Farmers try to muster strike support.

A participant in the American Agriculture Movement farmers' strike last night called Bob Bergland, secretary of agriculture, a "stool pigeon," and said government leaders were not interested in farmers' problems.
"Farming is a business that all should be interested in and it shouldn't end up like a Las Vegas crap game," Emer Jones, the farmer and farm implement dealer, said.
The only way farmers could reach their goals, then send, would be to have farmers move them out of the country.
Jones and three other volunteers working in the American Agriculture Movement, which launched the strike Dec. 14, spoke to about 80 people at a meeting of the KU Young Democrats last night in the Council Room of the Kansas Union.
BEFORE THE STRIKE began, farmers threatened to stop the sale and production of all agricultural products. Strike supporters also said they would not buy any farm equipment or other product supplies unless their demands of 100 percent parity were
"Parity is nothing but a minimum wage for farmers," Jones said. "Parity is not a maximum wage."
One-hundred percent parity is the price for which a farmer must sell his products to break even and make a modest profit. The price of most farm products has not increased at the same rate as most non-farm products.
Reil Leonff, Enterprise farmer and rancher, said prices for farm products had become so low that some farmers were forced to apply for food stamps.
RIFLEF SAID HE learned Wednesday he was eligible for $20 a month in food stamps because his 1976 tax return showed that his income that year was zero
Riffle will leave Sunday with 46 other farmers to lobby in Washington.
"If you don't believe we're in trouble, we can show you." Rifal said.
Steve Caplinger, Eiffingham farmer, said that if farmers could not get any satisfaction out of their efforts, they would not plant their crops.
Jones, whose speech several times brought a applause and a few "amens" from the audience, said that if the famer lost in the strike, the consumer also would lose.
"If farmers let this thing fail, it will be their own fault," Jones said. "They can't build new crops."

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
In Ezekiel 44:24 God says: "And in controversy they shall stand in My judgments; and they shall judge it according to My judgments; and they shall keep My laws and My statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall halow My Sabbaths." They are invited to consider some of God's judgments regarding the fact that there is considerable controversy in this matter these days:
This question is the opening words of the Second Psalm Of The Bible, God Almighty's Book and revelation of Himself to man. "A heathen in one who does not believe in the God of God," wrote Digby of his Mioral Law, Judgment, His Ten Commandments.

There was a man named Cain. He came to worship God and brought an offer, God did not want what he brought and would not accept it. Cain got mad. God killed his brother and accepted the offer, God worshiped was a curse and not a blessing. - Genesis 4:3-12

Gov. Robert F. Bennett took a reprise last night by traveling to Lawrence, where he answered a few questions and drank a few beers.
Bennett spoke to the College Republicans in the Forum Room in the Kagansk Union.
Bennett said a final decision on the appointments to replace two Kansas Regents whose terms expire this week would be made next week. A number of individuals are being considered, including some relatively inexperienced members of one of the state's universities.
BENNETT ALSO discussed a bill that would provide a tuition waiver to medical students who promise to practice medicine in Kansas after graduation for a set period
"A sudden jump in tuition would be self-destructive," Bennett said. "So the program even faced a question a student who met with the teacher in Kansas can have a waiver on their tuition."
The bill was the result of a study that showed that regular university student's tuition covered about 22 percent of the cost of their education. Medical school tuition covers only 10 to 12 percent of the cost of medical students' education, Bennett said. The increase tuition at the KU Medical Center equaled the equated other学生学费 m
Bennett said the program had "tremendous potential."
BENETT'S EVENING with the College Republicans ended at the Jayhawk Cafe, where he relaxed with a beer and spoke about his college days at KU.
cent tax the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University would each get one cent. Pittsburg State University, Emporia State University and Fort Hays State University would receive the remaining two cents.
BUT APTER EVERETT discovered that the five-cent tax would raise more than $45 million. The tax rate was 18%.
packages sold last year, he decided to lower the proposed tax to three cents.
Under his new plan, the Kansas Board of Regents would receive a lump sum from the state.
Women's athletics and minor sports such as gymnastics and swimming would benefit from better facilities.
