TURKISH CONSERVATIONISTS VISIT —
Area Soil Conservation Service repre-
sentatives pose with 11 conservation
administrators from the government of
Turkey here on a three-month orient-
ation tour of the U.S. to study soil con-
servation procedures and field supervi-
sion. The visitors are in this country
under the sponsorship of the Department
of Agriculture. With the group are Virgle
Cunningham, area conservationist from
Amarillo; James Abbott, assistant state
conservationist, headquartered at Tem-
ple; and Jack Gray, work unit conserva-
tionist at Panhandle. At the right end
of the group is C. E. Swain, retired
conservationist for Indiana who is con-
ducting the tour. (Herald Photo)
The group is compris-
ed of the assistant gen-
eral director and the di-
rector of planning and
surveys, in the Turkish
organization equivalent of
the U.S, Soil Conserva-
tion Service, in addition to
nine regional directors of
the organization. The or-
ganization is under Tur-
key’s Ministry of Agri-
culture and is modeled
after the U.S. agency. All
are graduates of the Fa-
culty of Agriculture of the
University of Ankara.
Guide for the eight-
state tour is G.E. Swain,
recently retired as state
conservationist for I n-
diana.
He was assisted in ori-
entating the Turkish
group here by Jack Gray,
work unit conservationist
at Panhandle. Also taking
part in the program were
James Abbott, assistant
state conservationist
from the department
headquarters at Temple;

Armstrong, presently a
director of the National
Livestock and Meat Board
and chairman of the Beef
Industry Council, em-
phasized beef promotion
in a brief talk to listen-
ers.
In criticism of the pre-
sent administration, he
denounced national poli-
cies, “which impose un-
fair competion upon
struggling taxpaying ran-
chers, through excessive
imports of foreign agri-
culture products. ’
Armstrong placed pre-
sent ills of the wheat
industry at the door of
Orville Freeman, U. S.
Secretary of Agriculture
along with the endorse-
ment in Texas by the pre-
sent commissioner of a-
griculture.
“I am convinced,” he
said, “that Freeman and
White are trying to punish
wheat farmers for voting
against federal controls
in the referendum on
wheat.” “...White endor-
ses that approach to agri-
cultural problems,” he
said.
Armstrong is native to
San Antonio and lives near
Kingsville. He was gradu-
ated from Texas Military
Institute and also the Uni-
veristy of Texas, where
he majored in economics

workshop is designed to
acquaint proponents of
tourism in Texas with the
various historical re-
sources available to ac-

direction on both state and
local levels.
“History is not dead,”
says the TSHSC. “On the
contrary, it is one of the
most living things in mo-
dern-day Texas, for it is
well known that history
