tired of reading about the 75
quarts of strawberries that we
picked and the buckets and
buckets of sugar peas, so I will
write about something different.
My great uncle, Emery Shei
bly, was an unusual man. He
was an only child and when he
married he had no children.
Thus, he was free to pursue
many hobbies. He collected
stamps and walked to the post
office everyday to buy new
issues. He also collected coins
and had a valuable collection.
He also saved everything.
For a number of years, he was
a farmer, but at age 50, he re
tired to a village a few miles
from his farm. This farm had
been in his family ever since it
was deeded to them by the

Penns. They owned a consider
able amount of land and a
nearby mill.
In a very old, large Bible of
one of his ancestors, I found a
handwritten page pasted on an
inside cover of the leather bound
book. It is dated July 18, 1850
and it tells about a flood. After
raining for three days, the
Conestoga rose and carried
away “shocks of wheat, fences,
trees, and driftwood.”
Then on September 2,1850, it
rained “half of the time of the
former rain.” Yet, the Cones
toga rose rapidly and in three
hours had risen 18 feet. He says

WASHINGTON, D.C. The
House Committee on Agricul

programs and the extent to
which they are used to assist
U.S. farmers and ranchers.
that “Wolf and Bitzers bridges
were carried off and cornfields
ruined.” He saw hay stacks, bar
rels of flour, grain, and buildings
floating down the stream.
My father often talked of the
1936 flood when the Conestoga
River overflowed its banks. My
husband and I shall always re
member the flood of June 22,
1972 even if we did not paste the
account inside a big Bible.

The hearing also provided a
venue to compare expenditures
on U.S. programs to those of
other countries.
During the hearing, members
questioned Glickman as to
whether the USDA is maximiz
ing use of programs such as the
Export Enhancement Program
(EEP) and the Dairy Export In
centive Program (DEIP). Chair
man Larry Combest, R-Texas,
raised his concern that while a
total of $2 billion was authorized
for EEP from 1996 through
2000, less than $lO million of
those funds have been used.
“Our agricultural export pro
grams are a great way to lever
age scarce federal resources to
create or enhance overseas mar
kets and to address the contin
ued negative impact of low
demand overseas,” said Rank

ing Committee Member Charlie
Stenholm, D-Texas. “We were
all disappointed in Seattle last
December with the failure to
reach a framework agreement
for new negotiations on agricul
ture. Until we begin to see more
meaningful progress toward the
further reform promised in the
Uruguay Round, we must
ensure that our export programs
are adequately funded and that
the secretary has the necessary
tools to keep our farmers and
ranchers competitive.”
Members, led by Chairman
Combest, also expressed con
cern regarding the wide dispar
ity between U.S. support
programs for domestic agricul
ture and those of other nations.
