Lititz. Pa. State Angus Fieldman Quits For Florida Job HARRISBURG Resignation of Scott L. French, Harrisburg, as fieldman-secretary of the Pennsylvania Angus Assn, was announced by Charles J. Danne mann, president of the statewide group. French has_taken a job as gen eral manager of the 2,500 acre M and M Ranch at Loxahatchee, Fla. Dannemann said. The ranch has a herd of 800 registered and com mercial Angus cows. “French has done much to sti mulate interest in Angus cattle in Pennsylvania and to build a go ing organization,” Dannemann said. “It is with deep regret that the board accepts his resigna tion.” It is effective March 1. According to Dannemann, An gus sales in/ the state rose from $245,000 in 1952 to over $500,000 in 1956 while French served as fieldman-secretary. Today, Dannemann said, Penn sylvania is recognized as one of the top Angus states in the na tion. Four of the past six Inter national grand championships were won by Pennsylvania-Angus, he points out, lending new pres tige to the Keystone State. Pure bred Blacks from Pennsylvania farms have also been prominent in the Eastern National Livestock Show and the Angus show at the Eastern State Exposition in re cent years, he added. Center building project Con struction of’ the Poultry Center was recently completed. The Poultry Center located on Route 230 By-Pass and East Rose ville Road, will serve as a meet ing place for educational lectures and demonstrations ot the poul try association, other agricultural associations and allied groups and for conducting the poultry auctions of the Lancaster Poultry Exchange.

Tickets to the banquet may be obtained from Lewis L. Morten sen, secretary, East Petersburg. Planning Aids Proper Choice Of Ornamentals Home owners planning to do planting about the home grounds can get considerable information from new garden books, periodi cals, magazines, and agricultural extension circulars and leaflets, informs Associate County Agent Harry S. Sloat. Also, he points out, local reliable nurserymen can be of help in the choice of ma terials As a starter, Sloat suggests planting suitable shade trees, background trees, and a few orna mental flowering and berry bear ing trees, and possibly also shrubs which can be planted along the front foundation of the house. He advises against use of plants for foundation treatment which outgrow their position. Tall grow ing varieties of pines, hemlocks, spruces, firs, false cypresses, and other similar foundation plant ings too often outgrow their posi tion Better use smaller growing species and varieties of narrow leaved and broadleaved ever greens A few deciduous shrubs can be used effectively for pro ducing flowenng material at vari ous seasons Order plant material while nursery supplies are ample. Garden clubs sponsoring com munity proiects with the help of other community organizations are helping to make their local communities and Pennsylvania beautiful. Many communities have attractive entrance plant ings. Some towns have lamp posts with effective decorations of an nuals during the late spring, sum mer and early fall seasons, and decorate them with evergreen boughs for the holidays.
