The retail price of milk to the consumer is one serious bone of contention. He said that PFA is for volume ms counts on mulk, and that this can be accomplished within the present framework of the law by administrative changes in the law’s application and interpretation In reporting on other legis lative matters, the secretary said there are at this moment 000 bills pending in the Sen ate. and 825 in the House for a total of 1425 150 of these effect agncultui e directly. The most serious issue at stake is the reapportionment question If the state were to reapportion its representa tives in accordance with the Supreme Com t decision, Hat field said, 12 counties would be certain to lose their repre sentatives in the House; six more would probably lose WW' Frank H.

This means that between 12-28 counties could be left without representation the final figure would probably be about 18, he estimated. Lan caster may not lose any rep resentatives, but it 'would surely lose much of the sup port previously enjoyed from other agricultural counties. In the Senate, 67 percent of the counties would lose representatives. The Senator of the future would be from ei ther Philadelphia or Pitts burgh Philadelphia now con trols practically every com mittee in the House, and even though a coalition of Republicans and upstate Dem ocrats can muster enough votes to pass a resolution for a constitutional amendment, they can’t get the bill out of the Philadelphia-dominated committees for a vote. A bill can be gotten out of commit tee if a simple majority votes a “discharge resolu tion,” but supporters hesitate to use this drastic measure, he said.

D. 1 Strasburg, Pa, 687-6546 viewed the status' of other bills with special emphasis on the rash of "humane so ciety” bills and their poten tial dangers to agriculture. He spoke particularly .of Senate Bill 428, known as .the “Anti-Cruelty to Annuals Law.” This bill is being pushed by the Humane So ciety of the UjS.A. with head quarters in Washington D.C. The Pennsylvania Humane So ciety is not supporting it. It would define an animal as every living creature except a human being. Under S.B. 428 it would be unlawful for a fanner to kill rats or mice; if he used .pesticides on his crops he would be subject to fine for “exposing a poison ous substance;” when trans porting animals, he would have to “provide .protection from the elements and wind velocity, adequate ventilation, and sufficient space .for free dom of natural position;” he would have to separate the animals by “species and sex” the pigs could -not ride with the cows except in sep arate apartments; no animal could be taken to market at less than six weeks of age, unless accompanied; by its mother; etc! Ridiculous as these things may sound to farmers, the bill had 24 Senators’ names as sponsors it only takes 26 votes to pass the Senate 1 PFA, through the efforts of its administrative secretary, was instrumental in killing this bill, Hatfield reported.
