This would mean an overall reduction of 2.17 dozen billion elimination of producing, processing, and distributing 2.7 billion dozens of eggs would cost America an estimated 24,000 jobs. Other calculations made in the industry statement pointed out that 1.8 billion dollars in retail egg sales would be lost, producing by turnover effect, an overall economic loss of $lO.B billion dollars. Pullet sales would drop by more than $238 million per year, and ap proximately $9O million dollars in egg carton sales would be lost. At $9 per layer invested in fixed capital, over $1 billion in assets would be idled on farms across the United States. Said Jack Dubose president of the Southeastern Poultry and Egg Association, who presented the industry statement, “Indeed, the recommendations have the potential of putting many small, family farmers out of business at the very time Congress is exploring ways of helping the family far mers of America cope with the uncertainties of agriculture.” Despite the testimony presented at the hearing, Hendrick Wentink, chair man of NCEN, stated in a letter to NCEN com- missioners, that while the “He conceded that neither testimony was excellent, he nor the Senator un “When it was all over, it was, derstand the scope of the. however, evident that the poultry industry in Penn- Committee staff did not ( sylvania, and he asked that appear to show any in- we furnish him with specific clination to modify or qualify facts regarding this,” he the ‘Dietary Goals’ said, recommendations.” He also pointed out that there are two bills in the house and one in the Senate dealing with nutrition, and education, some of which “are aimed at pre-school and grade school levels, baaed on the ‘Dietary Goals’ recommendations as they # Morton buildings !N COLOR * ■ 24' x 27' Garage With 17 6 x 7 6 OVERHEAD DOOR WALK - THRU DOOR WITH GLASS TWO WINDOWS Priced based on cash terms with customer furnishing unloading help Erection at our convenience on level ground within 40 miles of a Morton Buildings sales office Beyond 40 miles add crew travel expense Length may be increased in units of 9'at MSS 00 Addsalestax Offer expires Aug 15,1977 Morton building RO 4 Box 34A, Gettysburg, PA 17325 Ph; 717-334-2168 Box 126, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865 Ph: 201-454-7900 RO 6, Meadville, PA 16335 Ph: 814-336-5085 will be published in final form.” Mobilized by the general feeling over the outcome of the July 26 hearing, and fearing the results if legislation becomes tied to the issue as it stands right now, the Lancaster County Poultry Association mem bers chose to personally present their position and that of the more than 77 million dollar poultry in dustry in Lancaster County, to Paul Cooksey. The In a two-hour session with the legislative aide to Senator Schweiker, Ed Moshier, Lititz; Ronald Meek, Denver; Martin Pflieger, Manheim; Vemon Leininger, Dener; and Jack Huber, Lititz, urged the withdrawal of “Dietary Goals” from circulation or, if that is not possible, they urged several revisions. Following their meeting with Cooksey, several members of the delegation discussed their reactions with Lancaster Farming. Ed Moshier, president of the Lancaster County Poultry Association, stated that “the meeting was very open, frank, and cordial.
