Invest in Yourself
If the word investment makes
you think of money and growth,
you usually expect a sum of
money put to some growth
producing use to increase the
original amount invested steadily
and rapidly.
But have you thought about the
possibility of investing in your
self? Extension home
management specialists at
Pennsylvania State University
say you can do it by investing in
gnowth-producing activities.
And, if you invest wisely, the
results can be even more
rewarding than bringing about
the growth of sum of money.
There are many ways to invest
in yourself-some quite simple,
others more involved. For

example, the simple act of in
troducing yourself to someone
new in the community gives you
the chance to create a valued new
friendship. And, you may learn
something about your com
munity seeing it through the eyes
of a newcomer. Offering them
your friendship and interest and
helping them feel at ease in a new
place makes both you and your
community grow in stature.
Thinking about a new idea is
another way of increasing your
potential. Be receptive to a new
idea. Some people shut out an
idea because it’s new. Others just
as willingly accept it because it’s
new. Don’t be hasty to discard or
accept new ideas. Think about
the new one first and in the
thinking process you’ll grow.
Agronomy Field Day
Equipment to apply liquid
cattle manure in trenches four
inches deep, as a fertilizer and
anti-pollutant measure, will be
demonstrated June 28 by
agricultural scientists of Penn
sylvania State University. The
occasion will be a field day at the
Rock Springs Agronomy
Research Farm of Penn State,
located three miles west of Pine
Grove Mills, Centre County, on
Route 45.
Last year’s three-day program
at the Rock Springs Research
Center, called Ag Progress Days,
drew 40,000 visitors. Success of
that event encouraged the
agronomy staff to develop this
field day.
The experiment on subsurface
application of liquid manure is
one of several projects studying
the effect of fertilizer nutrients on
the environment of soil and
water. Visitors will see how crop
scientists measure applications
of plant nutrients to avoid
pollution.
Present day farming practices
make cattle manure an unwanted
by-product which can add to the
cost of meat and milk, according
to professor Howard D. Bartlett
and Dr. Lawrence F. Marriott,
Agricultural Experiment Station
scientists heading up certain
studies of “how much manure is
too much.”
Use of liquid cattle manure on
land near urban or suburban
developments sometimes brings
protests and law suits because of
odor. Herds are becoming larger
and this means less acres for
manure disposal in “top
dressing” the soil. These and
other factors require a change in
the traditional use of manure on
the soil surface, Dr. Marriott
stated.

Want to Know
by MARGARET SPADER
Director of Consumer Affairs
National Association of Manufacturers
What should a room air con
ditioner warranty cover?
Before you buy the appli
ance, find out if the warranty
covers both parts and labor,
for how long and who must
do the repair work. Most
companies will pay for de
fective parts and the labor
to repair or replace them dur
ing the first year. If the sealed
refrigeration system is found
defective during the first five
years, the company will usu
ally repair or replace any part
found defective. If there are
conditions in the warranty
you don’t understand, inquire
about them, particularly in
regard to what the company
will pay for and what the
owner is expected to pay.
We transferred a room air
conditioner from the living
room to a small bedroom. It
worked perfectly until moved.
The bedroom is far too cold
and uncomfortable now. What
causes this?
The size of a room affects
the operation of an air con
ditioner. If the appliance is
too large, it pulls down the
temperature of the room too
quickly and turns itself off
before removing moisture
from the air. This causes a
clammy feeling in the room.

Liquid dairy manure was
applied to plots at 150 and 300 ton
rates per acre in August of 1970.
These rates added about 750 and
1,500 pounds of total nitrogen to
the soil. Equipment to sample
soil water for amounts of nitrate
found that some surplus nitrogen
moved out of the plant rooting
zone. Dr. Marriott and associates
believe the loss of nitrogen has
not polluted water, especially at
the 150 ton rate of application.
Two other experiements are
evaluating movement of nitrate
nitrogen in fields of corn and tall
fescue. These studies are headed
up by Dr. Albert S. Hunter and
associates. This time the nitrogen
is applied as urea. As with the
liquid manure studies, suction
lysimeters sample nitrate
nutrients in the soil at different
depths.
Thus far, concentrations of
nitrate-nitrogen at 12, 24, and 48
inches have been very much
lower in tall grass plots than
among corn plots receiving
identical applications. Even at
400 pounds per acre rates in tall
grass plots, the nitrogen level in
groundwater was no greater than
where no nitrogen was applied.

My family tells me we are
handling 110 cows easier than
60. The same acres of high
moisture corn will last four
months longer than dry corn.
Our butterfat test is up .2%
and milk is up 2,000 lbs. per
cow. Before our new set-up,
we produced s3o,ooo.ooworth
