The friendly folks at Lancaster
Ford believe everyone is tired of
hearing and reading about bad
news, so we have adopted a
Good News Girl. We think when
you look at her big smile you will
start to feel better already.
Janie represents all the good
things in life wholesomeness,
purity, sincerity and joy. You will
never hear anything but good

you will keep an eye out for her

per acre than the popular
variety Redcoat. It has good
resistance to the major
diseases - mildew, loose
smut, and septoria blight. It
has some resistance to
Hessian fly, enough to avoid
severe damage.
This new wheat is referred
to as W 7901, its selection
number. W 7901 also has two
other forms of important
disease resistance. It has
partial resistance to the
Wheat Spindle Streak
Mosaic. As yet it is the most
resistant variety observed.
The disease accounted for
poor wheat yields in 1968 and
1973 in Pennsylvania. W 7901
also resists grazing by deer.
Since it is bearded, deer will
not eat the heads.
Several new stiff-strawed
lines of barley with high
yields and good winter
hardiness will be shown.
Plots will show virtual
break-throughs in breeding
winter barley. Some of the
types are beardless like
Pennrad. However, they
stand up where Pennrad
falls down from stalk rot.
Feed quality and potential
malting qualities of barley
will be discussed.
Cultural methods and
planting techniques for
wheat and barley will be
demonstrated. The object
will be to show farmers how
Consumers' Corner
USED CARS
Prior to purchasing a used car
it might be wise to ask yourself
some of the following questions
Have you studied the classified
ads to learn the used car market"'
What are price levels for various
makes and models in vour area" 7
What s available and what s scar
ce"’ How much more must vou
pav for cars in top condition or
with particular optional features"’
Do vou know enough about cars
to buv from a private seller 9
Would vou be better off buv mg
from a new car dealer who gives
limited warranties on his used
cars ’
Does the car look good’ Did
\ou check tor dents scratches
rust spots missing trim ’
Is the seller willing to give \ou
a letter guaranteeing that the
odometer mileage is correct ’
Federal law now requires this
written statement It is illegal to
turn back odometers
to produce maximum yields
through proper management
and cu(tural practices.
Research to develop oat
varieties with improved
yield, standing ability,
disease resistance, and feed
grain quality will be
demonstrated. Twenty
different varieties will be
shown from a spring oat
preformance test as grown
at three locations in Penn
sylvania. This involves
cooperative research bet
ween personnel at Penn
State and the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In addition, over 40 oat
varieties will be shown in
two tests that are grown on a
national basis. Several of
these varieties are new
releases from mid-western
states. They may eventually
be recommended for Penn
sylvania.
Plant breeders will discuss
oat production problems that
may be solved or reduced by
developing varieties with
short and stiff straw, im
proved disease resistance,
and better grain quality.
In addition, field-scale
demonstration plantings will
be displayed of the varieties
Clintford, Otee, Noble, Stout,
Dal, Orbit, Astro, Mariner,
and Pennfield. Astro and
Otee were first recom
mended for 1975 and Noble
and Dal will be recom
mended for 1976. Otee and
Dal have about 2 per cent
higher grain protein than
other recommended
varieties. Specialists will be
on hand to discuss charac-
If you're relying more
on grain silage
Feed Bovotone 12-D
If you're like most cattlemen, you'll be
counting on silage this year to keep feed
costs down. But keep in mind, grain and
silage rations are generally low in major
minerals and trace minerals making
proper supplementation a must.
That’s why it’s more important than
ever to feed Bovotone 12-D from
Vigortone. Bovotone 12-D makes up for
nutritional deficiencies present when
high levels of silage are fed, promotes
better feed conversion and maintains
maximum feed intake. During periods of
stress, feed Bovotone 12-D + A and D.
If you’re relying more on silage this
year, feed Bovotone 12-D. It’s safe,
economical and easy to use.

Vigortone pre-mix meter for
automated feed handling systems
Vigortone has a new metering device that
is reliable, accurate and simple to install.
Just set the timer and calibrate the meter
for the desired amount of pre-mix per
minute. Automatically, your pre-mix is
metered into your grain, silage or
hayiage at the required levels.
