list of conversation items bet

the Lancaster County Fanners

interested m freezing farm food
prices, but might consider a
retail food price freeze.

he would like to see the Penn

Even if President Nixon vetoes
a new Rural Enivornmental
Assistance Program (REAP),
Eshleman said a new bill in
congress will contain many of the
same programs for farmers.
Senator Richard Schweiker
told the farmers that he wouldn’t
leave the Penn Central Railroad
go out of business.
A representative of the En
vironmental Protection Agency
told the farmers that large
operators with over 700 cows,
more than 1,000 steers or over
100,000 chickens, can expect to be
required to secure a permit just
to dispose of the manure on their
farms in the future.
Hershey called the direct
contact between farmers and
lawmakers, “the best thing we’ve
got as far as working with our
legislators.
“Farmers for many years
didn’t say anything till the tree
was cut down,” Hershey ex
plained. “Now 90 percent of the
fellows in Washington are willing
to work with us,” he said.
The visit was sponsored by the
Pennsylvania Farmers Assn.

Two Machine-Horvestobie
Tomato Varieties Released
Two new machine-harvestable
processing tomato varieties,
ARC and CHEF, have been
released by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA).
The new varieties are the result
of 10 or more years of research by
USDA’s Agricultural Research
Service (ARS) to develop crops
superior to those now grown in
characteristics important to
consumers, farmers and
processors. Biological control of
crop diseases and pests, by in
corporating genetic resistance
into new varieties, is emphasized
m this continuing cooperative
effort by ARS and cooperating
State agricultural experiment
stations.
ARC is a late maturing,
productive, medium-sized vine,
crack-resistant variety that is
resistant to gray leaf spot,
Fusarium and Verticilhum wilts,
harvestable by machine and has
good processing quality
ARC has performed well in
trials in central Pennsylvania,
southern New Jersey and Belt
sville, Md. It machine-harvested
satisfactorily in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Beltsvdle in 1971
and 1972.
CHEF is an early maturing,
productive, small-vined, jointless

pedicel, crack-resistant variety
that is resistant to gray leaf spot,
Fusarium and VerticiUium wilts,
harvestable by machine and has
good processing quality.
CHEF has performed well in
trials in central Pennsylvania,
southern New Jersey, central
California and Beltsville, Md. It
also machine-harvested
satisfactorily in Pennsylvania
and Beltsville in 1971 and 1972.
USDA has no seed for
distribution.
