Solves Problems Farmers have been looking for a late orehardgrass that will yield as well as any other Pennlate is the variety that will do it, accoidmg to Dr John E Baylor, Associate Pro fessor of Agronomy, Coopera tive Extension Service The Pennsylvania State Universty Farmers have been planting the variety S-37 in order to have an orehardgrass that ma tures a week later than com mon orehardgrass. This variety, however, yields 1 to IV2 tons less per acre than other or chardgrass varieties Pennlate actually heads 7-10 days later than common orehardgrass (the same as S-37) but without a loss of yield, Dr Baylor says. Pennlate is a high quality, leafy variety with vigorous growth. Its winter hardiness is better than S-37. As a quality forage Pennlate has little com petition among orchardgras ses, and is far superior to other late varieties. It grows well in association with legumes, es pecially alfalfa and ladino clo ver. Investigation of varieties of orchardgrass began in 1949 at the U S Regional Pasture Laboratory m cooperation with the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station Breeders selected plant strains on the basis of winter hardiness, leaf iness, disease resistance, plant type and recovery after cutting Under the direction of Penn State agronomists, in four years of evaluation and testing in Pennsylvania’s soil and climate, the new variety ot orchard grass was found to be super ior in all respects and was made available to contract growers as Pennlatc Tiactots me nuohed in nioi e taim aceideiiis tlian an\ ohtei faim implement But other machines haie higher accident tales because thev are used less Based on hours of opeiation, the cornpicker is the most dangerous taim ma chine. find Rubber Company will also St. Paul's Union .Church, Hve ' {Service BfrJpr present ‘ awards to the champ- Bernvllle, will operate ,a- food.
