The satisfaction that conies
from doing a good job of farming
It’s a great feeling to know that you are the master of
your farmlands . . . that when you treat your soil right,
it will treat you right. Liming is one of the most impor
tant factors in keeping your soil in the highest produc
tive range. By raising the pH from a level below 6.0 to
6.5 or higher, you can expect to harvest .8 more tons 1
of alfalfa per acre, with similar increases for all other
forage and cash crops.

Don Dodson, slices a corn stalk to determine
the location and size of the tassel. A new product
handled by the Organic Plant Food Company,
Lancaster, is reportedly capable of increasing
yields by five or so acres per bushel. The chemical,
a growth stimulant, is being applied, above, on a
field outside of Lititz by George Conover, a crop
duster from Rio Grande, NJ. Researched at
Purdue University for years, the new product,
“Spark," is being used on the East Coast for the
first time this year. Results at university trials and
in commercial use on Midwestern fields last year
lead the manufacturer and distributors to believe
that it is a product here to stay. At any rate, it's up,
up, and away! Application is recommended when
the tassel is Vi to seven inches long. It’s importoant
to note, however, that the tassel in this stage of
development is imbedded within the stalk and
must be found by making incisions such as those
being made, by Dodson.
