Beattie Speaks On
Agriculture Awareness
The need for ample food
supplies is creating a new
awareness of agriculture in
America, according to Dr.
James M. Beattie, Dean of
the College of Agriculture at
The Pennsylvania State
University.
Addressing the annual
Forage and Seed Conference
November 25 in Hershey, Dr.
Beattie indicated several
factors are directing at
tention to agriculture.
Among these, he said are
high food prices, potential
food shortages, an end to
rigid production controls, the
energy crisis, and booming
export sales.

“The new awareness of
agriculture came first,
perhaps, to young people
who are enrolling in record
numbers in our College of
Agriculture curriculums.
Enrollments have increased
135 per cent during the past
four years, indicating a new
interest in professions
related to agriculture,” he
stated.

People everywhere and in
all walks of life are the
beneficiaries of land-grant
university research and
extension. Dean Beattie
affirmed. If there is, indeed,
a new interest and
awareness of agriculture,
some of this interest will
have to be shown in in
creased support for the
programs of land-grant
institutions, he observed.
“There has been a
broadening and expansion of
programs within the College

of Agriculture. We are
working in new areas, with
new clientele. The changes
are reflected in the research
we do, the students we teach,
and the Extension work that
we pursue," he stated.
He pointed out that the
Cooperative Extension
Service still provides an
educational outreach into
every county of the Com
monwealth - providing in
formation and programs of a
practical nature for fanners,
homeowners, and all aspects
of family life.
He added that Extension
specialists and county
agents are also heavily in
volved in an Expanded
Nutrition Education
Program for low-income
families, community
resource development work,
and in training rural Penn
sylvanians for effective
community leadership.
“Studies of environmental
quality, and the impacts of
advances in technology,
have been receiving more
attention. We are studying
the problems of air and
water pollution; working
with communities, farm
producers and processors to
alleviate waste disposal
problems; seeking both biol
ogical and safe chemical
controls to curb forest and
crop pests; and exploring
new areas of consumer
education, food safety, and
human nutrition.”
