of the Scott Ave. hatchery in Salt Lake City, pro-ceed from there to the Midway plant and terminate during the early afternoon at the Spring-vill- e Hatchery. The sponsoring sportsmen will serve free refresh-ments to all who make the tour. Popularity of this public out-ing has increased during each of the past several years. It serves as an opportunity for the grownups and youngsters alike to enjoy an interesting and edu-cational day together as they are guided through the hatchery when these facilities are near peak production. |
