Pendered, President of the Berkeley Bank of Cooperatives, was the featured speaker at the noon luncheon, held in the Empire Room of the Hotel Utah.

The climb to 60 billion dollars. Pendered cited as reasons for his predictions, the big advances that have taken place. Namely in the processes of (1) and (2) biological nitrogen fixation. Photo synthesis he says is creating genetic engineering as a breeders tool for creating super crops such as plants with a protein value comparable to meat. Pendered saw many advances in agriculture as a result of space-ag- e advances in technology. As an al phot-synthes- is example he named pho- tography from space to inventory crops and locate diseased ones. Mr. Pendered predicted that American farms would continue to decrease in number but increase in size and place emphasis on specialization. He predicted an increase in the use of red meat, fish, cheese, processed fruits in frozen juices. He sees a decline in the consumption of ham, lamb, veal, eggs, flour and beans and a shift from regular milk to low fat milk. added this past year which include a new fertilizer plant in Payson and bulk handling facilities in Delta, Roosevelt and Ephraim.
