Pennsylvania champions will
compete with winners from 37
other Grange states to determine
a National winner.
A. Wayne Readinger, State
Grange master, said the sewing
project has been the fastest
growing contest for the distaff
side of the Patrons of Husbandry.
Home sewing, he added, has
developed into a billion dollar
industry in the nation, and that
Pennsylvania women account for
at least one-tenth of that volume.
Mrs. Ross Metz, Allensville,
state chairman of women’s ac
tivities and director of the con
test, said women sew not only
from a standpoint of thrift, but
also because they find pleasure
and satisfaction in making ap
parel for their own use.

Feed-Grain
Program
Report
A new record number of farms
have signed up to participate in
the 1972 feed grain program and
they have a new record base
acreage included, according to a
preliminary final enrollment
progress report issued by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
The number of farms enrolled
totals 1,764,551 as compared to
the previous record final report
of 1,759,315 signed up for 1971.
The record feed grain base
represented on signed farms
totals 107.4 million acres, 14 per
cent larger than the previous
record of 94 million acres set in
1969. With this base acreage on
participating farms, feed grain
crop production potential in 1972
should remain within bounds and
a reducation in carryover may be
achieved, USDA officials in
dicated. All voluntary additional
set-aside acreage offered by
producers under two options will
be accepted, USDA announced.
The set aside acreage offered
for the 1972 program totals 37
million acres, the largest ever
except for the record 39.5 million
acres of diversion signed up for
the 1970 program.
Of the total feed grain base of
107,352,304 acres on enrolled
farms this year, 72,344,537 acres
are corn base, 21,129,301 acres
represent grain sorghum base,
and 13,878,466 acres are barley
base. The corn base exceeds the
record final total of 72,043,493
acres set in 1971; that for barley
compares with 1969 record final
total of 13,176,056 acres; and the
1972 sorghum base compares
with the 1971 record total of
21,342,356 acres. Barley was not
included in the 1972 program,
feed grain base acreage of farms
listed on registers, but whose
enrollment was not completed in
time for preliminary final report,
totals about 608 thousand acres,
of which corn represents 394
thousand acres; sorghum 54
