Letters To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
I am afraid 1 cannot ac
cept the finding m the article
entitled “Food is still a
Bargain in the USA” m your
October 11 issue.
Considering the fact that
we are a self sufficient
country in food and most
other necessities, I doubt
very much that food
especially in this country is a
bargain when one considers
the meager profit that
farmers in this country
receive for their labors and
produce; someone is making
a gigantic profit from the
citizens of this country.
The price comparison is
absolutely ridiculous in view
of the fact of the current
difference and more
especially the outstanding
fact that the great majority
of countries mentioned in the
comparison figures import
most of their food and a big
percentage of other
necessities to exist in today’s
world.
Let’s also take into effect
that ten years ago the
English pound was worth 240
pence whilst today are to
their acceptance of a
currency more adoptable to
the financial necessities of
the Common Market. The
English pound is worth only
100 pence, i.e. unnecessary
inflation.
Then one must also con
sider that 10 years ago there
was 2% dollars to the British
pound while today there isn’t
2 dollars to the pound.
This type of figurative
confusion reminds me that
recently some of our
legislators during all the talk
of an energy crisis,
suggested that the price of
gasoline in this counry
should be computable with
European prices, again no
thought of the fact that
single unports most of its oil
which we only import about
25 percent they also failed to
take into account that in
spite of the fact, that all our
weights and measurements
are based on the English

system except m the few
instances where we con
verted to illegal profits, such
as when one pulls into a gas
station m Canada the British
Isles and Europe, one gets 21
gallons of gas to our ap
proximate 18 gallons here in
the U.S.
All this would boil down to
the fact that the smart alexs
of this country are juggling
figures to dupe the public.

Dear Editor;
This week we thoroughly
enjoyed the animal rights
article by Debbie Koontz.
We’ve lived on farms nearly
sixty years. We raised
horses, cattle, hogs,
chickens and other fowls
found on a farm.
We hate animal abuse.
This includes the manner in
which cattle are handled at
auctions.

friends have seen the article
and commented, all good
remarks! Very nice story.

Denny said reserve I
contains gram entered into
the program before January
7, 1960..
When a commodity is
called from the reserve,
fanners have 90 days to
settle the account, Denny
said. Farmers may do this,
he said, either by repaying
their government price
support loan or by turning
the commdity over to USDA.
The revision is necessary,
Denny said, to be certain
that market conditions
reflect a stable or rising
price trend and to provide
conformity between the
reserve programs.
