The best politics is good govern ment,” said Hallowell, “but no politics is no govern ment”. Hallowell pointed out that while the two-party system is essential for electing government of ficials, “partisanship should Oats loans extended WASHINGTON, D.C. - Commodity Credit Cor poration (CCC) loans on 1978-crop oats may be ex tended for six months at the option of the producer, John W. Goodwin, acting ad ministrator of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), said last week. Producers who wish to extend their loans should contact the ASCS office There they obtained them. Goodwin said the ex tension would help alleviate transportation and storage problems that many producers are now facing by allowing them to market disappear as soon as we are elected”. The second goal listed by the Agriculture Secretary was “economic develop ment”. He warned the Grangers that family farms in Pennsylvania need “help”. Two forms of help Hallowell mentioned were Acts 515 and 319, the agricultural preferential assessment laws. Other laws Hallowell saw as helpful to the family farm were the Ag Districts Bill, with its “right-to-farm clause, and the bill seeking to limit PennDOT’s use of eminent domain. “Despite the fact that so many farmers are being taken for uses other than agriculture,” Hallowell noted, “it’s interesting that their oats over a longer period.

There are also 38 million bushels of oats in the farmer owned reserve. Loans on oats in the reserve were called June 26 when the market price reached $1.44 per bushel, 140 per cent of the loan rate, the price level at which the Department is required to call the com modity- list goals the dairy -industry is forecasted to produce $1 billion in dairy commodities in Pennsylvania this year.” The third goal mentioned was “marketing”. Hallowell believes a good marketing potential exists for Penn sylvania agriculture. Here in Pennsylvania “ we produce 102 per cent of what we consume”, Hallowell said, “we have a surplus in all commodities.” In closing Hallowell said, “The opportunities we have today are terrific.” The Grange should “be proud oi (its) agriculture connectior and its future.” THERE ARE TWO WOOD STOWES IN THIS PICTURE Tha ana yau ih i« an apan X >/ ttava wlin all tha haauty al 3 Jkjfc. tha apan flraptaca Tha ana yau Pan t aaa it an air tifht ttava that haata up ta • 000 cu ft for lOhaurtwhanyag data catt Iran Paart Tha Upland it tatlanad ta ha uiatf aithar fraa tlandlna ar vant •a inta an ailttinp liraplaca Cf fhar way vau pat twa ttavtt in ana SAVE UP TO 75% ON HEATING BILLS WOO® Hi AT tt«l, fhrnii TaGay, Oa*irti—.
