if—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 7,1979 Md, Farm Bureau women attend workshop NEW WINDSOR, Md. - Maryland Farm Bureau women turned out 150 strong for the annual workshop, held here on March 28 at the World Service Center. Opening speaker for the training session was Y.D. Hance, the state’s former and first secretary of agriculture, now retired from that office. Hance a finger of blame at radicals, bureaucrats and the news media who operate with an abundance of emotionalism and a shortage of both facts and “common sense.” He also bad harsh words for “too many people with too much leisure time trying to change the way we’ve fed this nation cheaper than anywhere else.” “If all these food additives are slowly killing us, how come we’ve bad an increase in the average life span of eight years?’’ questioned the grain and tobacco former. Blaming, for example, the ban on DDT for the scourge of gypsy moth moving south into Maryland forests, Hance noted that representatives of regulatory agencies had refused to allow use of a new effective chemical on the destructive pest Gypsy moths severely infest hardwood forests, stripping the trees of all MILLER DIESEL.

After a few years of the infestation, the trees die. Thousands of acres of valuable woodlands in the Northeast have been devastated by the voracious larvae, formerly controlled with the now outlawed DDT pesticide. An impartial Academy of Science, or even Congress, suggests Hance, should determine a way to fairly report scientific details. Another recent chemical decision that Hance questioned was the barring of the herbicide 245, T from pastureland application, while allowing its use to continue on rangeland. “Now what is the dif ference?’’ asked an in creduous Hance. “The only difference is in the kind of grass grawing time.” The morning program also included a presentation from Mrs. Leßoy Bupp, Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania, on form women’s involvement She encouraged the women attending to become spokesmen for agriculture and to educate themselves to the background of problems of farming to be better public relations representatives.
