14—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 31, 1975 Know Where the Activities Will Be? Read the Farm Women Calendar. Our 2-in-1 soybean program can make you a champion. This is why we’re recommending a feed & weed program for soybeans It can supply the exact ratios of N-P-K and micronutrients your soils need to fully feed your beans And it provides a convenient carrier for preplant herbicides, taking care of two jobs, accurately, uniformly, in just one quick trip We’re convinced our feed & weed program can do for soybeans what it does for corn. We’d like you to try it We’d like you to grow your best bean crop ever We’ve got the program to do it. Plant Foods JOHN New Holland RDI V\fe can do exactly what another ARCADIAN® dealer did for one state soybean champion He combined his herbicide in a 7-21-21 liquid i made the SLF® way with POLY-N® and did two jobs in a single feed & weed application at 250 lbs per acre His / • winning yield was 67.9 bushels / ; It’s true, soybeans are good / ■ scavengers of leftover fertilizer But if / previous applications have been reduced - in recent years, there’s probably not much residual fertilizer left to scavenge. See Me Now. Z. MARTIN PSU Dean Recreates The spirit of Dr. Even Pugh, first president of the Farmers’ High School and first president of the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania, forerunner of Penn State, visited the campus on Thursday. The “visit” was a recreation of a talk given by Dr. Pugh before the Cumberland County Agricultural Society in 1860. Growing Degree Days Growing degree days starting April 1 at Penn State’s Southeast Research Center in Landisville totalled 839 as of May 26 for 40-degree crops, up 26 degree days from the same date last year. The total for 50-degree crops on that date was 407, up 74 degree days from 1974. Rainfall from April 1 at the research farm totalled 8.08- inches on May 26, up 1.18- inch from the same date last year. Across the state, fanners found mid-summer weather invading the state last week (May 19-26) with heat, humidity and haze. Tem peratures were quite uniform around the Keystone State, with af ternoon readings in the upper 70’s in the cooler mountain sections, and in the mid 80’s to low 90’s elsewhere. Weekly temperatures averaged 7 to 11 degrees above normal across the state except 14-16 above normal near Lake Erie. Showers and thunderstorms were scattered around the Commonwealth, and at least a few were reported each day except Monday, May 19. As usual with summertime showers, amounts varied widely. Some areas reported only a trace while a few localities measured between one and 1.5 inches. Heaviest amounts fell in the Central Mountains. Phone 717-354-5848 Recreating the 1860 scene was Dr. Jerome K. Pasto, Associate Dean of the College of Agriculture. The occasion in the HUB Assembly Room came during a meeting of delegates to elect university trustees. ... A 20 minute slide presentation of the life of Evan Pugh preceded the lecture. The narration was presented by James E. Van Horn, assistant professor of child development ex tension. „ . In his 1860 talk, Dr. Pugh described the importance of science to agriculture. He also contemplated the prospects of success for the Institution, then only 1 year old. In his portrayal. Dr. Pasto reduced the original two-hour speech to 20 minutes - selecting whole phrases and sentences to preserve the continuity of Dr. Pugh’s thought. “I have visited all the agricultural schools of importance in Europe, have examined their system of instruction, and con templated with them their prospects, and am prepared to say, that if we cannot institute a more complete and thorough theoretical and practical course of in struction at the ‘Farm School’ than any of them embrace, we will not have done justice to our sub ject,” Dr. Pugh affirmed. Dr. Pasto said the por trayal presents “an authentic glimpse of the origin of Penn State and of the man who set the OUR FINEST SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT • Rugged, fast cutting ■ the choice of professional tree men. • 14” Sprocket nose bar cuts up to 21% faster than conventional solid nose bar - cuts an 8" log in seconds. • Powerful 2 cu. in. engine handle tough cutting chores. • Automatically oils its own bar and chain as you cut for longer wear, greater economy. $169« WENGER S SPECIALS BALER TWINE 40 lb. bale 9000 ft. *27.19 0,5000° mIWELDINB TORCH *44.95 Vw m guSL , euy m« wo* to weWl tiku ml} mimrtij to luml soud;:: PATENTED Hie rmluthmary SOLID r?MI£ wilding torch IDEAL FOR... customizing or repairing automobiles, cycles, go-carts, etc ■ machinery repair ■ plumbing repair ■ field construction ■ metal sculpture ■ farm tool repair ■ garden tool repair ■ wrought iron work ■ rescue work ■ hobby work SAFE-stable Solidox pellets • SIMPLE TO OPERATE- single valve control • ECONOMICAL no expensive cylinders • PORTABLE onIy 7 pounds KIT INCLUDES: Torch, propane, pellets, braze rods, glasses, lighter, guarantee Founder’s 1860 Talk ’University on it* coune of excellence.’’ The lecture is designed to be presented to audiences such as alumni groups, conferences, and Extension meetings. "No branch of human industry presents more facts than does that of agriculture,” Dr. Pugh stated. “In none are the facts so varied, and in none do they Involve more profound principles, and in none will they require for their BICYCLES *RI MEN’S 10-Speed 2-Sizes 6 O development more patient thought, close observation and accurate experiment " The Penn State dean said he had long wanted to recreate a lecture by Dr Pugh With the nation’, bicentennial coming up hr decided to try It. The first presentation took place a month ago for a group of faculty and staff member, planning bicentennial events within the College of Agriculture.
