mittee and editor of Penn
sylvania Farmer Magazine,
told Lancaster Farming on
Thursday, “We haven’t
given up, not by a long shot.
There’s a Keystone Expo bill
in the House, and we’re
going to work on that next.’’
Reber said that getting the
center approved might
involve some compromises,
but that his committee
hadn’t yet met to discuss just
what these might be. One
possibility is that the new
center could be constructed
in stages, rather than all at
once. This way, initial
construction costs might be
nearly halved.
Besides the cost', Reber
felt the Senators might have
been hesitant about ap
proving a construction
project of this magnitude
without knowing exactly
where the complex would be
located. The Ekpo’s backers
have said it would be located
in the vicinity of Harrisburg,
but no definite site has yet
been chosen. “We wanted to
try for the financing before
we worked on site selection,”
Reber said, “because that’s
going to be a tricky
problem.”
Asked if he thought
whether or not a site might
have to be selected before
the financing could be ap
proved, Reber replied that,
he’d rather see a provision in
the measure which would
allow the legislature io veto
any site it didn’t like.
Secretary of Agrilture
James McHale contacted at
his office on Thursday said,

National Farm Institute to Discuss
How futures trading in
fluences farm commodity
marketing and consumer
food pricing will be
discussed in depth at the 1974
National Farm Institute
March 25, according to Don
'Muhin, Institute Chairman.
Muhm said the com
mittee’s working title for the
one-day Institute is
get this bill passed this year.
I don't know what to say
about the Senate’s vote. We
had people who said they
were in favor of the center,
and they backed out. We
want to find out what went
wrong and try to get things
straightened out. If we can’t
move this year, we’ll still be
trying next year.”
Auditor General Casey
declined to discuss the
matter with this newspaper,
but one of his public relations
people did comment on
Casey’s message to the
Senate. She conceded that
Casey’s statement had
overlooked the revenues
which would be generated by
a new center and she did say
that they might be more than
are presently being earned
in the old Farm Show
complex.
The Expo Committee’s
projection for the first year
operation of the new center
shows a first year cash flow
of $32 million, a $l3 million
gain over the old complex,
plus $900,000 annually in
sales taxes and $232,000 in
state income taxes.

Canned Foods
Sale to Eat
The discoloration on the
liner of a metal can con
taining food is harmless.
According to Extension
consumer specialists at The
Pennsylvania State
University, this
discoloration is sometimes
caused by certain foods •
giving off sulfur during
processing. An etched effect
sometimes appears on the
inside of cans, especially
those which contain fruit
juices. This is not harmful
either, point out the Ex
tension specialists. It is
caused by the acid in the
juice. Cans used for food are
safe. The Food and Drug
Administration prohibits the
use of any food containers
which would transfer a
poisonous or harmful sub
stance to the food.
