disaster status
SOUGHT The Lancaster
County drought disaster com
mittee Las requested that
part of the county receive a
disaster area rating.
Since the state committee
had turned down a prior re
quest for a disaster rating
lor the entire county, it was
thought that a reevaluation
could help some of the hard
est hit county areas. The
areas defined were all the
townships north of the Lin
coln Highway from Lancas
ter to Columbia, and north
of Route S 3 from Lancaster
to New Holland.
_ POULTRY ASSN. TO CLOSE
AUCTION After nine years
Of operation, directors of the

75 percent of its weekly list

firms announced plans to dis
continue use of the sales.
Directors said that in the
face of this development they
“couldn’t justify continuing
the Exchange auction ” The
final auction sale wa.s sched
uled for January 30.

The market for the 19G0
tobacco crop opened slowly
on Monday, the iGih Eight
Companies were reported in
the fle'd but fanneis seemeid

consider a \ery high quality

spe'ctnely, but some crops
changed hands at 28 cents
straight through.

AND THE LONELY LANE waits itt white stillness for the friendly cmncl

Do
your cows can really give?
Did you ever hear of a poultryman whs
gathered his eggs and then decided how
much feed to give his hens? Or of a hog
man who weighed his pigs and then
decided how much feed they ought te
get next day?
But how many dairymen do you know
who weigh Bossy's milk, then decide how
much feed to give her?
Doesn’t make sense, does it?
Wayne's New Concept Dairy Feeding
Program does! It leads Bossy into high
production with high grain feeding FIRST.
