Farm exports must be retained,
Farm Bureau head tells Rotarians
A Te\a.c Farm Bureau, offi-
cial (old the Bosque County
(Clifton) notary Club Thursday
that farm exports must be re-
tained it farmers and ranchers
are to survive
Warren Newberry. TFB exe-
cutive director, told Rotarians
that one-fourth of this coun-
try’s agricultural production
goes into export. He said R5
per cent of the wheat, two-
fifth of the rice and cotton
22 per cent of grain sorghum
production is exported
"This means that farmer
and ranchers dept ml upon ex-
ports for 2') per rent of their
income, Newberry said
He painted a gloomy picture
for agriculture without farm
exports.
“Without these exports, pro
dliclion would have to be cut.
Costs would increase, farmer:,
w ould leave the land. ’ he said
“If we think oil shortages arc
serious, a food shortage would
be the real problem without
exports."
Newberry related the contro-
versy last .ear when long-
shoremen boycotted grain ship-
ments to the Sov iet Union and
when George Means infln
eneed a temporary export em-
bargo.
"Farmers and ranchers ana
the public cannot permit orga
nized labor to use the second-
ary boycott to decide what
farm products can be sold for
what price," Newberry said
On another subject. New-
berry said that a major chal-
lenge facing all of the people
of this country is the role of
government
“A major problem is a grow
jug fedora' and state bureau
eracy will- do and death con-
trol over every phase of om
lives,” the f arm Bureau lead-
er said.
WARREN NEWBERRY
“Consider these facts," he
said. "There are more federal
vmnloyees than there are full
time farmers and ranchers. Of
the more than 2.8 million fed-
eral employees, 90 per cent arc
firmly entrenched by Civil
Service.”
Newberry said federal sal-
aries were $852 billion iri
197f double what they were 10
years earlier.
The farm leader mentioned
that proposals in Congress
would provide for rompulsary
union membership for postal
employees. He said ihcsc pro-
posals are part of an overall
plan by organized labor to pro-
vide for collective bargaining
and the right to strike for all
public employees -- federal,
state and local.
“1 am strongly against giv-
ing the strike weapon to pub-
lic servants at any level of
government," Newberry said.
