frit' i' /’i' 1 i ;■ ■ ' ('' Honor Courts At Farm Show Are Expanded - Harrisburg Adding color and effectiveness to the 1957 Penn sylvania Farm Show will be an expanded series of “Courts od! Honor” for display of champions in various divisions of the exposi tion, the Farm Show Commission announced today. The show opens on Monday morning, Jan. 14, and continues five days and four nights. Honor courts are set up prim arily for the benefit of show vis itors who can readily find and examine the top winners among the more than 10,000 competitive exhibits of farm and farm-home products that will be* displayed, according to Agricultural Secre tary William L. Henning, chair man of the Farm Show Commis sion. In 'addition, the special displays may be regaided as a mark of courtesy and recognition to the producers of the Pennsylvania farm products and their efforts to turn out championship win ners. Decorated Courts of Honor will be provided for maximum display of the grand champions and reserve champions in each of the beef cattle breeds—An gus, Hereford and Shorthorn. These will be located in the beef cattle barn. When the 4-H Baby Beef grand and reserve champions are se lected on Thursday of Farm Show week they will be placed in a suitably decorated and spot lighted Court of Honor at the head of the section where all 4-H Club animals will be on display. In the dairy barn a “Court of Champions” will show the grand champion female for each of the five leading breeds Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein and Jersey. Gilded cages in the poultry section, will be used to display the championship winners in the poultry show. Top place egg and chick displays will be spotlighted in this section also. An honor court fo) champion ship winners in the home eco nomics section is under consider ation for the coming show In the large arena, as soon as champions are selected in the horse and cattle judging events during the first four days of the Farm Show, each will be dis played briefly in a special court" of champions Similar honors for sheep and champions will be accorded as judging progress es in the small arena.

Deartment of Agriculture reports. Federal- State coopeiative research now under way points to methods' for overcoming present disadvantages of this practice m the East. Seed bed preparatiori by any tillage tool that leaves all or most of the crop residue on the soil surface is known as mulch tillage. In the more and parts of the U S, this “stubble-mulch farm ing” as it is commonly called decreases soil erosion and water lunolf, while giving yields that are 1 at least as high as those under soil-depleting clean 'culti vation But in the eastern sec tions of the country, where mulch-tillage research has been concerned mainly with corn pro duction, the practice often re sults in lower yields Scientists of USDA’s Agncul tuial Research Seivice and east ern state expeliment stations are seeking ways to couple high yields of corn with mulch tillage for effective soil and water conser vation They regard the outlook for success in this research as pi omising. Most farmers in the eastern part of the country are attempt ing to control soil and water Soss through crop rotation, contour f aiming, strip cropping, and terracing. Mulch tillage has proved its ability to save soil and water, permitting farmers to grow corn more often on the same land But on poorly drained soil, espe cially, this tillage method keeps the soil wet and cold foi too long in the spring Some' re searchers suggest that an ex posed strip of bare soil immedi ately above- the corn low be cleared of mullch to permit the soil to waim up earlier. Band placement of phosphate also may prove desirable Mulch tillage tends to increase weed problems in humid .areas Use of herbicides to kiM the old sod and control weeds during growth of the row crop, plus til lage with implements that culti vate through, surface mulches, may help overcome this difficul ty- Efficient Egg Production New Ful-O-Pep Laying Ration is a high efficiency feed formulated to give maximum production of market eggs for the least amount of labor.
