Federal funds back soil conservation to aid farmers
Local and state agricultural officials argue that federal cost sharing keeps conservation work alive. They cite 1973 lapses and 1974 recoveries showing acres vegetated, waterways built, and terraces laid, with Oklahoma Missouri and Illinois officials stressing long term benefits and critics noting that farmers cover much of the costs. The USDA budget for 1976 totals 9.7 billion.

Defense considers brainwashing and forced involvement in the 1974 Hibernia bank robbery by the Symbionese Liberation Army.

Des Moines Republicans urged the legislative services bureau to draft a bill opposing a 30 percent pay increase and to cut costs by shortening sessions and ending interim double pay.
