If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then you should consider having your water tested. In a water testing program conducted by the Twin Valley FFA in cooperation with the Chester County Health Department last year, it was found that over SO percent of home water supplies were con taminated with coliform bacteria. These bacteria are found in the digestive tract of warm blooded animals. Therefore • finding these bacteria in a water supply indicates that water supply has been contaminated with animal (including human) wastes. Ne’edless to say numerous diseases may be spread by this type of con tamination. « r J% According to one American manufacturer of pumps and other water system components, each individual water system HOG PRODUCERS!

But where should you go from here? Twenty years ago it didn't seem possible that you'd achieve as much as you have. But now that you've gotten this far, it's time for new plans. You can't stand still. Yet there was never a greater need for sound judgement, especially where credit is concerned. That's why you should turn first to Farm Credit Service. Every office is staffed with Farm Credit men who appreciate that your financial needs are special. They know there are no routine answers for your very individual problems. They work with you to provide the money and assistance that will help you farm better. Your loan is tailored to fit your unique needs. Talk with your Farm Credit man'. He knows what it took for you to get this far. . .and what it will take to continue moving ahead. Safety should be tested at least once a year. If your water comes from a municipal system, this testing is done regularly, and in most cases this water is protected by chlorination. But when was the last time you had your well or spring water tested? Although you may never have become ill from your water that possibility does exist if it is contaminated with coliform bacteria. Also, as more homes are built around you, each with its own water and sewage system, the chances of contamination are greatly increased. The chances of your water system being contaminated are also af fected by the soil type, rock type, and level of the water table. The FFA Chapter has just completed another testing program for its members and faculty members at TVHS. If you would like to have your water tested, contact either the Chester County Health Department of the FFA Chapter at Twin CREDIT BOXBO-B, LEBANON R.D.4 PHONE 867-4474 Lancaster Farming. Saturday.
