bas a cornerstone bearing the
date 1792 and also the name
Christian Hersheim Sometime
later the name was Americanized
to Hershey which was Mrs Kieid
er’s maiden name
Farming on the 102 acres of
the home place kept the Krciders
busy until the boys started grow
ing up. In 1942 the second faim
of 138 acres was added “We still
owned everything, and the boys
worked for wages,” said Kieider
“But after we bought the third
farm of 120 acres in 1945 we en
tered a paitneiship with the boys
I think that is the way it should
be.”
In addition to the two boys
the Kreideis have two daughters
The daughteis aie in the paitner
ship too, Kreider was quick to ex
plain though their arrangement
was different from that of the
boys.
The Kreiders have five mam
enteiprizes ‘dairy, beef, poultry
potatoes and tobacco Kreider ex
plained “Our net farm income for
any one year may not be as high
but we take less risk of having a
bad year in all our sources of in
come.

will include 85 acres of irrigated
potatoes, 70 acres of corn, 63
acres of barley, plus hay, oats, to
bacco, and pasture. Livestock on
the farm includes 70 head of
holstein dairy cattle, 71 head of
beef cattle, 6,000 layers and
14,000 broilers Foui batches of
broilers are raised each year
Mr Kreider summed up the
whole management picture with
“We pay the bills, and if any
thing is left we buy a few things
But we pay the bills first ”
Many of the members of the
tour were extremely interested in
the visit to the farm and ponds
of Lloyd F Nolt, Silvei Springs
near Landisville The Nolt dairy
barn has recently been remodeled
to increase the size of the herd
from 30 to 40 head The 112 acres
is in a rotation of wheat, corn
and alfalfa, with the alfalfa acre
age being increased each year
The farm has been m the Nob
family since the original deed
v'as issued to Philm von Nultz in
1756 Howeever, the dairy and
crop portion of the farm is only
one phase of the operation
Under one of the laigest Black
Walnut trees in Pennsylvania is
the first of the 20 fish ponds Nolt
has built dining the past 30
years The fust pond was slaited
as a hobby after Nolt read an
article on garden ponds in a
magazine Today The Nolt familj
sells 20,000 to 50,000 fish per
week.

We raise only about 5% ol the

eplamed Molt He went on to tell
the gioup that weather here pei
mits only limited growth Warm
er climates can grow the speci
mens much quicker, therefore, it
is better to purchase much of the
material they handle

Turkey Hill Dairy, Conestoga,

the herd of 180 Holstems and
Guernseys being milked One
item which interested most of the

Mr Armor Frey, owner and oper
ator of the 700 aci e faim explain
ed that the machine would le
move all odors including grass
and garlic from milk
Asked how he got started in
farming and increased the size of
his farm, Fiey answered, “All
I ever did was farm ’ Staiting
with 185 acics in the home faim
which was largely farmed in to
bacco, Frey now farms 700 acres
milks 180 head of cows, feeds 150
head of replacement dairy stock
and 100 to 150 head of beei
cattle.
