Wanger Not Responsible for Accidents. Top Farm Spokesman Addresses PAFC Meet graphic manner. One of Litton’s most talked about coups came at the time of the nationwide consumer meat boycotts. The Congressman trucked a pair of Angus steers onto a lawn outside the Capitol building. One of the steers weighed 700 pounds, the other tipped the scale at 1200 pounds. In front of the animals, he had a sign explaining that 20 years ago, a worker had to work A certain number of hours to buy the 700 pound steer. Today, that same number of hours by the same average worker would buy the 1200 pound animal. “And these people say food’s expensive,” Litton said to his audience. “And I ask them, ‘Expensive compared to what?.” Litton’s speech was liberally sprinkled with humor and personal anec- Congressman Jerry Litton, a Missouri Democrat, talked to the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Association of Farmer Cooperatives held Thursday at Lancaster’s Quality Court Motel. dotes, and warmly received. He had flown to Lancaster from Kansas City, and flew right back afterwards to hit the campaign trail for reelection. An annual highlight of the PAFC convention is the awarding of a PAFC Distinguished Service Award. The prize this year was presented to Dr. Nor man Rebel:, editor of Penn sylvania Farmer Magazine. In presenting the award, Dale Detweiler, PAFC president, praised Reber for having the courage of his convictions, for his role in the development of a proposal for a new agricultural exposition complex for the state, and for his devotion over the years to the family farm and the way of life it represents. Another featured speaker was Dr. James Beattie, dean of the Penn State College of Agriculture. Beattie told the group that in spite of periodic setbacks, he was very optimistic about the future of farming and agribusiness in the Keystone State. One key factor in his optimism, he explained,'is that college of agriculture enrollment has more than doubled in the last four years, 'while many' other disciplines have been ex periencing a drop in student interest. The theme for this year’s PAFC meeting was “Part ners in Progress.” Attending were co-op leaders from throughout the state.
