The President asked the Far mers Union leaders to keep in close and frequent con sultation with him and the Department of Agriculture. “We trust your judgement and need your advice even if we cannot entirely agree,”he said. “We’re approachable.” In an opening session with' Vice President Mondale and Secretary Bergland, the Farmers Union presidents were told that President Carter is committed to make international commodity Cow [Continued from Page 1} program. He pointed out the economic value realized by Pennsylvania from 'the dairying industry. “We are the dairy state that we are because our families work harder and try harder. Mollie has helped to keep us in the top five dairy states in the nation,” said Kerstetter. “If Mollie is to be congratulated, the family that raised her is to be respected even more.” “If you walked a mile for every gallon of milk that Mollie produced, you’d walk to the moon,” Kerstetter calculated. Mollie received a number of awards during the program. Included were a framed photo and pedigree from the National Holstein Association and a photo of her Excellent son, Woodbine Milkman from the United Breeders. Other speakers during the evening event included James Pound, director of Extension for the Holstein- Friesian Association of America; William Nichol, executive secretary of the Pennsylvania Holstein The quiet leader in synthetic lubrication AMS/OlLhas been producing synthet ic lubricants long enough 10 become the world s largest producer of syn Ihehc lubricants for automotive and farm use Discover the difference synthetic AMS/OIL can make Ash your AMS/OIL dealer how super slippery long last mg AMS/OIL lubricants increase fuel economy and power output reduce wear friction and heat plus ease sub-tero operation Sm your AMS/OIL dfllv MEL CALDWELL Rle 1 Indian Market Rd MißersviDe.

The Tuesday afternoon meeting did not resolve a fundamental question in volving the contention of Carter and Berland that the U.S. wheat support levels could not go above $2.25 a bushel because we would cease to be competive in world markets. Bergland, and later Carter, had contended that a U S. wheat support of $2.25 a bushel is the rough equivalent, because of transportation and currency differencesrto the Canadian gets Association; David Yoder, general manager of Atlantic Breeders Cooperative; and John T.

Fanners Union officials responded that the Canadian initial price-guarantee has litttle significance as an indicator of actual selling prices of Canadian wheat. “The price that counts is the selling price set by the Canadian wheat board,” said Robert G. Lewis, National Secretary of Fanners Union and chief economist of that organization. “In all but two or three of the past 40 years, actual selling prices for Canadian wheat have been higher than the initial guarantee. Last year, the Canadian government in creased its initial guarantee from $3.00 to $3.75 per bushel at the time the harvest was beginning. The Canadian system is a pool, and the initial price guarantee is not all comparable to the U.S. support loan rate. My in formation from both government and producer sources is that the Canadian and Australian wheat boards are eager to raise their selling prices, if we would raise ours. It is the low U.S. support and market price that is depressing the world trading price for what.” President Dechant warned that the low U.S. wheat loan rate seriously compromises chances to negotiate an international wheat agreement with a minium price higher than $2.25 a bushel.

Told of the credit crisis attributed by Farmers Union to the Iqw levels of price support, -Carter expressed concern about the problem. “It all gets back to prices,” said the Farmers Union leaders. Carter announced -that he has asked Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns and Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal to ascertain why loan funds for agricultural purposes appear insufficient in Nebraska, Colorado and other states. The President expressed confidence that a good team had been put together in USDA, explaining that the process had been slow because he had insisted on being careful and respon sible and had imposed strict guidelines on conflicts of interest. “I have been President less than three months and have had to make more than 1,400 important ap pointments,” he explained. -“I thought it was a wor thwhile meeting,” said Albert Mellinger, chairman of the Advisory Board of the Pennsylvania Farmers Union. “It was inconclusive, yet I feel we have reason to feel encouraged!.” t , t * ' $ ~fi * v * *'■ 'i.
