The South Dakota Farm Bureau voting delegates to the 59th annual South Dakota Farm Bureau convention in Pierre drafted letter today calling attention to the plight suffered by many sheep producers in the state.

U8D-S STUDENT NAMED TO COLLEGE WHO'S WHO SPRINGFIELD Don Scott, Kimball, has been named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges for 1976. He is a student at the University of South Dakota Springfield.

Delegates from the western portion of the state sighted the reduction of sheep numbers during the past four years was partially caused by the loss of the availability of the toxicant 1080, which is used almost exclusively to control coyotes and fox. Sheep men feel they have been unnecessarily discriminated against because the most effective means available to control the predators has been outlawed without any alternative being offered. The sheep production reduction is not limited to South Dakota but is critical throughout the western portion of the United States. Approximately 750,000 lambs and approximately 250,000 stock sheep were killed this past year by predators, which amounts to 11 percent of the total sheep population in the sheep producing states. This situation is in representation to this past year and figures show sheep production down 20 percent since 1972.

The 103 delegates' retention of viable sheep production is in the best interest of South Dakota and the country of the whole and therefore requested the President to lift this ban. Abourezk sets meetings on farm disaster relief Friday, Nov. 19, Daily Republic; Mail: Nov. 20, 1976 (5) WASHINGTON, D.C. South Dakota Senator Jim Aboumk has announced that during the next three months he and his staff will be conducting a series of meetings throughout South Dakota to get the input of South Dakotans in the writing of a new farm bill, disaster relief legislation and new water resource legislation.

"I want to put together a positive and effective package of farm, disaster relief and water resource legislation that will work like we want It to work. At these Dakotans will have direct input into the legislation I will be introducing in the Senate as soon as Congress reconvenes in January. "Following the meetings, when this package of legislation is put infinalform, I will introduce it in the Senate and make it my top personal priority in the new Congress," Abouretksald. Aboureik said the meetings get underway later this month and early In December with 12 meetings across the state conducted by members of Abouretk's staff dealing with proposed ideas for the new farm bill. Abourezk personally will be conducting a statewide wrap-up meetings on farm legislation in January.

'The present farm bill, the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973, expires in 1977. The shape of the law that replaces that act will go far to determine the prosperity of our state for the remainder of the 70s," Abourezk said. The South Dakota Senator said he is optimistic about working with the new Carter Administration. "This is the first time since Thomas Jefferson that we've had a farmer as President. Along with Vice President-elect Mondale, the Administration should display a much better attitude toward the problems we face today." "On the other hand, the new Administration will be bombarded with demands from cities, suburbs and all sections of the country for help with their special problems.

We in South Dakota need to present a strong case for a solid new farm bill as soon as Congress reconvenes In January. I'm confident I can Introduce such a bill with the help and suggestions of the people of South Dakota," Abourezk said. Meetings will be held in this area Tuesday, Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Springs Inn at Weasington Springs and Wednesday, Dec.

1 at 7:30 p.m. at the public library community room at Tyndall. 1-90 ceremony to be held near Spearf ish PIERRE, S.D. The official opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the completion of the final segment of interstate 90 in South Dakota, will be held near Spearfish Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 11 a.m., It was announced today by the Department of Transportation.

The ceremony, which will be held near the intersection of I- 90 and Highway 85 just north of Spearfish, signals the opening of a four-lane road from Boston to the SD-Wyoming border. Interstate 90 spans approximately 413 miles across South Dakota. The final 9.8 miles of 1-90, from the Wyoming border east to north of Spearfish was opened to traffic this past weekend, DOT officials said. Gov. Richard Kneip will be unable to attend the ceremonies due to prior commitments, however state and federal transportation officials as well as members of the media and the public will be in attendance.

South Dakota now has completed 604.36 miles of interstate, leaving only about 11 percent or 74.6 miles of interstate in the state yet to complete. The remaining interstate construction is on Interstate 29 north of Watertown. The interstate highway in S.D. is part of the 42,500 mile National System of Interstate and Defense Highways in our nation. Most of the mileage now open, which is about 37,598 miles nation-wide, was built under the federal and interstate trust program which began in 1956.

All federal funds for the Interstate Program come from federal excise taxes levied on highway users and channeled through the Highway Trust Fund. Woodrich Construction Company of Hopkins', Abdnor cites Faith as example of town work held the $4,081,067.20 contract for the paving and guard rail installation on the final 9.8 miles of Interstate 90 in South Dakota. The contract was let June 25,1975, Other contractors participating in some of the construction of that 9.8 miles of road were: Highway Construction of Rapid City, grading let June 13, 1973, J. H. Hilt Engineering signing and delineation, $89,406 let May 19, 1976; Lawrence Steel and Son, $548,594 for a structure and Sweetman Construction of Sioux Falls, $515,356.69 for a structure.

