EGGtober
EGGtober, the month of
eggs- is being sponsored again
this year by the Poultry and
Egg National Board. More
than 9.000 chain store execu
tives with many times that
number of stores are tying
in with this nationwide egg
promotion event.
For some new ideas on
how to prepare and serve
delicious, nutritious and in
teresting egg dishes see the
Women's section, pages 8
and 9.
Tobacco In
Heavy Run
Caution seemed to be the
watchword early in the wees
when the major tobacco
companies moved into the
field. Buyers slipped onto the
farms and quietly offered to
buy the leaf at prices rang
ing from 30 through to 35
and 20 cents
Generally farmers were
not anxious to move their
crops, reported by many to
be the best in years
As the week progressed
the bidding became more ac
tive with the wholehearted
entry of the so called “Big
Three” into the field Bayuk
opened-the bidding on Mon
day morning at a reported
30-30 price apparently spur
red into action by the suc
cess of P. Lorilland on Sat

Agri. Course Started At
Garden Spot High School
Education in Agriculture got an assist in Lancaster
County this summer when the Garden Spot High School at
New Holland instituted a course in Vocational Agriculture.
It is the first time such a course has been offered in thav
part of the county.
Laboring under the diffi
culty of an unfinished build
ing, Mr. Robert Herr, teach
er of Vocational Agriculture
has been making a beginning
and advance toward a pro
gram in keeping with the
Agricultural potential of the
area.
Most of the boys enrolled
in the curriculum have form
ulated plans for Supervised
Farming Proargms on their
home farms. Predominant a
mong the projects scheduled
to begin in the near future
are dairy heifers and swine,
with tobacco projects sched
uled for early next spring.
While the department of
Agriculture is still small
(there are 6 sophomores and
14 freshmen) Herr is confi
dent that it will grow be
cause of the agricultural na
ture of the community.
The course this year is be
ing offered only to boys in
the 9th and 10th grades, but
in two years it will be a full
four year program.
One of the first items on
the schedule for the boys this
fall is participation in the
New Holland Farm Fair.
Each boy enrolled will enter
at least one exhibit, but
many will enter several.
