need major breakthroughs in
production technology.
“I hope we do not delay until
the situation is highly critical.”
Rep. H. Francis Kennedy (R-
Butler), chairman of the
Agriculture and Dairy Com
mittee of the State House of
Representatives, echoed Dr.
Larsons’s concern with the world
food supply.
“National security could be
threatened by failure to supply
enough food for domestic and
world demands,” Kennedy
warned the Grangers.
He also said, “One of the single
most significant problems in this
country today is the proper use of
land, and particularly saving
farm land from speculators or
those who wish to build more
commercial enterprises.”
Tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about
every cow in your entire herd at a glance!

Grange Meets
DAIRYMAN:
Lancaster Farming. Saturday, November 3, 1973
in Reading
“The buying public wants to be
assured that supplies are great
enough to cover their needs,”
Kennedy declared. “Others
worry whether we will have a
surplus large enough to care for
those in need.”
“Our concern is whether we
can continue to meet the intense
demands at home and abroad.
Should we falter and become
increasingly dependent upon
foreign agriculture, we decrease
our national security and
abandon our self-reliance.”
A. Wayne Readinger of
Fleetwood, State Grange master,
declared that “tax relief for
many farmers is a must if
agriculture is to continue.”
In his report to the convention,
Readinger reviewed ac
complishments of the past year,
and also focused attention on the
pressure to increase food
production. “At no time in the
history of this nation has so much
attention been paid to the im
portance of agriculture and
food,” he declared. Domestic
demand is “extremely strong”,
he added, “At the same time,
there is an upsurge in worldwide
demand for food as more people
become more affluent.”
John W. Scott, national Grange
master, expressed the opinion
that a serious shortage of milk
could develop in the United States
in the near future. Consumers, he
said, will have to face the
possibility of paying more for
milk, “as they do now for meat.”
State Senator Michael A.
O’Pake presented State Grange
Master Readinger with a citation
honoring the Pennsylvania State
Grange in its 100th anniversary
year. The citation was adopted
unanimously by the State Senate.
The Pennsylvania State Grange
was cited for the greatest in
crease in membership -1906 new
members in the past year - in the
20-state area served by the
National Grange Mutual In
surance Company. 0. Walker
Shannon, regional agency
manager, presented awards to
106 subordinate, or local,
Granges for successful par
ticipation in the membership
development program. Virgin
ville Grange 1832, of Berks
County, was tops m the state with
an increase of 130 members.
Melody Sharp, Canonsburg
RDI, won the best of show honors
and first place in the in
strumental competition in the
convention’s talent contest. She
played a French horn and will
represent Pennsylvania in the
competition at the national

RD2, and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert
Hausman, Orefield RD2.

Leesport RDI, who gave a
reading, and a quartet from
Washington County. It was
composed of Candy Crist,

Two Berks County family
groups also won top honors in the

Doris, Susie and Artie Kissling
and Ruth, Sally, Usa, Shere and
