Senate tackles feed grain bill amid House parity plans
The Senate Agriculture Committee voted 11 to 6 to send the feed grains bill to the Senate floor. Senator Allen Slender of Louisiana, chairing the committee, hopes a vote next week will follow. The bill mirrors recently passed House of Representatives legislation. S. A. Horton, delegate from Mount Joy Farmers Coop, reported the Metropolitan Cooperative Milk Producers Bargaining Agency backing supply management principles and a program drafted by Agency Manager Robert C. Forsythe. Horton, among 73 delegates at the semi annual House meeting in Syracuse, helped push two resolutions endorsing supply management and a program approach to its implementation.

Local Churches To Celebrate Soil Stewardship Sunday
Church and conservation leaders in Lancaster County urge use of visual materials for Soil Stewardship Week May 19 to 26. Explanatory booklets inserts and a film The Haith is the Lord's announced by Amos H Funk of Millersville RD 1 chair of the Lancaster County Soil Conservation District.

The district sponsors the observance as part of its educational program and calls on citizens to conserve resources that have built America. Statewide, Soil Stewardship Week is celebrated in 61 county districts.
