KINSIMR Governor leader Appeals for Farm Attention, Review of legislation Lancaster Fanning herewith publishes the full text of the mes sage delivered Jan. "16, 1956 by. George M. Leader, Governor of the Commonwealth otf Pennsyl vania): To the Honorable, the Members of th<e General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: For many years our Common wealth has enjoyed the benefits of a vigorous and progressive farm community which has con tributed to prosperity and has 'won for us National acclaim. Today our Pennsylvania farm ers, along with the farmers of the Nation are caught in a vise of rising costs for the things they buy and declimng prices for their crops As a result, the Cash in come of Pennsylvania farmers has fallen off more than ten per cent m the past three years. Although the agricultural econ omy is basically a National prob lem, there are areas in which you, as legislators, and I, as Gov ernor, can act to assist this vital segment of our population. I ask that both Houses re view the status of legislation affecting agriculture and that such legislation be given prompt attention. A number of bills have been introduced in the Legislature to make Certain that the farmer gets “what he pays for -When he purchases feeds, fertilizers or seeds. House Bill 1*560 which is now in the Senate is a new Com mercial feed biil codifying and modernizing our basic law dealing with the manufacture and sale of livestock and poultry feeds It requires a disclosure of basic elements which make up the feed itself and provides for a fee not exceeding five cents a ton to establish a fund which will make its enforcement self-supporting. Similarly, a bill protecting the farmer from misrepresentation with regard to the chemical con tent of fertilizers and codifying our law pertaining to fertilizers has been introduced into the House. It provides for new pro ducts such las liquid fertilizer, re quiring a full disclosure of its contents be made to the pur chaser- The bill also makes ‘pro vision for licencing fees which will make its enforcement finan cially self-supporting. ' Two minor but important bills protect the farmer against mis representation when purchasing seeds or plants. These bills, House Bill 1048 and House Bill 1277, hre now pending in the Senate. Research which will help the farmer eradicate disease, improve production and help develop new markets is the purpose of House Bill 1584 now in the Senate- It appropriates $500,000 for re search at Pennsylvania State University. Its basic purpose is to promote research in animal husbandry, dairy sciences and poultry husbandry from which Pennsylvania farmers derive 78 per cent of their cash income. Recent financial failure of cer tain dealers has again high-lighted (the necessity for an adequate licensing and bonding law In our Commonwealth. I urge that bon ding legislation which will pro tect our Peunsylyania farmers against losses arising out of financial failure of those to whom they have sold their crops 'be enacted at this session. Many of our farmers cahoot survive the impact of such losses of their limited cash income. Of course, the prompt enact ment of an appropriation bill to finahce the Department of ‘Agri culture itself is vital. Includedin the Department’s budget -is an item which contemplates a more faggresiVe program to pro'ihote Pennsylvania farm products. Un fortunately, agricultural products have not had the benefit of an intensive publicity campaign which will allow them to compete successfully with many compet itive products. To name just one, I would -suggest -that the -use of •tailk as-a beverage distributed through vending -machines has •sCarcely 'been explored. m*!s my- hope that the Department would be furnished an adequate budget which would permit the establish ment of an intensive promotion program to encourage the use of such farm products. It is my hope that the Senate will give serious consideration to House Bill 730 now pending on, calendar which allows techni cians to draw blood under pullo rum disease testing programs. As the flaw now stands, only li censed veterinarians are author ized to take such blood samples and in many areas veterinarians are carrying worflc loads that make it difficult for them to perform this important service for oiir farmers. For a number of years our live stock farmers have urged our Commonwealth to establish an open livestock show. Such a show can be operated economically by the modest addition of 50 thousand-dollars to the budget of the Department. Senate Bill 791, Which has bipartisan sponsorship, contemplates such a program and I would -ask that this legislation he given favorable consideration by both Houses. Favorable consideration should be given to House B;I1 861 now in the. Senate which removes the $12,000 -per year limit which counties may allocate for agricul tural and home economics ex tension Work The vital impor tance of this work to our farm community is -familiar to you and need not be detailed here- Sim ilarly, House Bill 1295 which ap propriates $30,000 for the holding of 'six regional and one State wide Junior Dairy Shows should be acffed upon favorably. It is on these members of the 4-H and Future farmers of America Clubs that the future of Pennsylvania agriculture depends. There is another area of legis lation administered by our De partment of Agriculture which is important to bur consumers as well as to our farm community I refer to legislation guaranteeing the purity of foods and beverages and the accuracy of represent ation regarding such products. An entirely neVv General Food Bill is being introduced in the House which will safeguard the health and the pocketbobk of our con sumers and at the Same time protect food processors and far mers (against competition from sub-standard food products The Bill represents the co operative effort of the Public Health Law Research Project of the University of Pittsburgh; Dr Joseph W E. Harrison and.Dr R. Adams Dutcher, of Pennsyl vania State University; Dr. Wil liam J Schiller of Pittsburgh, the Pennsylvania Department of Ag riculture; and other authorities on the subject. It bias been drafted by the Department of Justice at my request. The new General Food Bill now being introduced substantially fol lows the provisions of the Uniform State Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act which-was drafted by the Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, but is limited to those provisions dealing with food. (It does not incorporate provisions dealing with drugs and cosm etics). You Inay be surprised to know that the new Bill represents the flfst revision of our General Food Law 'Since 1909- This modern version has been strengthened and made more specific “Where necessary to bring it into COnforjnity with presCnt day food standards. It provides broader definitions Of adulteration and misbranding and the additional feature of making it unlawful to advertise falsely- Recognizih'g that certain food items require the addition of sub stances which are deleterious to health, the Bill provides for es tablishment of tolerances for such substances. It also provides for the dissemination of information regarding 'f 6od by "the Secretary of Agriculture when such Infor mation will protect public health 'and safeguard the consumer against fraud- Lahcaster Farming, Friday, January 27, 1956—11 m SUBSCRIBER’S BONUS!

LANCASTER FARMING. QUARRYVILLE, PA. ■ m _ The proposed Act authorizes the Department of Agriculture to consult with food processor and farmer to establish standards and to draft necessary regulations. Twenty-nine other states have enacted legislation patterned after the Uniform Food Law Two bills have been introduced dealing with our beverage laws The one, House Bill 1527 revises our carbonated beverage law in accordance with recent decisions of our Supreme Court It protects the public against unproved ar tificial sweeteners which might endanger the public health and provides regulations for the use of automatic or manual dispensing equipment. A second bill re quires that all chocolate milk should contain a butter fat con tent of not less than 325 per cent by weight. This bill would protect the public against the use of inferior grades of milk for the preparation of chocolate milk and assure the farmer that such milk products use a minimum quantity of butter fat- Finally, our farm people are human beings who turn to rec reation to rekindle their minds and their spirits. I would urge that legislation be enacted which will allow our farm families to fish in farm ponds and which will at the same time hot jeopar dize the effective enforcement of our Fish Laws. I Would urge the Fish Commission to cooperate with the Legislature in drafting such legislation. If Pennsylvania is to remain in the forefront as a progressive agricultural State, it is essential that we join together in creating the best possible dlimate for farming in our Commonwealth All of the bills which I have dis cussed have an immediate and ...... 1 A.
