Farm Museum To Expand
The famed Pennsylvania Farm
Museum at Landis Valley ac
quired an additionad two acres
iccently, and plans to expand.
“Officials of the Pennsylvan
ia Historical and Museum Com
mission came to Lancaster this
week (July 20) to survey pi As
pect s for expansion both at
Landis Valley and at the Eph
rata Cloisters.
The comtnisbion vetoed the
idea of a farm village, empha
sizing that the individual
character of the farm museum
would be lost.
Wh'Mi plans are completed,
the grounds of the museum
will be turned about face, and
will look toward the Lancaster-
Reading highway.

Rain* Hinder Field Work
Rainy weather continued to
hamper field work on area
farms. Harvesting of hay was
difficult in all sections. Corn
has excellent, dark green color
and stands waist high.
Rain during the first two
weeks of July totaled about 75
percent of the normal for the
entire month. M. M. Smith,
Lancaster County Agent, re
ported “I don’t know when
I’ve seen corn, tomatoes, and
tobacco grow as fast as they
have this year.”
County Farmers Vote Down
Wheat Quota Although
farmers across the nation voted
better than four to one for
continuation of federal con
trols on next year’s wheat crop,
Lancaster County farmers vot
ed five to one against the
measure.

1% Fly Spray
If you’re sick and tired of fooling around with
weak, half-hearted fly sprays, then you’re ready
*■
for DIBROM, Minutes after you spray, every fly
that’s been hit will be dead or dying. When DI-
<
BROM hits ’em, they stay hit. Even if they’re re-
sistant to other sprays
DIBROM is registered to spray over and around
cattle. In fact, Dibrom in emulsified form is even
safe to spray on food crops, up to four days of
harvest,
It’s easy to use, comes to
you ready-mixed and gives
you real economy. Sure, it
costs a little more than
your pyrethrin sprays, but
you’ll find that it gives a
lot better kill. So when all
is said and done you wind
up getting back a lot more
of the money that flies
have been costing you in
reduced milk and meat
production.
Come in and see us . . .
well be glad to show you
how to go after flies like
