Bob Price Gives
Feed Groin Views
At Dinner Meet
Robert D. (Bob) Price
of Pampa, Republican
candidate for congress
from the eighteenth dis-
trict, called the federal
feed grain program a flop
in addressing a dinner
meeting of Carson County
Republican PartyLea-
ders at the J. T. Broada-
way home Friday night.
Three years ago the
federal government em-
barked on a massive at-
tempt to reduce its stag-
gering surplus of 2.9 bil-
lion bushels of feed grain.
A subsidy was offered to
grain producers to cut
back on grain acreage,”
Price said.
“The effort was a ’co-
lossal flop’,” he said.
“This nation has spent
over $2.5 billion on this
program, with much of the
result directly opposite
to its purpose. During the
first three years total
production of barley, corn
and grain sorghum in-
creased 106 million bus-
hels, when the Depart-
ment of Agriculture had
predicted a hugh de-
crease.
During those same
three years the Federal
Government, by dumping
surplus grains on the
market still only mana-
ged to end up with a de-
crease of 514 million bu-
shels on hand,” the Pam-
pa rancher said.
“Today’s surplus still
stands at 2.4 billion su-
shels. The half billion re-
duction in bushels of grain
cost us $2.5 billion. Thus
we paid $5 per bushel
to reduce our government
surplus, while the feed
grain themselves ran an
average of $1 per bushel.
“On top of all than,
when the surplus grains
were released by the Fed-

baton relays.
Persons interested in
participating in the Fall
Festival events should
contact one of the mem-
bers of the Jaycees as
early as possible, Jaycee
officials said.
