' Hoke ASCS News BY THOMAS g BURGkSS STEPPED ? UP DEMAND BOOSTS SOYBEANS SALES - American soybean producers are selling record quantities of soybeans both at home and abroad this year, according to H.O. Carter, State Executive Director for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. It is estimated that soybean utilization will increase from 94S million bushels used in 1969 to 1,136 million bushels lor this year. This increase in market demand for soybeans represents the production from about 7 million acres. "In view of the excess production capacity we have in this country, this growth in soybean demand is welcome news to soybean producers and taxpayers," Carter commented. During the period 1966 through 1968 and part of 1969, soybean supplies tended to increase as a result of increased competition from lower ? priced imports of fish meal, sunflower oil and other competitive protein substitutes. However, in recent months demand for soybeans has increased substantially as a result of more competitive pricing, a drop - off in supplies of other high - protein materials, and continued growth in world demand for protein feeds. "As a result of the increased demand at higher prices, soybean producers who placed their crop under loan last fall have been redeeming them prior to th&loan maturity date and moving them into the open market," Carter pointed out. In past years, with less favorable markets, farms have tended to leave their beans under loan until the loan maturity date. Reversal of this trend will result in a substantial saving to the Government and therefore to taxpayers. "Increased exports have been, and will continue to be. the key to large growth markets for soybeans." Mr. Carter pointed out. "Soybeans supply more than four pounds of meal for each pound of oil, while most other vegetable oil products supply about a pound of oil for each pound of meal. Tire demand for meal is increasing faster than the demand for oil, and this in turn creates a demand for soybeans both in the U.S. and abroad." he explained. With soybeans priced more competitively with other high protein products, overall market demand has increased faster than processing facilities could profitably be developed However, with a somewhat improved operating margin, more crushing plants are being built or planned. "This will increase the demand for farmers' beans and eventually provide a greater volume of soybean oil and meal at more competitive prices." Carter emphasized. Recent action which resulted in a 50 percent reduction in the soybean levy into Japan, and continued elTorts by USDA to discourage an import tax on soybean oil and meal moving into the European economic community, has helped exports. This action combined with a continued desire by consumers to upgrade their diets, will assist in developing a market for additional supplies of beans. In anticipation of this improved market demand, soybean growers have reported intentions to plant over 43 million acres in 1970, an increase of almost one million acres above 1969. "This increase should boost bean growers' incomes around SI 00 million next year. Carter estimated. W HEAT MARKET IN (i Q U () T A S M A Y B I: ANNOUNCED THIS YEAR ?? Marketing quotas for the I'>71 . 72 wheat crop mav be announced in April because ot the Agricultural Act of 1965. as amended, ends with the 1970 crop. The 1965 Act suspended marketing quotas for wheat producers only while the Act was in effect. In the absence of new legislation, wheat programs revert to provisions of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended. Under the 1938 Act. The Secretary of Agriculture must determine before April lS^eaclr year whether or not a national wheat marketing quota should be in effect for the following marketing year, in this case, the 1971 crop. If the Secretary determines that a marketing quota is needed, a referendum of wheat producers would then be necessary before August 1, 1970. Marketing quotas must be approved by at least two - thirds of the eligible producers who vote. Quotas would then limit wheat acreage a farmer can plant for market without penalty The last time a similar situation arose was in 1965. That year the Secretary proclaimed a wheat marketing quota referendum on April 14. 1965. -but it was delayed by Congressional resolutions and the I %5 Agricultural Act became law the following November.

PHONE FAYETTEVILLE 483-0031 SENATOR SAM ERYIN * SAYS * WASHINGTON - l ast week I introduced in the Senate a compromise proposal to reform the Electoral College. Simply put. my proposal would eliminate the "faithless elector." but would insure that a state's electoral votes would be cast for the Presidential plurality winner in the state. Also, it would provide that if no nominee had an electoial vote majority, the deadlock would be broken by a vote taken at a Joint Session of Congress with each Member of the House and Senate having one vote. While I have introduced for many years a proposal which would provide for a proportional counting of each state's electoral vote. I have ottered this modified plan because the Senate will soon consider the direct election proposal along with other electoral reform proposals with the prospect that only two alternatives may have substantial support. These alternatives are "to adopt the direct election plan" or "to do nothing" about electoral reform at this session. These courses are unacceptable to me. Moreover. I have reached the conclusion that two fundamental considerations should govern our deliberations on this matter. First, there are certain acknowledged defects in the present process of electing the President which have undermined public confidence therein and clearly require reform. One is the ever - present possibility of a "faithless elector" who does not cast his vote as the majority who chose him directs. Another is the method lor selecting the President in the case of an electoral college deadlock. These defects can be corrected easily under my plan without the danger of effecting a radical change in the Nation's political institutions. The second fundamental consideration is that despite its detects, the electoral college system has unquestionably provided this Nation with the most successful method of electing national leaders known in modern history. It has brought to the Presidency those of uncommon talent and wisdom. It has been instrumental in creating a stable, progressive and responsible national leadership. In spite of all that can be said about its faults, the system has seen us through crisis after crisis. To abolish the electoral system and to substitute direct election is not only to substitute one form of election for another, but to affect in unforeseen ways all those other political processes and institutions, at federal, state and local levels, which "have developed over the years in response to the present system for Presidential elections. Any alteration in the institutions and processes of electing the President must be considered with a view as to its possible impact on our two ? party system which has made for stability in our nation's government. Harvard Law School Professor truest Brown puts this problem simply when he says: "At a time when the country suffers from sharp divisions, we should be cautious lest, though with the best of intentions, we encourage further division and discourage coalition." Finally, the direct election proposal raises the likelihood that the Federal government would establish a centralized power over Presidential elections. While such implementation_of the direct election plan would proceed in the name of "fairness" to all voters, it would aJ$*Trest control over sucluj^Setions in Washington ratl^rthan in the stales. The danger of such concentrated power in a new Federal bureaucracy is obvious. There are many other reasons why my proposal for reform of the Electoral College is preferable to the direct election proposal. I intend to elaborate on these as the Senate proceeds with this debate.

Vann, institute president. It is located in Clinton. Sampson Tech is one of the few technical institutes in the state which will be offering a printing program of this kind. Offset printing, because of its time saving and cost saving characteristics, is rapidly becoming the most popular form of printing in use.
