VACATION DREAMS BECOME VACATIONS
AT THE CONESTOGA NATIONAL BANK
Peggy Miller is a busy worker in the mam office of the
Conestoga National Bank on Penn Square. Like most
of us at this time of year, she daydreams about
the perfect vacation To Peggy, nothing can surpass
hopping on a motor scooter to explore nature’s byways.
Of course, your ideal holiday may differ widely from
Peggy's. Perhaps you envision yourself motoring to
Montreal for Expo ’67, flying west to visit Disneyland, or
cruising leisurely through the tropic islands of the
Caribbean. But surely you share her enthusiasm
for the vacation of your dreams Like Peggy, you too,
can realize your dreams, even-if they are considerably
more elaborate than hers. Happy, carefree holidays
begin with a vacation loan from your Headquarters
for Money Matters—the nearest office of the Conestoga
National Bank Stop in soon and, discuss your vacation
dreams with someone who can make them come true.

cow and high output per work
er will be essential.
NEED HIGH PRODUCTION
The new. efficient unit should
meet certain production stand
ards including a herd average
of 14,000 pounds of milk per
cow or more; each worker, in
cluding the operator, should
handle 800,000 pounds of milk
per year. Many dairymen still
have one cow for each three
or four acres; not more than
one cow per acre for roughage
production is recommended.
Logically, cows will be fed
almost entirely on corn silage
throughout most of the United
States. Corn silage provides
high yields of energy per acre,
lends itself to mechanization
and presents no curing piob
lems
However, all modern dairy
units will not be large, mech
anized businesses, Hesseltine
predicts. There will still be
dairy farmers with relative
ly small, well-managed units.
These farmers will not make
big investments, but they will
have high production per
cow and they will produce
milk efficiently and therefore
make a profit. The big disad
vantage will be their seven
day week; large dairy opera
tors will have a five or six
day schedule for employees,
Hesseltine concludes.
CAREERS IN POULTRY
There are many areas of
service in the field of poultry
science, says Dr Floyd W.
Hicks, extension poultry spe
cialist at Penn State Univer
sity There are careers as tech
nicians, veterinarians, inspec
tors, regulators, quality con
trollers, and statisticians, in ad
dition to requirements for gen
eral service work and sales.
