We were delayed over an
hour getting through
customs as some people on
our bus apparently had
items of a suspicious nature
and their suitcases were
dumped and they were
questioned. The night we
came back from Canada,
Nancy had a ceramics class,
but even so, she had a long
wait till we arrived.
We attended a church on
Mercer Island and felt the
design was unusual. A lot of
glass was used in this round
building and evergreen trees
were planted very close by,
which gave an illusion of
worshiping in a forest. We
even met Dr. Sanford Leh
man - now, isn’t that a
Lancaster County name.
Logging is a big industry in
Washington and we saw rafts
and rafts of logs on the many
lakes and rivers in the ared.
One day we drove 35 miles
east of Seattle, through the
Snoqualmie Valley, (lots of
Indian names out there). We
arrived at Carnation Farms
where an expansion
program is in progress to put
m free stalls and a milking
parlor for 200 cows. Their
facilities are excellent.
We spent a day at the
Pacific Science Center and
at a Home Show at Seattle
Center. There was simply
too much to see and
remember. However, one
thing we’ll recall for many a
year will be our ride to the
top of the Space Needle at
the speed of 800 feet per
minute. After observing the
city at sunset, we ate a fancy
meal in the revolving
restaurant atop the Space
Needle. As we ate and
watched the twinkling lights
of the city, we were struck
with the great difference
between this kind of life and
our life “down on the farm.”

New Onion Varieties
Spartan Sleeper, a new
hybrid onion developed to
withstand prolonged
storage, and the three in
breds which make this
hybrid have been released
by the U., S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) and the
Michigan Agricultural
Experiment Station, East
Lansing.
The new onions were
developed by USDA’s
Agricultural Research
Service (ARS) and the

Preschooler
“The World of the
Preschooler” will be the
subject of a meeting for all
mothers of young children to
be held April 4, 1974 at
Eastminster Presbyterian
Church, 311 Haines Road,
York. The session will begin
at 9 a.m. and end by 12 noon.
March Seckman, Ass’t

Penn State University
Cooperative Extension
Service says the program
will include discussions on
“Your Preschooler at
Mealtime”, “Reading and
Language Development”,
“Fostering Creativity”, and

Sewing Books
There has been a boom in
books and publications
related to home sewing. This
is simply following the in
creased trend to home
sewing. Unfortunately not all
of these books are worth
your money or necessary for
you as a home sewer. Con
sider if you need to spend a
lot of money on a hard cover
book or if a soft cover book
might be good enough for
your needs. Perhaps it’s
human nature to assume
that if you pay ten dollars for
something, it is better than
something free. The ex
pensive book may have
prettier pictures, a hand
some cover, and better
paper but the information is
not always complete or
reliable.
Since many of the most
expensive books are sold by
mail order, be sure you have
the option of returning them
if you aren’t satisfied with
them. Then if you do order
one, or a set, also be sure to
examine them on arrival so
that you can return in the
allotted time if they don’t
live up to your expectations.
It is all too easy to let the
time go by thinking it’s too
much trouble to return the
product. But, remember it’s
your hard earned money
that’s wasted, if you keep an
unsatisfactory product.
Keep in mind that much
information is available in
pattern directions, free and
inexpensive leaflets and
booklets in stores and news
counters. When buying a
book or booklet from a store
or news stand take the time
and effort to look and see if
the information you’re
looking for is covered and in
a way that you can un
derstand.

season and give growers and
shippers more flexibility in
supplying late export and
processing markets.
The three inbreds which
make Spartan Sleeper (MSU
1459, MSU 2935 and MSU
4535) are being released for
use in the production of long
day, long-storage onion
varieties. Both MSU 1459 and
MSU 2935 are very hard,
high globe shaped and have
light yellow-brown scales.
The seed stalks of MSU 1459
are not erect enough to be
acceptable in seed
production, making it
necessary that it be used as a
pollen parent. MSU 4535 is a
dark, very hard, globe
shaped selection out of
Trapp’s Downing Yellow
Globe.
Seed of the three inbreds,
produced under screen
isolation, will be distributed
to hybrid onion seed
producers upon request.
Limited amounts of Spartan
Sleeper seed will also be
available for the 1974
planting season. Address
requests to: Grant Vest,
Department of Horticluture,
Michigan State University,
East Lansing, Mich, 48824.
ARS has no seed for
distribution.
