WASHINGTON - Every month the
Bureau of Ijibor Statistics releases from
Washington its report on the coat of
living. It usually shows an increase, and
invariably the increase reflects a rise in
the cost of food.
Buried in the cost of food you are
putting on the table is the rising cost of
energy , not only the energy needed to
produce food, but the considerable
amount needed for processing, shipping,
storing and marketing the food.
Energy coats on the farm are going up
for basically the same reason you find
your fuel bills increasing. We have
become too dependent on imported oil. In
fact. 48 percent of the petroleum we
consume comes from overseas, and the
pricing of that oil is out of U.S. hands. It
is set by the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Farmers depend heavily on petroleum
to operate their equipment, to run their
irrigation pumps and for use in fertilizers
and pesticides. In addition, many farm
ers also use natural gas for irrigation and
drying their crops. This fuel resource is
expensive and in short supply in some
parts of the country.
There are many instances of farms
throughout the country where the costs
of natural gas for irrigation and crop
drying have gone up as much as 300
percent over the last several years, and
that cost continues to rise. In a telephone
survey conducted recently by the Agri
culture Council of America in cooperation
with the Alliance to Save Energy,
farmers reported that their overall fuel
costs have gone up twelve to twenty
percent in the past year, and they expect
this trend to continue through the next
farming cycle.
Since fuel expenditures on the farm
run to at least twenty percent of the
farmer's total operating costs, annual fuel
increases as large as twelve percent
constitute a very heavy burden which the
farmer cannot absorb by himself - it is
passed on to the consumer.
Nevertheless, the farmer has been
very innovative in conserving energy.
One Texas farmer reported that he built
a $750 solar grain dryer to replace one
that burned natural gas. Now his costs to
dry grain are one-tenth of what they
were. Another farmer is switching to
diesel burning equipment as rapidly as
his gasoline operated machines wear out.
More and more windmills are appear
ing on the farm - where historically the
first practical use of these devices was
made for pumping water, and in some
instances generating electricity for the
farm household.
But there is a limit to the amount of
corner cutting a farmer will do. Some, no
longer willing to bear the increasing
energy costs, are now farming less land.
Rather than tilling, they are turning
much acreage over to cattle grazing, a
lesser strain on their costly energy
resources.
Actually only three percent of the
nation's energy is consumed on the farm.
The real kicker comes in the overall
energy costs in the total food industry.
Agribusiness - farming, processing, ship
ping, storing, marketing, etc. - accounts
for an estimated sixteen percent of all the
energy consumed in the U.S.
So it
figures that when energy costs go up,
grocery bills also climb.
So long as the cost of energy used in
agribusiness continues to rise (and that
includes the increasing coats of gasoline
and diesel fuel in the 18-wheelers that
bring the food to the market), these
increases will be reflected in the costs of
food and fibers which come from Farm
land U.S.A.
And the costs do not end at the
checkout counter at your friendly neigh
borhood supermarket. If you drove to
the market to pick up your groceries,
there is the cost of gasoline for the
roundtrip. When you begin the final
cycle of meal preparation from refrigera
tor to table, you have expended other
fuels to cut, clean, freeze, cook, warm
over, and otherwise prepare that food for
its final consumption.
These costs show up in your monthly
utility bills, and utility costs are going up
for domestic use as rapidly as in agribusi
ness. So up and down the line, from the
farmer to the food processor to the
household manager, there is a need to
conserve energy if food prices are to be
kept within pocketbook range.

Fighting old and new pneumonia
Pneumonia is the fifth leading cause of
death in the United States. Although
some types of pneumonia can be specifi
cally treated, others cannot. But now it
may be possible to prevent one type of
pneumonia. Very soon.
Half of all pneumonias are thought to
be caused by viruses. And as yet, there is
no effective treatment or prevention for
these types. But the story is dramatically
different for pneumonias caused by bar
teria. because these can be treated with
antibiotics, l^ast year the Public Health
Service began testing a vaccine to pre
vent pneumococcal pneumonia, which is
the most common type of bacterial
pneumonia. The vaccine, which should be
available in early 1978. is intended
primarily for use among persons over 50
years old and those with diabetes and
other chronic disorders such as lung and
heart conditions.
Antibiotics can be effective when the
exact microbial cause is pinpointed, at
though the clinical results are not yet in
on the effectiveness of antibiotics in
:
K a.
treating the new type of bacterial pneu
monia called legionnaire's disease. How
ever, antibiotics can treat other kinds of
pneumonia caused by mycoplasmas - the
smallest free-living agents of disease in
humans.
According to the American Lung Asso
ciation, pneumonia - an inflammation of
lung tissues - often follows colds and flu
or develops when the cleaning mecha
nisms of the lungs are impaired. The
disease can develop from a new infection
or result from complications of another
illness. Some pneumonias can be caused
by inhaling gases, dust, foreign sub-,
stances, liquids, or oily medications. One
of the most important preventive mea
sures is to be alert to any symptoms of
respiratory trouble that lasts more than a ,
few days or weeks.
