' Synthetics Capture Some Farm Markets American fanners have lost about 10 per cent of their total market in recent years to syn thetics or man-made products. This estimate is reported by two economists at North Caro lina. State .University'who havd1 recently, surveyed the impact of synthetics oh agriculture. & The economists, Drs. Ffed Mangum and Leigh H. Ham mond, gave these examples of how synthetics have cut into farm markets. — Twenty years ago, natural fibers — mainly cotton and wool — accounted for 96 per cent of the total fiber market. Synthetic or non-agricultural fibers now account for over one-third of this market. — Twenty''years ago, animal fats and vegetable oils were the base for manufacturing 96 per cent of the soaps used in this country. More than 80 per cent of the soaps and detergents used today are manufactured from non-agricultural raw materials. — The use of non-agricultural sweeteners — cyclamates and saccharin — has been increasing about six times faster than the use of sugar. Sugar still accounts over 90 per cent of the sweet ener market, however. While synthetics can com ■ te directly with agricultural iiiits, they Can also change ' "" (be various agricultural pro xampie, dacron-cottor ispi .ced many „ this case cotton whik wool. Soybeans are another good ex ample. Traditionally used for animal feed, soybeans have now become the base for a host of synthetic products — margarine, coffee whiteners, whipped top pings, artificial milk, synthetic njeats, and so forth. IJamxhbnd said that synthe tics are generally less expen sive than- the natural products with which they are competing. They can also have special ad vantages. Another distinction between agricultural and non-a gricultur al products is the size of busi ness which produces them. New synthetics require large amounts of money for research, develop ment, and market promotion. Therefore, they are most likely to come from large firms. iMangum believes that synthe tics present a tough challenge to agricultural policy makers. Rigid price- supports, set above free market levels, will encourage the development of new synthe tics, he predicts. As an alternative, policy mak ers might want to use a more flexible pricing system, letting farm products settle to about their free market level. Direct payments could then be used to bring farm income up to the levels deemed satisfactory by so ciety. “The greatest impact of syn thetics may be on marketing and processing firms rather than on farmers. New products could create an environment favorable for the domination of the industry by a few firms . . . Then policies would be needed to insure that both consumers and other producers and proces sors would not suffer because of unfair practices.” Veterans Corner Q — I am receiving a non service-connected disability pen sion from the Veterans Adminis tration and was under the im pression that I would get an in crease starting in January, 1969. However, I am. receiving the same amount. Please explain. A — The new pension system does not provide for automatic, across-the-board increases. Pen sions are now keyed to $100 variations in income.
