Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, August 26, 1965 THE BATTALION Specialist Outlines Many Changes In Current U. S. Farming Picture \ ■ { r , i j 1 lH^~ By James E. Kirby Agricultural Extension Service Changing economic conditions under which the American farmer has operated for more than four decades have long outranked the weather as a dominant threat to his economic survival. Many have not survived. Farmers as a percent of the total U. S. population have been declining for many years, but the actual decline in numbers of farmers did not begin until World War II. Since this movement started, there have been revolu tionary changes in farm size, in land use, and in technological applications. This revolution in rural Amer ica has caused the farmer, who has chosen to remain on the farm, to constantly search for ways to be more economically efficient to stay in business. One of these ways is to in- Bill Altman ’65 College Master Representative Fidelity Union Life 846-8228 crease production without a sim ilar increase in costs. This is accomplished either through use of improved practices on the same amount of land or by increasing the number of acres where factors of production can be used more profitably on the larger acreage. As a result of these changes, the small farm, under $5,000 in sales, has decreased steadily in numbers since 1939. The farm unit selling between $5,000 and $10,000 in products increased in the 1940’s but de clined in number of units in the 1950’s. It is the farm with gross sales over $10,000 that has grown steadily in number. In this larger economic segment, the family farm is the fastest growing group. Dairying, field crops—except cash grain and cotton—and poultry are the types of farms most numer ous in this expanding sector. In Texas, 79 percent of all farm marketings are from farms with gross sales of more than $10,000. Most of the Mountain and Pacific states have units as large or larger. In California, Arizona and Nevada, over 90 percent of the farm marketings are from units with gross sales greater than $10,000. The other end of the scale is the Appalachian Re gion where only about 40 percent of the farms operate above this economic level. The total number of farm units in the nation declined from 5.8 million in 1939 to about 3.4 mil lion in 1964. Of this 2.4 million decrease in actual numbers, 95 percent were in farms producing less than $2,500 in gross sales. The number of farms with gross sales of $10,000 or more increased 159 percent from 1949 to 1959, but their average market ings per farm increased only 20 percent. These farms now include 56 percent of all land in farms, compared with 40 percent in 1949. Beacause many farm units have increased their economic size without increasing their acreage, the average size of farms with sales more than $10,000 has de creased. In 1949 the average size was 963 acres, in 1959 it was 795 acres. The increase in the size of economic farm units has not sig nificantly altered the proportion of land tenure operators. About 55 percent of farm land is still operated by the owner, 35 percent by renters, and 10 percent by paid managers. 2 A&M Profs Tropics Bound More information about tropi cal rainfall patterns is the goal of two Texas A&M faculty mem bers who leave Thursday for Central and South America. Assistant Professor Walter K. Henry and Instructor Glenn Cobb will spend three weeks on their fourth trip southward to gather data. The Army Signal Corps sponsors the research. The A&M researchers will con tact ranchers, farmers, lumber companies, governmental agenc ies and anyone else with rain fall records. This is the first year for the project to include Venezuela, the Guianas and Brazil. Last year the researchers visited Colombia and the west coast of South America. The gathering of tropical rain fall data is preliminary to ef forts to understand the patterns. r ARTIST’S SKETCH OF A&M CYCLOTRON construction is underway on the $6 million project.

It will occupy a 10-acre site at the corner of Spence Street and Farm Road 60 on the main campus. Expected to be completed in mid-1967, it will be comparable to the 88-inch cyclotron at the Law rence Radiation Laboratories in Berkeley Calif. Basically, a cyclotron is a de vice for accelerating various nu clear particles to energies which will enable these particles to pen etrate the nuclei! of atoms. The cyclotron being built here is known as a “spiral ridge” type. The ridges focus the beam of charged particles during accelera tion and allow an increasing mag netic field within the radius of the magnet to be utilized. Other wise if the beam was not focused, it would have a tendency to di verge and become useless. The cyclotron will be capable of accelerating protons to energies of 55 million electron volts (Me- V), deuterons to 65 MeV and alpha particles to 130 MeV. $6 million has been provided for the building and the cyclotron proper. The Atomic Energy Com mission is granting $3 million for construction of the cyclotron proper; the Robert A. Welch Foundation is donating $1 million for the ion-optics system and sup port equipment; Texas A&M will contribute $2 million for the building and laboratories. The building itself will be di vided into two main sections. The first unit, which consists of a basement, sub-basement and first story, will be used for offices, laboratories, engineering, control, counting areas and machine shops. The second part is known as the “high bay” area and will house the cyclotron proper. The com bined area will be approximately 45,000 square feet. Nearness to the physics and chemistry departments was a fat- tor in selecting the building site, It will also be convenient to the Data Processing Center since a hookup between the computer and the cyclotron is anticipated. Dr. A. D. Suttle, Jr., vice-pres ident for research at Texas AM, is the project manager for the Cyclotron Institute. Directly under him are three main departments; (1) Science and Research Pro gram headed by Dr. J. A. Me- Intire, (2) Administration Support directed by Dr. D, A, Clark and (3) Engineering, Con struction and operations which is under the supervision of Me- Farlin. McFarlin said the cyclotron would be used primarily for nu clear research, chemistry, activa tion analysis, radiation biology and engineering sciences.

He heads the Texas A&M School of Business Administra tion which long has offered man agement programs. Varied business and industrial firms in the Southwest turn to Texas A&M for managers. Men — usually in their 30s or 40s — come to the A&M campus for periods of up to three weeks. The rapid changes confronting industry are behind the increas ed interest in specialized pro grams for managers, Dr. Pearson said. “The management development programs we provide would be very difficult for individual firms to conduct,” he noted. Dr. Pearson said some of the nation’s largest corporations with exten sive internal training progra# send managers here. The classroom exchanges among executives from a cross section of the business and in dustrial world are one advantage of A&M’s program. The managers spend long hours in group study and discussion They hold conferences with busi nessmen of national reputation. Dr. Pearson said the trend to ward increased interest in the programs is reflected by queries concerning the Management Seminar scheduled Oct. 24-30 This will be the second seminar of the year and the ninth since A&M pioneered the program in 1962-63.
