ed a regional Report and Re
view Meeting held at. Kutztown
Grange Hall to discuss and of
fer suggestions on the improve
ment of national farm programs.
Fred G. Seldomridge, chairman,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation County Committee,
said today.
The meeting was chaired by
Edison Osborne, member. Pa.
State ASC Committee, and pre
sentations were made by mem
bers of the State ASC Commit
tee and State office staff. A com
plete review was made of exist
ing farm programs, their ac

pending farm legislation, and
ideas solicited for improvements
in programs to better meet the
needs of Pennsylvania agricul
ture.
Osborne opened the conference
with a brief renew of the agri
cultural situation and a look into
the future. Detailed discussions
followed on the President’s 1968
Farm Message to Congress,
Food for Freedom. National
Food Bank, Farmer Collective
Bargaining. Food and Agricul
ture Act of 1965, and status of
major commodity programs and
commercial markets.
“We are following a policy of
seeking the guidance, counsel,
and assistance of farm organi
zations and farm leaders, par
ticularly our ASC committee
men who represent the inter
ests of their neighboring farm
eis ” Osborne said. “Agriculture
has entered a new era Surplus
es that buried the farm economy
some seven years ago have been
eliminated We have legislative
tools that enable us to adjust to
the laws of supply and demand
rather than to be at their mercy.
“In 1967. for the first time in
many, many years, the supply
and demand situation of wheat
and feed grains weie in reason
able balance It is a new ball
game And we must be prepared
to take advantage of the new
opportunities
Osborne pointed out that farm
income was up significantly in
1966 “In the past six years, the
average farmer’s net income
climbed from 55 percent to 66
percent of the urban resident’s
pay for comparable work
In concluding his comments
Mr Osborne said, “Agriculture’s
pi ogress in recent years has
sharply lowered food costs rela
tive to income This both reduc
es inflationary tendencies and
piovides a larger market for in
dustry U S consumers last year
paid out only 17 7 percent of
their disposable income for food
—and most of this went for mar
keting and other services The
farmer received only about 5
percent of consumers’ dispos
able income.
“In 1960 consumers spent 20
percent of their disposable in
come for food —in 1950, 22 2 per-
1929, 23 4 percent If
U S consumers in 1967 paid for
food the same proportion of in
come as in 1960, they would have
had $ll billion less to spend on
other things ”

There haa been a significant
Increase in the harvests of.phea>
sanU and squirrels; 'there has
not been a significant decrease
in rabbit harvests as some
might be led to believe; and
there is statistical evidence of
no change in the harvests of
grouse, turkeys, quail and Wood
cock, Roberts says.
Here are official 1967 game
harvests: deer, 144,415; bears,
568; rabbits, 2870,000; snow
shoe rabbits, 6,000; squirrels, 2,-
680,000; raccoons, 137,000; wild
turkeys, 23,000! ruffed grouse,
470.000; ringneck pheasants, 1,-
015,000; quail, 23.000; woodcock,
75,000; rails, gallinules and
coots, 12,000; wild waterfewl,
81,500; woodchucks, 345,000;
doves, 259,000.
The big game figures are bas
ed on individual reports filed
by hunters; the figures on rac
coons, rails, gallinules, coots,
waterfowl, woodchucks and
doves are based on estimates by
field officers of the Game Com
mission; and the figures on rab
bits, squirrels, turkeys, grouse,
pheasants, woodcock, quail and
snowshoe rabbits are calculated
minimum harvests.

cotton denim for sails on Ms
