The Ameri can Hereford Assn, has approved a request from the National West ern Polled Hereford Assn, for a three generation pedigree on the face of a registration certificate. D. O. Geier, president of the National Western, also announc ed that the American Hereford Assn, approved a request from the National Western to sponsor one national polled show each year and continue sponsorship of the National Western sale in con junction with the Denver stock show. Geier said that “we are firm in our convictions that polled .Herefords should not be consid ered as a separate breed of cattle but as a hornless strain of Here fords, possessed of the same bloodlines and characteristics that have made Herefords the greatest breed of beef cattle on earth.” He added that “simplification ot the processes of registration transfer and promotion of polled Herefords is desired by the vast majority of breeders throughout the United States and that such simplification is postively neces sary to the satisfactory growth of our business.” BUY NOW & SAVE 800 White Leghorn Pullets 280 2500 White Cornish Cross 120 Reich Poultry Farm R 1 MARIETTA Ph.

Lancaster Farming, Friday, Feb. 32, 1957 Picker-Sheller Corn Harvesting Poses Grain Drying Problems Corn picker-sheller harvesting, in the offing on Pennsylvania farms, emphasizes the need for gram drying facilities. Small giains, now universally combine harvested, present problems, but corn is even more difficut to dry, E. F. Oliver and W. L. Kjelgaard, agricultural engineers at the Pennsylvania agricultural experi ment station have found. Warm air must be circulated freely through shelled corn in or der to dry at harvest time, they observed. Outside air forced through newly-combined small grains was found adequate to dry them, but the air usually is warm er and drier in summer when combining is done than when corn is picker-shelled. In one test shelled corn con taining nearly 30 per cent mois ture covered warm air ducts spaced four feet apart to a depth of six feet At the end of two weeks the grain over the ducts dried to a moisture content of 10 per cent while that between the ducts went down only to 25 per cent. Drying also was poor in the corners, at the ends, and on the bottom of the bin. To im prove the results, the researchers had to move the corn about and stir it with a portable electric grain augur. Bits of trash, leaves, silks and soil often accumulate in shelled ■ Ivon M. Martin LIMESTONE LOOKING FOR RESULTS?
