Fulton Grange Hall Addition Recall:
Formal Opening of Oakryn Hall
LANCASTER FARMING
here presents another in a
series of articles “From
Years Ago,” written, by
Charles E. Slentz, Quarry- •
ville.
'Fulton Grange'No. 66 is plan
ning to built an addition to its
hall -at Oakryn, Little Britain
township- At a recent meeting
of the Grange trustees and mem-!
bers' of the executive and finance
committees, plans were started
for an addition to be ibmlt to the
rear of the hall. Tame was when 1
the hall, acquired hy No. 66 in
1951, was a house of worshirp
a Methodist church, then located
.a few miles below the State line l
in Maryland. Carefully 'dis
mantled—with windows, doors
and sections intact—it came into
the hands of a lumber dealer at
Color®, Maryland. The tanlber
man sold the knocked-down struc
ture to the Oakryn Cornet Band;
that was early in 1708- As a band
hall—and consequently destined
to become the comtaunity_center
for musical events, plays, and
various types of entertainment
bnd public gatherings—it was
opened to the public Feb- 8,
that year.
The news, verbatim, was! “The
formal opening of the Oakryn
Band Hall Saturday proved to be
a pleasant affair. A large number
of persons attended. .. Samuel
P. Paxson, one of the band’s
faithful and oldest members,
■presided at the exercises.” Fitting
addresses featured in the pro
gram, while “music was fur
nished by the Oakryn Comet
Band, Little Britain Orchestra,
and Robert and Frank Scott.”
* The new hall is 36x60 feet,
with a Stage 12x36 feet. The
structure is well lighted by long
windows and has a seating ca
pacity of 400, exclusive of the
stage; it is outfitted" with chairs
A porch, with vestibule remains
to be added, which will be done
m the near future”
Thinking of adding things
whether porches, or what-have
you’ of a radically different
nature —one farmer, living in
New Holland section, was sorely
put to it to know what to add to
a particular hog. That was 75
years ago, and the news, copied
from The .Clarion of the com-,
munity, presents this amassing
“inside” story: “A nearby farmer
had a hog that refused to get any
heavier no matter what brand of
feed was stuffed into the animal.
He finally decided he might as
well butcher the pig. He dis
covered inside the animal 45
nails, 16 fair-sized stones, two
hog rings and one key. It seems
that the newsman olf 1881 felt
that, had the farmer “waited a
little longer, he might have been
able to stock a hardware store.”
ii
n
H
George W- Hensel, one-time
venerable hardware merchant of
Quarryville, would employ plenty
of interest and wit in commenting
on stocking a hardware store,
were he here today. Mr. Hensel
is being brought into the .picture
at this point because of a relic
or souvenir that was added to
his collection of keepsakes, 45
years ago at this time. It, Was a
sickle —one with quite a history
given to him by Robert B. Risk,
of Lancaster (This was Robert
B Risk of “Olbserved/and Noted”
fame, whose contributions on
what be observed and noted were
widely read throughout the
county, and far beyond—As for
the sickle, it came into Mr Risk’s
possession along about 1891—a
gift of the late John Long, of
, Liberty Square. “It was made by
Mr. Long's father, James Long,
who was one of the last to make
them in this country At one time
the Long family were celebrated
manufacturers, and carried on
the business on a large scale,
selling the goods through this
and other states.”
Our own county’s Now Holland
Machine Company ranks plenty
high among celebrated manufac
turers, ihas contributed, and con
tinues to contribute a wealth of
improved equipment and machin
ery indispensible in the farming
world. The loss sustained, in the
instance of fire ravaging its
processing plant on Lancaster
County’s .old Fair Grounds, -the
Hast of January, is most regret-

<table —.but even greater achieve!
ments will possibly soon rise oJ
the very ashes that now main
destruction. „ _ |
For 'some time a subsidiary on
Sperry Rand Corporation, wiM
brandies in nearly a dozen citiesg
in Hie United States and one m|
Canada, this enterprising coni|
pany flashed not fiery, but newj
of burning importance, none thS
less, early in 1006- I
Again we turn to The Ne-J
(Holland Clarion, and quote |
“Tlje New Holland Machine Com-I
ipany closed an important deal
this week with a Chicago firm
The contract which was signed
meant that the Chicago film
would purchase not less than
1,500 Holland Feed Mills
during the next year. This meant
that virtually the entire output
of the iplant Would go to the new
(customer.” Feed mills, in 1906,
expanded to take 'in even more
sales in automatic hay balers,
forage harvesters, forage blowers,
farm wagons, tractor saws, baler
twine and wire, tractor moweis,
spreaders, etc. No wonder New
Hollands implements are ‘First
in Grassland Farming - And as
(for ourselves, meaning this pub
lication? Sure, we’re ‘‘First with
Lancaster Farming!”
Lancaster farming, these many
years, has been retsponsible for
adding considerable weight to the j
State’s tobacco market. In horse
buggy days, for instance, ‘’Great
loads of tobacco arrived here
(Quarryville) today,” typically
reported The .Sun of Jan. 31,
1911, The loads were “‘placed
aboard the freight cars for Lan
caster, having been bought by
P S Hershey, of our town Moie
tobacco is being Shipped-from
Quarry Vile than for years.”
Forty, 50 year's ago, day after
day, in late January and througn
February, particularly, possibly
20, 30, sometimes even 40 or more
teams (rigs of every size and
description) virtual caravans
weighted With baled tobacco
from Southern End farms—
strung along the sidewalks, await
ing turns at the freight shipping
platforms. Similar scenes were
of course taking place at other
'shipping points in the county,
in the early days of the century.
Buinper-crop yields, matching oi
possibly surpassing Coleram
township’s top tobacco tonnage,
also were doubtless being re
ported from every point of the
compass in the Garden Spot
Citing Col'erain’s super harvest
of the week in 1010: “Abram
Rhoads, of Dry Wells, raised
23,430 lbs of tobacco on 11 acres,
the past year.” - '
And dow, in dosing, this “run
o' mill word; things were pretty
tight in milling, February of
1895, with Cooney's, Pyle's, Am
bler’s, Browntown and Bradley’s
mills frozen up.
Peters Creek, Mill did double
duty part of that time, for we’ie
-apprised “A- E. Todd, its mailer,
has been running his mill day
and night since the recent freeze
up.”
Registered Ayrshires
Sold to Two Breeders
Loc-al dairymen have recently
made an initial purchase of ic
gistered Aprshdres according to
the Ayrshire Breeders’ Asser
tion Executive Secretary, Chester
'C. Putney of Brandon, Vermont.
They are David Myer, Quarry
ville, one, land Lloyd Groff,
Gordonville, two.
The transaction was recorded
in the National Office of the
Ayrshire Breeders’ Association
'in Brandon where complete re
cords on all registered Ayrshire!
in the United States have heen
maintained since 1875.
Because of- their ability to
produce at a low cost an ahun
idance of milk with an average
ibutterfat test of four per cent
the Ayrshire breed of dairy
cattle has (become increasingly
popular with dairymen through
out the country.
