He wai appearing before tsveral hundred Farm Bureau members at Pershing Memorial Auditorium In, Lincoln at part of that organization'! 43rd annual convention, Marshall described the Kennedy Administration Feed-Grain Pre-grim as falling because it: (1) nil developed a soybean surplus as a result of high incentive price supports: (2) weakened the private corn market by selling surplus government corn stocks to force down prices and coerce far men to enter the Feed Grain Pro gram; and (3) did not secure the 1 4 7 Pearle F. Flnlgan, State Director gobbler. Much misunderstanding between farm-city folks TO TRENDS the Feed-Grain Program, he continued, but the punishment factor in corn hurt them as much as It hurt those in states which did not cooperate as well.

Marshall, pointing to rrX'ilon cf the Feed-Grain concept to wheat In 196J. asked, "What can we expect to happen In wheat a year from now, on the basis of what has happened to feed grains In 1961?" Discussing the federally Imposed sedimentation tests for small grains, the Farm Bureau president pointed out that undesirable varieties of wheat, as one example, grade better than the recommended varieties. He asked, "Ho will we Ret foreign buyers to pay a premium on the basis of sedimentation tests? Does this mean a higher subsidy to move our wheat Into foreign markets?"

JACK WRIGHT'S TIRE SHOP BRUCELLOSIS IS DANGEROUS Is- America's drlvt against bru-' cellosii bogging down? This $25 million to $40 million disease problem now being fsc ed by the nation'! farmers it giving authorities of the American Foundation for Animal Health real concern.

Here art I few of the multi-mil lion dollar loss highlights cited today by the Foundation: In dairy herds, brucillosis can cause a milk loss of up to 25 per cent. It can also cause high rbortion rate, and even permanent infertility. Efforts against the disease seem to have stopped on dead center In many areas. At last count, nearly half the states still had not been placed In the modifled-cer tified brucillosis free category. Farmers who want to check this costlv disease are being urged to get behind an "area control" plan, whereby owners unite in a common effort to clean up the disease.

Veterinarians make per-odic tests of all cattle In the area. Cattle which react are eliminated and reactors weeded out. When this plan is coupled with calfhood vaccination, the Foundation lays excellent result are obtained, with a big difference in profit to the owners. Replacement cattle should also be blood tested, to be sure they do not introduce brucellosis into the home herd.

All these Items from a grocery store often give the impression thai food is high in price. One study reported that nonfood purchases it the grocery store average about 20 per Cent of the grocery bill.

And lot happens to food on its journey from farm to supermarket. Consumers are demanding more service all the time. "We want "convenience foods," for example, with built-in maid heat-and-serve rolls, smaller unite, better packing, prebaking, precut tins end pre-selection. We didn't have ftese services in 1940-and they aren't free," the economist states. The $65 labeled "Other costs" in the breakdown of the over-all increase in marketing costs includes these services.

Remiirkable advances in agriculture have actually held down tin grocer)' bill for all of us. The American public spends only 20 per cent of its disposable income for fcod-far less than any other people in the world. Colorado Is almost a perfect rec tangle in form and has the most regular boundary lines of any state of the Union. vith poultry Industry needs a reappraising lor advancement While the poultry Industry In Nebraska needs reappraising as to the direction It ii heading, it li operating on I founder basis than it appears at first glance. Thil analysis was made by Doyle Free, executive secretary ti the Nebraska Poultry Improvement Association, as the group's annual convention held in Lincoln last week.

Nebraska Is out of step with some of the major poultry-pro- duclna areas of the nation as to slio of laying flocks, Free told poultrymen gathered at the Na tional Guard Armory. Nebraska continues to produce more laying flock units than ail other trees, which have dropped small flocks. Frse pointed out. He explained that a laying flock is small in other regions but still is corsidered fairly large In Nebraska. However, the official cautioned that direct comparison cannot be made with other areas because poultry still ties in directly with other farming enterprises In the state, with only a imall amount of specialization, Reiufing a charge leveled by some critics that the Nebraska poultry Industry li "dead," Free noted that many of the small flocks in Nebraska are composed of pullets.

Pullets are of better quality both shell and Interior than those laid by older hens Free nild two facton contribute to a misleading impression of the number of poultry on farms in Nebraska: 1. More and more chickens are reared and kept inside buildings now with the result that the casual ohserver driving down the road doesn't see as many chickens on fee range as in the past. 2. Some centralization of flocks rat taxen place, witn only one farm In three having chlcksn when compared to farm flock popula tions of teveral yean ago. "There have been 10 million ch'Ckens On Nebraska farms for the past 3-4 years," Free conctud "and egg production reached i record high In 1960."

Seen from the consumer finlnt of view, this ill wind becomes a windfall. With dressed turkeys selling for less than hamburger, this one-time luxury bird, traditionally reserved for one or two holiday dinners each year, now furnishes bountiful eating for family, restaurant, and institution al use without bending the food budget all out Of shape. U.S. should have pushed over wall WORCESTER, Mass.

(AP) -Sen. Barry Goldwater, says the United States should have pushed over the Berlin dividing wall "when It was Only one brick high and then backed off to lee what would happen." Military men have told him nothing would have happened, Goldwater said. "Now It's too late." he said In a lecture at Holy Cross College Wednesday night, CREDIT FARM-CITY WEEK Hie rising retail cost of goods which make up the "Consumer Food Basket" provides for great deal of misunderstanding among form and city residents, and Is an appropriate subject of interest during Farm-City Week. The Consumer Food Basket represents the volume of food purchased during one year by in average urban family, explains Everett E. Peterson, Extension farm economist at the University of Nebraska.

In 1947-49, the typical "market basket" of food cost $940, of tfhich the farmer got $46P. By 1961, that same basket cost $1060. but the farmer wai gettinn onlv $396. Thul, from 1947 49 to 1961, the farmer' share went up $190, as shown above. Marketing Costs The farmer isn't getting rich at the expense of the consumer.

Last year, he received only 39 cents of each $1 spent for farm-grown food. As Indicated In the drawing above, marketing Costs have accounted for the lion's share of the rlStf in the retail cost of food. while the farm value of goods has actually dropped over the past decade. Since 1949, due to the "price-coit squteie," prices received by the farmei for his crops and livestock dropped 12 per cent. But prices he pays for equipment, Supplies and services have gone up 20 per cent.

Bcrause they actually spent more dollars at the grocery store than they did a few. years ago, most people find it hard to believe ther food prices have not risen substantially, Peterson points out.

Finigan, State Director of Agriculture, was given the assignment of finding the whoppln' big gobbler by Nebraska's Governor Frsnk B.

Morrison, when the latter accepted the challenge of Texas Governor Price Daniel to compete for turkey honors. The Nebraska agricultural chief met and exchanged greetings with 6,000 Broad-breasted Bronze torn turkeys in one huge, hoisy flock last week as he paid a call on Lloyd I. Bevans of Waverly, Neb. Mr. Bevans, one of the state's principal turkey growers, disposes of his entire production each year and disclaimed any chance of owning the prize-winning giant gobbler, advising Director Finigan to look further among flocks con taining older birds arrived over from season to season, The Bevans enterprise Is turning out about 90,000 'turkeys this OS i I Productlin Cri.lt SMKintjpr iSffe By Pearle F.
