Being built in cooperation with Penn- Jersey Harvestore of New Holland, the unit will feature a flushing and separation system. Much of the water used is to be recycled, while the remains will be stored in a Sluirystore. In addition, extensive research is to be Manure from the 480-sow swine facility will be flushed through this area and into the Slurrystore. The nutrient residues of the hog manure will be used for experimental recycling in animal feeds. Innovative methods of soil injections will also be tried. 3d SEEING IS BELIEVING!

The nursery und, which is not likely to be completed until Spring, features a heated concrete floor. Warmth will be provided by way of pipes carrying hot water. The feeder pig production unit is to have both educational and business values. The 480-sow operation is the cooperative effort between the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn-Jersey Harvestore, A REAL BENEFIT TO GREENHOUSES FOR PLANT GROWTH and a group of Lancaster County farmers. The idea behind the venture is to provide veterinary students at the University of Penn sylvania with a training ground for practices in volving swine, while sup plying the investors with a source of feeder pigs. According to Dr. Clifton Bade, who is an associate professor of nutrition in the Department of Clinical Studies of the Veterinary School at the University of Pennsylvania, the facility is not designed for research. However, he has indicated that research proposals may be forthcomig if they are deemed to be of benefit to all parties involved. The manure, as was mentioned earlier, will definitely be used in research work. The object of the flushing and ASGROW QUALITY SOYBEAN SEED a Germination - Asgrow uses sand in stead of paper towels or blotters because sand more nearly represents field conditions. SEED VIGOR - Asgrow conducts 3 separate tests on all seed. A - TZ TESTS - Chemical tests to detect seed injury. B - COLD TEST - Seed is planted in unsterilized soil at 50° for 7 days then to warm soil to deter mine germination percentage. C - ACCLERATED AGING TEST - It involves placing seed under severely high temperatures and moisture conditions then following with a standard warm germination test. These are more tests,than that con ducted by competition plus our two modern plants suppling the East feature special equipment to handle and process Asgrow Soybean Seed with the same care that has made Asgrow Vegetable seed synonomus with quali ty. Why do we go this extra step? So that when you open your first bag of Asgrow Soybean Seed you will say “this is as beautiful a bag of soybean seed as I've ever seen” and after you plant and harvest your soybean crop you can say “this is as good a soybean crop as I’ve ever had.” PENNA.
