Processor squeezed New Jersey’s Seabrook Farms announced earlier this month they plan to end processing of vegetables in the Garden State. This big food processing and growing operation blames high costs in the state for the need to close the operation. Higher fringe benefits in labor contracts, higher farm prices for vegetables and the Department of En vironmental Protection’s more stringent en vironmental requirements are all being blamed for this company’s need to move.

Jan. 17,1976 Tadpoles filter pond UNIVERSITY PARK - The balance of nature in fresh water ponds can teeter on a tadpole, according to a Penn Stale biologist Dr Dianne B Seale, research associate in the Department of Biology, has discovered that polliwogs play a pivotal role in keeping ponds alive, clean, and young. Working below the pond’s surface like miniature filtration systems, the tadpoles suck up scum formed be algae, bactena, and pond debris, she says. While some of it passes through them virtually unchanged, most gets trapped in their wastes and a smaller quantity nourishes the tadpoles and leaves the pond when they do - as frogs, Dr. Seale explains. In some ponds, without the tadpoles to tip the balance she adds, the scum could take over. The pond would soon lose oxygen needed for other animals and age rapidly. The tadpoles’ capacity to process algae seems very large, Dr. Seale notes. She found that virtually all of the algae in a one acre pond passed through its tadpole population about once a day. Whether the trip is the major factor affecting the control of algae or whether the tadpoles also excrete an algal inhibitor is something Dr. Seale is now trying to find out with Dr. Frederick Balzac in daiiying.

Meanwhile, Dr. Seale says,” if you have frogs breeding m your pond - leave them alone. They’ll eat mosquitos and keep the nuisance algae down." In a study published in 1971, one observer suggested that factors introduced into the environment by man had caused a “50 percent decline in the frog population of the United States during the past ten years.” Dr. Seale cites those fin dings as evidence of a crisis situation and says, “un fortunately, we are just beginning to understand the important role these animals play in the acquatic com munity. Hopefully, we’ll know the whole story before it’s too late.” Student becomes auctioneer John D.

Konhaus turkeys prized HARRISBURG Except for two entries by Funk Brothers, Inc., of Washington Boro, Paul Konhaus made a clean sweep in turkey carcass judging at the Farm Show recently. The Cumberland County turkey farmer showed both the champion and reserve champion turkey carcass and the best dressed turkey display. In addition, his Konhaus Farms toms and hens took every first place except in the medium young hens (12 to 16 lbs.) category, where the Funk Brothers captured first and second.
