Bergland wants
fair policy
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Secretary of Agriculture Bob
Bergland told a group of
farm editors Monday that
they mutually share the
same concern as he in
wanting to formulate a
national food policy that is
acceptable and fair to far
mers and equally acceptable
to 215 million American
consumers.
Addressing the annual
spring meeting of the
Newspaper Farm Editors at
a luncheon here, Secretary
Bergland said: “Your
responsibilities as com
municators encompass the
whole spectrum of society
all those who use food and
fiber and that includes
everyone.
“You are, as I am,” the
secretary said, “concerned
more than with the problems
of fanners, and seeing to it
that our agricultural
production is maintained to
meet food commitments at
home and abroad.
“We are also concerned
with a workable food policy
and the effect of that policy
on our economy, our quality
of life, the availability of
food at reasonable prices for
consumers, the use of
energy, and our in-

reserve grand champion pen
- a group of Angus cattle
which averaged 1287 pounds
per head. Another of their
entries finished second in the
Hereford division of the
show.
Titus Beam of Elverson
won the top two placings in
the Holstein class. Cattle
feeders from the area
consigned 47 lots for the
semi-annual show, which
was judged by Larry and
Rich Marshall, buyers for
Cross Brothers. Prices paid
for the animals ranged from
the high of $43 to a low of
$39.60 per hundredweight.
manipulation, and cultural
management, Dr. Fellows
said. Plant proteins, esp
cially from legumes and
pulses, can provide a sub
stantial part of a person’s
necessary protein
requirement.
Animals must be used
more rationally and con
scientiously in converting
plant material into human
food products, stated Dr.
Fellows. Meat and milk
products from various
animals provide desirable
food that is high in the
essential amino acids
commonly low or lacking in
today’s plant food. Forage
crops and waste products
from grains and other
sources must continue to be
converted into human food
by animals, too.
Non-arable areas may be
made food productive
through the rational use of
animals, he said. In this way,
more effective production of
human offd could be
achieved throughout the
world, both directly through
animal products and in
directly through improved
plant production. Fortified

temational trade balances,”
he added.
Bergland pointed out that
the professional stature of
the nation’s farm editors has
risen in recent years with a
growing interest and
awareness of the consuming
public in the importance of a
food policy acceptable to
both farmers and con
sumers.
He emphasized that the
“Department of Agriculture
will not be a captive fiefdom
of some special interest
group’’ as long as he is
secretary.

and synthetic food will play
an ever-increasing role in
meeting food demands in the
future, Dr. Fellows con
tinued.
Finally, research and
education into the problems
of population and demand
and supply for food must be
accelerated, he said.
Meanwhile, systems of law,
government, education,
transportation, com
munications, and property
ownership must adjust
themselves accordingly. The
primary goals of these
structures should be to
stabilize human population
growth and to enhance the
quality of human life within
the physical limitations of
the Earth, concluded Dr.
Fellows.
