Few people may realize that the energy crisis is gripping the country with doomsday predic- tions of gasoline rationing and cutoffs of electricity can have a profound effect on farmers, and consequently, the nation’s food supply. In ithe drive for greater ef- ficiency, the farmer has been lured into using sophisticated technological methods. I have always felt this mechanization went far beyond what was need- ed. The result was price-de- pressing surpluses and heavy farm debt because of oversized machines. At any rate, a fuel shortage ‘will boost the costs of almost everything the farmer uses in his production—all types of pe- troleum fuels, synthetic rubber products, insecticides and fumi- gation materials, steel and metal products used in farm machinery, cars and trucks, electricity and so on down the line. The only good I can see in this disastrous situation is that the family farmers using much less expensive and less complex machinery will be placed in a better competitive situation. What is needed immediately, if we are seriously concerned about farm inflation, is federal protection of the family farm- ers’ supplies of fuel and electri- city. Farmers should be given priority in any scarcity situa- tion. Further, price ceilings should be placed on the oil, gas, coal and other energy industries so that they do not make extra- ordinary profits during the cur- rent crisis. It is quite evident that we face an energy shortage but whether we will be taking steps to cor- rect this by researching other fuels or not is a question that concerns me. 1 am afraid that the fuel monopolies will use the crisis to get the federal government to make available to them at bar- gain prices our few remaining have. Donald Lawson Donald M. Lawson, 24, son of Mr. and Mrs. William M. Lawson, 86 Perrin Ave. Shavertown, recently was pro- moted to Army First Lieutenant in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Lt. Lawson is adjutant of the 1st Signal Battalion. The Lieutenant received his B.S. degree in 1970 from Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre. What gives rise to these fears is that in the midst of the Ad- ministration sounding the energy crisis alarm, it sees fit to cut off $10 million that was allo- cated to the Environmental Protection Agency in the 1974 budget for the development of technology to reduce sulfur emissions. Gov. Shapp has esatenlien that research in converting coal to liquid fuel has been sadly ig- nored. The Governor makes the point that Pennsylvania is rich in coal deposits, sufficient to offset any current energy crisis, if only the proper research is done to cut down on sulfur emis- sions. One further point on this energy crisis is that agriculture itself can play an important role in solving the country’s fuel needs provided we are willing to do some research. Sen. Carl: 'T. Curtis (R- Nebraska) ina recent speech on the Senate floor said that the nation’s historic problem of sur- plus grains and the current energy shortage could be solved together by converting grain to alcohol which in turn can be converted to motor fuel. Sen. Curtis noted that the petroleum interests had stead- fastly opposed any effort, or even discussion, of transform- ing farm crops into motor fuel. One argument advanced is that these conversions would be too costly. But Sen. Curtis asserts that these cost estimates are not final. In fact, many researchers believe cheaper methods of con- version can be found. Sen. Curtis quotes from a scientific journal which says in part that “with few exceptions not had the intensive and sys- tematic laboratory attention that has been given to those from other sources. “When utilization research in agriculture has had the benefit of adequate expenditures and large teams of workers, the re- sults have been outstanding—as in the case of commercial methods for producing penicil- lin, frozen concentrated orange juice, nylon from corn cobs, various products from soy- beans.” The journal goes on to say rived from crops and fiber and animal wastes is enormous. We just need a little imagination and some wisely spent research money. 1 hope we don’t have to wait until fuel costs are so high as to wreck our economy before we stop listening to the oil lobby and investigate this untapped agricultural resource.
