have, truth and scientific
fact.”

involved with agriculture as
a national concern. Data is
accumulated with effective
dissemination of these facts
to industry leaders and
policy makers rather than
repeating the message to
people in agriculture who
already know the story.

Legislation is being made
now, for what you will be
able to use your land for a
year from now. Besides land
use, herbicide and pesticides
are being banned and an
tibiotics and preservatives
are receiving strict control.
These regulations will
determine what is safe,
economical, reliable, and
convenient food stuffs for
our future, but Howes
questioned the methods of
determination for these
regulations.
“Today’s society has the
concept that modem day
agriculture is forcing cancer
upon us” Howes said as he
cited recent concepts
published in various well
known publications that
were still using theories of
the early 1900’s from Rachel
Carson’s book “Silent
Spring,” which was written
when little scientific fact
was'known. Howes cited that
in the early 1900’s the
average American life span
was 45 years. Influenza and
diptheria were some major
causes of such* a high
mortality rate. “But today
we have limited these deaths
and increased our life span
to 75 years. Cancer, a
disease related to age has
increased due to our in
creasing life span.” -
“There has been false
distinction between natural
and unnatural chemicals,”
he said. “There is an im
portant difference between
natural and man made
chemicals. Plants must
have both broken down to the
same elements to utilize

them. There are hundreds of
chemicals produced by
nature that are dangerous.
Many man-made chemicals
are the same as plants.
Plants don’t want to be
eaten,” he said. “The
’ chemicals they produce are
for their protection. Man-
made chemicals are
essentially the same.”
“Companies should in
vestigate what plants are
making and make the same”
Howes prescribed. There are
some chemicals which
decrease cancer because
they kill insects which
produce a toxin which

Howes advocated that we

government policies, and
that regulatory agencies
