PROFITS!
Here’s a sure way to build extra profits in your hog operation. Knock
out two major causes of high production costs ... worms and
disease-causing germs.
Worm hogs with TRAMiSOL in feed!
TRAMISOL levamisole is all the wormer you will ever need. It knocks
out all major species of stomach, intestinal and lungworms. No
other wormer hits all three types.
Keep hogs healthy with feeds containing AUREO S* P 250.
AUREO S* P 250 aids in the prevention of bacterial enteritis (scours)
and cervical abscesses. Helps maintain weight gains in pigs with
atrophic rhinitis. Improve weight gains and feed efficiency in pigs
up to 75 pounds.
This season use the WORM’N GERM Program for bigger hog profits.
See your feed supplier for details on this profit-making program.

Week and in many ways 4-H has
“gotten it together” by involving
rural and urban boys and girls, of
all racial economic and social
backgrounds, from ages eight
through 19 in educational
programs.
4-H members “learn by doing”.
They get involved in club projects
from clothing construction to

Celebration
veterinary science, livestock,
and dairy to babysitting and
baking. There are over 160
projects from which 4-H’ers
choose.
4-H members learn more than
skills. They learn to be better
citizens and leaders through
educational programs sponsored
by the Cooperative Extension
Service and Penn State
University. In 1973, Lancaster
County 4-H’ers have participated
in State Leadership Congress, 4-
H State Days, judging events,
Public Speaking and demon
stration contests, plus interstate

One-Man Farm
Can Be Efficient
When fully mechanized, the
one-man farm can be as efficient
as any when it reaches an “op
timum” size in various areas
across the country, according to
a study by U. S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) economists.
Thereafter, enlarging the farm
does not reduce unit costs of
production, the study found.
However, the most efficient
one-man farm is usually larger,
needs more capital, and requires
more managerial talent than is
found on most one-man farms
today in the United States, says
the report from USDA’s
Economic Research Service
(ERS). Expansion to at least the
optimum one-man size makes for
greater economy of operation,
and better use of the operator’s
time and equipment.
Farms larger than the one-man
size may have some minor
purchasing and selling ad
vantages, but the main incentive
is to boost output for a larger
total income, according to the
report.
The optimum one-man farm,
for study purposes, was con
sidered to have the maximum
acreage in crops that a man and
his machines could plant,
cultivate, and harvest seasonally
or annually. For example, if a
man can harvest 500 acres,
cultivate 400, but only plant 300
acres of a crop, the effective
optimum is 300 acres.
The study identified several
technically optimum one-man
units: California cotton, 400
acres; Delta cotton-soybeans, 600
acres; Indiana corn-soybeans, *
800 acres; Kansas wheat-grain
sorghum, I,9soacres; Northwest
cattle, 5,900 acres.
Specialized crop farms, even
those that are technically op
timum, may not employ the
operator full time, ERS states. In
cush instances, a combination of
farm and nonfarm activities
might be considered.

Farm,” ERS-519, is available

Review Homeowners Insurance
Is your home adequately in
sured’ Chances are it’s not A
survey by an insurance company
reveals that over half of all single
family homeowners don’t carry
enough insurance to protect their
property fully
Inflation is a common cause of
inadequate coverage. A house ful
ly insured ten years ago maynow
be insured for only half its value
unless the amount of insurance
has been increased.
The value of your home also
may have increased if you’ve
made home improvements When
you add a room, remodel or even
panel an existing room, it’s wise
to increase your insurance policy
Then too, replacement costs have
increased with changes in supply
and rising labor prices.
In any case, it’s recommended
that insurance coverage equal the
market value of your home minus
the value of the lot and and the
foundation A good rule of thumb
is to have coverage for no less
than 80 percent of the replace
ment cost. Many insurance com
panies offer homeowner’s policies
with a built-in inflation guard pro
vision that increases coverage at
regular intervals.