Following the establishment of the Trust Fund in 1956, S.D. let its first contract for 1-90 on July 17, 1956, to Northwest Engineering Company of Rapid City for grading and paving of 7.27 miles of the highway from north of Tilford to north of Piedmont. This generally followed U.S. Highway 14 and State Highway 79. "Does federal participation increase the cost of projects? You bet it does, and often far more than we realize," said Congressman James Abdnor.

"The experience of Faith, S.D. in constructing a new rodeo grounds is a Fine example." Abdnor explained, "When replacement of the grandstand became necessary, Faith people potential financing, and found the project qualified for Bureau of Outdoor Recreation funding. Thereupon, they started on the paperwork to qualify. "Midway in the application for a $250,000 grant to be matched with $50,000 local money paused, looked at what they would get for the money and began to wonder," he continued. "After asking more questions and sharpening their pencils, they decided to forget about "free federal money" and the gobs of red tape which would have come with it." "In late October, the Faith Stock Show and Rodeo Association heard a final accounting on the newly completed and paid for grandstand," reported Abdnor.

"The total cost of $38,042.29 was met with savings, donations and concession profits and covered lumber, wiring, and wages paid to a foreman. The people of the community also donated 3,873 hours of labor. "Thus Faith had a new grandstand at 12.7 per cent of the cost of a federally funded project. Even had Faith paid $10 per hour to those donating labor, the cost would have little more than doubled and still been a quarter of the federal cost." Abdnor complimented the people of Faith, saying, "The people of Faith deserve the thanks and congratulations of all of us. They not only saved the taxpayers a lot of money, but they saved themselves $12,000 and incalculable red tape headaches and Commission to hear reports on Saturday PIERRE The South Dakota Bicentennial Commission will hear reports from its staff and regional director when it meets in Vermillion on Saturday.

NATIONAL FARM-CITY WEEK, NOV. 1-25 FARM AND CITY FARTHERS IN PROGRESS A DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE During Farm-City Week Residents take closer look Colorado Interdependence between farmers and city dwellers is the idea cattlewomen across the country will be stressing during Farm-City Week, November 1925. "Our mutual dependence on one another is often taken for granted, but it's important that farm and city dwellers take a closer look at each other's place in the total economy our prosperity is interrelated," said Wray Finney, president of the American National Cattlemen's Assn. "Through ANCA's Industry Information Council we are encouraging the American National CowBelles, ANCA's women's auxiliary, to share their views with their 'city cousins' during this week-long observance.

Women have traditionally been involved in Farm-City Week activities since the special observance was first begun by Kiwanis International 22 years ago." This year's theme for Farm- City Week is "A Declaration of Interdependence." "Our independence as a country for two centuries has been successful because we have learned to work together," said Mrs. Otis Rosasco, Jamestown, ANCA's National Coordinator for Farm-City Week. "Our farms and ranches are the most productive in the world. In a 20- year period we've been able to double our food production. That's no accident.

We've done this with the help of goods and services produced by those who have moved from farms to the cities." Rosasco emphasized that agriculture's dependency on industry and technology for growth is not a "one-way street." Each dollar received by cattlemen directly generates an additional $5-6 of business activity. Also, she added, counting production and living expenses, farmers and cattlemen spend $125 billion a Oahe Board requests delay on water project PIERRE, S.D. In a letter delivered to Governor Kneip and sent to the South Dakota Congressional delegation, a majority of the members of the new Oahe Board have asked that any new activity by the Bureau of Reclamation on the Oahe Project be delayed through the winter months to allow them time for reasonable review of the problems surrounding the project. The.Jetter stated that since there had been substantial change in the make up of the board in the November election that they would need time to reorganize and asked that a review period extend to on or about May 30, 1977. AH five newly elected directors signed the letter along with 3 present members of the 11 director board.

The new board will take over in January 1977 and they said they were concerned that possible unnecessary accelerated action by the Bureau of Reclamation might not allow them time to act a responsible and prudent fashion. They cited concern over the governments condemnation of 33 percent of the land acquired for the Oahe Canal thus far contrary to the wishes of Congress that it only be used as a last resort. They were also concerned that the Bureau would be awarding construction contracts and acquiring more land at a time when the construction season has ended and the new board is taking over. They asked that the Governor and the Congressional delegation contact Bureau officials in Washington on the boards behalf and request a delay on any new land acquisition or condemnation as well as the awarding of further construction contracts on Oahe until the new Oahe Board has had time to review. "At the present time we would ask that a review period extend to on or about May 30,1977 to allow the Board time to reorganize, become familiar with detail plans, and obtain and review information with the Bureau of Reclamation and the public." The letter went on to say that the proposed review period would not hamper or delay pending work on the first stretch of canal and the pumping plant near Pierre both of which are under construction now and are scheduled to extend thru the next few months.
