niost-frcqucntly overlooked is
the history of harmonious hunt
er-landowner relationships in
the Keystone State.
Nearly eight million acres of

Two important things
when borrowing money
You need a sharp pencil plus the specialized financial advlcs
of Farm Credit to determine how your financial needs can
best be served. Farm production must be maintained, even
increased if possible. Providing the financing to insure this is

Credit interest is based on the unpaid balance
of the loan. That saves you money.

A spoilsman never blocks a

shows respect for person and
