WEATHER- Fair and PRICE THREE CENTS Lehigh, Franklin Farmers Testify HARRISBURG, March 24. The Pennsylvania State College extension service won praise from Lehigh County farmers to day in the fourth weekly hearing held by a House committee in vestigating charges that the Col lege and the state Soil Conser vation Board are not cooperating with the federal soil erosion pro gram. All appropriations to the Col lege are being held up until the probe is completed. Witnesses at the three previous hearings con curred in testimony that the ex tension service hindered efforts to start soil control projects. Farmers from Lehigh and Franklin counties testified at to day’s hearing. The Lehigh farm ers expressed opposition to the federal program but said the Col lege extension has helped them. In explaining why a referen dum to establish a soil erosion district in Lehigh County was defeated, P. D. Frantz said “those in charge of the campaign de feated their own objective through poor salesmanship.” Five Franklin County farmers, where a referendum was defeat ed, 242-191, said their county agent repeatedly told them he could not support soil erosion prevention districts because of orders given by “his boss, Mc- Dowell up at State College.” Mil ton S. McDowell is director of the College extension service. The Franklin County farmers testified that Secretary of Agri culture John H. Light refused to conduct a referendum on a county-wide basis but held it only in seven townships which already had a demonstration district. One witness said that the ref erendum was conducted by Sec retary Light’s chauffeur who “took the ballot box off to parts unknown.” This testimony was much the same as that given by - Adams County farmers last week- C. Robert Glover, secretary of the Pioneer Fish and Game As sociation in Allentown, said that Secretary Light confessed in • a letter to not complying with the 30-day limit for a - referendum. Glover told of a “long period of effort” to have a vote in Le high County. He said the county agent and various organizations were supporting it. iHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiniiiiiiim Late News Bulletins iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiir.
