No Inkling Concerning Meat Price Controls KANSAS CITY (AP) Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz said here Wednesday night there is no inkling the Nixon Administration is considering price controls on meat. Butz told a news conference he does not foresee the imposition of price controls and noted that raw farm commodity prices had been specifically exempted when President Nixon put wage-price controls into effect last Aug. 15. Butz spoke to delegates io the National Pork Producers Council at a dinner Wednesday night.

He said there were several reasons the administration would combat any control effort. First, he said, President Nixon exempted raw agricultural prices "because he realizes that farm prices fluctuate. They can go up, but they also can come back down." He cited food perishability as another either sell it or smell it in the case of he said. Finally, Butz said, prica controls likely would be accompanied by an unwanted Siamese possibly shortages. "The way it is now, Butz said, the price of meat is high enough so there is always something there for the purchaser who wants it and low enough so grocer doesn't have any left over." Butz also had a special announcement for wheat and feed grain farmers upon hu arrival from Springfield, Mo.

He said that final set-aside acreage far too much for domestic live- sign-ups, designed to alleviate current ovcrsupplies of corn and wheat were right in the Department of Agriculture's targeted zones. The USDA had hoped U.S. farmers would idle 38 million crop acres to reduce the 1972 yields of corn and wheat and thus bring about improvement in grain prices. Yesterday's announcement in Washington said this year's set-'aside will total 37 million acres, the biggest reserve put up by farmers since the record 39.5 million two years ago. Last year's participation was down because it was feared another outbreak of Southern Corn Leaf Blight might develop.

It diid not and U.S. farmers stock feeding and export. Farm prices plunged accordingly. Butz said in his speech that productivity balance to is a inflation, counter- adding "Do people know that over last 10 the last 20 output per nuan hour has increased twice as fast as 'in manufacturing? You are doing your then soime, "Do those ho call for a lid on farm prices know that the farmers' share of the food dollar has slipped from 49 cents to 38 cents in those 20 years. Do they know that food took $23 out of each $100 of income a person made 20 years ago and only $15.60 out of $100 this that this food has in- harvested 5.5 billion bushels, I credibly more built-in con- veniences now?" In Washington, the USDA said the farm signup period began Feb.

3 and closed March 10, when enrollments also were accepted for wheat and cotton programs. Counting the three crops, more than 59 million acres will be idled under the government's 1972 set-aside programs, Under the plan, farmers agree to take a portion of their land from production in return for price-support guarantees and payments lor eligible crops grown in the remainder. Government payments under the program this year are expected to total more than $4 billion, compared with about $3.2 billion in 1971. Asst. Secretary of Agriculture Clarence D.

Palmby told news- men the total acreage to be set aside under the crop programs this year is practically on target with the go-al of about 60 million acres. The department report showed a record 1,764,551 farms were signed up in the 1972 feed- grain progr-am. The actual land enrolled to be set aside from production this year was 37,024,684 acres. Wheat farmers, in trouble because of a record crop of 1.6 billion bushel's last year, signed up 4,982,472 acres in addition to their basic set-aside requirements. The goail for additional participation had been 5 million to 6 million acres.

The signup report said 991,346 wheat farmers were enrolled in this year's program down slightly from 1971. Wosoifols DISMISSALS i At St. Catherine Tuesday Forrest L. Day, Copelancl Mrs. David Early and baby girl, 507 Inge Edgar Vcrnon James, Friend Mrs.
