LANCASTER SERVICE CENTER
QUARRYVILLE SERVICE CENTER
president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, in
an interview just before speak
ing at Thursday’s field day
assembly, advocated programs
of retraining for farmers ent
ering other industry. He urged,
also, that every possible fin
ancial aid be given to young
farm people who want to stay
in agriculture.
Shuman attacked the Ken
nedy administration’s propos
als for controlled production
as being “counter to the idea
of expanded woild trade ”
The United States, he said
must consider its approach
to agriculture problems on a
woild wide basis.
Shuman said his farm or
ganization does not now sup
port any legislation -- not
even the proposal made by the
oigamzation itself because,
he said, admimstiation sup
porters could tack on amend
ments which would make the
bills unacceptable.
•Shuman said his organiza
tion had enough strength to
kill the admimstration-back
legislation, but lacked the
power to get its own bill re
ported out of committee in the
form it wanted.
In discussing world trade
Shuman said the U.S. balance
of payments deficit requires a
“tough policy” at the bargain
ing table in which the U. S.
demands (1) full compensa
tion for concessions offered to
other countries, and (2) the
prompt removal of special im
port devices which impair con
cessions obtained through
previous negotiations.
During the dajs some 75
acres of alfalfa, corn, and sor
ghum were set aside for
demonstration of $1 million
worth of farm equipment

MH-30-halts tobacco suckers
—increases yield up to 20%
Sprayed coi recti v at full-flower stage, prevents sucker
growth to pioduce higher quality tobacco And because
remarkable MH-30 retards sucker growth chemically, it cuts
the cost and laboi of hand suckering tobacco.
More and more growers arc producing higher yields of
quality tobacco, some as high as 20%, as they eliminate back
breaking hand labor with MH-30 and increase profits. Isn’t it
time you tried it? For full information, see your local sunn’’’
