Seventy-two Winter Suits...
Sound like a husband’s nightmare? Not really. She’s a
buyer for a Pennsylvania department store.
It’s a delightful job, but not the easiest one in die world.
Pennsylvania consumers are accustomed to having the best
variety of goods available in the outstanding stores and
shopping malls that are everywhere in the Commonwealth.
Now, if you're a husband, you may not ever want your
wife to see a Pennsylvania store.
But if you’re a wife, there’s this store in Pennsylvania
where they have some great-looking winter suits ~.

Confeienee heie last week, said
pai alytic-type health pi oblems
in livestock “seem to crop up
veiy frequently wheie soils aie
known to be low in magnesium
content ”
The agiononnst pointed out
that the Penn State Soils and
Forage Testing Laboiatoiy has
compiled sufficient data on
nutuent levels of the vanous
Commonwealth soils to show is
lationships between livestock
disordeis and low soil levels of
magnesium
“The most seveie heid pi ob
lems appeal to be on fauns
v/heie high pioduction is
achieved along with an inten
sive ciopping piogiam ” Heddle
son emphasized “When laiae
amounts of nitiogen aie apphed
to the soil, this tends to supiess
magnesium uptake in the foiage
plants ”
In seme aieas of the state,
the agiononnst said magne
sium soil levels aie much lov'er
than in othei sections In soils
wheie magnesium is low and
potassium levels aie high ;he
plants generally contain Jaige
amounts of potassium which
cieates pioblems in achievmg
balanced lations foi livestock
Heddleson pointed out that
soil testing and the application
of magnesium accoiding to test
recommendations may prove
valuable in areas wheie soils
are low in the element
