B—Lancaster Farming. Saturday* April 27.1968 Less Costly Ways To Conserve Water Proposed By Grange Leu costly and more feasible ways for conserving water in the Potomac River Basin were pro posed today by the Grange in four states, including Pennsyl vania. and the National Grange in opposition to a series of big impounding dams as proposed by the U.S, Army Corps of En gineers, John W. Scott, master of the Pennsylvania State Grange, said the Grange is vitally concerned in the Potomac River Basin pro posals because of possible heavy sacrifice of valuable farm lands and out of regard for the “hun dreds of people who would be dispossessed of homes and means of livelihood and forced to relocate at great personal loss." In Pennsylvania, he explained, the Potomac proposals would affect principally Franklin and Fulton counties. Other states in volved are Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Enough wa ter. he contended, could be tak en from the river estuary to sat isfy the needs of the whole Wash ington metropolitan area, prin cipal beneficiary of the basin plan. Pollution control, Scott point ed out, is of prime importance and could be achieved through federal aid to up-stream com munities for the development of adequate local sanitation sys tems He added; "If Germany can clean up the Rhine, then we can and should clean up our streams, the Potomac included ” • Water out of a polluted stream, whether for municipal, industrial or recreational use,’,’ he continued, “is not a desirable objective, especially with a high price tag attached, “Moreover, large dams should he built only after completion of a network of smaller dams on headwater streams Otherwise silting would destroy the im- NEW John Deere 34 reader Any way you look at it, the John Deere 34 Spreader takes work out of loading, hauling and spreading ma nure.

Homesite developments would be minimal along big dams since during pe riods of draw-down they tend to become mud flats useful only as breeding places for mosquitoes. “High cost of large dams and loss of taxable property would result in a double loss in tax rev enue that could be offset by keeping most of the headwater storage area in private or semi private ownership with public access to the lakes and ponds.” • Packers (Continued from Page 1) most of the persons engaged in these transactions Campbell listed the five basic programs as follows: Fair, competitive marketing; Honest weights; Financial protection; Reasonable services and facili ties at public livestock markets at reasonable rates, and Reparations. “In the last fiscal year,” the adminstrator said, “we receiv ed 6,200 complaints.
