Fairs
HARRISBURG - Rep.
Noah W. Wenger, R-
Lancaster, has announced
he has a pamphlet listing the
scheduled fairs in Penn
sylvania for 1978. .
Wenger said the over 100
fairs that are listed are
scheduled from now to the
end of November. The
pamphlet lists the counties,
names of the fairs, and the
head of the event for those
who wish to contact the
organization for additional
information.
Vine care
UNIVERSITY PARK - If
one is looking for some fast
growing shade, try climbing
vines. They’re attractive
and effective and can be
used for shade faster than
any of the trees and shrubs.
James E. Brewer,
associate professor of or
namental horticulture,
points out in his
correspondence course on
Vines, Ground Covers, and
Esapliers, that new and
existing vines need periodic
management to remain
attractive and effective.
These management tips are
given in the course offered
by Penn State.
.The lessons explain the
hardiness, foliage color,
fruiting habits, planting,
general maintenance, and
spray schedules for ap
proximtaely 109 vines and
ground covers. The last

The Republican legislator
said there are fairs
throughout most of the
Commonwealth’s 67 counties
with the majority of them
taking place in August and
September.
“The pamphlet also gives
a map of the state whith the
approximate locations of the
fairs,” Wenger said.
Wenger said to obtain a
pamphlet one should contact
his office, P.O. Box 109,
House of Representatives,
Main Capitol Building,
Harrisburg, Pa., 17120.
tips given
lesson describes the methods
and techniques used in
training trees and shrubs in
a geometrical pattern
against a building, wall or
fence.
Perhaps, with the help of
this course, a person can
eliminate tedious mowing
around trees, close to walls
or down a steep slope by
planting a ground cover. If
the blank side of the garage
needs landscaping, consider
espaliering a plant or shrub
suited to the site and soil.
Perhaps morning glories or
scarlet runner beans would
hide die unsightly storage
shed? These are just a few
suggestions given in this
course to improve home
grounds.
