Wheat Farmers
Talk of Dilemma
The American wheat farmer is
still faced with a dilemma and
must continue to restrict his pro
duction and depend partly on
government assistance to obtain
a fair price for his wheat.
The statement was made by
Ken Kendrick, executive vice
president of the National Assoc
iation of Wheat Growers, who
spoke in Portland at the annual
meeting of the Oregon Wheat
Growers League.
Kendrick, who is also a Texas
wheat farmer, told the group the
main problem of the American
wheat farmer is his amazing
ability to continually produce
more wheat than the market will
take.
Discussing the May 21 wheat
referendum, Kendrick said he
does not believe the 52 "no"
vote means that wheat farmers
want to do away with all govern
ment wheat programs. Kendrick
said, "questionnaires . . . have
indicated that 75-80 of wheat
growers feel we must have some
kind of a wheat program . . .
they feel that some kind of a
voluntary program for wheat is
definitely needed and can be
made to work."
Kendrick urged the 11 state
wheat organizations to recom
mend a wheat program at their
conventions in the next few
weeks, and to try to agree on
one program at the national con
vention of the National Assoc
iation of Wheat Growers in Am
arillo, Texas, January 7-10. Ken
drick told the audience that he
sees the over-balance of urban
representation in Congress as the
biggest obstacle to a new wheat
bill. He said, "Many of them
(city Congressmen) interpreted
the 'no' vole as the wheat fanner
saying, 'I want nothing more to
do with government programs.'
"If we can present a united
front on a voluntary wheat pro
gram that wheat growers favor,"
continued Kendrick, "I fed we
still have a good chance to get
new wheat legislation next
spring. This will take a great
deal of work, but it can be done."
He further told the group that
he doubts if a new program, if
adopted, would equal the de
feated certificate plan's income
opportunities.
The national wheat executive
discussed the sale of wheat to
Russia, urging the state groups
to take a position on the subject
at their conventions. He said the
facts which have come to light
as a result of the sale proposal
point up the fact that, with 45
of her population engaged in ag
riculture, the Soviets still cannot
supply their food needs, while
the U. S. has a problem of agri
cuture abundance with only 8
of our population on the farm.
He said the average farm fam
ily income in the U. S. is almost
six times as much as in the
Soviet Union.

1963 Box Score:
FORD'S TOTAL PERFORMANCE TOUGHNESS
DOMINATES THE COMPETITION WORLD!
Ford has chosen the most rugged testing program cars have ever faced . . . full-scale open competi
tion on the rally and racing circuits of the world. This is the dramatic way to show that Fords have
changed . . . and the sure way to be certain they keep on changing. Changed? Just look at the record:
STOCK CAR RACING:
2-to-l margin for Ford
Ford is king of NASCAR com
petition and Ford Motor Com
pany has the NASCAR
Achievement Award to prove
it. In the '63 season, special
Ford entries won every single
race of 500 miles or longer,
scored nearly twice as many
points as any other make.
500-mile races are the ulti
mate test of inherent dura
bility and dependability. In two
other major stock car racing
associations I ml A ana mako,
Ford drivers have wra
up the 1963 championships.
SPORTS CAR ROAD RACING:
Ford V-8 power
is the new king
Here the Cobra with its spe
cial Fairlane engine emerged
as the overwhelming leader
in one short year. Cobra won
the coveted Manufacturer's
Trophy in SCCA Class A Pro
duction competition by so
wide a margin no other cars
U.S. or foreign were even in
sight And in the two major
tests this fall, the taguna
Seca and Riverside races, the
new King Cobras dusted off
the top "unlimited" cars from
all over the world.
RALLY COMPETITION:
Manufacturer's
Championship
Products of Ford Motor
Company and its world-wide
affiliates won the 1963 Manu
facturer's World Rally Cham
pionship. Ford's rally year
began when two specially
equipped Falcon V-8's startled
the automotive world in the
brutal 2500-mile Monte Carlo
Rallye. Other special Falcon
V-8's triumphed in Holland's
famed Tulip Rally, and ran
away with the Manufacturer's
Team Prize in the 4000-mile
Trans-Canada Rally.
INDIANAPOLIS:
Ford ends an era
Advanced Ford engineering
smashed precedent in the
classic Indianapolis "500."
The first time out. a light alloy
version of the Fairlane V-8
design in a totus chassis
finished second. And the next
time, in the Milwaukee "200"
it ended the reign of the tra
ditional "Indy" racing car by
leading every foot of the way
from start to finish.
PERFORMANCE & ECONOMY:
New laurels for Ford
The Mobil Economy Run
underscored Falcon's years
long reputation for thrift a
Falcon scored first in Class B
(medium-engined compacts).
And the Pure Oil Performance
Trials brought laurels to the
big Fords, which walked off
with overall wins in Classes I
and II for total performance
(economy, acceleration and
braking).

S 1964 Result:
TOTAL PERFORMANCE INSPIRES THE TOUGHEST,
SMARTEST CARS FORD EVER BUILT!
Fords have changed and that's the real
reason behind Ford's racing successes. We're
now making the longest lasting, best han
dling cars in our history. The things we've
learned from the specially equipped cars we
enter in open competition have helped make
them that way.
The inherent qualities that make the vic
torious racing car road-holding, braking,
durability, precision control, resistance to
vibration also make a car safer, stronger,
and smoother for highway use.
But prove it to yourself. Take the wheel
of any new Ford. Five minutes on the road
will show you the kind of total performance
no one else can match. '
TRY TOTAL PERFORMANCE
FOR A CHANGE!
