pleased that Weiser and
Wilson had accepted the
appontments. “Men like
Everett Weiser and William
Wilson will be important to
the board’s efforts to im
prove promotion of red
cherry products,” he said.
“An improved
agricultural economy must
rely on contributions from
all segments of the state’s
farm community. The red
cherry growers of the state
have repeatedly demon
stated their willingness to
improve and expand, and the
Department of Agriculture
stands ready to assist them
m their efforts,” he said.

of red tart cherries. In 1979,
production amounted to 3,150
tons of chemes valued at
$3.12 million.
The Red Cherry
Marketmg Program was
first approved by the
growers of Pennsylvania m
1974, and renewed in a 1979
referendum with an 87
percent vote of approval
from growers voting.
