There are 1.5 million acres in Minnesota in the Conservation Reserve and Nichols said alfalfa planted on them would be a good source of hay. Without a step such as releasing the land, Nichols said, farmers would have to turn to an Agriculture Department drought program that pays for up to 50 percent of the cost of livestock feed. In a related matter, a preliminary crop condition report released Monday by the Agriculture Department showed crops worsening in some of the areas hit by prolonged dry weather. In Louisiana, 46 percent of the cotton is in poor condition, compared with 26 percent a week earlier.

In Ohio, 27 percent of the soybean crop and 22 percent of the com is in poor condition. In Indiana, 29 percent of the soybean crop is listed as poor and 4 percent as very poor. Thirty percent of Montanas winter wheat crop is in very poor condition and 27 percent is in poor condition. Nonetheless, crops generally were in fair to good condition, with some listed as excellent. Forty percent of Californias cotton, for instance, is listed as excellent.

Midwestern states top the departments list for numbers of counties eligible for emergency haying and grazing. The department has approved the step in 99 counties in Illinois, 89 in Nebraska, 88 in Indiana, 87 in Missouri, 86 in Iowa, 72 in Wisconsin and 71 in Ohio. By CHARLES J. ABBOTT UPI Farm Editor WASHINGTON (UPI) Agriculture Secretary Richard Lyng has rejected a request to let farmers use their conservation reserve land to battle dry weather, and a report showed crops already suffering badly in si me regions. The department said Monday, as a drought relief step, it now allows farmers in 845 counties in 18 states to harvest hay and graze livestock on crop setaside acreage.

They normally are barred from using the land during the growing season. Minnesota Gov. Rudy Perpich and state Agriculture Commissioner Jim Nichols asked Lyng to allow their farmers to use conservation reserve land for haying and grazing. About 25 million acres are enrolled in the conservation reserve, started in 1986 and intended to take highly erodible land out of production for up to 15 years. Farmers must plant cover crops, such as alfalfa, on the land and are paid for idling the land.

Nichols called the request to Lyng a no-cost program that would help farmers with only sunburned fields as a source of hay for livestock. He has rejected our request to open up the Conservation Reserve acreage, Perpich said after a half-hour meeting with Lyng. He feels the program is just under way (and) these are fragile lands People in his Reuter Airport protest Last week's rainfall mere drop in the bucket for Ohio farmers New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind, right, leads once lived in Wapakoneta and whose wife is from a group protesting the arrival of Mubarek Awad Mansfield, was deported from Israel for par-at JFK Airport in New York Monday.

were poor to fair. Grassland desperately needed rainfall. Regrowth for second cuttings was almost nonexistent. The delayed regrowth could affect the timing late in the season and prevent a late season cutting. Many spring planted stands of forage have been lost.

Alfalfa weevil also continued to take its toll. Vegetable producers used irrigation wherever possible to save their high value crops. Development of sugarbeets, cucumbers, and tomatoes was late; migrant workers were unable to find work cultivating these crops. most of the crop at a fair rating. Winter wheat was almost entirely headed, with 15 percent of the stands turning color; not necessarily from maturity but from dryness.

Heads were reported, but with only small kernels. Wheat could have trouble filling heads without sufficient moisture. Wheat conditions rated mostly fair. Oats also rated fair, but development was far behind, with 30 percent of the crop headed, compared with 66 percent in 1987 and 40 percent for a five-year average. Hay rated fair while pastures Tariffs have long history in America the U.S.

Blind protectionism is folly, but so is doctrinaire free trade. COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) Dry weather continued to plague Ohio farmers last week despite a midweek rainfall in parts of the state. The deficit rainfall continued to accrue throughout most of the Buckeye State, producing topsoil moisture readings of 88 percent short and 12 percent adequate, with no surpluses reported for the week ended June 12, the Ohio Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday. A total of 71 counties have been approved by the federal government for emergency haying and grazing of set-aside acreage because of the dry weather.

Rain swept through the state last Wednesday night, dumping widely varying amounts of rainfall. Generally the northern third of Ohio received almost none, while the central third got the most, with amounts ranging from a few tenths to over an inch. The southern third measured rainfall in only tenths of an inch. A cold front that touched off the rain also brought much cooler temperatures, which reduced the transpiration rate and brought frost to many localities. Some leaves were nipped but plants were not killed.

There were 6.8 days suitable for fieldwork last week. Conditions were so dry the midweek rain did not necessarily curtail fieldwork. Activities included haying, spraying, cultivating and planting beans. Com development was uneven throughout Ohio. Earlier planted stands tended to look better than the later planted stands that were planted in drier conditions.

Development was slow overall because of the dry soils and periodic cool weather. Some cutworm activity was reported in north central and northeast Ohio. Com conditions deteriorated, falling mostly to the fair category. Soybeans produced much the same picture as com, with early stands better than late ones. Soybeans plants wilted during the day, and bean leaf beetles fed on the crop in west central Ohio.

