Home Center. "A farmer can
have half a million dollars
invested in his land and
equipment, and he can work
12- to 14-hour days and still
make less than 10 percent on
his investment. We have
problems when things are
like this, and I think the

American people and the
government will have to
realize that farmers must be
fairly compensated for their
work and their investment."
Hcrshey told the audience
of 350 that even though
Americans are paying 17. S
percent of their incomes for
food - up from IS.S percent a
year ago • they’re still
paying proportionately less
for food than citizens of
many other countries. "The
Japanese pay SO percent of
their incomes for food, and
some areas go as high as 60
to 70 percent," he said.

Horshcy, president of the
Lancaster County Fanners
Association, also spoke
about the increased
production over the years
from county (arms, but
lamented the fact that there
are fewer and fewer farms
each year. "I used to spear
tobacco and combine wheat
where Park City stands
today," he said. "Thirty
years ago, we had 500,000
acres of tillable soil in this
county. Now we're down to
320,000 acres. If it doesn’t
stop we eventually won't
have any farms left."
R. Wesley Shope, outgoing
president of the Chamber,
preceded Hershey on the
speaker’s platform. He told
the audience that he and
other Chamber members are
concerned about the
disappearance of farmland
in Lancaster County. He
added that the chamber has
created a land use com*
mittee to counsel other
Chamber officials.
In remarks at the close of
the meeting, County
Agricultural Agent Max
Smith told the audience he
was pleased to hear of the
Chamber’s concern over
open space, and noted his
particular pleasure at the
genesis of the land use
committee.
Featured speaker for the
evening was William Porter,
who will manage the new W.
K. Kellogg cereal plant in
Lancaster. Porter told the
audience the plant would be
well underway in no more
than a year. He explained
that a temporary halt had
been called to die project
because of soaring interest
rates and building costs.
Porter also said after the
meeting that even though the
plant will use cereal grains
in the manufacturing
process, Kellogg will not
likely be a good market for
local grains. Most of the
products that will be
produced in the plant will be
partially processed at a
Midwest mill before being
shipped East.

From Jim Rltchla, San Fran
daeo, California: I remember
wfcen Harry Truman became
Prealdent. Not many people
thought he could handle the job
But he sure proved to be up to
the taik and in a hurry. He
didn't fool around even though
FDR had left him in the dark on
a lot of Important issues. Old
Harry soon made important ap
pointments in the cabinet and in
embassies throughout the world
He made some key Judicial «p.
pointments, too. He had a lot of
problems to deal with.
For instance the war was just
over with and he had demobil
ization to contend with. “Send the
boys home,” was heard through
out the land. The army’s pl» n s
were too slow to suit the voters
And as a result of a lot of pres
sures our ground forces were
quickly dismantled. We looked
weak to the communists but our
economy held fast. Veterans re
ceived top priority for jobs and
especially in schools And then
Dewey came along and everybody
thought Truman would get best
except Harry himself. He
“Poured it on,” though, md
“Gave it to 'em,” and was elected
in a big surprise
