Today less than 10 million people live on farms and comprise only 4.5 per cent of the nation's population. "In 1935, there were 32 million people, almost 25 per cent of the U.S. population working on farms. Unfortu nately, if ranchers in Oregon and throughout the nation continue to lose money every time they sell a beef animal the decline of total numbers of farms and people on them will continue at even a more rapid rate," according to Oregon Beef Council Chairman, Richard Nichols, Roseburg, speaking at the annual ban quet of the Malheur County Livestock Association in Ontario, Oct. 11. Nichols continued, "It is also rather disturbing to note that publications such as the New York Times, Christian Science Monitor and other predominately national pub lications have indicated edi torally that it would be better to cut this nation's beef production in half and distri bute livestock feed grains direct to the people as it would perhaps be a more efficient way to consume protein. "The figures of these publi cations are using are mislead ing and inaccurate. Stability to the beef industry in Oregon and the nation is most vital to our economy. The total direct and indirect impact of Ore gon's beef industry upon this state's economy in 1973 was $747 million. This compares to $254 million total impact 10 years ago in 1964. Unfortu nately, 1974 will show a decrease of nearly 25 per cent of this state's cattle industry contribution to our economy, due primarily to consumer boycotts, beef price freezes, and overall government med dling in our industry. Artifi cial restraints and boycotts against a key commodity such as beef upsets the delicate balance between all segments of agriculture and the finan cial community." CMing a potential"domino effect," the OBC chairman declared that "turning the beef thermostat down to 68 degrees, as some advocats have proposed, in order to create grain surpluses for shipment overseas, will not solve world food shortages but will only aggravate them." Nichols pointed out that nearly every food product processed for human use also has a by-product which has little market value other than for livestock feed. Cattle feeders, by making use of EED what would otherwise be agricultural wastes, help keep down the costs of sugar, flour, processed corn and potatoes and all manner of canned and frozen vegetables and fruits. "The price cattle feeders pay for these products is tied to the price of feed grains. When feed grain is in short supply and prices relatively high, then the demand in creases for by-products. Dur ing the peak of grain prices in early 1974, the price paid for some by-products that had been selling for $30-$40 per ton, sold as high as $96 per ton," Nichols stated. The OBC chairman stated that this information was highlighted in a research report compiled by the council last month. Also speaking on the pro-i gram was ihe executive vice president of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association, Donald Ostensoe, who em phasized the need and com NOTICE GOOD SUPPLY OF ENGINE HEATERS.