Soybeans also declined, putting The prime ministers office also accused Awad of inciting violence during the Palestinian uprising, now in its seventh month in the territories. Shamir said the Palestinian-American was acting against security and order. Had this happened in the United States, where he is a citizen, or in another place, he would have been sent back, expelled immediately, without any consideration, Shamir told Israel Radio. Awad appealed the deportation order, arguing he should be allowed to remain in Jerusalem. Israeli officials said Awad lost his right to remain in Israel after obtaining U.S.

citizenship. Israels High Court of Justice upheld the deportation order June 5, clearing the way for the government 1 to deport Awad. Awad denounced the High Courts decision, charging Israel is doing all it can to rid Palestinians from their land. Many right-wing Israelis demanded Awad, who has a limited following among Palestinians, be expelled because they said his espousal of nonviolence was a front for violent activities against Israel. The United States has protested moves to deport Awad, citing his commitment to nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience such as nonpayment of taxes, commercial strikes and boycotts of Israeli goods.

We think its unjustifiable not to permit him to stay in the country where he was bom, White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said Monday. Awad returned to Jerusalem in 1983 after studying and living for 13 years in the United States, where he obtained U.S. citizenship and married Nye. Awad established the Palestinian Center for the Study of Non-Violence when he returned to Israel. Council of Churches on hand to greet Awad, would not comment on his failure to appear at the scheduled news conference, but it was believed he was hustled out of the terminal through a side door because of the presence of the demonstrators.

Kimball read a short statement from Awad in which he said it had been a very difficult day but that he wished to express his happiness to be but of jail after 40 days. Kimball said Awad would continue to work for a non-violent resolution of strife in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. He will continue to pray for the day when he can return to the Middle East in peace, Kimball said. Awad was met at the airport by his American Nancy Nyd Mansfield, Ohio, Kimball said. In Israel, police and security forces had brought Awad, a psychologist, to Ben-Gurion Airport from a nearby prison in a van with covered windows, state-run Israel Radio reported.

Two police officers escorted Awad to his New York-bound plane, where his handcuffs were removed and he was seated in the business section, the radio reported. Journalists were not allowed to see Awad before his departure. He had vowed he would have to be carried aboard his flight, but it was not known whether Awad resisted. Awad has sworn to return to Israel and to continue his fight against the Israeli occupation. Police confiscated banners denouncing his expulsion from about 20 supporters, who stood outside the terminal building about four hours before Awads plane left.

Shamir, as acting interior minister, signed a deportation order May 5, saying Awad had been in Israel illegally since Nov. 20 when his tourist visa expired. Awad was arrested May 6 and has been jailed since then. i By HENRY LOGEMAN NEW YORK (UPI) Mubarak Awad, a Palestinian-American advocate deported over his stand on non-violent resistance to Israels occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, arrived in New York to mixed greetings from supi tecs and critics. Awad, 44, a U.S.

citizen who lived for several years in Wapakoneta, Ohio, was sched ded to hold a news conference upon his 8:25 p.m. arrival Monday at the Trans World Airline terminal at Kennedy International Airport, but he failed to appear. A spokesman said Awad would speak to reporters in New York today. Awad was ordered deported, over U.S. objections, by Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who said Awad was in Israel illegally and had threatened national security by inciting violence in the Israeli-occupied territories.

He denied the charges and said he had the right to remain in Jerusalem, where he was bom before the establishment of the state of Israel. Israelis and Palestinians awaiting Awads arrival at the airport erupted in an angry clash of verbal threats but no violence about a half hour before his jet touched down from Tel Aviv. The Jewish group included representatives of the Jewish Defense Organization and Kach International, part of the Kach Party in Israel that is affiliated with JDL founder Meir Kahane, a spokesman said. They shouted Death to the PLO, Awad is Arafat and Awad is a terrorist. The other group, which included members of the Palestinian Anti-Discrimination Committee, responded with, Israel No, Palestine Yes, Death to Zionism and Zionism is racism.

Charles Kimball, director of the Middle East office of the National WILMINGTON, Ohio (UPI) An Ohio historian says that while the merits of jrdtedtivte tariffs' OrTfbre-'1, ign trade continue to. be hotly de-, bated, one thing is for sure theyre as American as apple pie. For most of our history, the United States has had high protective tariffs, often the highest in the industrialized world, notes Dr. Vinton Prince of Wilmington College. Tariffs, and specifically protective tariffs, have been a major issue in American politics and played a major role in the regional rivalry between the north and south before the Civil War.

Only since the New Deal has the U.S. moved away from protectionism, turning toward lower taiiffs on a basis of international reciprocity.

Applegate reportedly wants to build support for him among delegates, although Dukakis is likely to make his choice before the convention is held next month in Atlanta. There has been much discussion of late concerning a southern versus OUakC5J UCWWU ITU I in November, Applegate and Kap-, tur said in their letter. Certainly, the South has very competent and attractive potential candidates that would help to defeat the Republican nominee, but we believe the Midwest to be strategic and with its large block of blue-collar Democrat voters essential to a victory.
