the livestock industry upon which the

< Earlier Ggover B. Hill, assistant
secretary of agriculture and the driv-
ing force behind the organisation of
the range program, had told the dele-
gates of the opening session in Mid-
land that "beef'was more important
than bullets."
The assistant secretary praised the
ranchmen for their cooperation with
the progress, pointing out that the
program was devised and instituted
by the ranchmen themselves and that
their cooperation proved its worth.

the United States, pleaded for this
country and his to pursue a common
policy "to keep the Pacific peaceful

"I each of our two nations works
toward that end, it is certain that
peace and trade of the Pacific can
be preserved,” he told nearly 1,400

OOLLEGE STATION, Texas, June
29.—Developed as a peacetime moie-
ment, the AAA farm program is an
important part of the national de-
fense program.
For by carrying out these peace-
time programs for - conservation, the
farmers and ranchmen of the nation
have made and are making an im-
measurable contribution to the nation-
al defense.
That’s what R. M. Evans, national
AAA administrator, told delegates to
the National Hauge Conference in
San Angelo last week, pointing to
what th farmers and ranchmen are
doing to strengthen the nation as
proof of his statement.
"First, they are building up the
productive power of the farm land
and of the range through widespread
use of conservation practices", the
administrator said, “and, second, they
are cooperating in al program designed
to make agriculture a healthy indus-
try that provides abundance now and
will continue to provide that abund-
ance' in the future."
