Tom Lapp, Gap RD , says he likes the simpleness and compactness of the design
of the system
"It’s pretty simple,” he comments, "as far as getting ready to milk, and wash
up are concerned It's quick and easy Also this 800 gallon round Sunset tank
takes up only about the same space as my old 450 gallon square tank ’’
Tom also says, “the Agway installation and service crews are very efficient, and
after installation, the servicemen were always prompt in handling any question
or problems that came up "
See these men for expert help in designing a milking system
to fit your operation.

away down into the meadow
with them.
There arc also two ducks
that live in the front yard and
no amount of chasing will
keep them away. The one
has a second nest under the
front porch as she somehow
lost her first nine ducklings
in one day on the water.
The flowers are in full
bloom and stand in a regal
manner surrounded by
green,green grass - tiger
lilies, golden glow, roses and
dahlias in abundance. Thank
goodness it will be another
clear hot day just right for
haymaking.
My new kitchen and I are
getting along just fine. It is a
pleasure to freeze vegetables
with a counter between the
sink and stove. Previously
Care of Foods
in Summer
When it’s hot, it’s a special
chore to be the family
purchasing agent. Mothers
and housewives arrive home
with the groceries. It’s easy
to feel bedraggled. Even
with an air conditioned car -
and there are less now with
the energy and gasoline
problems - one can arrive at
home frantically eager for a
place to flop - and for a tall,
cool drink.
Well, do reward yourself.
But be careful. Don’t let that
food sit around too long.
Food manufacturers and
food retailers have worked
hard and well to keep your
food in good shape up to the
tune of your buying it. Now
it’s up to you - and being hot
and tired may tempt you to
let things go.
For Example - milk: its
delicate flavor should never
be subjected to unnecessary
warmth. Only when actually
in use should milk be out of
the refrigerator. So get it in
there quickly when you
arrive home, especially if
you’ve had any delay bet
ween the store and your
kitchen.
Meat and fish, too, must
have this consideration. Do
you ever let them sit around
on the kitchen counter to
long during food
preparation? Fish,
especially, is subject to
deterioration.
Peach hotline
opened
HARRISBURG - Daily
farmgate price information
on fresh market peaches
again is being made
available to growers by the
Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture via its Peach
Market News Service,
Secretary of Agriculture
James A McHale said last
week.
The service, operated by
the Department’s Bureau of
Markets, provides daily
price information on
peaches, pears, primes and
early apples over six radio
stations located in major
peach growing areas of the
state.
Prices are obtained each
morning by Raymond
Reiter, marketing specialist,
from cooperating growers
and shippers in the major
they were on different sides
of the room and I dropped
water across the floor.
The garbage disposal is a
real time saver and so
convenient. I've been asked
what we feed to our pigs now.
We never did feed them
anything but bought feed and
when butchered we only get
a little lard from 225 lb. pig.
At one time the pig pen
was just behind the house
and depending on the
direction of the wind the
smell was atrocious. Now
they are farther back in the
field and as Phillip carries
water to them he counts the
weeks until show time for his
4-H animals and tries to talk
Cindy into doing her share of
the work.

Meats are well protected
against contamination and
heat before you buy them.
Fruits and vegetables are
often flown in, in
refrigerated planes, direct
from their growing areas.
Supermarkets also buy
direct from farmers in your
area when things are in
season. Better stores spray
cool water on vegetables, or
protect freshness with beds
of crushed ice. You should do
no less. Washing fresh
vegetables and fruits is a
must when you get them
home before storing them in
your refrigerator.
Bakery Goods are easier to
handle. Usually they are well
packed and during the hotter
months many bakeries do
not offer custard or cream
filled goods because of their
vulnerability to dangerous
spoilage in the heat. If you
prepare such foods at home,
keep them cool. Also
mayonnaise and similar
dressings. It’s a good idea to
wait to apply dressings to
salads until just before
serving.
One more warning: Since
germs multiply rapidly in
high temperatures, be
especially careful in sum
mer if you have any sort of
infection or a sore on your
hands. Your chance of
passing something on to your
family is much greater. So
be careful.
