In the morning session, the group heard W. T. Powers, ASCS State Executive Director, trace through farm legislation and actions which, over thirty-odd years, have developed into the varied and complex ASCS programs that vitally affect so many millions of farmers today. Powers pointed to farm programs in recent years which have effected national economies by taking vast acreages out of production - corn, wheat, tobacco, and cotton - and at the same time maintained farm income at a reasonable level. Following a series of slides and a movie on committeeman duties narrated by Horace Godfrey, ASCS Administrator, a committeeman from Clark County, Arthur D. Weiss discussed the part he played in the administration of farm programs in his county. After lunch, James E. Warren, Chairman, State Committee, spoke on the importance of maintaining a close relationship between committees at the State and county levels to assure orderly opera tions that will result in maximum program benefits to farmers.
Another movie featured Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman discussing a "New Role in Agriculture". The Secretary praised the ASCS Committee system for its part in gains achieved under various commodity programs and for accomplishment of goals sought by farm legislation of recent years.
