Pa 2803 has excellent stalk strength and is a superior producer of both grain and silage. Pa 2903 is similar to Pa 290 in height and has good resistance to leaf blights. This hybrid was developed by Dr. Melvin W. Johnson, com breeder at Penn State. The second new field com is Pa 2944, a high yielding hybrid with excellent stalk strength. Also developed for areas with short growing seasons. Pa 2944 ranges between Pa 212 and Pa 290 in plant and ear height and has shown good resistance to yellow leaf blight. This hybrid was also developed by Dr. Johnson at Penn State. Hart wheat is a bearded, soft red winter wheat that was released jointly by the Pennsylvania and Missouri Agricultural Experiment Stations. Hart wheat matures relatively early, according to Dr. Robert P. Pfeifer, small grains breeder at Penn State. Seed should be available for farmers to plant this Fall.

Hart gives high yields per bushel and is superior to Abe and Arthur 71 varieties in straw strength. Modest amounts of seed should be available for ARC alfalfa, developed by U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers. ARC is a vigorous, high-yielding alfalfa variety that is very resistant to anthracnose and the pea aphid. This variety also has greater resistance to bacterial wilt than the variety Team. It is also somewhat more resistant to the alfalfa weevil than Team. ARC alfalfa was developed and released to help solve problems associated with the disease anthracnose in southern Pennsylvania and states in the south. It was released jointly by U.S.D.A. personnel and Agricultural Experiment Station scientists in Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia. Lathco flatpea and Tioga deertongue grass were released as conservation cover plants. Lathco flatpea is useful on old logging roads, transmission lines Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 16,1977 —125 Trees make ideal windbreaks Now is the time to plan to plant trees for windbreak, reminds Paul N. Reber, Montgomery County Agricultural Extension Agent. Trees can be ordered from one of the private com mercial tree nurseries in Pennsylvania and planted now. Planting in May is not as successful because weather conditions are often too dry and also the small trees have begun their growth process. A windbreak of evergreen trees can be a great asset in protecting homes, out buildings, and livestock from cold winter winds and snow. When four or more rows of trees are used, they also have a cooling effect during hot Summer days. Another advantage is that such a/windbreak will act as a noise barrier if the home is and pipelines, roadbanks, and mine spoil banks. The two conservation cover crops were released jointly by the Soil Conservation Service of the U.S.D.A. and the Pennsylvania and New York Agricultural Experiment Stations. Tioga deertongue grass is highly tolerant of acid soils and toxicity from aluminum and manganese. Its greatest use will be to help revegetate add spoil banks and refuse banks, Dr. McKee said.

A well planned and well kept windbreak always adds to the attractiveness of the home or farm. The effective windbreak must be located properly so that it is at right angles to the prevailing wind direction. It should be approximately 100 feet from the home or buildings if possible. Research has shown maximum wind and snow reduction is at a distance roughly four times the height of the windbreak, explains Reber. With proper care the core trees will grow to 15 feet or more in the first 10 years. Risk assumed WASHINGTON.-The U,S. Department of Agriculture recently an nounced that, effective July 1, the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) will assume the loss from fire, windstorm and other causes now covered fay casualty insurance on commodities owned by the government and stored commingled in commercial storage elevators.
