Campus Unrest Report Is Landmark Document Thursday, October 15 1970 Th« Nyssa Gat« City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Pag* Eight Buick's Riviera Sport Coupe For 1971 NEW ERA IN AGRICULTURE FOR 1970,$ PREDICTED BY AGRI BUSINESS COUNCIL A new era is taking place in agriculture and Jim Heater, executive vice president of the Agri-Business Council, of Oregon, predicts that the 1970’s will be a decade of tremendous change and tremendous growth. Relating to USDA statistics he notes that our national popu lation is projected to grow from its current 205 million to about 230 million by 1980, and that the gross national product which was $932 billion last year may almost double. Heater observes that con sumer income after taxes is projected to double -- rising from $630 billion last year to $1,260 billion in 1980, and that consumer buying power is ex pected to rise by over 50 per cent. Dramatic changes are taking place “down on the farm.” The commercial farm is much more heavily capitalized and more efficiently operated than the farm of the past -- a trend which will continue. Since only the stronger farmers are able to cope with these changes and since the total amount of land used for agriculture is expec ted to remain about the same, the average commercial farm Power Administration’s hyaiu- thermal energy generating con cept -- combining public and investor-owned facilities aimed at averting Northwest power shortages in the middle 1970s. High point of the business industry conference, however, was an "Environmental Hot- Seat", that provoked lively dia logue between business, govern ment and conservationist inter ests. The hot-seat session was mo derated by Portland Atty. John D. Mosser, former chairman of the State Sanitary Authority, legislator, finance director and now a member of the State Board of Higher Education. Participants included represen tatives of government on the federal, regional and state le vels, industry and outdoor or ganizations. The fact AOI featured “li vability” and expressed its con cern with such a convention program doesn’t necessarily mean all is sweetness and light between Oregon business and so-called environmentalists. Oregon business -- the same as business throughout the free enterprise world, in motivated by profit and growth. But the Sunriver program — in the words of Gov. McCall, revealed the conscience of this state’s business community. And a newsman covering the convention called it an unlikely romance that likely will produce a lasting marriage. Easter Seal Chairman in 1980 will be considerably lar ger than now. The combination of more peo ple in the United States with substantially more purchasing power per capita will mean in creased demand for farm pro ducts. Heater says that when this fact is combined with a decline in the number of com mercial farmers, the income return per farm in 1980 will be sharply higher than now. Consumers spent $120 bil lion for food and beverages last year. Heater says that USDA economists project a rise in these expenditures to about $206 billion in 1980. When people in the middle or lower income brackets achieve rising income, they tend to up grade their diets. Per capita consumption of beef and veal which last year reached a new national high of 114 pounds may rise to 130poundsby 1980. This will mean an increase of 33 percent in beef production. Per capita consumption of chicken and turkeys which to taled 48 pounds last year, may rise to 60 pounds in 1980. This represents a production in crease of 45 percent. The list of examples goes on and on, and Heater says that the pro jections make the outlook for agriculture in the 1970’s opti mistic. Moreover, Heater points out, there are changes taking place in agriculture which enable the alert and efficient commercial farmer to adapt profitably to the changing economy. For the first time in the his tory of American agriculture the farm entrepreneur regards himself as a businessman con cerned with marketing as well as producing farm products. It is a new concept that com- cercial agriculture is a business — a way of making a living rather than a way of life. A second characteristic of today’s changing agriculture is the fact that the commercial farmer is no longer a prisoner of the land. He has the capi tal and the competence to make the choice whether he wants to continue to farm or not. A third characteristic of to day’s changing agriculture, says Heater, is the large capital in vestment needed to be a farm operator. Prior to World War II, aman could be a farmer -- a com peting producer -- for less than $1,000. Today, to start from zero and begin a farming operation by buying requires a bare minimum of $100,000. And, according to theCommissionon Agricultural Credit, it takes closer to $250,000 to establish an effective farm. The fact that today’s farmer has alternative choices whether to farm or not to farm — the fact of the very large and still growing capital require ments -- the fact that the market demand outlook is encoura ging -- and the fact that the farmer is now a businessman who is a marketer as well as a producer — are all extremely powerful forces which are shap ing agriculture’s future. Heater, a successful farmer hirtiself, says that agriculture has never been an easy occupa tion. The farmer is always at the mercy of Mother Nature, and competition has always been keen. He says there is one trait that all farmers have — optimism -- and if the USDA predictions all com? true. Ore gon farmers have something to >e optimistic about. Robert F.

The dramatic aerodynamic styling of Buick's Riviera sport coupe for 1971 is illustrated in this view of its tapered rear design with its unique window treatment. The Riviera has a completely new body with larger interior dimensions and 35 per cent more trunk space. It is powered by a 455 cubic inch engine with nickel plated exhaust valves for greater durability.

He de scribes career clusters as broad areas of related occu pations, such as electricity and electronics, metals, power, agriculture and food services. "This would also shift the emphasis from subject matter as an educational end to sub ject matter as a means of ful fillment,” Ten Pas said. Ten Pas made the suggestions to some 360 junior and senior high school principals who at tended the meeting of the Oregon Association of Secondary School Principals at Oregon State Uni versity this fall. The president of OASSP, Bill O’Neal of Springfield, said the principals seemed agreed that Oregon’s high schools must ad just to a vocational education program. “We must do this in order to assure that all students have access to releveant learning experiences in high school,” O’Neal said. A warning that administrators are going to be held accountable for meeting the objectives of education came from Jesse Fa- sold, deputy superintendent of Oregon Board of Education. "The principals must be pre pared to evaluate how well they are meeting their educational objectives, then they must teli it to the people of Oregon as it is,” he said. Gene Chester, Nyssa High School principal, and Don Mari tin, junior high principal, atg tended the meeting. ***•*•«**• Pedestrian traffic deaths in the U.S. last year totaled 9,80C£ many of those killed were chil« dren who darted into the streef from behind a parked car.
