conscience tor the state to a
commitment to agriculural
development in the tuture. It can
also serve as a needed precedent to
establish the validity of the

Huntingdon Co. Extension agent. It
can also provide counties and
municipalities with the rudiments
ot a structure to emphasize
agricultural development within
their jurisdiction by establishing
