Spot High School by Ford
Motor Company’s Tractor

"WE REFUSE TO
PARTICIPATE IN
THE RECESSION"
Obviously, all of us can be hurt badly by the
recession if it is permitted to continue. When we
say we refuse to participate in it, we mean that
in conducting the operation of our business we
will not go along with the "Nervous Nelly" ap
proach, and cut advertising, sales help and
purchases. We have, indeed, increased all three.
“Recession" is nothing but a National state of
mind. When people think things are going poorly,
they squirrel their money away, don’t spend it,
and things do get bad. If we can encourage
others to act boldly and with confidence in our
business, not only will we sell more equipment,
but the slump will end.
We can count on little from our politicians, but
the spirit which made America great is still
prevalant among the popie in general and
American business in particular. If others will
join us in our fight, our efforts can mushroom
and we can beat this thing.

Richmond, Va., and Allen H.
Matz, president of Allen H.

“we are very pleased to
assist in making this
equipment available to
Garden Spot High School.”
Selection of Honorary

on a score card of
achievement which includes
years of service, the number
of award-winning FFA
members developed,
number of members
established in farming and

Soil Survey Conducted
Soil technologists at The
Pennsylvania State
University have mapped the
soil characteristics of more
than 87 per cent of the state •
45 of Pennsylvania's 67
counties - in a project that
has been under way since
1957.
The major aim of the
project is to characterize
soils to be found in the state
in terms of location and
description, and physical,
chemical, and mineralogical
analyses. Interpretations
are then drawn as to the
suitability of the soil for
different land uses.
The project, directed by
Dr. Roy P. Matelski,
achievements posted by the
local TEA chapter served as
advisor, and community
service accomplishments.
A total of 219 Ford tractor
power trains-worth more
than $1,253,600- was donated
to educational institutions in
1973, bringing the total
donations of Ford tractor
components since 1961 to
1,996, worth more than
$8,744,000.
The power train program
is one of several Ford
agricultural assistance
programs carried on to
further the knowledge and
development of the industry.
Others are the annual Ford
Farm Efficiency Awards
program, the Educational
Equipment Leasing
Program, and donations of
the Ford Almanac to
vocational evening classes
attended by approximately
250,000 full-time commercial
farmers.

Department of En

recently awarded a grant of
$123,250 to continue the
project.
Initial soil mapping of the
entire state is expected to be
completed by 1980. Work has
already begun, however, on
updating results and
remaping areas covered m
earlier surveys.
According to Dr. Matelski,
the survey is now used
primarily by urban and
suburban developers, as it is
especially suited for
engineering uses. In-

Samples for the survey are
obtained by digging pits, 8
feet wide by 12 feet long,
from the topsoil down to
bedrock. Ten to 16 pits are
dug m each county. The
locations are selected to give
a variety od samples from
cultivated fields, pastures,
