Wheel-Track
Planting Is
Explained
HARRISBURG, Wheel
track corn planting, a new
idea in corn culture, can oe
a valuable tool in preventing
eiosion losses, according to
William L Henning, chair
man of the SH f e Sell Con
servation Com vnssion
With th’s method, com is
planted on freshly plowed
ground in a seedbed prepared
bj the tractor wheels The
rough, loose soil between
rows reduces run-oft by ab
sorbing moisture
Erosion may also be redu
ced on old hay ana pasluie
land o "cause it is not plow
ed unul (-uoy for plant
ing
Ar r.uUd benefit, Henning
says, is that wheel m ok plan
ting can save about 40 per
cent of tillage costs
According to studies at
Penn State, this amounts to
about §5 an acre over the
usual method of planting
corn It can be used on al
most any soil type in Ponna
Planting corn in the trac
tor wheel track will ’mprove
corn germination, especially
m dry years The depth of
kernel placement is uniform
and the freshly plowed fur
row usually contains enough
moisture to germinate the
seed rapidly
Pre-emergence treatment
with a chemical weed killer
at planting time, or spraying
five to seven days after plan
ting, will delay the first cuHi
\ ation for a period of two
weeks or longer.

Live virus, 'when used in
innoculating hogs, in many
cases causes the hogs to be

some instances, caused hog

Migration To Suburbs Poses
Problems Of Water Contamii
Lancaster, Pa “The mi
gration to suburbs by thous
ands of families continues to
create new problems in the
nature of water supply and
waste disposal," according to
Clift Lehman, Water Condi
tioning Consultant for pern
tury Appliance Co , 15 West
Chestnut St. Many suburban
and fringe area dwellers live
beyond the municipality pro
tected water sources and
must rely on their own pri
vate water and sewage sys
tems
With the wide adoption of
chlorine-treated water, the
civil population-have enjoy
ed a freedom from typhoid
and other water-borne dis
eases i at the rapid shift of
population, to-rural areas has
brought back the fearful
spectre of typhoid.
U. S Public health statis
tics show the typhoid death
rate in 1950 had moved up
sharply after some 50 years
of relatively few deaths and
even now continues to rise
In the past year alone, 17
states show a 50% increase
in typhoid cases.
Contamination of water
supplies happens in many
ways Most common of these
include nearby contaminated
wells, excavations, tree roots,
faulty and lusted well cas
ings, polluted streams, septic
tanks and abandoned wells,.
It is possible the contamina
tion may be coming from
miles away thru under-
