Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, OCTOBER Utah Farm Bureau Urges Lifting Ban on Grain Sales The board of directors of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation has sent a letter to President Gerald Ford calling on the President to immediately lift the ban on grain sales to foreign countries. The strongly worded letter reminds the President of his May 1975 promise to farmers for unfettered access to world markets" if they would produce abundant crops. In that May speech, Ford said farmers have my support for a vigorous export policy for their products. We have now eliminated all restrictions on exports. This administration is determined to act in support of the American farmer and his best interests. It will not act to distort his market." The Farm Bureau leaders said the Ford administrations action on September 22 extending export restrictions to Poland and several other countries represents a direct contradiction of your pledge to the farmers of America. This action is a breach of faith." Commenting on the letter to Mr. Ford, Farm Bureau president Elmo W. Hamilton, Riverton, said farm ers have produced a record crop of wheat and most feed grains this year including three times the amount of wheat this country can use in a year." He also said the Ford administration had capitulated to the interests of labor unions who had refused to load foreign-boungrain in an effort to force a cargo suference bill. Hamilton said if the ban on further farm exports is not lifted soon, farmers planting fall wheat will reduce their plantings and consumers will eventually pay more for wheat products. Leaders of Utah's largest farm organization also called upon Mr. Ford to reject any proposal to make America a state trading nation. They urged Ford to reassert his long-helcommitment to the market system by immediately lifting the export ban." Farmers and ranchers of this country are committed to continued abundance but our success is completely dependent upon operation of the market system without self-servin- g d union-sponsore- d d government interference, letter concluded. the 17, 1975 Utah 6 Ahead Of Year Ago in Bond Sales Page Eleven Utah Blindness Society Says Prevention Key to Childs Eye Health To be sure, blindness or unnecessarily impaired vision, at whatever age it occurs, is always a tragedy.
