Now Open* INTERCOURSE FREE PARKING INTERCOURSE Soil- BaSk Giving Tree Waiiliiig' Greatest Impetus Since CCC Tree planting under the Soil Bank conservation reserve pro gram is getting its biggest impe tus since the days of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the U. S. De partment of Agriculture says. With states expanding Jheir tree nurseries and arranging with privately-owned nurseries to in* crease output, nursery seedling production for the Soil Bank pro giam will total 5 billion. This is more than double the 235,000,000 trees planted by the Cvnlian Con servation Corps between 1933 and 1942. To date, some 38 state forestry agencies have signed agreements with the USDA’s Forest Service whereby they will receive finan cial aid to provide either nursery stock, technical forestry assist ance, or both, for farmers plant ing trees on conservation reserve lands. These states plan nursery sowing in 1957 for a future‘Soil Bank production of about 700 rfullion trees. Approximately 400 million of these trees will be available for planting next fall and the spring of 1958. While nursery production for .the Soil Bank is getting started many nurseries will give priority on their regular stock to farmers applying for Soil Bank trees. Forest industry nurseries also are making trees available to farm ers participating in the program. It is expected that 250 million trees Will have, been made avail / % J. Mowery Frey To Receive Breeder Award BRATTLEBORO, Vt J._ Mowery Frey, Lancaster, has qualified for the Progressive Breeders’ Award the highest recognition attainable by a breed er of registered Holstein cattle. The Holstein-Friesian Assn of America has accorded this honor to only 327 Holstein breeding es tablishments in the entire nation. This is the second time that Frey, one of 36 Pennsylvania recipients, has been so recognized. To quahfy for the Progressive Breeders’ Award, a Holstein breeder must meet strict-require ments in all phases of dairy cat tlet, breeding and management, including production, type im provement, herd health and the development of home-bred ani mals. The last production test of the Frey herd m the Herd Improve ment-Registry program was com pleted Nov. 30, 1956, with the 38- cow herd averaging 13,020 lbs. of milk and 516 lbs. of butterfat on two milkings daily. The herd has also been offi cially classified for type with an average score of 82.2. The current award is based on a herd of 64 animals of which 43 have freshened. Thirty-six of these' were born and developed on the Frey farm. A certificate of this award has been sent to Frey by the Holstein- Fnesian Assn of America, na tional organization of the Hol stein breed 'representing nearly 47,000 members. A bronze year plate will be presented to him a meeting of Holstein breeders from his area to be added to the bronze plaque awarded when this herd first achieved the honor Tests Show Third of Flocks in NPIP Are Cross-Mated Cross mating of chicken flocks amounted to about one-third of the flocks under the supervision of the National Poultry Improve ment Plan in 1956 Of the flocks that were pure mated, White Rocks made up 25 per cent, White Leghoi ns 18 9 per cent, New Hampshircs 6 7 per cent, Rhode Island Reds, 2 4 per cent and Barred Rocks, 8 6 per cent Four years ago the New Hamp slures predominated among the pure flocks, but now the White Rocks are well out in ficnt. able for Boil Bank planting by June 30, 1957. Within three or four years nurseries will be producing 1 billion trees per year for the Soil Bank’program. This is in addition 'to trees produced for programs established prior to the Soil Bank. This later production for the year ending June 30, 1956 was 886 million trees. Nursery production for Soil Bank will be correlated with, the rate farmers sign tree planting contracts with their county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committees. To help with Soil Bank tree planting, 35 states have agreed to furnish technical forestry assist ance to farmers. Their personnel will provide about 1,000 man months on such work this year.
