W e s t e r n E u r o p e ' s agricultural programs are gearing up like never before to produce food, she said. "Our competition isn't going to go away." Hughes was among SO members of the Illinois Agriculture Leadership Foundation which spent 17 days this spring touring France, Netherlands, Belgium, Ger­ many and Switzerland. The group met with trade ministry officials, agricultural groups and a few private farmers in an effort to assess the agricultural policy of the European Economic Community (Com­ mon Market) and how it relates to the United States. Hughes Said the governments of the countries she visited pay farmers to produce less ef­ ficiently, raising the prices paid to farmers, then dumping the crops on the world market at a "Everybody is producing and it's not being consumed and we have all this excess food sitting around here," Hughes said. She acknowleged this policy is due in part to limited storage capacity, but that does not soften the end result: "We're storing the world reserve, which they're undercutting," Hughes said. Hughes said she believes that the United States contributes to spurgeon's McHENRY MARKET PLACE 385-4100 Now thru Sunday! Sale ends July 1st JUNE WHITE SALE Save $5 Pair!

"If we made them pay their way, they wouldn't be able to afford the common agricultural policy," she said. "The fact that the European community runs at all is amazing." Hughes attributed Western Europe's agricultural sucess to several factors: ^ -A vested interest. Eight percent of the population is involved directly with agriculture in the Common Market, she said, compared to a maximum of 3 percent in this country. -Organization. Farmers speak with one voice in Western Europe, Hughes said, and have strong unions. "They carry a lot more clout for their numbers in Europe than here." -Philosophical support. "They have strong political motivation to unify what was a fragmented Europe and be self- sufficient," Hughes said. She pointed out that the continent has been the battleground of two world wars in this century and that the communist threat is far closer there. Agricultural in­ terdependence is a means of achieving that unity, she said. -Tradition. "There's a social purpose for keeping people on the farms," Hughes said. The small, independent farm is a tradition in the European Economic Community members in Western Europe. Hughes believes there is a similar attitude about preser­ ving the family farm in this country. They're not as different as Americans might think, she added. Illinois has its dairy subsidies and Payment-In-Kind programs. "We point out the differences, but sometimes the lines get a little wavy," she said. Despite quotas, European farms are diversified. A variety of crops are brought to market daily. Fewer canned goods are consumed, Hughes said, which eliminates middle men and holds down costs. Hughes said about 16 to 17 percent of U.S. disposable in­ come goes for food, compared to 18 to 20 percent in the Common Market countries she vMfeetf: France has large farms relative to it neighbors, averaging about 250 acres. The average farm in McHenry County is 215 acres, according to the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service. Western Europe encompasses high technology, made par­ ticularly apparent to Hughes by a stop in Greece. Workers still till the fields by hand and use donkeys to move produce. •> "I didn't see a field big enough to put a combine in, but I saw a combine," Hughes said. Western Europe is more mechanized, but on a small For Your Information Dear friends, "Older people have proved te be especially suitable for working wfth han­ dicapped childran.

(mora noxt wook) scale compared to the United States. Hughes said rural com­ munities still reflect their feudiu beginnings. "You don't see homes scattered around, they're clustered ih the villages," shfe said. Farms form the outer ring of a village, often with the barn attached to the house. .. TTiere are no suburbs, ilie city quickly gives way to rolling farmland. Ttoere are no fenced. Good farmland is scarce and consequently the Europeans ute every square inch. "Tliey use everything," Hughes said. Even leaf trimmings are used foi" burning or to reinforce em- bankment8 against erosion. "It don't think we appreciate the land resource we have in this country," she commented. Hughes said guaranteeing repayment of loans made to foreign countries to buy agricultural products would prompt farmers to produce. more and sell abroad. Beefing up an exporter's credit is another option. "Everybody is growing and nobody knows where it's going," Hughes said, but she added thai the day of reckoning is ap­ proaching for Western Europe. "With the economy slowing down and the cost of thole programs increasing, theyH have to face the issue of how to finance the program or cut down production." Hughes believes the answer is not U.S. protectionism, but better communication. "Too often we argue on our own terms," she said, rather than looking at a problem from their perspective. As a people, we don't understand the Europeans as well as they un­ derstand us, Hughes said. "It was so embarrassing." The key to expanding U.S. markets is to identify what Western Europeans want from us, not try to sell them what we want we deem is proper, Hughes said. .: "We try to change each other to our way rather than realizing there are diffences," she added. "We have to identify those differences and learn how to make them work for us, rather than against us.'* SIBLING CLA8S Siblings-to-be can prepare for their new baby at Good Shepherd's sibling class on Saturday, July 14.
