On Sunday, the Kenneth Brennan family and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Visconti joined them for a turkey dinner which was cooked on the rotfi&serie over (Editor's Note - The following is an excerpt from a speech by Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz at the fourth annual symposium ytof the California Livestock ' association at Fresno.) "We've been fighting a rather extended public and private battle these last few months over food prices, meat prices specifically, and beef prices in particular. The charges and the counter­ charges in the controversy ; sometimes have been as thick as victory claims before a primary election. I've made it quite clear where I stand on the matter. "When cattle prices in Omaha reached the level of 20 years earlier, I said - it's about time! And I meant it. After all, during the same period, farm production costs doubled and hourly wages of the nation's labor force more than doubled. "When the Price commission wanted to investigate beef prices, I said - go ahead! And I meant it. I know farmers and ranchers have nothing to hide. And, as the facts have been examined, the beef producer has grown in stature in the eyes of the public as the public gained a better understanding of the farmer's contribution to the economy, his magnificent performance in feeding the nation, and his ' burdensome problems. "Most important of all, the increased understanding of the basic soundness of the beef producer's position prevented controls from being placed on meat prices. I'm proud to have been in this fight. Shortly after the Academy Awards were presented, the Newspaper Farm Editors of America presented me with a symbolic "Wounded Steer Award" for my efforts to fight off beef price controls. And that trophy sits proudly behind my desk. "So, the beef price situation is affected by this fundamental principle - beef is a demand- dominated market. "Farmers and ranchers have increased their beef production by a magnificent two-and-a- half times in the last 20 years from 8.8 billion pounds to 21.9 billion pounds Now that's a tremendous in­ crease. Normally, an increase of two-and-a-half times in beef production - while the population increased by only about one-third - would tend to depress beef prices. But it has not. "Beef prices have not been depressed because this in­ crease in production has been in response to a remarkable increase in beef demand. In fact, in the last 20 years, annual beef consumption per person in this country has doubled - from 56 pounds per person 20 years ago to 115 pounds per person today. "Factors responsible for doubling our demand for beef: "The rising affluence of the American consumer - rising real wages have had a marked effect upon buying habits. People want beef - and as they have enjoyed more and more real wages, they have been buying more and more beef - and better quality beef, too. This is by far the greatest single factor in increased beef consumption. "Substantial increases in the Food Stamp Program - Food Stamp expenditures have leaped from $250 million in fiscal year 1969 to $1.9 billion during fiscal year 1972 - a 660 per cent increase. In April of 1972, 11.5 million people were participating in the Food Stamp Program. One of the first items purchased with added dollars in the food budget by consumers eligible for Food Stamps is meat, preferably beef.' v-Qiiua ) years / s in 1951 in 1971. charcoal.
