Orville K. Sweet, Des Moines, lowa, said the bureaucracy is aided and abetted by “self-appointed consumer antagonists trained in the tactics of bureaucratic guerilla warfare.” “Enough history has been written,” he said, “to con vince us that the misdirected consumer movement, if not checked, will coax the producer to produce himself into oblivion and drive the country toward bankrup tcy.” He said that while the production of food and fiber is vital to the health and welfare of the country, government is much more sensitive to the demands of consumer antagonists than to the pleas of producers. “For too long we have thought that we are minding our own business when in actuality someone else was plotting our future,” Sweet said. He suggested the solution to this dilemma may be found in efficient, purposeful producer organizations and in inspired leadership. “Organization,” Sweet said, “is the new frontier m commodity group progress.” He said producers can maintain a contact with and SflYffilH RBISTINC OH YUM FMM DON'T WASTE IT ROAST IT This little piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed home, This little piggy had ROASTED SOYBEANS MOLDY GRAIN REST' hardware of a door manufac turer.

He noted also that there are now 45,000 trade and professional organizations in - tne United States and the success of each depends in large part on how efficiently they solve members’ problems and how well they let the members know what they are doing. “Probably the most unique characteristic of civilized man,” Sweet stated, “is to organize to accomplish things collec -tively that he can’t ac complish individually; but to do so without the threat of inhibiting freedom of choice and personal rights.” P°' •RED - CONTACT US NOW - ANNOUNCING - New Portable Soybean Roasting Unit located in Rising Sun, MD Owned & Operated by; ALLEN SUMMERS RD HZ, Box 67, Rising Sun, MD 21911 Phone 301-658-6103 PLANT NOW FOR BENEFITS OF RAISING & FEEDING YOUR OWN PROTEIN.
