Date Set for Farmers to
Certify Set-Aside
All 1972 wheat and feed grain
set-aside program participants
are requested to designate the
location of set-aside acreage on
their farms by June 15, 1972,
according to Fred G.
Seldomridge, chairman of
Lancaster County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Committee (ASC).
Set-aside program participants
are also required to certify
acreage of wheat, corn, grain
sorghum, and barley being
produced in 1972. Program rules
have changed to allow par
ticipants to estimate the acreage
Egg Promotion, Production
Membership in the Lancaster
County Poultry Association rose
.to 242 members this month,
which is 72 more than last year.
This is the highest membership
has been in the past six or seven
years, according to a report read
at an Association board of
directors meeeting this week at
the Farm and Home Center,
Lancaster.
Other topics discussed were the
Association’s annual banquet and
the Poultry Queen contest.
Promoting eggs to consumers
was the topic that took the largest
share of the evening’s discussion.
Egg prices ran a close second.
President Vernon Leininger
said that he felt the biggest
problem in promoting eggs was
combating the influence groups
bent on getting eggs out of the
public’s eating habits. Leininger
said that associations and even
doctors are too often guilty of
disseminating slanted news and
misinformed opinion.
According to Harold Esben
shade, promotion isn’t the real
problem. If producers are suc
cessful in getting people to eat
more eggs, then poultrymen will
of crops not planted on the date of
certification. However; acreages
reported should be as accurate as
possible, the chairman added.
Most program participants
have copies of aerial
photography showing their farm
and fields. These photo copies
have been supplied by ASCS and
have the acreage for each field
listed in most instances. Par
ticipants can improve accuracy
of set-aside certification by
marking the set-aside area on
their photocopy and taking it to
the ASCS office with them when
certifying set-aside and crop
acreages.
Discussed at Poultry Meet
only produce more and even
tually over-produce. Price
erosion would inevitably result,
Esbenshade said, and he feels
that more work should be done to
limit production.
Another board member pointed
In a recent 12 month period 9,000,000 pigs in the

FOLKS ARE FINDING OUT that Purina starters truly give pigs
the fast, right start hogmen want and look for.
LOADED WITH POWER. Purina pig starters give baby pigs quick
energy, fast growth, extra disease protection 4.. and they sup
ply vita! nutrients the sow's milk may lack.
EXTRA PALATABLE. Most important of all, pigs really go for
Purina starters. They become enthusiastic “early, eager eaters”.
PURINA STARTERS—Baby Pig Chow, Early Weaning Chow, and
Pig Startena—offer pigs “built-in” livability and grow power
to get them off to a fast, thrifty start.

Acreages
County chairman Seldomridge
says farmers-should stop at the
ASCS office as soon as possible
and report their acreage even
though they are not through
planting. It is necessary to report
acreage now so that program
payments may be made in July
and August of 1972.
Again, the final date for set
aside program participants to
Report acres is June 15.
