Foreign, U.S. scholars to attend Slavic agricultural meeting here
Scholars and researchers from Canada, France, Great Britain, Germany and the United States will meet Oct. 5-7 in the Kansas Union to discuss the impact of current agricultural policies in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
The meeting is the International Conference on East European Land Policy and Peasant Alliance
About 50 persons, including representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and a commodity adviser will participate in the conference.
Roy Laird, professor of political science and Slavic and Soviet studies, said although no foreign government representatives would attend the conference, government officials of foreign countries might obtain articles that issue from the conference.
The exchange of ideas at the conference among academic and governmental leaders will be held in the United States.
Francisco, assistant professor of political science and Slavic and Soviet studies, said
Government researchers tend to have better data than academic researchers, but narrower views about agriculture, Francisco said.
Laird said the conference's theme was an important one in the modern world.
*Exports of food, particularly grain, have become vital importantly to us in terms of food security.*
The conference will be funded by the University of Kansas and from a joint grant from the Hesston Foundation for work in the field of Soviet and East European agriculture. The Hesston Foundation is funded by the University of Kansas to implement manufacturing company in Hesston.
Past agricultural conferences have been held in Munich, West Germany; Santa Ana, Costa Rica; and Tampa, Florida.
Laird said he organized the first conference, held at KU in 1962, with funds from the University.
This year's conference is being held at the lagoon of some of his German colleagues, Lehman and Heineken.
Foreign participation in the conference is important to begin, when only a few foreigners attend.

Countv tests water tank chlorine
By BILL HIGGINS Staff Reporter
County officials will test the county's 10,000 gallon emergency water tank this week to determine whether adequate marine levels in the tank can be maintained.
Travis Brann, the county's coordinator for emergency preparedness, told the news media that a test of the water indicated there was no chlorine left by the time the water reached a faucet in the basement of the Juvenile Justice and Law Enforcement Center.
Brann said the tank served the emergency operations center, a 6,000-square-foot area in the basement of the Law Enforcement Center. The center is a shelter that can be

Richard Hack, an inspector for the City-
County Health Department, tested the water for chlorine last week at Brann's request.
