approximately 2,000 have been
returned.
Block’s program, called the
“Preferred Program,” offers
several new approaches for easing
the Nation’s soil and water
problems. Two key factors are
concentrating funds and USDA
personnel in areas with the
greatest soil losses. Another
section introduces a block grant
program of matching funds for
states to correct their erosion
problems. Funding for both
proposals would come from
existing USDA soil conservation
programs, reports the SCS
spokesman.
A total of 20 different ideas are
contained in the response form to
which the public may voice a
strongly support to a strongly
oppose vote.

State Bull Test
ITHACA, N.Y. - The New York
State 1981-02 Bull Test at Cornell
University’s Livestock Teaching
and Research Center at Harford
has been authorized by the
American Polled Hereford
Association as an official test for
those Polled Hereford bulls
enrolled in the performance
program.
The American Polled Hereford
Association will publish data on the
bulls completing the 140-day test
and the breeder and owner of the
top gaining bull will be given
plaques.
The official recognition of the
New York Bull Test by the
American Polled Hereford
Association is the result of a
cooperative effort by Joe Lewis of
Pulaski, president of the Empire
Polled Hereford Association; Bill
Greene, Extension livestock
associate at Cornell University;
and the Bull Test sponsors—the
New York Beef Cattlemen’s
Association, the New York State
Department of Agriculture and
Markets and Cornell University.
Lewis said, “This is a step for
ward for Polled Hereford breeders
in the state and the Empire Polled
Hereford Association is pleased to
have had a part in effecting this
recognition by our national breed
association.” He explained the
current New York-bull test meets
