’58 AGP PROGRAM
INCREASED 20%; TO
AID AREA FARMERS
The 1958 Agricultural Conser
vation Program (ACP) for Alas
ka was approved on September
20, Philip R. Johnson, chairman
of 'the Alaska ASC (Agricultur
al Stabilization and Conserva
tion) Committee announced. Un
der the ACP the Federal Govern
ment shares with Alaska farm
ers the cost of carrying out con
servation practices on their
farms.
Johnson announced the 1958
program will be about 20 per cent
larger than the 1957 program
which is still in progress. This
enlargement is due to more funds
being made available for the ’58
program. Program funds for
1958 will be $54,000 contrasted
with $44,000 for 1957.
While the 1958 ACP has been
approved, Johnson emphasized
that the program is not yet open
to the farmers. The Alaska pro
gram is a broad one, designed to
meet the needs of the whole Ter
ritory. The Territory is broken
down into three “counties” bas
ed on Fairbanks, Palmer, and
Homer. In each county an ACP
Development Group, composed
of the recently elected county
ASC committees and other agri
cultural agencies and groups de
velop more restrictive county
programs within the Alaska pro
gram to provide the program
with direction in the county.
These county programs must be.
approved by the Alaska ACP
Development Group (heads of
ASC,,the Soil Conservation Ser
vice, and Forest Service in Al
aska) before they can be opened
to the farmers. Since the program
is delayed this year, the ACP
Development Group is arranging
to approve limited county pro
grams for this fall by mail and
they will require the formal
1958 county programs later.
They hope to open up the pro
Health Commissioner
Announces Retirement
Dr. Charles R. Hayman acting
commissioner of health, announc
ed this week he has advised
members of the Alaska Board of
Health that he intends to re
sign on or about December 30,

V. Gibson, deputy commissioner
of health since (May 1956, is ex

commissioner.
gram to farmers approximately
one month earlier by this proce
dure.
Johnson pointed out that
while the 1958 program is not
yet open, the 1957 program is
still open and farmers interest
ed in the program can contact
their local ASlC committees at
any time. County ASC offices are
in the Agricultural Extension
Offices in Fairbanks, Palmer,
and Homer.
“Our most urgent conservation
problem at this time is the severe
winterkill of permanent grass in
the Palmer area last winter,”
Johnson stated. ACP has provid
ed considerable assistance to
farmers of the are-a in putting
their fields into permanent grass
to help solve the wind erosion
problem in the area. ‘‘We felt we
were making a substantial con
tribution with the seeding pro
gram”, Johnson added. “We
helped seed over 1200 acres in
the past three years. However,
the most severe winterkill in the
history of the Valley destroyed a
considerable portion of the grass
planted in the area. We will ori
ent our 1958 program to provide
such additional assistance as we
can to increase grass seeding in
the Valley” he said. Johnson ad
ded that it may be possible to
obtain some additional emergen
cy conservation funds to help
with this problem.

Wouldn't Yob
Pilate asked, perhaps with a
cynical and wearied indifference,
“What is Truth?” Multitudes are
like him in the conviction, the
prejudice, that to this query there
is no reply. Yet there are times
when the most hopeless sceptic
longs for truth. And especially
are we constrained to desire truth
regarding our own nature, truth
regarding the character and pur
poses of God, truth regarding the
Divine purpose in our being and
our life, truth relating to eterni
tv. Jesus Christ offers that which
our limited and unaided experi
ence cannot acquire—THE TRU
TH. This truth, as exemplified
in Jesus Christ with all its spirit
ual beauty and law of infinite
righteousness alone can satisfy
the craving nature of man.
There was but one way in
which man could learn God, and
that was by God becoming man.
“The Word became flesh.” We
learn Divine truth in the minis
try, the life, of God’s Son. The
truth as to God’s character we
read in the deeds of Jesus, so
gentle, yet so grand and God-like.
God’s purposes of love we learn
from Christ’s sacrifice, from
Christ’s cross. The truth concern
ing our salvation we know when
we witness Christ’s victory over
sin and death. Jesus Christ is the
touch stone by which all spiritual
truth is tested. The most practi
cal idealism of truth is to be
found in Jesus. There is no other
way in which truth can be grasp
and held by the finite, created
nature. When you know Him
who is the TRUTH; then, and
then only, will you know the
truth itself. Truth sets the soul
free. Truth purifies the souh
Truth clears the mind. Truth
satisfies the conscience. Truth
brings us into right relationship
with God, depending upon our
acceptance and receptiveness.
Wouldn’t you accept and receive?
