at the Uainranltjr have ob
served increasing amounts of
crop damage, especially on
spinach, potatoes and various
ornamental plants, believed to
be caused by air pollutants.
Damage in some cases was so
severe that entire fields of
spinach were discarded. In
addition, plants grown in
greenhouses in New Castle
county have shown similar
damage.
In agricultural areas where
industrialization and urbaniza
tion are constantly encroach
ing upon the land, reduced
crop losses and higher produc
tion are needed to make the
farm venture profitable, Dr.
Crossan explained.
“That industrial air pollu
tion is damaging to plants and
to human health is an acknow
ledged fact,” he said. "Basic
studies are needed to deter
mine the cause and effect re
lationships of air pollutants
and plant responses. Any evi
dence of a fundamental nature
concerning the response of
host cells to pollutants will be
of value in similar studies in
human health." He said the
results of this and similar
studies should prove useful to
governmental agencies in their
efforts to regulate air pollu
tion as it affects all aspects of
human health and welfare.

Farm Show Only
5 Weeks Away;
Plans Shape Up
The theme for this year'*
Farm Show is “Agribusiness—
Keystone for the New Penn
sylvania.”
Farm Show Week, January
11-15, is only five weeks away
and Horace Mann, director,
says entries of all kinds are
arriving in great numbers. One
problem will be to fit them
into the available space. Most
of the space is claimed early.
The Farm Show is an all-
Pennsylvania event. A symbol
of the State’s agriculture, it
will also depict this year the
close relationship between the
farm and allied businesses, and
between agriculture and the
State’s total economy.
There will be 11,000 exhib
its, including all the latest in
farm machinery. As in other
years, the exhibits will indi
cate the variety and diversity
of Pennsylvania’s agriculture.
Rural youth who enter the
best exhibits in the Farm
Show will be taking home $14,-
544.75 in cash premiums,
Mann said.
This represents 23 per cent
of the total premium budget
of over $63,000. Both figures
are new all-time highs in the
49-year history of the show.
There will be several hun
dred young people competing
for these prizes as members
of 4-H Clubs, Future Farmers
of America, and Future Home
makers of America. It is esti
mated that between 60-70 of
these boys and girls will be
representing Lancaster County.
In addition to cash awards
these youths, competing as
teams and as individuals, will
get ribbons and special prizes.
