NFO members, protesting against the government mandated Class 2 milk price, are reportedly set to slaughter 50,000 cows with calf over the next few weeks in order to reduce the amount of surplus milk going to market The move is termed a "symbolic” gesture, even by NFO members, and the slaughter of only pregnant cows is supposedly meant to heighten the symbolism. A. F. Moyer Co, a Souderton, Pa. slaughter house, killed 125 NFO cows this week. Orvai Bass Replacement Announced Warren Archibald, presently working in Kittanning, Pa., will become Lancaster County’s new district conservationist as of May 20, it was announced Wednesday night at the Lancaster County Con servation District monthly meeting.

Smalt Rail Groups Seen Needed In a message this week to businesses and com munities along railroad branch lines, Donald W. Parke, executive vice-president of PennAg Industries Association, urged them to form shipper's organizations to help preserve their rail service "We suggest this for all Pennsylvania businesses and communities, even though their branch lines have not been threatened with loss of service under the Secretary of Transportation’s first proposal for restructuring Northeast railroads”, he said. "The only way to respond to proposed changes is to have data collected and ready to use A shipper’s organization can collect such data and be the spokesman for the branch line. We are not suggesting high-powered, monied groups, but an informal organization to get information together now, to be ready when needed. We have no idea what the next version will be like, but chances are it will be different. We do know the reaction time to that proposal will be 60 days." The state-wide organization’s Executive said that sweeping changes are planned to revamp the rail system One version has already been published. PennAg believes that unless the U.S. Railway Association completely changes the first version, it will cause economic havoc to rural communities m the Northeast and Midwest "PennAg is not interested in preserving rail service where none is needed", Parke concluded, “but neither does it want to see service denied because of inaction, complacency or defeatism. Date and in formation is the most effective response." 2iiir staged automatic dryers from FARM FANS AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY WE SELL, SERVICE and INSTALL FAIM FUNS jfif INDIANAPOLIS, INO R D 1, Willow Street * • Choose from two great port able dryers • Surprisingly low cost 100 V « automatic • Easy 10 °P erate J || • Better quality gram higher promts : • Man-free operation • Dependable economical op eration • Designed and built by Farm Fans—22 years of experience in drying grain Let us give you full details about AB dryers, "a including * price >er hr bu per hr E.
