It seems like a century since
Dwight D. Eisenhower first sought
America’s highest elective office,
with Mamie smiling at his side.
The year was 1952, and our coun
try was vastly different. In fact,
Presidential campaigning was vastly
different.
“Ike", the popular World War II
general, made some key television
appearances. But much of his pre
vote time was given to traveling by
rail, and meeting people face to face.
What was it like? Now you can
find out—you can board the Eisen

St. Peters Village, just off Rt. 23 in
Chester County)—and do it FREE

Penna. Crop Forecosts Down
The October 1 Pennsylvania
seedleaf tobacco crop is forecast
at 23,100,000 pounds - down
1,650,000 pounds from last
month’s forecast and appears to
be a poor year for many tobacco
growers. This year’s low yield at
1400 pounds is the lowest since
1945 when yield dropped to 1283
pounds per acre. Much of this
year’s 16,500 acres for harvest
was hindered by the unfavorable
weather conditions and had to be
topped short. Many fields never
reached full maturity as cool
nights and not enough moisture
prevailed when the reverse would
have been welcomed.
The forecast for potato
production is 5,700,000 per hun
dredweight - down three percent
from last month and 27 per cent
below the 1971 production. Yield
from the 30,000 acres is projected
at 190 per hundredweight per
acre and compares with 35,500
acres and 220 per hundredweight
per acre in 1971.
The U.S. production of all types
of tobacco is forecast at 1,727
million pounds as of October 1, up
one million pounds from a month
earlier and 20 million pounds
above the 1971 crop. An increase
in burley prospects during the
month is primarily responsible
for the larger leaf production.
Yield per acre for all tobacco is
indicated at 2,041 pounds, up
seven pounds from the 1971
average. Differences between the
October 1 forecast and final
estimates in the past decade
averaged 75 million pounds—
ranging from 1 million to 149
million pounds.
Eisenhower silver dollai also
yours without charge.
Here’s how it works:
If you’re currently saving with
us, and receiving the highest bank
interest in America, just come in
and deposit $25 in your account.
Then request your tickets and the
silver dollar.
If you’ve not yet developed the
saving habit, merely open an ac
count with $25. After which you can
claim your ducats and silver piece.
So, before long, plan a trip to this
Eisenhower shrine. You’ll enjoy the
learning experience. And. if nothing
else, your silver dollar will buy
the gasoline.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 21,1972
With potato harvest about two
thirds complete nationally, the
outlook is for a small crop with
yields down considerably from a
year ago. Tuber size ranges from
average to small with ap
proximately 60 percent of the
crop reported to be in the small
category. Soil moisture con
ditions during September were
reported to be dry by two-thirds
of all reporters. Sunburn and
aphid damage appears to have
been more of a problem to this
year’s crop than normal.
Eicotta Cheese
Ricotta cheese is made from
cow’s milk, whole or partly
skimmed or whey from cow’s
milk with whole or skim milk
added. Extension dairy
specialists at Pennsylvania State
University say it may be soft,
moist or even dry and have a
sweet, nut-like flavor. It’s even
used in lasagne-type dishes.
