said ‘•Agiicultur.il Consci ration
piogrnm funds should be re
stored to $220 million a year. The
special milk piogram for child
icn should be restored and ex
tended The Metcaif-Culvcr ‘tax
loss farming’ bills should be en
acted into law to halt the con
version or ordinary income by
non-faimers into capital gains in
older to avoid paying taxes. The
USD A should publicly explain
the limitations on a ‘misleading’
survey of corporation farming
that is being widely publicized to
indicate no substantial control of
agnculture by corporations”
Dechant said the Farmers
Union is alarmed at the pioposal
or the Nixon Administration to
eliminate the AGP piogram un
dei which farmeis cairy out con
seivation practices on a cost-shai
ing basis “Undei standing of the
impoitance of the ACP to the
nation's piesenl and futuie has
been demonstiated by Congress
lonal suppoit on numeious occa
sions when attempts to cut the
piogiam have been iejected,”
Dechant said “It is an invest
ment in the future to assuie the
agucultuial productive capacity
needed to feed and clothe future
generations ”
Duchant expressed appioval
ol the House action last week to
restore and extend the special
milk program for children He
said it is imperative that the
Senate do likewise in order to
close the “nutritional gap” for
the nation’s school children
Dechant said the 'Farmers
Union considers the Administra
tion’s pioposals to limit tax loss
farming to be “completely inad
equate ” The Metcalf-Culver
bills now before the Congress
deal with the problem much
more directly, he said He said
the Administration pioposal
will also work a hardship on
legitimate faimeis when disas
trous losses have occurred as a
lesult of such natural causes as
floods
Dschant was especially cuti
cal o£ ? study on coipoiation
Idimmg by the USDA He ac
cused tne USDA of lushing into
pi int with its findings even bs
foie the suivey is complete, ana
without explaining its limita-
lions a commcnt.n y on the
study in the Fiumcis Union’s
Washington Newsletter, being
distributed today, calls it "slei
ght of hand” in which the agen
cy attempts to direct the atten
tion of the public to the amount
of land being farmed by cor
porations Closer to the heart of
the question, said the Newslet
ter, are questions excluded from
the study—the impact of corpor
ations on markets, efficiency of
operation, and tax sheltei ad
vantages used by non-farm inter
ests to avoid paying legitimate
taxes.
Wild seese have been clocked
flying 60 miles per hour, and
planes have observed them at
elevations abo/e 29,000 feet.
