Newport, Penn, wil end his term
as 1973 PennAg President.
“1973 could be termed the year
of good news and bad news,” Eby
stated. “Agriculture was called
the ‘Great Green Hope’ because
of its contribution to a favorable
balance of trade and fanners
thought their future seemed
bright. In Pennsylvania the
electorate recognized the im

“Offsetting the good news were
problems and crises such as the
highest feed prices ever known,
gyrating ingredient markets that
made product pricing the
equivalent of playing Russian
Roulette, shortages of some
ingredients which required
frequent substitution in for
mulations, increased rail tran
sportation difficulties which were
magnified by unprecendented
export grain sales and a Penn
sylvania State Sales Tax issue
which threatened the poultry
industry, to name a few,” Eby
continued.

HARRISBURG MEMO ...
To: The People of Pennsylvania
From: Milton J. Shapp,
Governor
Mr. W. H., Brookhaven, writes
that he is upset regarding threats
by some truckers to blockade
state roads if they can not choose
their own driving speeds and fuel
prices.
Governor Shapp: “When
President Nixon first announced
separate speed limits for trucks
and cars, I vocally opposed it and
did something about it. That’s
why Pennsylvania now has the
same speed for all vehicles 55
mph. I am the only governor in
the nation to sit down with the
issue of the energy shortage.”
In reply, Clark expressed his
confidence that Pennsylvania has
a potential to become a greater
food basket filler for the
remainder of the 1970’5.
“All of our western, central and
northern counties are ripe for
expansion,” Clark said. “We
have ready access to the largest
megalopolis in North America as
a market plus ports that serve
the world.”
Clark is Secretary-Treasurer of
Clark’s Feed Mills, Inc. which
operated a dairy feed mill in
Turbotville, Penn, and a poultry
feed mill in Shamokin.
Other PennAg officers are;
Phillip M. Spalding, York Flour
Mills, Inc., York - First Vice
President; Melvin M. Wenger,
Wenger’s Feed Mill, Inc.,
Rbeems - Second Vice President;
W. H. Andrews, Jr., H. 0. An
drews & Sons, Inc., Mapleton
Depot - Third Vice President;
and Robert B. Graybill, Penn
field Corporation, Lancaster -
Treasurer.

truckers in my office and at the
Lamar Truck Stop to hear their
side of the problem.
“From what the truckers have
told me there has been some
price gouging and other irregular
practices on the part of some
dealers. All the demands the
truckers are asking for must be
met on the federal level. I’ve
continued, however, to keep
communications open with the
truckers in Pennsylvania and
they have responded by not
throwing up any blockades. I’ve
told the truckers that I will not
tolerate blockades on our high
ways and that we will take action
if they occur.”
Mr. R. 8., Lancaster, writes
that he thinks because of the
energy crisis our current motor
vehicle codes should be changed
to allow exhaust headers and
dual exhausts to save fuel.
Governor Shapp: “There is
considerable disagreement
among the so-called experts that
removing pollution devices or
adding others now banned on
newer autos can actually save
fuel. Our Department of Tran
sportation is presently studying
the various applications of auto
pollution controls because of the
energy crunch.”
