Warren Archibald, District Conservationist for the Soil Conservation Ser vice (SCS) in Lancaster County commented that the monies will be used to identify and map the im portant farmland. He mentioned that they hope to be able to not only map where these soils occur in the county, but also who the owners of the land are. Archibald felt that this information could eventually be used if the deed restriction proposal is adopted. He hopes that the monies can be used to digitize the soil information of the county so /that the com We Specialize In Aerial Work Using Our Twin Bucket Boom Truck 7 / ELECTRICAL \ / Extends j CONTRACTING \ ’Wv 55 Ft f Specializing In \ \ J AGRICULTURAL J WIRING j Also Residential, Industrial J And Commercial Work I - Free Estimates ,/ We Have ■’ofes In Stock 4 25 30 35 &45 A proud engineering Formula DX tractors are here Four exciting new • . . -i . - models from Deutz known for years as a standard of aCniGVGment Ul3.t COUld engineering excellence Turbocharged DX! 160 and DX 4.u* I.: 14 ° rated 140 and 131 PTO hp DX 110 rated 100 PTO 01131106 your tracxor-mimung hp And the new five cylinder DX 90 rated 84 PTO hp 4._ - Each a product of formula engineering Each lOx years to COUIG- delivenng new technology ★ TOTAL HYDKAULIC SYSTEM CAPACITY IS 40.5 GALLONS ★ Mastei Multi 7 steps interior protect!

Representatives from the County Planning Com mission will also be in at tendance. This cooperative effort will hopefully eliminate the duplication of efforts by similar agencies.

The study will inventory 170 random sample plots, and once completed will provide accurate information on the economic, social, and land use resources in Lancaster County. The Lancaster County C. M.

It was obvious Wohlson was prepared, because he sat down firmly, placed his head in the cow’s flank, grabbed the bucket and pulled strongly. He stated, “Someone told me to put my head in.” He elicited strong, steady streams of milk, but his technique was not refined in time to get enough volume to overcome Miss Penn sylvania’s lead.
