By CHRISTINE BRZOZOWSKI
Battalion Reporter
Former U.S. Secretary of Ag
riculture Earl Butz told members of
the Bryan Knife and Fork Club
Tuesday night that America has got
to get over this “cheap food policy”
and keep the profit picture for farm
ers looking good.
Butz, who addressed the group
after a dinner held in the Memoriad
Student Center, said certain
senators from non-agricultural
states campaign with promises of
cutting the cost of food to consum
ers, without considering what that
means to the farmer.
Butz said that can only mean less
productivity on the farm, in a nation
he said ranked last in the increase of
productivity of non-farm labor last
year.
“Our need is to get the whole
nation back to work,” Butz said,
“we’ve got to get strong again.”
Butz made several references to
how well-fed Americans are com
pared to people of other nations.
“Two-thirds of the people in the
world go to bed hungry, while two-
thirds of Americans go to bed wor
rying if they are going to stay on
their diets,” Butz said.
Schools like Texas A&M give
farmers new ideas and technology to
try new farming techniques, said
Butz, who was dean of Purdue Uni
versity’s college of agriculture.
Americans need to support such col
leges so that “the only limiting fac
tor (to better farming) is imagina
tion,” he said.
“Can we feed 7 billion people bv
the year 2000?” Butz said. “Of
course we can. The question is, can
we feed them well.” Butz called this
mankind’s number one challenge.
“I don’t care whether that body is
in Tandonesia or in Texas — as soon
as the Lord breathes life into that
body, it has a right to food. ”
Butz said American agriculture,
which annually has 40 percent of its
products left over to sell, has a tre
mendous lesson to give the rest of
the nation.
He said it with a quote from Wen-
dall Wilke, who ran for president
against FDR in 1940, ‘“Only the
strong can be free,; only the produc
tive can be strong’ — How I wish
we could broadcast that from border
to border, from coast to coast.”

pilot, sqett iwyp Jimmy Carter and Ronald
lagan debated on national TV last
;ht, candidates for local offices
ed their views at a Meet the Can-
lates Forum sponsored by The
ague of Women Voters of Brazos
mnty.
The Forum, which was held at
TiSOp.m. at the Brazos Center, was
lerated by League member
ithy Leabo.
landidates were allowed to make
ree minute opening statement
a d then respond to questions sub-
n Wed by members of the audience.
A ler responding to their opponents
v ws, they concluded with a three
I nute closing statement.
I Approximately 60 persons heard
I ididates for State Senator District
re, Brazos County Attorney,
unty Commissioner of Precinct
ree, and Constable of Precincts
mr and Seven state their qualifica-
, „ a^ns and positions on the issues.
EMWMWF .Headlining the debates were can-
~didates for State Senator N.A.
IIP I McNeil (Rep.) and Kent A. Caper-
g I J ton (Dem.).
McNeil opened his statements by
ing that his campaign was based
on morality, integrity and leader
ship. He criticized Caperton for
'Supporting legalized abortion, stat
ing that he (Caperton) had accepted
over $2000 in contributions from a
pro-abortion group.
I Caperton countered by saying
that he was more qualified and able
to handle the problems of the posi
tion than was McNeil.
When asked what one piece of
jslation they would like to in-
uce and have passed in their
first year of office, both candidates
responded that higher salaries for
school teachers was their main point
of concern.
a| McNeil said that he favors fund-
ing these pay raises through a wind-
pi profits tax, while Caperton said
that he feels the money is already
available in the state budget but
needs to be given a much higher
priority.
Another topic addressed to both
candidates concerned their posi
tions regarding the future of the
Permanent University Fund.
Caperton said that he feels the
fund must remain intact, but funds
must be provided to support other
state supported institutions.
McNeil agreed with Caperton on
this point saying that no changes
should be made in the distribution
of available fund money.
Candidate for Brazos County At
torney Jeftrey K. Brown (Rep.) at
tacked his incumbent opponent
John M. Barron Jr. by calling his
record “dismal at best” and saying
that “now is not the time for ex
cuses.”
Barron replied that he had much
more experience, better qualifica
tions and great dedication to his job.
He defended his record, saying that
all of Brown’s charges of ineptitude
were either minute details blown
out of proportion, or completely un
true.
Also taking part in the forum
were candidates for County Com
missioner of Precinct Three Billy E.
Beard (Rep.), incumbent H. L.
“Bud” Cargill (Dem.), candidates
for Constable of Precinct Four,
Paul E. Madison (Rep.) and Richard
Fronterhouse (Dem.), and candi
dates for Constable of Precinct Se
ven, Winfred E. Pittman (Rep.) and
E. W. Sayers (Dem.).
The League of Women Voters
sponsored this event in an effort to
better acquaint the community with
the candidates and issues of the up
coming elections.

PORTLAND — Officials of Boots
& Coots Inc., a well fire-fighting
team based in Houston, Tuesday
tried to redirect flames at a blown-
out gas well upward instead of out
ward.
If successful, the team may be
able to determine if the gas well,
which has been burning for 11 days,
can be capped. Flames from the
well have been shooting 30 to 40
feet from the hole.
Rick Baker, an official with the
fire-fighting company, said Monday
that if inspection shows the well
cannot be capped, the only way to
contol the fire would be to drill two
relief wells at a cost of about $3
million.
Richard Phillips of Phillips and
Spradley, operator of the well, said
plans to drill the relief wells were
proceeding.
