Idaho: One Year................$6.50 Two Years........... $12.00 Elsewhere in the U.S.A.: One Year................$7.50 Two Yean........... $14.00 Carter Saw What Others Couldn't The problem with the blanket directives from Washington. D.C. or anywhere else for that matter is that no one set of rules can be equally justified for all areas or situations. A case in point is President Carter’s decision to allow 800 workers from Mexico to assist in the recently completed onion harvest and the current cantaloupe harvest in Presidio, Texas. With the help of the Presidio Growers Association and Presidio County grower-shippers, half of the onion crop was salvaged and a good deal of the cantaloupe crop will be, thanks to Carter overruling the labor deoartment. The problems remain. In an interview with Presidio Growers Association vice president Oscar Spencer. The Packer learned the 800 workers are only a third of the total number needed to harvest the area's cantaloupe crop and there simply are no domestic workers available. The reason for the shortage of domestic field hands is one of proximity or lack of. Presidio, a community of 1,000 people to begin with, is 250 miles from any major metropolitan area like El Paso. The city’s closest neighbor in the United States is Marfa. Texas, a metropolis of 2,647 people. And it’s only a scant 61 miles north on the only highway out of Presidio, U.S. Highway 67. in other words, where is the domestic field labor force coming from? When the city population is only 1,000 and there is a need for 1,800 to 2,000 field hands, there isn’t half enough domestic labor in the city, even if every man, woman and child in Presidio worked the field harvest! President Carter apparently could see this. The U.S. labor department, for some reason or other, does not seem to understand this. Put more simply. Spencer said there is only one field hand for every three acrs of cantaloupes. Not nearly enough to prevent much of the crop from being a total loss. Yet much of the news media has bemoaned the fact that Carter’s action was depriving domestic field hands of jobs. In truth, however, there is no such person as a ‘‘domestic field hand" for the Presidio grower. _________ __________ From The Packer, July 2,1977. LETTERS TO EDITOR Editor’s Neto: The follow ing is a copy of a letter from the Oregon Wheat Commis sion to Secretary of Agri culture, Bob Bergland. Mr. Bob Bergland Secretary of AGricluture U.S.D.A. Washington. D.C. 2005 Dear Mr. Bergland: The Oregon Wheat Com mission is reporting to you the continually deepening concern of Oregon growers and those in their neighbor ing states of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, regard ing the dramatic price de pressing build up of stocks of U.S. wheat types. 1 he decrease in volume of exports of U.S. wheat is of particular concern when this nation is under a full production schedule. The most recent export report shows a drop of nearly 250 million bushels (or over 20% in the last season). No one has to tell you how drasti cally this has affected market prices. All this with the cost of production continuing to spiral. It is imperative that the current Administration de monstrate its responsibility in its obligation to the pro ducer segment in disposing of excess stocks after encour aging increased production which has lowered market prices below the cost of production. Aggressive activation of U.S. Government export pro grams should be undertaken immediately. Use of Public Law 480, CCC. credit and increased government finan cial support of the U.S.D.A. Foreigh Agricultural Service should all be utilized to the fullest deeree when our competing export nations are being so fiercely aggressive in their attempt to end U.S. dominance of the world market. The wheat industry Fo reign Market Development program can be efficient only with full U.S. Government financial support and strong cooperation with U.S. grower promotion groups, and third party co-operators in the importing nations. The U.S.D.A.’s Foreign Agricultural Service is woe fully underfinanced with only a $12 million annual budget to assist in promoting 35 U.S. commodities abroad. Its budget has not been increased for over ten years. Inflation has reduced the value of the $12 million to just over $6 million. Grower market develop ment organizations have in creased their budgets re peatedly to attempt to carry out programs at an effective level. Further increases in grower financial commit ments places undue burden on state wheat commissions and associations. Every effort must be exer cised to gain approval of the added $4 million recom mended by the Senate for F.A.S. budget. The House of Representa tives sub-committee on ap propriations, under Whitten and which added only $325,- 000 instead of 3 million increase recommended by the house Agriculture Com mittee. must be influenced to reconsider Its inadequate decision. U.S. balance of trade deficit can be corrected through expansion of Agri cultural commodity exports, thereby strengthening the U.S. economy and bolstering the value of the American dollar, which benefits all U.S. citizenry. Our producers sincerely urge your Department, the President, and the Congress to originate activity in all fields immediately so they can remain solvent and provide a healthy agriculture to the benefit of the full U.S. population. Sincerely. Box Nixon. Chairman Oregon Wheat Commission Services for Frank Arthur Johnson. 91, Nu Acres, who died Friday.
