Benson Says Cattle Crisis Is Now Eased Secretary Scorns ■; Proposal For Beef Buy By Government WASHINGTON UP — Secretary of agriculture Ezra. Taft Benson believes the cattle crisis has eased and that definite improvement for beef producers is coming in the 1954 election year. In an exclusive interview? with, the United Press, he indicated that for those persons who know tiie business, how would be a good time to buy feeder stock. “I have advised my own brothers how to fill up their yards with feeder cattle,” he said. The Benson family farm is In Idaho. The secretary has no such advice for wbat he calls “the fly-by-nights.” They are the amateurs who jumped into the cattle business as prices zoomed in recent years. The current price squeeze may have driven most of them out. And Benson scorns the idea of government purchase of Hie cattle to hold or boost prices. There has been support for that in congress, and from some stockmen, too. Benson said he had checked personally with leadere in the processing, distributing and producing of beef since the house agriculture committee asked on Oct. 16 that the government begin a live cattle purchase program. He said none of them though’ the plan practicable or that the

Stall Os Indiana Buys Packing Plant Will Pfocess Food For Institutions f■ 7 i INDIANAPOLIS, UP — Indian* has bought a meat packing concern to process food for four state institutions. The state purchased for $40,000 the Wolf Packing Co. at Michigan City and plans to have it operated by Indiana state prison, located less than two miles from the company. Presumably, inmates of the prison would work in the plant. Announcement of the purchase said the plant will be operated to provide meat for the prison, the Norman M. Beatty memorial hospital at Westville, the Logansport state hospital and the northern Indiana hospital for crippled children'at South Bend. The deal included 10 acres of ground, a four-room house, a refrigerated truck and a livestock truck. \ The state expects to save $20,000 to $30,000 a year in meat purchases for ths four institutions. Edmond 8. Talucci, director, of state institutions, said the state raises most of its own livestock tor institutional meat supplies. In ,the past, he said, professional butchers have slaughtered the animals on a competitive bidding basis. Talucci said the state hopes to expand its stocks of meat animals and butcher its own meat for all state institutions.

government safely could undertake it. - The department asked 23 farm and livestock groups for their views on cattle supports. Only one group, so far, has rpoposed government purchase of live cattle. That wgs the Farmers Union. The interview began like this; •'Mr. Secretary, Rep. Dewey Short R J Mo. has been teliiug home state audiences that unless something, is deme for the farmer quick’y there will be damn few cows and no, Republicans in Missouri. What about that?" * ■ • • • "6ur present, program is the only practical approach to\tbd whole question," Benson replied, “We have been unable to find a practical, feasible way to buy live ahhnalt; We have had some experience in buying! phrtshartdes — buttdr, potatoes, eggs,” •He indicated he wanted no more such experience if he cqUld avoid it. But he said the present program of buying beef had the same market effect as would the purr chase of live cattle. “The trouble was with the fly-by-night feeders — the doctors arid dentists and others who rushed into the battle busihess. There was some similar buying* of Weeding stock, too, but most of the expansion was by fly-by-nights. The number of cattle increased by d.OOO.tPP in 1951 and again in 1952. The crash had to come. x . ' “it was drought aggravated this / problem and forced additional liquidation o» beef cattle herds. But I believe now that the number of cattle has reached its peak. Normally the upward cycle would have run a couple more years, in the months ahead — next year — the situatio i will stablize still further. ‘By refusing to buy live cattle we have avoided a fiasco.” The cattle count began to ri.ie in 1943 from 77,000,090 at that time to 93.700,000 last Jan. 1. Benson thinks there has been no increase this year. The high in cattle prices came in 1961. The average for all grades is down today 46 percent from the 1951 figure, and a great many cattle raisers are demasding ,Benson’s scalp.
