Show Farm Production Under Contract Called Wave of the Future 4 Farm production under tract on the basis of con- specifica- tions is the wave of the future for agriculture, Roger Fleming, secretary treasurer of the American Farm Bureau Federation, told the organisation's 50th an- nual meeting, ' Contracting producers need to be organized to strengthen their bargaining power" with buyers, Fleming said in outlining the pioneer steps the nation's largest farm organization has taken oyer the years to make effective marketing a reality for Bureau members. Farm ' . Administration was created. He said, It wasnt accidental that Farm Bureau leaders had foresight on this issue. From the start we were for rural electrics being related to. the private enterprise system. In contract there were those who intended that the rural electrics would be the means of socializing the electric power industry in this country. Fleming said the time clearly has arrived to relate rural cooperatives more directly to the private enterprise system by providing them access to the private money market, and by clear cut establishment of each members share of the net worth of his That objective, he said, is the mission of the American Agricultural Marketing Association rural electric cooperative. and the affiliated state marketmuch of his annual ing associations organized by the He devoted to the report membership of the Farm Bureau..

A eXTRABENEFtr BE ho Released by Interior comprehensive plan for curbing pollution and improving management of the waters of the Northwests Snake River has been completed by the Department of Interiors Federal Water Pollution Control ' Administration, under Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall. In releasing this report, Secretary Udall said that if this river is to meet present and future demands for such, uses as A irrigation, recreation, and industry, the residents of the Snake Basin must promptly accurate action programs to protect this valuable resource." He warned that water' pollution is threatening to restrict full use of the waters of this spectacular river, which is visited by millions of sports fishermen and sightseers. FWPCA Commissioner Joe G. Moore, Jr., said that the Snake River report can be used as a blueprint to' build future programs for the water quality essential to the many uses and enjoyment of water in the Snake Basin." This report, Moore said, Summarizes the findings of studies which have provided the impetus to Federal-Stat- e water pollution control planning in the Snake Basin since 1962. It tells where pollution exists and why it exists. It tells what corrective action has already been initiated. It tells what further steps must be taken to preserve and enhance the quality of the water resources of the basin." More than five million persons use the Snake Basin for swimming, boating, 'camping, and sightseeing each year. However, pollution has defiled major portions of the river, which begins in the northwest corner of Wyoming, flows through Idaho, and then joins the Columbia River in the State of Washington. Pollution-stimulateand often unsightly aquatic growths flourish throughout the Snakes length. Fish kills occur nearly every year. Bacterial contamination occurs below most major population centers. , The FWPCA report states that the 1965 Snake Basin population of 730,000 will nearly double in thirty-fiv- e years and almost fifty-fivin years. triple Some highlights of the recommendations made in the report include: Development of systematic management to reduce inefficient use of water and to permit all beneficial uses. Continued action by the state water pollution control agencies to establish basin-wid- e secondary treatment by 1972 and to develop intra-statwater standards. quality Installation of secondary waste treatment facilities by Federal facilities which do not now provide this type of treatment. Improvement of agricultural practices to insure maximum protection from the adverse effects of fertilizers and pesticides. Control and adequate treatment of hot water discharges from industries and power plants to avoid thermal pollution.
