SOLAIR SYSTEMS WE'RE INTERESTED IN ECOLOGY! With our completely covered lots and a sun roof with an open peak, ram water does not enter the bay area and maximum evaporation of animal liquids is obtained. An “all-drained” floor system is installed and a curbed fence line keeps manure in place to be scraped into a liquid pit or a push-off loading system By preventing manure run-off the surrounding area is not polluted. Yes, since your urban neighbors and government fathers are interested in ecology, we are ready to help you build a system that will put you ahead on the pollution problem. And, low moisture levels in Solair Systems results in less bacteria action and fewer odors. CALEB M. R. D. 1 Drumore Center, Quarryville, Pa.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 18,1972 expanding demand is to develop winter barley with satisfactory malting quality. Malting operations consume 130 million bushels of barley annually If projected needs hold true, the figure will rise to 240 million bushels annually by 1985 Pfeifer and Akyurek, through their research directed at meeting this malt demand, have found that it is possible to develop winter barley through selective breeding The desired quality is attained by selecting pure lines that produce fine-sized kernels In addition, they must have a relatively high amount of soluble protein This knowledge will help plant breeders to develop varieties of winter barley for malt production and thus meet the rising demand The Value of Field Borders Field Borders not only provide cover for wildlife, they also give protection against soil erosion and aid in controlling insects Field borders give wildlife a place to hide provide travel • PAMLINE Phone 548-2116 What’s New In Banking The Federal Reserve has a new plan going into effect early in 1973 to move checks faster within large geographic areas In each of the 12 Federal Reserve areas, computerized check clearing centers are being developed to process checks overnight The transaction record will go back to the depositor’s bank and be subtracted from his account the next day after the check is cashed As a result of this super fast check clearing, depositors will have to be sure they have adequate money already deposited to cover the checks they write An innovation in checks is the picture check - one with a pretty picture of mountains lakes, etc Also, one can now get a close-up unretouched photograph of the account owner on the check These are useful in places where the check writer must establish identification to cash checks They would be most useful in urban areas and with people who move or travel lanes and offer variety in wildlife habitat In lact, natural held borders contain several species of vegetation which provide the variety of iood and cover types the wildlife demands By allowing turnrows and fencerow's to grow up in natural vegetation or by planting held borders, a farmer can hold his soil in place during heavy raim and wind This is true on even a very slight slope Also, research has shown that field borders provide homes lot predators oi insect pests Examples include songbirds spiders and shrews Some helptul insects such as the pray mg mantis, and ceitain species of wasps also destroy insect pests Try A Classified Ad If Pays?
