—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. March 24. 1973 50 Russian Grain Sale Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz said he has been informed by Attorney General Richard G. Meindienst that the Department of Justice has completed its in vestigation and evaluation of allegations of impropriety with respect to the sale of grain to Russia last year. “The Justice Department reported that is has found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of any present or former government employee, and no criminal fraud on the part of the grain companies involved,” Secretary Butz said. The Secretary, who had high praise for the FBl’s in vestigation, said the Department of Agriculture’s own Commodity Exchange Authority and In spector General also had con ducted investigations which had reached the same conclusions. “I have been confident from the beginning that the Depart ment of Agriculture and its employees, past and present, would be given a clea,i bill of health on the sale of grain to Russia,” Secretary Butz said. “Now that the emotional ac cusations have been swept aside by a thorough investigation, we can properly evaluate the grain sale as the historic, highly beneficial and successufl action that it is proving to be.” Officials in the Department of Agriculture estimate that since last July 1 the Soviet Union has purchased approximately 440 million bushels of U.S. wheat, about 275 million bushels of U.S. corn, and 35 million bushels of U.S. soybeans. The value of these purchases, all handled through private exporters, is valued at more than $1 billion. The Department of Agriculture reported that through March 2 the following amounts of grain involved in the sale to the U S.S.R. had been inspected for export since last July I: Hardware Is Dangerous To Cows Cows can die becuase of the hardware they’ve eaten. Dairymen can avoid this costly misfortune by picking up nails, broken glass, or scraps of wire that lie in secluded fence strip areas, remind dairy specialists at The Pennsylvania State University. Cows often die of lead poisoning also. Dairymen should make sure old cans are not left where their cows can reach them.
