Honor Farmers For Production Three of the nation's most efficient soybean farmers have received citations from Secretary of Agiculture Earl L. Butz for their outstanding c o m p l e t e m a n a g e m e n t programs to help meet domestic and worldwide demand for soybean food and oil products. They are 1972 winners of the National Soybean Efficiency awards, sponsored annually by the National Soybean Crop Improvement council, research arm cf the National Soybean Processors association. Managing director Robert W. Judd, Urbana, 111., said the awards recognize growers who excell in efficient production and harvesting management. "The real challenge today is in higher yields per acre and added net profits", said Judd. "Each of the growers who have received this award recognize the profit potentials and op­ portunities in well-managed soybean production." The winning soybean growers include: Midwest region, John Reiser, Jr., I, 111.; Southeast region, ieH Stevens, Hurlock, Md., and Mid-South region, James Fox. Obion. Tenn. The NSCIC awards are based not only on yields-per-acre and average yields for total acreage, but also in the management of the land in relation to ail crops, such as "double-cropping" in areas where this is possible. Two of the winners earned their awards on the basis of growing two crops on the same land during the 1971 season, a c h i e v i n g o u t s t a n d i n g 1 production on a single-crop basis. P McCLORY REPORTS F r o m W a s h i n g t o n The significance of the 60th Conference of the Inter- Parliamentary union meeting held last week in the Cameroon is evidenced by the agenda erf subjects discussed. T h i s i n t e r n a t i o n a l organization, comprised of C o n g r e s s i o n a l o r Parliamentary representatives from more than sixty nations, was organized originally by representatives from the Netherlands, Great Britain and France in 1889. After laying the groundwork for the World court, international con­ ferences on subjects of mutual concern have been held throughout the succeeding years. Since 1955, the organization has taken on special significance with the participation of represen­ tatives from the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and a number of other Communist or one-party parliamentary nations While the type of freely- elected representative government as found in Great Britain, France and the United States, has no true counterpart in the totalitarian systems, the semi-annual IPU conferences afford opportunities to en­ courage more democratic practices - even in the Com­ munist-controlled nations. What is more important, is that subjects such as (a) protection of the human en­ vironment, (b) the fight against drug abuse, and (c) vocational education and job training programs in the developing countries, provide opportunities for sharing in­ formation and advice which can benefit each of the par­ ticipating countries as well as the world as a whole. The IPU's Educational, Scientific and Cultural com­ mittee, upon which this member of Congress serves, is discussing the need for close cooperation in controlling water and air pollution and the protection of natural and human resources for the benefit cf all nations. The six tie the onfere nee of Uie Inter-Parliamentary union saw the participation of some 500 parliamentary representatives from all parts of the world. Our United States group, headed by Congressman Edward -J. Deryrinski of Illinois, included such other legislative leaders as Senators Birch Bayh of Indiana, William B. Saxbe of Ohio and Ernest F. Hollings of South Carolina, as well as Representatives John Jarman of Oklahoma, Alexander Pirnie cf New York, Lee Hamilton of Indiana, Charles Wilson irf California, and Paul G. Rogers of Florida.
