USDA Downplays Corporations ’ Farm Role
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Re
plying to critics who argue the
Administration has consistently
underrated the influence of giant
corporations in farming, the
Agriculture department says a
forthcoming census report will
show that corporations occupy
a very small niche in the nation's
farm economy."
This report will back up a
conclusion reached several
years ago by the department's
Economic Research Service
i F.RS i after a survey of its own.
KRS spokesmen say
The forthcoming new figures,
according to an ERS publica-
tion, will appear soon in a sum-
mary volume of the 1969 census
of agriculture which will contain
the first release of data on the
numbers and types of businesses
engaged in farming in that year
"Farm corporations, by the
1969 count, totaled 21.513 They
operated only 1.2 per cent of all
commercial farms in the U. S.
Moreover, only about 1,800 had

"Ienable Corp.” late Tuesday
more than 10 shareholders and
fewer than half of these reported
farm sales above 1100,-000," the
ERS said in an article in the
current issue of its Farm
Index" magazine
In a separate report released
by another Agriculture Depart-
ment group this week, statisti-
cians reported that in the year
ending March 1, publicly held
corporations bought and sold
only about 1 per cent of all farm
land transferred during the
year Privately-held corpor-
ations increased their net land-
holdings by purchasing 12 per

cent of all acreage transferred
while selling only 5 per cent
Government economists be-
lieve that most of the farm
corporations listed as privately
held are family-owned and
should be regarded basically as
bigger than average family
farms rather than as a part of a
major corporate agribusiness
complex
The forthcoming census re-
port. the ERS said, will show
that 8.000 of the 21.313 farm
corporations were big farms by
any standards, since they had
annual farm product sales y
$100,000 or more But the report
will also show that seven out of
eight of these big-sales farm
corporations had 10 or fewer
stockholders "and were largely
family owned," the ERS added
Even in the top sales class of
farms with annual marketings of
$100,000 and more, individually
owned farms continue to out-
number both family controlled
and public corporations, the
account said As of 1969, nearly
60 per cent of all farms in this
sales class were indivually
owned, while partnerships ac-
counted for 25 per cent of the
group and corporations for about

Try Letter,
Pentagon
Tells Major
WASHINGTON (UPII - The
Pentagon said Tuesday it was
not overly impressed with for-
mer Army Maj. Bruce D. Hart-
mtt of Tulsa, who paid $1,120 for
an ad in Monday's Washington
Post asking to talk to the
secretary of defense about the
all-volunteer Army
The Army did reply to Hartnitt
but it was not the invitation he
had hoped for Instead, they told
him next time to save his money
and invest m an eight-cent
stamp
"We don't get excited when we
see something like that," a
Pentagon spokesman said of
Hartmtt’s expensive attempt to
get the top brass' attention
"Those things are a dime a
dozen," the spokesman contin-
ued “I haven’t even read the ad
“Now, if somebody sends a
letter. . .
Hartnitt, who rose from draf-
tee in 1952 to major when he left
the service in 1968. is now
director of the evening program
and Tulsa Junior College. He
said he had studied the Army's
all-volunteer program, and with
several years of interviews with
thousands of military men to go
on, he wanted to present some 60
major ideas for improvement to
defense chief James
Schlesinger.
He said he had triad jusl about
every other approach — in-
cluding contacting the Pentagon
and various congressmen direc-
tly — but had had no luck.
The newspaper ad. he said,
was not his favorite idea, but had
been suggested to him by an
unidentified Pentagon general
as the best way to get
Schlesinger's attention
Both Tulsa Congressman
Jim Jones, a member of the
House Armed Services Com-
mittee, and Sen Dewey Bartlett.
R-Okla. said they had not
received any requests from
Hartnitt since taking office in
January
Sen Henry Bellmon's office
said they had not heard from the
Tulsan in 1972 or 1973
Hartnitt had said he met with
one Pentagon official m Bell-
mon's office in 1971, but did not
get any reaction from the mili-
tary on his suggestions then
