The average American consumer is eating about the same poundage of food as his grandfather did. But his dining table at mealtime takes on a far different look. Last year, for example, the per capita consumption of such foods as beef, eggs, fish, dairy products, fruits and vegetables was 223 pounds higher than it was 40 or 50 years ago. The ayerage American offsets this, however, by eating less of grain products and potatoes 222 pounds less Now this is a vitally important fact. It indicates the kind of food the customer wants. But does our farm program recognize this? On the contrary the present farm price support program with its emphasis upon a basic" crops, is few burking the trend of consumer food preferences. High government price supports encourage farmers to produce corn and many other grains for storage, instead of for livestock feed. We continue to pilp up these surpluses , in warehouses far beyond our needs through a which discourages program their conversion into the type of goods Americans need and are willing to buy. This has' led us to a point where we have approximately $6'4 billion committed to price support Operations. It is costing than the government more $700,000 a day, a quarter of a billion dollars a year, just to store its surpluses and the bill is constantly growing. When we begin harvesting the new corn crop October 1, we will have on hand about 975 million bushels produced in prior years. This carryover will be more than double what it was two years earlier. Had this surplus been fed to livestock and poultry, instead of stored, only two or three percent more meat and eggs would have resulted. The American public could well have absorbed that much additional meat and eggs without even letting out a notch in the national belt. In the form of corn, however, this grain Is giving both our storage facilities and our markets a bad case of Indigestion. This illustrates why we need flexible price supports to encourage the production of grain for livestock feeding, rather than for storage in government warehouses. t STREET box Elder NEWS Brigham City, Utah Wednesday, August 18. 935 1954 mm days Plays in Salt Lake Two Truck ,V Collision Urges Less Storage Brighom City Peaches Lose to , Smithfield A panel truck slammed into the rear of a pickup a mile south of Willard at 9:22 p. m , Saturday, pitching a passenger headlong through the wind shield.
