WASHINGTON UPI) - Secre
tary of Agriculture Orville L.
Freeman has joined the swelling
c horus against any new wheat leg
islation this year in the event
farmers defeat the administra
tions 1964 wheat program in the
Slay 21 referendum.
"I would not sponsor any new
legislation in the event the pro
posed 1964 program is defeated,"!
Freeman told reporters.
President Kennedy earlier had
said that when the 19M program
w as authorized by Congress last
fall "no new wheat legislation was
Inlended or is needed this year."
, Administration congressional
leaders have said there will be
no new legislation in the event the
Authorized program is turned
down by producers. At least two
thirds of those voting in the ref
erendum must approve the pro
gram before it can be put into
effect.
Freeman said he didn't believe
the administration could persuade
('digress to pass new wheat legis
lation in the event the proposed
brogram is defeated.

The program calls for light pro
auction controls in return lor a
price support rate of $2 per bu.-h-
el. It larmers turn down the pro
gram, those who comply with
acreage allotments will be eligi
ble for a support rate of about
$1.23 per bushel.
Charles B. Shuman. president of
the American Farm Bureau Fed
eration, has fought the wheat pro.
gram bitterly. He has predicted it
will be defeated "in almost every
section of the country."
Freeman said he believes farm
ers will get out their pencils and
paper, do a little figuring, make
an economic judgment, and ap
prove the program strongly.
He said if the program is ap
proved "we've got the wheat
problem (of overproduction'
licked."
A recent report by the depart
ment's Economic Research Ser
vice shows that the Soviet L'nion
and her east European satellites
experienced another disappointing
agricultural year in 1962.

OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY
Dividends measured in multi
million dollar totals come from
agricultural research in Oregon
every year, a report prepared by
F. E. Price, dean and director
of agriculture at Oregon State
University, reveals.
Dramatic advances are being
made in agriculture and they're
not coming by chance. Price said.
"They're coming from research."
In terms of "no-inflation dol
lars." cash receipts from farm
marketings have doubled in Ore
gon since 1925, Price notes in his
summary on accomplishments of
the OSU Agricultural Experiment
Station. Agriculture is now a $600.-

Sagebrush land that was once

License Needed
For Egg Selling
Those eggs you sell may mean
you need a license from the Ore

This note of caution was issued
this week by the Oregon Depart

Egg producers and dealers, who

cafes and bakeries must have
permits from the department.
The license does not apply to
all producers, however.
Listed by Kenneth Carl, chief
of the Dairy and Consumer Serv
ices Division, as exceptions are:
sales made direct to consumers
or to licensed dealers; sales to
consumers by retailer, who does
not grade eggs and sells only
lo those graded by other persons,
and sales of ungraded eggs.

Juvenile grangers (ages 5 to

Shifts in crops have come with

intensive and higher-paying crops
such as peas, green beans, ber

Both farmers and consumers
benefit from the research, he em
phasized.
One farmer today in one hour
can produce what four farmers did
in the same time shortly after
World War I. That same farmer
increased his productivity three
times as fast as the worker in in
dustry between 1947 and 1958.
The average American con
sumer uses only 19 per cent of his
earnings now to buy food, com
pared to 56 per cent in Russia and
40 lo 50 per cent in most other
nations," Price continued. "Just
ID years ago too, food costs in
America accounted for more
than 23 per cent of the average
family income.

Oregonians purchased an aver
age of .74 pints of milk per day
for consumption in 1962 and 5.23
per cent of that milk was raw
milk. These are some of the statistics
compiled by the Oregon Depart
ment of Agriculture from figures
gathered the past year from li
censed producer-distributors and
distributors. The consumption fig
ure does not include the milk
used on the farm where it is
produced.
The latest national figures avail
able on non-farm milk consump
tion were for 1961 wlicn the esti
mated per capita consumption per
day was set at .78 pints.
The state exported more p a s
teurized milk than it imported
last year but these figures were
reversed in the raw milk for pas
teurization. "Export figures for the year
were 4l.080.o:i3 pounds pasteur
