University of California Pamphlet - Agriculture
The attached pamphlet "Projections Relating to California Agriculture
in 1975" has been sent along by Ralph Bunje, our "Farmers for Nixon"
Chairman. You will note it deals with several commodities and
also projected land and water resources and requirements in 1975.
It would appear to be good source material for agricultural audiences.

Dear Ray:
It was good to hear from you, and thanks for your invitation.
Frankly, Ray, as things are developing, it appears
doubtful Dick Nixon will be down that way in the immediate
future. Much as I would like to join you at a Rotary Luncheon,
this too would have to be kept in somewhat of a pending state.
I am sure you recognise the problems involved with the
scheduling for the next few months, but at the same time,
want you to know your thoughtfulness in writing is
appreciated by one and all.
I am wondering if you would be interested in letting us have
your thoughts in connection with farm problems and issues.
The Task Force working on issue material is chairmanned by
Hugh Flournoy, and I feel sure he would appreciate contact
with you if you feel this would be appropriate from your angle.
Let me have any ideas you have and whether or not you
might be free to assist us in this connection.
Thanks again for writing, and very best wishes.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear Bob,
We have been watching from a distance your present int-
teresting end very important employment. And wishing you all
the best.
It cannot come as news to you that "e live in a very strong
Republican precinct here in Rancho Santa Te. What I would like
to suggest is a visit to our Rotaiy Club some day when you
and/or your candidate have time for a quiet lunch and a
game of golf either before or after. We can nuomise you a
small but enthusiastic audience, and one of the nastiest
golf courses this side of the Cld Course at St Andrews.
Cur meeting day is Friday, 12:30, at the Inn, and we are open
to almost any date you can manage this spring.
In this or any other way, I should be glad to be of some help
to you in the coming months.
Yours very sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
To:
RN
From: Bill Stover
Re:
Campaign Approach to Agriculture
In a separate memo for the black book 1 have outlined superficially
what I think will be the principal issues of concern to farmers in the campaign.
Here I want to make a suggestion concerning your approach which I think
is of far greater importance to success among the farmers than is your stand
on any issue - namely your display of a lively interest (a la Page Belcher).
The first and prime step is for you to meet soon with an Agricultural
Advisory Group representative of various crops and area and knowledgeable on
the various issues. There are two good reasons for this meeting:
1. These people can help you develop positions dn the issues. The
meeting should be held before you have set out your positions, as
these people would of course resent being just window-dressing.
The black book material outlines the issues I believe should be
discussed.
2. Your show of interest and understanding would stimulate enthusiasm
for the cause among a group which is now, frankly, not enthusiastic.
They are for you, but just not very excited - probably largely
because of:
1. Mitchell; and
2. A general cynicism re politics and agriculture.
-2-
The attitude of John Newman is typical. (He is a member of the
State Board of Agriculture, of the Sunkist & Edison Company Boards, and
was prime organizer and first President of the Council of California Growers,
which has done a superb public relations job for California agriculture the last
two years). He really gets around the state and would be first on my list for
any advisory group.
I had a friend sound John out about helping give some ideas re
agribulture. The report back was that he just didn't have time. I went and
cornered him a fter a Sunkist meeting last week and told him I wanted to
volunteer to you a list of farm types to call on for advice. He said he would send
some names but that he would have no time to help and that while he guessed he
was for you he might be for any Republican candidate who showed the most spark
and interest.
Two days later, John called me with a suggested group (list attached)
and said he knew he could get this group together with you and would join them -
if they knew it was called not just for publicity but for the real purpose of
getting their thoughts. He actually sounded enthusiastic about the prospect -
which is indicative of the gains to be made by this approach. I think it is
urgent that this be followed up soon.
SUGGESTED FARM ADVISORY GROUP
A. Per John Newman:
1. John Newman - Oxnard-Ventura; Citrus Manager, Utt
Development Company. Member of Board of the State Board
of Agriculture, Sunkist and Edison Companies. Organiser
and immediate past president of Council of California Growers.
2. Richard Rathbone - Fresno; cotton grower
3. Earl Blaser - Live Oak, Sutter County: Fruit Growers
President, California Canners and Growers.
4. Gordon Van Vleck - Sloughhouse, Sacramento County, cattle-
man; President, California Cattlemen's Association.
5. Keith Mets - Holtville, Imperial Valley; Cattleman and truck
crops; President, Council of Cal ifornia Growers.
6. Richard Johnson, Jr. - Sacramento; Executive Secrdary,
Agricultural Council of California.
7. Ralph Bunje - San Francisco; Manager, California Canning
Peach Association.
8. Northern California tomato grower to be suggested by Newman.
The above would make about the smallest representative group.
B. Others whom RN might consider are:
1. Jack Miller - Director of the Agricultural Producers Labor
Committee.
2. William Camp - Fresno; cotton; good Democrat.
3. S. V. Christierson - Salinas; lettuce; on State Board of
Agriculture.
