Thomas R. Terrill is director of the laboratory at Landisville, the new'farm being formely own ed by William K. Risser family who still occupies the stone resi dence, which at a later date will be converted into offices for the staff. Formerly a tobacco farm, many changes must be made to convert the farm into an exper imental station. Little nitrogen has been needed by the soils, under results of tests, and the lowest test was on phosphorus. Rotations used include corn, to bacco, hay and hay, with Pen Scott Clover and orchard grass being used as hay crops. Best Barleys Listed Of the 88 acres, 75 are tillable. Among those in attendance were Dr. B. F. Coon, Penn State entomologist; Elmer Piper of the extension service. Dr. Briner advised the best barleys for this included Wong, Kenbar and Hudson.

It appears from his testimony that he would like to build a wall around the west to keep out competition in the-sale of meat and the purchase of livestock With 'modern transportation by rail and truck, meat packers in many states are able to do com petitive business in the far West and they are doing it-. This is advantageous to consumers in that area, as well as to livestock producers inside and outside the area. “Monopoly in this industry would be impossible to ac complish because there are about 4,000 plants scattered around the country which every day are buying live- stock and selling meat and these plants are sharply com > petitive in both operations. Last year, some 130 new plants were opened or being built largely In newly develop- ing livestock-producing areas. “As for branded or graded meat, consumers can get fed erally graded meat if they want it; f or, if they desire it, they can get meat graded and brand ed by experts of meat packing companies in which they have confidence. Nobody is trying to break up grading or branding systems. We suggest, however, that consumers should not con fuse federal meat grading with marks indicating veterinary in spection for wholesomeness. The two are entirely different.” RAM TOPS SALE. $725 Thirty-one rams averaged $275 in the first production sale of the spring at Green Meadows Farms, HD Bareville June 19, with a top of $725 paid for a ram by Mrs. Amy Wilson of Texas.
