Show May, 1966 Page 3 UTAH FARM BUREAU NEWS Are You Sleeping, Farmer John? Tomato Growers Reject Offer of Campbell Co. Growers of tomatoes MILK PRODUCTION, USE, AND CARRYOVER 130 for pro- 120 cessing in Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, acting through their state Farm Bureau marketing associations, have re- 110 jected 1966 contracts offered by the Campbell Soup Company, Charles B. Shuman, president of the American Farm Bureay Federation, and its marketing affiliate, the American Agricultural Marketing Association, said today. The State Farm Bureau marketing associations are members 10 by LaVere Tippetts Farm Bureau Special Agent Farmer John, you're losing your sheep, By entrusting their keeping to Little Bo Peep, And Little Bo Peep has not been true. She's gone to the city with Little Boy Blue. And Little Boy Blue is a loyal son To your opposition in Washington. It's time, Farmer John to toot your own horn, Or you'll have no cows to get in "no" com. These rising costs you simply can't stand! Unreasonable taxes are shrinking your land! If you're under the haystack fast asleep, Your land may be sold and sold pretty cheap. Now it does little good to toot one horn. In a mortgaged patch of under priced com. If you'll add your "toot" to a full piece band, We can wake Farmer Johns all over the land. Replace Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue With a Farm Bureau Band that's tooting for you! Remember the Tale of the Little Red Hen? She wanted to make some bread, and when She asked for help from her barnyard friends Well, you know the way the story ends. She did it herself, and so must you. With the help of other Red Hens too. The Little Red Hen needed one loaf of bread. She had not a nation of mouths to be fed. She did it with courage, seed, head and feet, But with no high overhead or taxes to beat And she ate it herself no big middled man, With no intervention from an uncle named "Sam". Farmer John, you have a decision to make, If it's bread you're making, or whether it's cake. If you want to be sure, there's some left for you, You will watch Uncle Sam, Bo Peep and Boy Blue. The best way to do this is with that shield That says ORGANIZED ACTION is protecting your field. Now you've worked hard, but work isn't enough. For while you've been working the "going's got tough." But it isn't too late, if you act right now! We'll show you how. Get on the Band Wagon III iI i-- u. i.

In an open letter to tomato who produce for the growers Campbell Soup Company in the four states involved; Shuman said: Campbell growers who have sacrificed their 1966 tomato contracts have joined growers of past years who have risked a thing of value for a principle. Farm Bureau will stand firmly beside you to assure that this is not just another sacrifice by a few who have chosen to stand up for what they believe is right. Your efforts have contributed greatly toward the eventual over into 1966 declined to 4.5 billion pounds (milk equivalent). Both commercial and government stocks fell, each reaching the lowest year-en- d level since 1960. Output this year is expected to decline further and exceed commercial and farm use by less than in 1965, resulting in smaller CCC purchases. Low government stocks of dairy products are sharply curtailing utilization under sales and donations programs. USDA carryover next January 1 likely will be negligible.
