16—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. November 18. 1961 Campaign For Agriculture Center Funds Postponed Until January Opening of the Lancaster County Agricultural Center Fund Campaign, scheduled for late this month (Nov.) has been shifted to the week of January 8, according to Noah W. Kreider, Chairman of the Campaign Steering Committee, following a me eting of the group. The cam paign will be for the pur pose of raising $300,000 to erect an Agricultural Center along the route 230 by-pass at an estimated cost of $4OO - A site and an initial gift of $lOO 000 have already been assured by an anony mous donor. The first phase of the drive centers on solicitation of Farmers and Farm-relat ed businesses in the County, Planned, originally, to get under way this month, the rural canvass will be car ried out in January; with a canvass of City and Subur ban industries, businesses and individuals scheduled for early in February. The change in the campaign calendar affects over-all plan ning by only two weeks, Mr. Kreider pointed oujt, since the second and final phase of the drive had been schedul ed to end February 10. It will now close on February 24 instead, according to pre sent plans. Favorable weather and considerable work in harves ting crops has hampered some District Campaign Chairmen from devoting ade quate time to organization of the drive, the Committee indicated. As of Tuesday, 21 of the 36 - “District” Chair men had reported 315 adults enlisted for canvassing. A total of 550 to 600 will be heeded to solicit in rural areas. Levi H. Brubaker, Chair -inan of the Fartn Gifts Di reported that consi .ftferable interest has been de veloping, in the proposed ©enter, and stated that the added time for organization work will permit the kind of thorough solicitation Dist rict Chairmen want to make. Be also indicated that nume 'rous county leaders believe -early in January will be 'better for the Farm Gifts canvass, due to less pressure in the area of farm work.

Just dial -- Lancaster, EXpress 2-2145 May 'W i - * Hero are a few suggestions which may help. Provide clean (immaculate is better) quarters, -properly disinfected and free from lice and mites. Be sure you do not bring in any lice or mites. Check your birds BEFORE bousing. Check for worms and if necessary worm your pullets BEFORE you put them into a nice clean house. They will not be so apt to reinfect themselves. Your vaccination program shou’d be completed with birds properly immunized for New Castle Bronchitis and Fowl Pox. Note; In Eastern Pennsylvania, Laryngotracheitis is an increasing problem and vaccination for this disease is desirable (imperative in some areas). Feeders and fountains should be in A 1 shape and your feeder and water space adequate. House your pullets preferable on or before they lay 10% and put them on a laying ration at the 10% level of pro duction. Base your election of a ration in its efficiency in produc ing eggs amount of feed per dozen eggs times feed cost per pound. DO NOT BUY ON PRICE ONLY Note: KEEP RECORDS. You cannot judge your program fairly without them. Begin to think about cold weather. PREPARE NOW to keep birds comfortable this winter by avoiding wet houses and frozen water lines. Save egg cleaning time by teaching your birds to use the nests when you have the pullets. This is another good reason for bringing the pullets in from range be fore they lay too heavy. QUALITY EGGS PAY BEST RETURNS. Is your egg program geared to deliver the kind of quality your buy er wants? If not, DO SOMETHING about it. The fu ture market of Pennsylvania eggs depends upon every producer’s effort along this line and all programs to in crease consumption will fail unless all of us are quality conscious 7 days a week.
