Officials of USDA’s
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS)
said changes in the Federal
code, effective Nov. 7,
restrict Imports of car
casses, meat and other
products-including non
hatching eggs-from coun
tries where exotic Newcastle
disease is known to occur.
Previously only products of
poultry and some closely -
related game birds were
restricted: other sections of
the federal code regulate
imports of live birds and
hatching eggs.

APHIS officials said the
amended regulations will
help to prevent the rcln
troduction of exotic
Newcastle disease, a highly
destructive infection of
poultry and other birds. One
major outbreak in southern
California during 1972-73
resulted in the destruction of
over 12-million birds before
the disease was eradicated.
The amended regulations
provide that:
Poultry disease sur
veillance and inspection in
exotic Newcastle-infected
countries must meet APHIS
standards and follow
procedures used suc
cessfully in the United States
before imports of non
hatching eggs will be per
mitted.
Flocks from which non
hatching eggs originate and
neighboring flocks must be
found free of disease, and all
shipments must be disin
fected and packed according
to prescribed procedures.
Carcasses, meat and
products of poultry or other
birds must be packed in
hermetically sealed con
tainers and cooked by
commercial methods after
packing so they may be
stored without refrigeration.
Carcasses of game birds
(migratory species of ducks,
geese, pigeons, and doves)
may be imported if they
have been eviscerated and
the heads and feet removed.
Museums, educational
institutions or other
establishments may import
carcasses or products if they
demonstrate that they can
store, process and disinfect
the materials without in
troducing disease into this
country.
Any other imports of the
regulated products may be
made only with the approval
of the APHIS deputy ad
ministrator for veterinary
services on a case by case
basis.
In addition, the amended
regulations enlarge the list
of foreign countries that are
considered free of exotic
Newcastle disease and
therefore exempt from these
regulations. Formerly only

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Nov. 23,1974 —
Eastern Head Says
Dairymen Require
Stable Milk Prices
"A hungry world needs
food and the American
farmer needs an incentive to
produce that food,” ex
claimed John C. York,
General Manager of Eastern
Milk Producers cooperative
in Syracuse.
The world-wide cry for
expansion of farm
production will only come
about after farmers are
given adequate price in
centives, noted York.
However, equally important
is that once expansion is
developed, the government
must be prepared to
guarantee a stable price and
provide storage for the
expanded harvests, he
stressed.
The dairy leader was
quoted as saying, “To en
courage farmers to produce
with no assurance of stable
prices after they produce,
could spell suicide to the
agricultural industry. Prices
that swing too far in either
direction will only create
disruption in both the
production place and the
marketplace. Essentially
this is what has happened to
the dairy industry. Last
year, after the price freeze
was lifted, farm milk prices
rose rapidly. Then sub
standard imported foreign
products were brought into
the United States by our
government, and from
March to July of this year,
dairy farm prices tumbled
by as much as $1.82 per
hundredweight. This is yo-yo
pricing.
Canada was listed; eight
other exotic Newcastle-free
nations have now been ad
ded: Australia, Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, New
Zealand, Norway, Republic
of Ireland and Sweden.
Notice of the action is
scheduled to be published in
the Nov. 7 Federal Register.

“It is easy for people not
engaged or involved in
agricultural production to
talk about managing
agriculture and producing
food for the world. It is quite
different to develop a
program to provide for
stable agricultural prices
essential to our economy.
Our agricultural production
is being used as a trade
weapon to aid our balance of
payments problems.
“Fanners cannot be ex
pected to produce food for
the world and pay for the
cost of inventorying it
without U.S. taxpayers
paying their share of the
costs. Currently, the dairy
industry has a sizeable in
ventory of cheese and non
fat dry milk pwoder created
by yo-yo pricing and yo-yo
programs emanating out of
Washington. Much of the
storage cost and resale
losses of these dairy
products will be a burden to
the farmer. He is already
strapped by reduced farm
prices on one hand and in
flationary costs on the other.
The United States and the
world over will be better off
if the general public and
political leaders in this
country quickly understand
this fundamental fact.
“Food banks and food
reserves are essential. They
were part of our agricultural
system in the past. But,
unfortunately, they were
eliminated because our
leaders were looking back
ward-not forward.
“Farmers have not
engaged in a nationwide
strike, nor have they mar
ched on Washington, or
invaded the Office of the
Secretary of Agriculture.
They are orderly, hard
working people who must be
rewarded for their efforts.
Their patience is being
pressed to a point of despair.
They must have assurance
from our Government that
they will receive stable
prices; that a boom in
production will not lead to a
bust in prices.
“This is a national
responsibility.
