program expands
HARRISBURG, Pa* -
Agriculture Secretary Kent
D. Shelhamerhas announced
the expansion of the
Governor’s Anti-Inflationary
Seed and Garden Program
for the 1977 growing season.
Letters outlining the
availability of seeds, garden
plots, and technical advice
have gone out from his office
to schools and Parent
Teacher Associations in
Pennsylvania, Shelhamer,
said.
The expansion effort was
undertaken in cooperation
with the State Department of
Education through
discussions with Acting
Secretary of Education
Robert Hendershot, declared
Shelhamer. In all, all, letters
went to 4604 schools, as well
rs to 1500 Parent Teacher
Associations.
The letters stressed
potential savings to families
through correct usage of
seeds, fertilizer and
pesticides. Shelhamer said a
savings of up to $250 was
possible for the average
Pennsylvania family par
ticipating in the program.
The Agriculture Secretary
also said that personnel from
his department’s Bureau of
Plant Industry would furnish
information on en
vironmentally safe and
agriculturally sound
practices in the use of
pesticides to those taking
part jn this year’s program.

Shelhamer indicated that
response from students,
faculty members, and PTA
members has been “ex
cellent and should bring / the
sale of seed packets this year
to the highest point since the
program began in 1975”.
Under the program
guidelines, Pennsylvanians
may purchase seed packets
containing ten varieties of
vegetables through the
Department of Agriculture
at substantial savings over
commercial prices, said
Shelhammer. He added that
in some cases, land at state
institutions may be made
available for use by gar
deners at no cost.
Shelhamer cited the hard
Winter of 1977 as reason
enough for more Penn
sylvanians to take an in
terest in anti-inflation
gardening. He also praised
the Department of
Education and Acting
Secretary Hendershot for
“responding quickly and
effectively in our
cooperative effort to make
the Governor’s program
more wide-reaching and
beneficial to Commonwealth
residents”

Apiculturist takes African bee lightly
By LAUREL SCHAEFFER
Berks County Reporter
WERNERSVILLE, Pa. -
With Spring having arrived,
the presence of honey bees
will become more evident,
and with this" there will
probably be more concern
about the often publicized
African bee (A. adansonii).
Walter Bucks, part-time
apiculturist with 80 hives,
feels this concern is un
justified and has been taken
out of proportion. “African
bee semen has been in our
country for approximately 17
years,” he notes. But no one
