MCPA Urges Early Extension of Water Facilities Loan Program
Missouri Cotton Producers Association pushes for nationwide expansion of the water facilities loan program. Bracey says drought stresses boost the case for extending aid to individuals, mutual water companies, irrigation districts and related bodies at 3 percent interest up to 20 years for individuals and 40 years for associations. The current program, begun in 1939, would move beyond the western arid states.

Linking Human Nourishment To Soil Fertility
A discussion by Dr. Wilder and researchers shows soil erosion reduces nutrient content in crops and affects human nourishment. Illinois and Iowa studies note lower protein and mineral levels on poor land, while fertilizer and better soils improve outputs.
