Soybeans as Protein Source
The world will have to depend
on soybeans for future sources of
protein but farmers will only
produce needed supplies with the
right incentives including a free
market place, according to
Carroll Brunthaver, USDA
assistant secretary for in
ternational commodity
programs
In his talk to the American
Soybean Association convention
Brunthaver also re-emphasized
that the USDA “will not impose
export controls short of some
unforeseen disaster to this year’s
growing crops”.
“For the long run we do expect
the soybean market to be strong.
We can further increase farm
production when the- incentives
are there Farmers will have to
Piglet Survival
To Be Studied
Scientists at the University of
Georgia’s Agricultural Ex
periment Stations, Athens, will
study the effects of the dam’s diet
on the survival rate of piglets
under a cooperative agreement
with the U S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
USDA’s Agricultural Research
.Service (ARS) will provide
$24,000 for the two year study.
The Georgia scientists will
study the effects of dietary
energy in the dam’s diet on the
energy reserves and survival
rate of piglets during the first 30
days following birth Also, the
effect of energy source on sur
vival and the effect of source of
fatty acids in diets on the per
formance of newborn and weaned
piglets will be studied.
The high death loss of piglets
shortly after birth indicates a
need for this research.
Dr Robert AL Seerley,
associate professor of animal
science at the university, is the
project leader and Dr. Lowell T
Frobish of ARS’ Non-Ruminant
Animal Nutrition Laboratory ,

make their decisions in the
market place. If there is one
thing that the last two years have
taught us, it is that the market
place makes more effective
decisions than the government.”
During his talk he summarized
the outlook for other protein
sources He said that both world
peanut and fish meal production
continue to be too erratic to be
dependable. At the same time no
major increase in sunflower meal
is predicted. Rapeseed
production will continue to in
crease “But far too little to meet
the protein demand growth”.
“We do not want the new farm
program to interfere with the
farmers’ choice of cropping
plans. We think the attractive
target prices and market prices
will work together to encourage
full production in 1974.
“Already the export control on
old-crop soybeans has severly
damaged our position. France
has publicly said the Common
Market must have an oilseeds
policy to protect itself in periods
of scarcity when it cannot depend
on imports from the U.S.
“Japan and Western Europe
have told us they understood they
would be free to bid on an equal
basis with us and the rest of the
world in periods of tight supplies.
They have been shocked by the
export controls on soybeans, and
are terribly fearful controls will
be extended in the future, in our
position as an exporter, we would
pay a very high price for export
controls.”

John McGuire, Chief of the
Forest Service, said his agency
will work through the State
Foresty and other agencies in
implementing the program. The
Forest Service and the states
already have a number of
cooperative programs which are
working well.
Chief McGuire pointed out that
the latest National Timber
Review made by the Forest
Service stressed that the best
opportunity for increasing timber
supplies to meet future demands
at acceptable prices was in
tensification of growth rates on
the nearly 300 million acres of
private, non-industrial com
mercial forest lands. These lands
comprise about 60 percent of the
Nation’s commercial forest land
base.
Under the program, lan
downers will be encouraged both
to plant trees on non-stocked land
.and to perform forestry practices
to improve the condition of
existing forest stands. The
measures are part of a long term
effort to insure an adequate

Forest Stands
Chief McGuire said a shrinking
forest resource base and rising
demand for forest products and
related benefits point to the need
for more efficient management
of the Nation’s forest lands. He
pointed out that public forests are
under increasing pressures to
emphasize non-timber uses and
that industry forests are
producing at near capacity now.
Thus, he said, the best op
portunity to meet the needs for
increased timber supplies that
will be needed in the future lies
with small, private landowners.
