I tend the weeds by working

Up and down, these many rows
Up and down with my old push

For 19 years, I’ve pushed this hoe
For 19 years, pushed one push

First the Governor, then four

Came to my farm, to take up
time
Shake the Governor, chase the

Governor Mike and Dr. Mick
Stopped for a talk and a brief
look-see
The plant lice now are sprouting
wings
Maybe there still is hope for
me.
Governors come and governors go
Calves still sneak through an
open gate
While I still push up row on row,
Man with the hoe! It is fny Fate.
When the soft rains fall, my rest
is sweet
Glad my eyes when green
things grow
Patiently I tend the weeds
Up and down, with my old

PIPPEL INS. AGENCY
INDUSTRIAL USE
OF AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTS STUDIED
The need for a dynamic and im
aginative approach to farm-pro
duct utilization as a way of solv
ing problems of farm surplus is
emphasized throughout the final
report to Congress made June 15
by the President’s Commission
on Increased Industrial Use of
Agricultural Products.
The 250-page report completes
the work of the five-man bipar
tisan commission directed by the
84th Congress to make recom
mendations for a long-range pro
gram to widen the industrial use
of farm products—particularly
those in surplus.
To carry out this assignment,
Chairman J. Leroy Welsh of
Omaha, Nebr., , and commission
members received help from al
most 200 of the country’s top
leaders in agriculture, industry,
and science. Executive, director
of the commission is Wheeler Mc
Millen Philadelphia. McMillen
; commented that the group com
pleted its job in its allotted time,
less than 10 months, and will re
turn to the U. S. Treasury about
$20,000 of the $150,000 Congress
appropriated for the study.
The group set out to find an-'
swers to the question: c-an in
dustrial markets absorb enough
excess farm production to minim
ize, or possibly even eliminate,
costty restrictions, supports, and
surplus-disposal operations?
Here is its conclusion: “The
commission believes the answer
is an emphatic YES, provided the
necessary steps are taken to make
possible and encourage such a
development.”
These steps are presented in
the report. They are: Increase
participation by public and pri
vate institutions in an effective
research network. Greatly ex
pand basic research on use of
farm products. Increase use of
grants, fellowships, and scholar
ships to increase the nation’s sup
ply of scientists. Place more em
phasis on government- industry
sharing of research costs. Expand
research and development work
with new crops. Make wider use
of commercial-scale trials of new
products. Offer economic incen
tives to growers and processors
to bridge the gap between re
search and established industrial
uses of crops.
The commission urged at least
a three-fold increase in funds for
industrial utilization research in
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture. It recommended that in lieu
of direct appropriations, 15 per
cent of the annual gross receipts
from customs revenues be allot
ted for the industrial utilization
program.
For the administration of the
program, two alternative recom
mendations were made: The first
would establish a five-member,
nonpartisan Agricultural Re
search and Industrial Board ap
pointed by the President. This
board would allocate funds, make
contracts with research institu
tions, and direct and coordinate
the program but would not en
gage in research.
The alternative plan would
place the responsibility for the
program in the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, under a director
with the rank of Assistant Secre
tary of Agriculture, in charge of
research and education within
Oyw $38 Goes
To Little League
From W.O.T.M. Sale
A check in the amount of $38.60
will be written to the Palmer
Little League by Women of the
Moose. This amount represents 20
percent of all items sold at a re
cent sale sponsored by the wo
men as a Little League benefit.
The 20 percent represents the
total amount received by the
Women of the Moose who con
ducted the sale of varied articles
which were brought in by their
owners. The 20 percent repre
sented the share of the sale
which the women retained, the
balance going to the person own
ing the item.
Women of the Moose have ex
pressed their appreciation to the
public, as well as Moose mem
bers, for contributing towards
the benefit sale. “We are going
to offer another of these sales
soon”, they said. They made
their announcement early so that
homemakers will have a chance
to sort out items they are not
using, from which they may real
ize a profit by selling them to
others who could put them into
use.
During the recent sale an as
sortment of items were sold, in
cluding shoes, baby playpen,
boxed springs, kitchenware,
camping equipment, etc.
TEEN-AGE DANCE GROUP
TO MEET SATURDAY NIGHT
Members of the teen-age dance
class are reminded of their final
lesson which will be held Satur
day evening at Legion hall.
Members of the senior dance
class will meet at 7 p.m. for their
final one-hour lesson. At 8 p.m.
a party will be held for all stu
dents in both the junior and sen
ior groups.
the department. The board would
be appointed by the President,
but be responsible to the Secre
tary of Agriculture.
The commission pointed out
that in making its recommenda
tions it had in mind “the need to
achieve effective results as prom
ptly as possible and to maintain
and expand the excellent research
operations of the Department of
Agriculture and the Land-Grant
Colleges and Experiment Sta
tions, to make effective use of the
talent and facilities of other in
stitutions, and to add as little as
possible to the structure of gov
ernment.”
The Agriculture Research Ser
| vice was recently reorganized to
j give greater emphasis to utiliza
! tion research, according to H. P.
I Gazaway, economist at the local
Experiment Station. This type of
| research is likely to find favor
I with Congress and administrators
and receive major emphasis in
research and educational pro
grams of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.

INCREASE IN
RECLAMATION FUNDS
The Senate Appropriations
Committee, in reporting the 1958
fiscal year Public Works Appro
priation Bill, increased by $900,
100 the money approved by the
House for Alaska projects under
the Army Engineers and the
Bureau of Reclamation.
The House allowed $3,746,900
for river and harbor planning
and construction in the Terri
tory, as compared with the $4,
597,000 Senate committee alloca
tion, or a difference of $850,100.

the Mouse and restored by the
Senate committee. The studies
pogrammed by the Bureau for
the 1958 fiscal year with the full
budget request of $250,000 have
been listed for the Caribou pro

ed that City Council members
be given consideration of the
City Manager-City Council form
of government. He presented lit
erature on the subject and point
ed out that more and more cities
in Alaska and the States are go
ing into this form of government.
He pointed out that in a survey
of 1300 cities which adopted the -
plan only 51 have abandoned the
method, nine of them after 1G
years operation, the balance after
one or two years practice. He
pointed out that of those cities
which gave up the plan, none of
them prohibited a city council
member from acting as manager.
He advanced the opinion that
the price of a city manager would
be saved in the efficiency of the
city government.
