The women discussed a broad range of subjects related to the development of a new national food policy. In addition, they engaged in a senes of skill development activities in which they employed such methods as dramatizations and role playing. Skills stressed in cluded ways to improve meetings and com munication techniques. The group mcluded 110 women from eight states - North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Minnesota, Penn sylvania, Wisconsin, Texas and Kansas. Tony Dechant, national president of Farmers Union, told the women that the essential ingredient in a new national food policy must be programs to assure that American farmers “will be able to stay in business.” Dechant said U.S. farmers produce 50 per cent of all the THE MAN IN THE TREE And he ran before, and climbed up mto a sycamore tree to see him for he was to pass that way And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must bide at thy house And he made haste, and came down, and received him joy fully A tick of (he f ,S Arm), stationed at Kdgewood Arsenal in Maryland tick reported on research fin dings that indicate that in jections or dermal ap plications of bee venom on dogs and rnonkrjs suffering from arthritis and other ailments of the joints ap parentl) relieve the symp toms of such conditions Use of the bee venom was found to increase the bo>’s production of cortisone and also to increase the power of the heartbeat in laboratory animals used in the stud> People who work with bees have long maintained that bee venom has a beneficial effect when applied to rheumatic problems, but until now the medical profession has been reluc tant to accept this claim, dismissing it as an old-w ive’s tale gram marketed in the world, but we have no policy to assure ourselves that we will be able to continue to produce so abundantly.” The Farmers Union president criticized the policies of Secretary of Agnculture Earl Butz. “Butz says his policy is one of ‘plenty’,” Dechant said. “Well, this year the chickens have come home to roost. Farm prices are badly depressed, but it won’t cost Butz a dime. He will continue to draw his salary, while it will be costing farmers plenty.” Dechant charged that the Administration’s farm policy is based “on the weather in Russia.” He said that if there is a lack of rainfall in the USSR, “Butz is happy because the U.S. has a place to peddle its grain. But if Soviet rainfall is adequate, as it has been, American farmers are left with a lot of grain on their hands and low prices.” Dechant stressed that the U.S. needs to adopt a new food policy that recognizes the needs of both farmers and consumers. “Stability in the marketplace is vital to both,” he said.
