WASHINGTON, D.C. — Giant
corporations have by no means
taken over the business of farm-
ing in the United States. It is
true that American farms con-
tinue to get fewer in number
and bigger in size, but the vast
majority of the nation's produce
is still being gTOwn what can
properly be called family
farms.
In a report based on the 1969
census of Agriculture, the Cen-
sus Bureau says that the num-
ber of farms declined by more
than 427,000 in the preceding
five years.
However, most of the farms
that disappeared were bought up
than taken out of production,
with the result that total farm
acreage went down by only about
four percent over the five years.
Significantly, farm output went
up about 10 per cent during the
same period.
The decline in the number of
farms is a trend that began in
1935. That year the Census
Bureau counted 6.8 million by
1950, to 3.7 million by 1959,
and to 3.1 million by 1964. In
1969 the total was 2.7 million.
In all, there are approximate-
ly 22,000 farms owned by cor-
porations. But fewer than 2,000
of the corporations had more
than 10 stockholders.
The remaining 20,000 or so
are, to all intents and purposes,
family farms which have incor-
porated to gain some of the tax
and other benefits available un-
der the corporate structure.
So the family farm is still very
much with us and I trust always
will be.

KOREANS REMEMBER — Re-
cently I received a letter from
an old friend from the Korean
War days. He is Woo Ryong
Kim, now head of a school in
Songtaru Ills letter says he
understands that changed inter-
national circumstances have led
to the U.S. Government's effort
to bring about friendlier rela-
tions between the free world and
the communist nations.
But he remembers South Ko-
rea's bitter experience of the
early 1950s, when the country
was overrun by communists
from the north aided by Chin-
ese "volunteers." He reports
that he warns his students that
communism is still a threat to
freedom.
Kim also sent me two color
photographs, showing the Stars
and Stripes being raised by two
Boy Scouts while three students
at his school perform on their
bugles.
I had the honor of presenting
the Flag and the bugles to the
school. So, I was very proud of
the respect they showed our
Flag, and the friendship which
prevails between our countries
and our people.

FOOD FOR THE ELDERLY —
Under a program enacted by
Congress earlier this year,
more than 250,000 hot meals
will be fed to elderly Americans
during the fiscal year which be-
gan July 1.
Regulations proposed by the
Department of Health, Educa-
tion, and Welfare stipulate
that a department of office of
aging will administer the pro-
gram in each state.
A minimum of $500,000 wiU
be received by each state to op-
erate the program during the
year, with additional allocations
to be determined on the basis
of the state's elderly popula-
tion.
At least 70 per cent of the
funds made available for local
projects must be spent to pro-
vide meals.
Persons over 60 and their
spouses will be eligible and
cannot be denied a meal for lack
of money. No means tests may
be imposed on those who meet
the age requirement.

JUICE STANDARDS SET —Of
interest to our area are the
Agriculture Department's pro-
posed standards for grades of
blended grapefruit and orange
juice. The grades would set
quality levels for the voluntary
use of producers, buyers and
consumers.
The proposed standards al-
low for two types of juice:
single strength and reconsti-
tltuted products made princi-
pally from fruit concentrates.
The standards call for two
grades, A and B, based largely
on the color of the blended juice,
defects (such as small seeds,
suspended pulp, or other harm-
less extraneous matter), and
flavor.
