Washington Report

CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES
During Uie Congressional re
cess, I have had the pleasure of
moving around the District and
seeing many of you in person.
This is indeed a refreshing
experience and I only wish that
my Congressional duties per
mitted this to happen more of
ten.
On several occasions I have
stated publicly that I am con
cerned about the lack of in
terest in agriculture in the
present Congress. This con
cern was certainly verified dur
ing the week of July 29 while
the House was considering the
extension of the farm program
for four additional years.
We received very little sup
port and certainly limited un
derstanding from the urban area
Members who continues to ex
press concern for the ghettos,
food stamps and other such pro
grams.
I attempted to call to their
attention that unless we con
tinue to provide incentives lor
our farmers to remain on the
farm and produce foodstuffs,
then food stamps will be of
little value.
The one thing that has kept
America the dominant power
that it is has been its ability
and capacity to produce enough
food for our ever-expanding
population and to come to the
material assistance of other
Nations, such as India, in times
of famine. If Congress con
tinues to ignore the problem of
agriculture, this situation may

not continue to exist.
The farmer is one of the
few segments of our economy
who does not have a guaran
teed return on his investment
of money and labor. I think
a weakness of the system can
best be explained by a specific
example.
When the farmer ships a load
of hogs to a faraway market,
the trucker is insured of afixed
rate. The purchaser is assured
of a profit. Those who contri
bute their labor to loading and
unloading are guaranteed a
minimum wage by law.
Yet, the farmer only receives
what the purchaser agrees to
pay. I am among those who do
not believe that the present farm
program has produced the re
sults that it should.
Today, with farm income
being only 73% of parity, it is
indeed deplorable, but on the
other hand, what would the con
ditions be without any sort of
farm program?
I expect to join the others in
the 91st Congress in introduc
ing measures which will make
the present program more ef
fective and more equitable to
our agricultural economy. Cer
tainly, it is incumbant on us to
consistantly remind others of
the importance of an adequate
supply of food and fiber.
