Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 31,1983 WASHINGTON D.C. - Sen. Jesse Helms, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, outlined the agenda of agricultural legislation for the second session of the 98th Congress. “The committee will, of course, continue to monitor the farm economy and will be attentive to problems which might arise in 1984. Beyond that, I hope the committee will lay the groundwork for considering the future direction of farm policy,” Helms said. “While the committee plans no specific legislative activity in regard to the 1975 Farm Bill, in formal activities preparatory to action in 1985 will be of interest to the committee. And, without question, the committee will have a special interest in efforts to provide for a more fiscally responsible operation of all government p r ograms-including farm programs-due largely to the problems imposed on farmers by the economic dislocations of massive federal deficits,” Helms said. Other matters on the committee agenda include; Expiring Authorities In 1984, authorization for several child nutrition programs, in cluding the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, In fants, and Children (WIC) will expire. In order for these programs to continue the- com mittee must specifically reauthorize them. Some modification is likely to be con sidered in that process. Also, the committee is expected to reauthorize the Federal In secticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as well as several other expiring authorities which provide for user fees in such USDA programs as EXPERT REPAIRS. ® Taral ifLhVMr FENCERS .generators f V * STARTERS \ .ALTERNATORS PEQUEA a BATTERIES IM winter Discounts plus up to $BOO Factory Rebates Now on Stormor" EZEE-DRY* This Is the fast efficient de pendable way to dry grain Drying capacities from too to 1000 bu 'hr at 10 pt removal And the EZEE DRy is virtually maintenance free The biggest savings all year call or stop in today LOUCKS GRAIN EQUIPMENT.

Wilderness Bills Another of the priorities for consideration early in the session will be several bills currently pending before the committee making wilderness designations in North Carolina, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Several other bills involving proposed designations in other States are expected to come before the committee as well. The Chairman hopes to begin hearings soon after Congress reconvenes Jan. 23 and move to an early mark-up. “The wilderness bills have a high priority,” said Helms. “We hope to move these bills through Congress and restore long-term stability to the management of our forest resources for multiple use purposes.” “Unfair trade practices by other countries continue to rob U.S. farmers of export markets,” Helms said. A number of proposals to counter this problem were in troduced last year, and the com mittee reported S. 822. Helms said consideration of that bill or a modified version, S. 2005, the Agricultural Export Trade Equity Act of 1983, is possible early in the session. “Our farmers continue to suffer from the export subsidies of the European Community,” said Helms. “Other EC proposals concerning its Common Agricultural Policy appear to be blunted right now, but if they come up again, I can assure the EC that the Agriculture Committee stands ready to support countermeasures to make sure U.S. farmers are given fair access to world markets.” Bills Pending Helms said other bills currently Iffttie engine quits, two-way radio could pay for itself today.

H.R. 3867 (comparable to S. 2052), a bill to amend the Perishable Agricultural Com modities Act, would provide sellers and suppliers of fresh fruits and vegetables with assurances of timely payment. Helms said he hopes this bill will move quickly when Congress returns. Also, extensions of the National Aquaculture Act of 1980 (S. 1101), and the Native Latex Com mercialization and Economic Development Act (H.R. 2733), which have been reported by the committee, may be considered early in the session. .^JOHNSON Food Stamps The committee will review the recommendations of the President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control regarding all areas within the Department of Agriculture. In addition, the committee will review the findings and recommendations of the President’s Task Force on food Assistance. The committee will conduct hearings on S. 1279, the Chairman Helms’ bill to provide state option block grants for nutrition assistance in lieu of the Federal food stamp program. Hearings will be held also on the food stamp program, specifically POULTRYMEN - CONSIDER DISEASE RESISTANCE - VIA BETTER NUTRITION - NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS It works for cows. See ad below. Why shouldn’t natural products prevent disease if they stop existing ailments There must be a better way. Why do some people not get a virus which others get? Because of stronger resistance. Disinfecting Is Not The Answer... Back To Nature Is. If I stand on your foot and you holler, what shal I do get off of your foot or cut off your tongue?

A farmer with 150 cows using a natural product on the whole herd, increased fat from 3,75 to 4% in November, and milk 250 lbs. per day, equal to $55 Cost only about $lO per day or less according to quantity. Same product in hogs saved 12% on feed and nearly that much on chickens because of better digestion. Evidence from the dairy, less product may give same results, thereby more than paying for itself also in chickens. Product is money back guaranteed if you can’t see im provement in layer’s healthy appearance or performance in 10 days, (before disease outbreak). it is not government approved yet, but if you are desperate, you and the poultry industry can’t afford to wait Our other proof is sufficient.
