There is a time when

There are certain advantages to be gained by centering your farm credit needs at Farm Credit. For
example, if your plans for the year ahead include a new piece of equipment, spring fertilizer and seed,
and perhaps an improvement to your farm home, you can arrange now for a Farm Credit loan to provide
the tgtal amount you will need. You can draw on these funds as you need the money. You will pay no
interest’until the money is actually in use. And then, only on the actual amount in use at any given time.
In addition, by centering all your credit needs at Farm Credit, you will have the convenience of dealing
with one source, the security of knowing cash will be available when needed, plus the cost-saving of
Farm Credit’s reasonable interest charges.
Why not discuss your plans with Farm Credit now Then when the time comes to put them into effect
the necessary funds will be waiting for you.
Contestants are judged not only
on the actual taste and appetizing
appearance of their entries, but
also on originality of the meat cut
and best use of agricultural
products in preparing the dish.
Appearance of barbecue
equipment, manner of displaying
entry and all-over chefing ability
and showmanship accounts for 10
percent of the total score.
Dr. John H. Ziegler, professor
of agriculture at Penn State
University, was last year’s
winner. His winning barbecue
entry was French Bird with Wild
Rice. This pork chop dish com
bined rice, bacon, cheese, cubed
bread and seasonings. Chops are
stuffed ahead of time, then frozen
until wanted. IVfe hours over hot
charcoal produces a tasty work
free meat dish that enhances any
outdoor or indoor picnic.
Last year’s winning recipe,
along with the recipes from
previous winners and current
contestants will be distributed to

less-favored food to a region
where its favorite hardwood trees
are more prevalent.

several counties, 70 percent of the
trees were almost completely
stripped.
The gypsy moth was brought
into this country in 1869 for
scientific experiments, but ac
cidentally escaped. A single 2-
inch caterpillar can eat a square
foot of leaves every 24 hours. In
infested areas the pests annually
attack foliage of trees in forests,
homesites, parks and
recreational areas.
