RADIOACTIVE WASTE
If Japan wants to sell more cars in the United States, let Je-
an buy more grain from the United States.
And that goes for anybody else wishing to sell anything else in
the United States. They should buy our farm products instead
of canceling $255 million in orders for our wheat and corruso
they can buy those grains in Argentina and France instead.
Even Mexico insists on selling us expensive oil while shopping
elsewhere for cut-rate wheat
Our country used to ge agrarian, used to be mostly farmers.
We led the industrial revolution and became the world’s sup-
plier of manufactured things instead.
Now the world has learned to manufacture things. If we are
going to have to be an agrarian society again—then let's make
it pay.
Example: Last year we imported from Japan more than Japan
imported from us by $37 billion.
Yet Japan, at that same time, was buying most of its farm
products elsewhere.
The U. S. share of world grain trade has declined in five years.
From 60 percent to, 48 percent
Our traditional trading partners, trading elsewhere, explain
that the expensive American dollar has made our foodstuffs cost
30 percent more than they can buy for elsewhere. Yet; Russia
still buys wheat from us; 17. 35 million tons since October.
Japan can and should.
Since 1960 the number of farms in the United States has shrunk
by 41 percent; the size of the average farm has increased from
297 acres to 437.
While government has found it necessary to limit bigness in
industry, modem economics requires bigness in Agriculture
Though that transition—however inevitable—told in cold num-
bers represents a lot of sweat and tears and more than a few
suicides.
To shuck right down to the cob: While America’s farmers
are producing twice as much food as Americans can eat, let's
tell anybody who wants to sell his cars, clothes or gizmos here
that he will also buy his groceries here.
I hear the free trade advocates protest; "It's not; as simple
as that!" Gentlemen, it is as simple as that.
bear Sir:
My wife and I are retired and
live on a farm, but we would
like to live in Dell City which
would be a wonderful retire-
ment village if the utilities
were not so high. The water 1
bill of some of our friends,
with not more than 3 or 4 in
the family, runs from $75 to
$100 per month.
During the last few years
several business houses have
closed, people have moved
away, and this has left an
intolerable burden on the peo-
ple still there who are trying
to pay off an indebtedness on
the water works (as I under-
stand) of some $400,000 due
the Farmers Home Administra-
tion.
The City officials are strug-
gling with this debt and making
a great effort to maintain the
City's credit.
I ask your consideration of the
suggestion that the Farmers
Home Admin, cancel this in-
debtedness and give this fine
community a chance to get
back on its feet.

What would you do with a worn out nuclear power plant?
National Wildlife magazine reports that after 25-30
years nuclear power plants simply wear out. They reach
the point where it is no longer economical to replace
weakened parts. The Department of Energy estimates
that within 15 years as many as 70 nuclear power plants
could be ready for the scrap heap.
