!. Abundance

Last year there was a greater
expansion Of our food utiliza-
ton programs than ever before
in our history.
Eighty-five thousand more
schools, child care centers and
camps are receiving fresh milk
that previously had no such
opportunity. Seve n-hundred
thousand more children enjoy
a hot school lunch. Both the
quantity and the variety of
food distributed to more thar
six million needy persons has
been increased substantially.
A pilot food stamp program
| in eight COM m unities has
brought such encouraging re-
suits that its administrative
expansion in a further trial
period to many additional
communities is justified and is
included in the new Budget.
| We have also increased our
shipments Of food to other ma
tions under P.L. 4S0, thus using
our agricultural abundance to
combat hunger and contribute
to economic development
throIloholt the free world. We
have stepped up our emphasis
on school lunch programs
abroad, thus encouraging both
education and better nutrition
for the rising generation, on
which so much of the future OF
these new nations depends. We
shall continue to expand these
programs wherever feasible.
We have markedly increased
programs under which United
States food is used to further
projects for social and eco
nomic development in emerg-
ing nations. Today American
agriculture abundance assists
such projects in II countries,
as compared with only two in
1860. Aand more than three
fourths of the local currency
accruing from the sales au-
thorized under Title I IN 1861
will be used for economic de-
velopment programs.
Our overall shipments under
Public Law 480 during this
fiscal year will reach an esti-
mated % per cent more than
those Of the previous fiscal
year.
Last year the Congress ex-
tended and improved P. L. 480
In order that our Food for
Peace program can be made
even more effective in the fu-
ture 1 recommend:
Cd An amendment Of Title
II of P. L. 480 to permit ship
ments of surplus commodities
such as dried beans and peas
not in CCC inventory;
(2) Provisions to broaden the
purpose of Title " to include
market development; and
(3) A new Title v to pro-
mote multinational programs
for food assistance, authorizing
the President to negotiate and
carry out agreements for this
purpose v IL international Or
ganizatio1 and other inter-
governme -. groupings.

III. Conservation

recommend legislation
to encourage a comprehensive
survey Of land uses, to under
take a research program on the
conversion of land to alternate
purposes, and to initiate a series
Of pilot and demonstration land
use projects. AS the pilot plan
is evaluated and a permanent
program for land use developed,
| it will be possible for our sup
ply management efforts to
place less emphasis on tempo
rary diversion Of acreage from
the production of specific corps,
and more on the permanent
utilization of acreage to fulfill
other public needs.
An effective land use program
also requires the following ad-
ditional legislation:
/. Amendment Of the Soil
Conservation and Domestic Al
lotment Act to expand the agri-
cultural conservation program
to include payments and cost
sharing arrangements, under
long-term contracts, which
would permit changes in CROP
ping systems and land uses for
the conservation and develop
ment Of soil. water, forests,
wildlife and recreational re-
sources.
2. Amendment of the Bank
head-Jones Farm Tenant Act
to include the use of land &C.
quired under that act for rec
reational development and wild
life protection.
3. Amendment Of the Water
shed Protection and Flood Pre-
vention Act to permit the Sec
retary to share in Llle cost of
any land acquired by local
organizations for operation as
a reservoir Of public fish, Wild
life or recreational develop
ment.
4. Modification Of the Wa
terShed Act to provide for loans
for recreational facilities.
S. Expansion of the authority
of the Farmers Home Admin
istration to make loans to
farmers for recreational enter
priseS.
Additional legislation for
conservation Of our renewable
resources is also necessary.
These recommendations will be
included in a message I will
send to the Congress devoted
to proposals for the maximum
utilization Of our land re-
sources.

alternative uses Of benefit to
the Nation. -
4. To initiate and expand
programs for the development
Of human resources and re-
newal Of rural communities
Each year / million people
move from the farm to the city
Many others seek part-time
employment to supplement
meager returns from farm labor.
The hardship and suffering this
often entails should be allevi-
ated, and these workers assisted
in their efforts to acquire
needed skills, obtain jobs, and
further their education.
Abundance, Balance, Con-
servation, Development-these
are our common sense goals
as common sense as ABCD.
The program that follows-an
ABCD farm program for the
'60's-is designed to meet those
goals.
This is a program for maxi
mum freedom and flexibility in
the operation Of individual
farm enterprises. Improvements
in farming efficiency as well as
shifts among enterprises must
not only be allowed-they must
be encouraged. They are in the
long-run national interest: they
are consistent with this pro-
grams overall objectives.
The new commodity pro-
grams recommended could be-
come effective only after they
are approved democratically by
a two-thirds majority in a
producer referendum. Produc-
ers Of cotton, tobacco, rice,
peanuts and wheat have long
followed this procedure of
choosing jointly to exert a
measure Of control over the
production and marketing of
their crops, just as industry
groups exercise control over the
product Of their labor and in
vestment. This democratic
procedure can be extended to
other farm commodities.

w. Development

The Department Of Agricul-
ture has launched a series of
programs for the development
and renewal of rural areas and
rural communities. These pro-
grams are designed to end rural
poverty by offering new oppor-
Itunities-both agricultural and
\ nonagricultural- rural peo-
pie. Activities of the Rural
Identification Administration,
the Farmers Home Administra-
ton, the Federal Extension
Service and other Department
agencies are being co-ordinated
under the Rural Area Develop
ment program in close cooper
alton with the Area Redevelop-
ment Administration.
To make the most Of the
human resources in these rural
areas, there is one need that
transcends all others - that is
education. Education can give
them new vistas, new oppor-
tunities, new skills in place OF
the poverty that no price sup
port program will ever remove,
Most of the necessary activi-
ties are already authorized by
law. However, some additional
authority is needed.
In many rural areas, the
difficulty Of financing adequate
safe and sanitary housing and
modern community facilities
such as water and sewage sys.
TENS, recreational installations
and transportation, has de.

wheat stocks to manageable
levels, improve the competitive
position Of American wheat. In
world markets, and maintain
the incomes Of wheat producers,
Ito achieve these objectives, ma
tional wheat acreage allotments
will be established by estimating
the actual requirements each
year for milling, seed, and for
export, and deducting q number
Of bushels that will permit us
to draw upon our surplus stocks
on hand to gradually reduce the
carry-over to the level required
for stability and security.
Marketing certificates would
be used to assure growers q
price support level between rs
and 80 per cent Of parity on the
domestic allotment and up to
80 per cent on the export allot-
ment. The national allotmc-,+
would be apportioned among all
growers, including small grow
|ers, on the basis Of past wheat
acreage. The Secretary of
Agriculture will have authority
to make payments. which will
h ZIP to maintain producers in
c mes, for mandatory diversion
vf acreage from wheat to soil
conserving uses, and to offer
such payments as an incentive
for further voluntary acreage
diversi m.
Initiation Of this program is
necessary for the 1868 crop
year. AS in the case Of feed
grains, it would be subject to
approval by a producer referen-
DUN.
