In remarks to the farmers’ con

tional dialogue on the American
farming structure to stave off control
of the nation’s food production sys
tem by “a handful of giant
operators.”
Bergland suggested government
farm, tax and credit policies may
have accelerated a trend toward
fewer farms and that trend will con
tinue unless policy changes are
made.

‘routine’ resignation

United Press International
WASHINGTON — Agriculture
Secretary Bob Bergland said Tues
day his plans to resign at the end of
President Carter’s first term would
be merely a routine gesture usually
taken by high officials at the end of a
presidential term.
Bergland said he would submit
his resignation to President Carter,
adding, “I have no notion whether
he’d want me back for another four
years.” .
He noted that it was significant
that no one has resigned from Car
ter’s original Cabinet. “It’s a good
team,” he said.
At the Kansas City news confer
ence, Bergland said, “I will resign in
1981” after Carter is re-elected.
“That’s common practice for
Cabinet members.”
He said he was certain Carter
would be re-elected.
At that time, Bergland would not
elaborate when asked more specific
questions about his planned resigna
tion.

“I, for one, do not want to see an
America where a handful of giant
operators own, manage and control
the entire food production system,”
Bergland said.
“Yet that is where we are headed,
if we don’t act now.”
The secretary said the current
farm system has worked to feed
Americans and the world at a rea
sonable cost and has been a
“stabilizing influence in global poli
tics and the world economy.”
But he said “an unending trend
toward larger and larger and fewer
and fewer farms” may not be in the
nation’s longterm interest.
“Something has been lost,” he
said. “Something of lasting worth.
And the loss is felt not only where it
occurs, but also in urban America as
well.”

RIGHT THROUGH YOUR
SEMORYEAR.
If you’re a junior or senior
majoring in sciences like
math, physics or engineering,
the Navy has a program you
should know about.
It’s called the Nuclear
Propulsion Officer Candidate-
Collegiate Program
(NUPOC-C for short) and if
you qualify, you can earn as
much as $650 a month right
through your senior year*
Then after 16 weeks of
Officer Candidate School,
you’ll get an additional year
of advanced technical
education. This would cost
thousands in a civilian school,
but in the Navy, we pay you.
It isn’t easy. There are
fewer than 400 openings and
only one of every six
applicants will be selected.
But if you make it, you’ll
have unequaled hands-on
responsibility, a $24,000
salary in four years, and gilt-
edged qualifications for jobs
both in the Navy and out.
Ask your placement
officer to set up an interview
with a Navy representative
when he visits the campus,
or contact your Navy
representative at 800-841-8000,
