LETTERS, Page 7No Pork Barrel
The reference to the Agricultural Extension Service as a
"pork-barrel" project in your story on budget cuts (NATION, Oct.
30) is unfair. We address, among other subjects, teen and preteen
alcohol and other substance abuse, water quality, community
revitalization and nutrition. Last summer, in one county alone, we
saved farmers approximately $4.5 million by helping them decide how
to cope with a plague of spider mites and grasshoppers.
