Model Farmstead To Be Feature Of World Fair Tile three million or more people of India who flock to New Delhi in December-' to visit the international agri cultural fair will be greeted with, a real eye-opener—an enormous scale model of an American farming communi ty, complete with crops, live- -wooded area, a poul try farm, bam, silos and* ev erything else that goes to make up the genuine article. The model measures 3S by 42 feet' with a differential in elevation from its lowest to its highest point of 30 inches, making it one of the largest in the world It is built to a one-eighth scale, . Thus one foot equals approximately 100 feet. A six foot tall man would be - %of an inch in height; and a large dairy cow Vz inch high at the shoulder. Chickens' will be about the size of the head of a safety match. The farming community is one of the leading features of the U. i 3. Exhibit of the Fair which opens on Dec.. 1 1 and. will continue through February 14, 1960. About 15 nations are to participate. The United States will dis play- the latest techniques of agricultural research, pro duction- and marketing, which have made this nation, the world’s greatest produc er erf food and by-products. Four- thousand miniature trees- were manufactured! to make up' the wooded areas. On a. large hill near the dairy farm. a. timber harvesting op eration was set tip. There are camp sites; nature trails for recreation, a dam anddry droelectric plants generating electricity for the town and surrounding area. In the small part" of the town shown on the terrain model there are a few dwellings,, church es, a supermarket; a farmer’s market and ! a school:' The • poultry ‘ fton, one of .the model’s effective features, has three-chicken houses of 1,250 bird capacity plus range, houses. There are also structures for feed storage, an egg- 1 holding house, the farmer’s residence and a gar age. The general farm, includes crops.of corn, small grain, hay, pasture and an orchard, all designed to show rural life in the United States.

These findings of research work just completed in lowa were under condi tions compare, bio to Pennsy’- vama. In the lowa studies, nitro gen furnished by green ma nure was equivalent to fifty pounds per acre of fertilizer nitrogen Legume green ma nures were from 16 to 48 per cent as efficient as nitrogen fertilizers for producing corn Sweet clover pioduccd- the most nitrogen per acre, fdl iowod by Ranger alfalfa, red do'scr and ] adino clover in that order But, don'f overlook the ad \ antages of cover crops In add tion to the nitrogen sup plied by legumes, cover crops help to check erosion, add or maintain soil organic matter, and improve soil tilth Give Lancaster Farming advertising a chance to work Lancaster Farminor, November 21, 195&—5>
