Harry Clark Protests i on Bank Grazin Put in Soi DENVER W) Livestock grai- Ing on Colorado land withdrawn in def ignaled drought disast areas will "in fact defeat the very purpose of the Soil Bank plan," an agriculture official said Monday. Harry Clark of Eaton, chairman of the U. S. Drought Commiltee for Colorado, said hi a letter lo Assl. Agriculture tary Kenneth Scott: "The greatest need at this i to get adequate cover (in vegetation) on the land to protect it from winds next winter.

Unless drought belt farmers in eastern Colorado get cover on the land this major dust storms will be inevitable when the normal Winds of winter come." Last week, Agriculture Secretary Benson approved a request that withdrawn acres in a drought counties be grazed by ba- lic livestock herds until Sept. 30. The Soil. Bank phase of the new farm bill originally did not allow for grazing withdrawn lands. The Soil Bank plan provides payment in cash to farmers who voluntarily remove land from production to 'nation's crop surplus problem.

fc What effect the Colorado Drought Committee's action might have on the grazing provision, was problematical. Some federal officials here said privately might lead to revocation of the special permit granted for livestock grazing on withdrawn lands. The protest was endorsed by Leavilt A. Booth, Colorado director of the Farmers Home Administration; Lt. Gen.

Henry A. Larsen, state civil defense director; and Ed McCrimm'oo, soil conservation official here. Clark wrote that a half million dollar wind erosion control- program enacted by the Colorado" Legislature last winter "will be dissipated quickly, and more funds will be required" if grazing is permitted. Members of county federal farm committees "have expressed concern that the grazing provision will result in bring increased numbers of cattle into drought counties and thereby accentuate the grazing problem in he said.
