Mr. Bradshaw: The United Dairy Farmers, organized in seven counties of South- western Pennsylvania, are making an honest and comparative true fight on behalf of the economy and conditions of the dairy faamers of southwestern Pennsylvania. On this part, we have applied for permission and will be the only farm group to testify before the Joint Conservation Senate House Investigating Committee. We also have an appointment scheduled in Washington, D. C. , with the United States Department of Agriculture, at their request. On March the 15th, we filed with the President of the United States, a brief at their re- quest on conditions and true conditions of the dairy farmers of southwestern Pennsylvania, and the President of the United States has agreed to meet with the officers of this organiza- tion. We would like to have from the County Commissioners of Washington County, as every county commissioner board is being asked for, a letter as to the conditions you find them to be with the County of Washington in regard to the dairy farmers in particular. Mr. Flynn recently made a talk before the investigating committee on this fine act and some of the statements that he made in that address will apply to the conditions of agriculture here in Washington County. We would like this Board to give us such a letter and that letter will be presented to both the Pennsylvania Senate House Investigating Committee and to the Department of Agriculture in Washington, D. C. as part of our testimony before both of those groups. We are particularly interested in the effect of the County economy due to the lack of the justifiable returns to the dairy farmer, we are interested in the honest taxation the farmers pay in Washington County, we are interested in the value of the products produced by the farmer, we are interested in land use, we are interested in the number of people involved in Washington County, we are interested in true conditions of the farms. If you would be interested in seeing any of these letters that have been pre- sented by business concerns, by others in the seven counties, we would be very glad to
