To see the birth of a day is to see
the glorious unfolding of life and
beauty and light.
If you’re a farmer you know what I
mean, for what man of the soil hasn’t
marveled at the clouds and sun that
greet him early in the morning. A
spectacular sunrise is awe inspiring.
And who hasn’t paused to listen
and appreciate the songs of robins
and calls of owls, and crows and
geese? Every farmer has witnessed
these signs which proclaim a new
Spring day has been born.
And the darkness of early morning,
and the cool serenity you’re en
/eioped in, aren't they refreshing
too? The air is crisp and clean. There
is a certain calmness about the
countryside that’s unparalled during
any other time of day.
Sometimes the pale light of a full
moon still bathes the farm when the
day begins. Once again, the resulting
picture is unique and breathtaking,
no matter how many times you’ve
seen it before.
Yes, to see all of these scenes

unfold, is to witness the birth of a
day. It can make you glad you’re a
farmer.
But what has given me even more
joy than any of the above experiences
is a moment in the house before I
step outside. 1 tiptoe from the
bedroom to the bathroom, and then ■
to the kitchen to prepare a snack. I
try to be quiet, but more often than
not, something gives me away. It
might be the tingling of a spoon in a
bowl, or perhaps I was just blowing
my nose.
From behind a closed bedroom
door comes the call: “Hi Daddy.”
If I don’t answer, the calls keep
coming: “Hi Daddy.”
Talk about feeling good - the love of
my children is the ultimate in
pleasant experiences. And so I walk
quietly into the child’s room and
absorb all the love that’s offered.
That’s the best way to start the
day. After that, the songs of robins
and the spectacular sky are just
reflections of the joy I feel.

Milk price support
legislation introduced
BATTLEBORO, Vt. -
Legislation requiring the
Secretary of Agriculture to
set the milk price support at
not less than 80 percent of
parity through October, 1981,
has been introduced mto the
96th U.S. Congress.
“The Holstein Association
favors this new legislation,”
said Robert H. Rumler,
executive chairman of tire
Association. “The board of
directors established a
position of support on this
and urges that this action be
taken by Congress at the
earliest possible date,” he
said. .
The minimum support
price for milk has been
raised by Congress three
times since 1949, the last
occurring in 1977 which set
the minimum at 80 percent
of parity. This action expires
in October, 1979.
One of the bills is in the
U.S. House of Represen
tatives, H.R. 80 (Obey,
Jeffords, Baldus); a com
parison bill in the U.S.
Senate is 5.6 (Leahy). Both

bills are intended to keep
parity at 80 percent.
“In reality, this is an
extension of the present
amendment to the
Agricultural Act of 1949,”
Rumler said.
The Agricultural Act sets
the support range from a
minimum of 75 percent of
parity to a maximum of 90
percent of parity. Parity is
defined as the balance
between the prices received
bv the farmer for .his
products and the prices he
has to pay for labor and for
equipment and necessities
based on 1910-1914 averages.
Programs of this sort set
minimum prices to be paid
to farmers, Rumler said,
and'let the market operate
above that level while at
tempting to provide the
same minimum prices to all
farmers and processors in
similar groups and cir
cumstances.
