Conservancy Acquires
Tract of Land
First
The Lancaster County
Conservancy got its first
land last Friday, a two-acre
gift from a Millersville RDI
landscape architect.
Mr. and Mrs. Warren H.
Boyer gave the deed to the
conservancy for the property
where the Little Conestoga
Creek babbles under Walnut
Hill Road.
The Conservancy is per
mitted by law to acquire land
and set it aside for open
space and preservation
purposes.
Although the organization
has its sights set on buying
Chickies Rock, along the
Susquehanna River, it has
made no purchases yet. The
gift from the Boyers
represents the Con
Dear Livestock Farmer;
Dr. Cloy Knodt tells us that a
ton of good quality alfalfa
haylage containing 40%
moisture and 20% crude protein
on a dry matter basis can be an
excellent source of protein and
considerable economic value.
Such haylage contains enough
crude protein to equal that of
545 lbs. of 44% protein soybean
meal which would cost $54.50
($200.00 per ton) or $65.40
($240.00 per ton). Therefore,
alfalfa haylage can easily be
worth $5O to $65 per ton |ust for
crude protein value as
compared to buying soybean
meal.

“This two acres,” Mrs.
Boyer said Friday night,
“would never have been any
use to anyone. You could
never put a building on it.
But it is very picturesque,
and people might as well
enjoy it.”
She explained that her
