bill last year, and will
probably vote against a
similar bill introduced this
year. Walker added, though,
that he expects this year's
bill to get a much more
sympathetic hearing by the
Congress.
Donald Hershcy, president
of the Lancaster County
Farmers Association, a PFA
affiliate, told Walker that the
organization favored an
economic formula for milk
pricing to replace the
present system. Federal
order prices for milk are
currently determined by the
Minnesota-Wisconsin series
which depends on the price
of butter.
Hershey explained that in
order to raise milk prices
now, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture must first hold
public hearings, and even if
an increase is allowed, it is
always several months
before the increase can be
made effective. PFA’s
proposed economic formula
would take into account four
main factors: the ability and
willingness of the consumer
to buy; the cost of producing
milk; alternative op
portunities for the farmer to

invest his capital and labor;
prices of butter, non*fat dry
milk and cheese. Under the
proposal, prices would be
adjusted up or down on a
quarterly basis, rather than
annually as they arc now.
Yost also told Walker that
the group would like the
Congressman’s support in
backing a recommendation
made Monday by Secretary
of the Treasury William
Simon. Simon recommended
to President Ford that the
U.S. impose countervailing
duties on cheese imported
into this country from
European Economic
Community countries. Yost
pointed out that some EEC
countries subsidize the
production of cheese, which
means it can be sold here at
a price which tends to hold
down the price of American
made cheese and milk. A
countervailing duty would
add a tariff equal to the
amount of the EEC subsidy,

Yost suggested that the
Congressman write to
President Ford urging him
td approve the imposition of
countervailing duties, and
Walker replied that he
thought Eshelman would
support the dairy farmers.
Other delegations of
Pennsylvania farmers
visited throughout the day
with the Congressmen from
their districts as well as
Senators Scott and Sch
weiker. Both Senators and
most of the House members
from the Keystone state
were at PFA’s legislative
banquet on Wednesday
evening.
Senator Scott said the
Senate was considering a bill
to increase the rail subsidy
plan from its present two
years to eight years. He said
this plan would help fanners
because it would guarantee
rail transportation for their
