ClS—bnoster Famring, Saturday, February 23,1980 ¥ 1 ft X PRACTICE DRIVING TO USE LESS GASOLINE The hard reality that gasoline has been less available and everyone will have to pay more for it is evident. Under these cir cumstances, long distance vacation trips may have to take a back seat to the “close at home” vacation tnp. Whether in an automobile, towing a trailer, or driving a motor home, it makes sense to adopt fuel-conserving driving habits. The Federal Energy Administration has compiled some facts on ways we can save fuel while driving. While based on passenger car driving, the ideas apply equally well to motor homes or when towing an RV. According to the FEA, the following suggestions should help conserve fuel; * Drive slower. The faster you drive, the more the wind resistance boosts fuel consumption. A five-mph slow-down produces a seven percent increase m fuel economy over the 55 mph driver. This saving should be even better for an RV because the frontal area, and consequent wind resistance is much greater. * Accelerate gently. Flooring the pedal after a stop mcreases fuel con sumption by as much as two miles a gallon. * Maintain a steady speed. A five mph variation can reduce your milage by 1.3 miles per gallon. If you have cruise control, use it for all highway driving. * Avoid idling your motor. If stuck in traffic, shut off the motor The average American car consumes a cupful of gasoline every six minutes when idling.

By Susan Doyle Lancaster Home Economist less gasoline to restart the motor than to idle it. • Don’t carry unnecessary weight For each additional 100 pounds of weight you carry, fuel consumption increases by 0.2 miles per gallon. Avoid carrying extra clothes, food, and equip ment. *Make sure your wheels are properly aligned. An improper front-wheel toe-in alignment can increase fuel consumption by 0.3 miles per gallon. * Check tire pressure monthly. If you drive un dennflated tires, it can cost as much as one mile per gallon. Radial tires can improve fuel economy as much as one mile per gallon, but do not switch unless you put radials on all wheels. Mixing is dangerous. * Adopt a good main tenance program. This means haing a major tune up every 10,000 miles. You should also have the plugs cleaned, and the points and timing adjusted every 5000 miles. If your brakes start dragging, or are not releasing properly, have them adjusted. A good maintenance program m cludes , changing oil and filters. And be sure to use good quality multi grade oil. * Avoid unnecessary use of the air conditioner. Air conditioning decreases your gas mileage by as much as 2.5 miles per gallon Vacation, but don’t “waste fuel” domg it. ABOUT CONDENSED MILK One of the earliest con venience foods still m use today is evaporated milk. This milk is made with fresh, fluid whole milk. First, the whole milk is pasteurized. Then, through a vacuum process, over half of the CCC buys'nearly 300,000 bushels LEESPORT - Com modity Credit Corporation purchased 281,349 bushels of corn in response to an in vitation issued January 22, on a national basis. Successful bidders were those who offered corn at a national average price of $2.40 per bushel or less, having been adjusted for location. This corn will not be sold again until the market price water content is removed. This concentrated milk is then homogenized, and vitamin D is added. Finally the milk is sealed in cans and sterilized by heat. Another product available today is evaporated skim milk. It has less milk fat and therefore has less calories then the standard product. You can use evaporated milk undiluted, partially diluted, or reconstituted. Basically, this form of milk is whole milk of double strength. If you add one part water to one part evaporated milk, you essentially have whole milk agam. You can use a combination of dry milk and reconstituted evaporated milk in place of fluid whole milk, to save money on your milk bill. This combination tastes very like fluid whole milk. Used at full strength, evaporated milk lends extra body and creammess to sauces and desserts. You’ll also see sweetened condensed milk at your store. This is condensed milk to which sugar is added before the evaporation process. The end product is yellowish in color and thicker and sweeter than evaporated milk. It has a caramel-like flavor and is used mainly in making candy or other rich desserts. Its 40 percent sugar content acts as a preservative and, stored under like conditions, this product has a longer shelf life than evaporated milk. Store unopened cans of evaporated or sweetened condensed rhilk m a cool place, preferably not above 70 degrees nor below freezing. Before opening the can, wipe off the top with a damp cloth. Store the opened can in the original container and keep the top covered. Use within four or five days.

Balthaser, chairperson ot the Berks County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Com mittee. This strategy is aimed to keep the market price from falling. There were 140,762 bushels purchased m lowa, 50,000 in Indiana, 33,587 in Minnesota, 30,000 in Missouri, 17,000 in Nebraska, and 10,000 in Illinois. The decision to purchase corn was announced January 19. Its purpose was to help stabilize prices and to relieve congestion m the transportation chain caused by the decision of the longshoremen to not load ships bound for Russia. Bids were received for 53,387,364 bushels from about 5,000 bidders m 19 states. Unsuccessful bids were those which offered sales at higher than the market price. “The U.S. Department of Agriculture will continue to monitor prices and congestion problems caused by the suspension of exports fotto<to c,n9 " NEW EASY TO CONSTRUCT ROUND BARN- Base comes in 12 curved sidewall sec tions One section includes a dutch walk door The other 11 sections can be or dered with or without a 24" x 48" ven tilation door thus allowing you to set up a natural ventilation condition or a total environmentally controlled unit or a combination of the two The unique circular design of the structure combined with vent doors that swing out (hinged on the side instead of at the top) provides a natural air scoop on one side and a natural air foil on the other circular coned floor is divided in naif by Radial Arm Clean Side, thus causing air to cross ventilate inc unit and {ate on which feeders are mounted On command regardless of wind direction Roof cap on motor drives fate around pivot moving manure to gutter Material the bin roof can also be manipulated to tuner pushed by scraper paddle,n.o pipe and out of provide additional natural air movement The 12 sections can be assembled in about one hour Each section is complete with white painted strong panel steel on the exterior and fiberglass insulation in the wall A fiberglass pig barrier is provided for interior covering and comes in a roll for installation after sidewall sections are assembled thus providing for a seamless interior wall The assembled sidewall sections are covered by a conventional gram bin roof which is insulated with white polystyrene 3Vi inches thick The polystyrene comes in panels and is 100% moisture resistant The panels are installed using fasteners and will not come down or sag with age It also enhances the appearance of the interior of the barn SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE *8,995°° f.o.b.
