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.

Mulbfr Tillage
Finding Use
In Eastern U.S.
Mulch tillage has become a
well-established practice in the
Great Plains, but in more humid
regions of the nation its use is
lagging, even though its value
for soil conservation is widely
recognized, the U S. 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-
