Agricultural Trade Act Called Valuable Aid To Agriculture
In testimony before the Senate Agriculture and Forestry committee the National Grange praised Public Law 480 as a vital aid to farming. Harry L.

The Grange urged continued use to develop markets for American agricultural products without harming farmers at home. A Holstein cow from Adams town set a high dairy record with 16140 pounds milk and 353 pounds butterfat in 303 days.
