Snavely's Farm Service
The NeW York boys were
particularly impressed with
the beautiful farm land, the
well-kept buildings and the
lack of waste land.
We were equally impres
sed with the friendliness,
and genuine kindness of the
people who took us into
their homes.
We found that the area a
round Lancaster-has a weal
th of industry, resources, tra
dition and local history.
Xhe success of our trip was
due in no small part to the
ground work laid by Mr
Owen, editor of Lancaster
Farming, who arranged most
of our tours.
The spots of interest visit
ed were varied but we
would like especially to
thank Miss Emma Landis
who so ably described the
collections and historic back
ground at the Landis Valley

Mr. John Blane, staff mem
her at the Lancaster Stock
yards, escorted the boys on
an excellent tour explain
ing the Complete operation
in detail. Mr. McCoy gave
us the other angles explain
ing grading of cattle and the
part he and the participat
ing members play-
Mr. Robert Martin ably
explained the intricacies of
potato chip production at the
Musser Potato Chip factory.
This was a completely new
and enjoyable feature and
experience for our boys.
Mr. Bob Schroll of the
New Holland Sales Stables
conducted us on an explana
tory trip beginning at the
unloading chutes and end
ing when the gavel descend

er Eitnler began with the as
sembling of parts and ended
with the completed equip
ment loaded on a flat car.
Other industrial spots of in
terest were the lime quarry
and the car auction at Man
heim and the DafEin Feed
mobile plant where Mr. Dodd
explained the assembly and'
the fact that a purchase did
not buy a mill but a busi
ness.
A farm of interest -visited
was that of Noah Kreider
and sons Dick and Junior.
Here our members learned
that a farm can be really
big business if conducted
skillfully. The diversification
of crops, poultry, dairy and
beef together with out put
per unit was amazing.
A final stop was made at
Dean Hoffer’s past National
Regional FFA Vice Presi
dent, whom some of our
members had met last year
