County Population Continues Shift,
Max E. Smith Says in Annual Report
County Agent Max M. Smith
says in his annual, report that
the trend of part time farming
and sub-urban population growth
is evident in Lancaster County.
To meet the needs of this shift
ing population Smith reports that
aM mass communication media
available is being used to meet
their requests and in quiries.
He lists the following means
used the last year- 3,004 farm
and home visits, 3,064 office calls,
6,571 phone calls, 3,524 bulletins,
299 news articles, 274 radio pro
grams, 10 television 'shows, and
526 meetings or tours attended
by 55,474 people.
The yearly report also notes
that the county continues to
lead the state in wheat produc
Winter Good Time
To Use Chemicals
On Brush, Stumps
Winter is a good time to use
on brush and stumps.
Chemicals give more effective
kill in winter than at any other
time of year. The kill is especial
ly effective on trees, like oak,
maple, ash" and basswood.
Using a basal or dormant spray
in the winter takes away most of
the worry of damaging growing
crops with the chemicals and, of
course, there is less field work to
compete for the farm labor.
Put the material on the bottom
18 inches of the standing trees
or stumps of cut trees. Thorough
ly wet the bark, until you get a
little run-off down the side of
the tree
They add that a hand sprayer
with a cone type of nozzle does
the best job, but a power sprayer
and a paint brush also can be
used satisfactorily. There are two
chemicals you can use. One is
the ester form of 2,4-D, and the
other is a mixture Of the ester
forms of 2,4-D and 2,4-5 T. Use
about a 2 per cent concentration,
and use one pound of the chemi
cal to 8 gallons of fuel oil. Put
ting on the chemical in the wint
er is a little more expensive than
a summer spray, since the work
must be done by hand, but it is
a good winter time job.

at the test plots
Thorne is being removed from
the recommended list.
Egg and broiler prices were
good the first half of 1956 due to
reductions the previous year in
the numbers of laying hens am£
broilers raised. Increased pro
duction. in the number of laying
hens, broilers, and turkeys has
caused heavy marketing and low
er prices.
Thp outlook for the .next six
months is for heavy produc
tion, lower prices and relative
ly high feed costs resulting
in low net returns.
The highlight for the
beef producers the last year was
the tour of Philadelphia packing
plants and the 10,000 acre King
(Ranch in Chester County. Three

the tour.
