WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NWK Mechanization Increases Difference .'-.Between large, Small U.S. feiiers By OVID A. MARTIN Associated Preu Farm Reporter WASHINGTON 11 Rapid mechanization of agriculture spurred by buge war and postwar demands is pouring luel on a long smouldering rift between "small" and "big" farmers. Declining prices of farm prod ucts are fanning the feud. Recent hearings on farm prob lems held by the Senate Agricul ture Committee in major farming areas Indicated this division may Become a major issue along with farm price supports in next year's presidential campaign. Machinery, electrification, better seeds, improved fertilizers and the like are making it possible to grow more and more crops on few er and fewer acres. Likewise, new feeds open the way to produce more meats, ggs and poultry with less ieea ana laoor. This Increased efficiency is out ting a squeeze on the smaller farm ers who do not have the finances to take advantage of unmoved mechanization or enough land to jusuiy ineir use. Largely because of mechaniza tion, crop surpluses have been built up. Prices have been deDressed. Naturally, the less efficient produc ers are nit naraest an dtney are, in most cases, operators of small er larms. This development has given rise to new damands that government larm policies be designed to pro. tecthe "family-type" farm. Government reports show there has been a rather sharp decline in the total number of farmers in the last 20 . years. It has been ac companied by an Increase in the average size of farms. This situation is bringing to the forefront demands of some farm ers and their leaders that the na. tion decide whether agriculture is to De regarded as merely a busi ness enterprise or as a social in. stltution to preserve a rural way oi uie. Conflicts over these two philoso. phies dominated many of the Sen. ate Committee hearings. - Typifying the viewpoint that ag. riculture is solely a business en. terprlse was the testimony given by President H. E. Slusher of the Missouri Farm Bureau Federation at a hearing at Des Moines, Iowa "Recognition should be given.' he said, "to the fact that farming is a business and not Just a way of life; that as a business, farms have become larger to make mech- On The Record KLAMATH COUNTY MARRIAGE LICENSES McINTY RE-MILLER Allen A.

O People Read SPOT ADS -you are. anlntion practical: that there Is no virtue In making small farm operators any more than in mak ing small business men; that sub sistence farmers must be dealt with as a welfare problem and not b a larm problem." Plain-spoken Daniel E. Boodry has farmed 33 years In Goshen County, Wyo. Agriculture "can take care of itself If left alone," Boodry said he suggested that farmers "hollering" about the sit uation should quit the farm. On the other hand came the complaint of R. V. Fitzgerald Jr., farmer-spokesman for his neigh. bors In Aurora uounty, s. D. "We decry the efforts of those who would foist upon the farmer any farm program which will, through economic necessity, place the' farmer into the employ of giant 'corporation' farms or into the cities there to compete In the la. bor pool as an unskilled worker," he said. Similarly, A, Lars Nelson, mas ter of the Washington State Orange, said the question that should be uppermost in the minds of all Is "Do we want to maintain the American standard of living on every type and size of farm in the nation?" "I think .that we do," he said. Those who want farming consid ered solely as a business general ly favored the flexible price sup port program of .the Elsenhower administration farm program and a minimum oi government regu lation. But those who said they wanted to preserve the small farms .advo cated price supports, at either 90 per cent or 100 per cent of parity for all farm products. Parity is the price goal of tanri programs, Only a part of the crops now are supported. None of the livestock and poultry products, or fruits and vegetables are supported. But most of the furmers would limit price support aid to what they called family-type larms. M Sao" If W U M sm M W W ftf I ONE DAY ONLY AT RICK YS JEWELERS ' .
