August 23,1M0—A17 YORK 717-792-2674 Afpp° @ag%i Lehigh Valley drought (Continued from Page Al) encouraged a satisfactory first cutting, but little has grown since then. One farmer said his crop was ready for cutting, but the plants were too short to go through the knives of the haybine. Timothy Merwarth of Upstream Farm m Easton expects almost nothing from his third cutting, but plans to remove the crop and hope for better weather. Merwarth said his com crop was mixed, with some as short as four feet. His sweet com experienced poor pollination and the second planting of silver queen had no ears on it at all. A meeting was scheduled with Lehigh County ASCS and Farmers Home Ad ministration to discuss possible FmHA emergency loan participation. In Northampton County, Mrs. Noyales said a meeting had been set for next week to review the emergency livestock feed program which grants up to 50 percent cost sharing. That program does not include alfalfa, and she said that fact would probably be discussed. Charles Forney, Nor thampton County Extension agent, cautioned that far mers should be aware of possible nitrate poisoning should drought conditions persist. But there is hope. A National Weather Service spokesman said the 30 day forecast for the area calls for more than normal rainfall from the period August 15 to September 15. ft'' mi mi SPORTING CHOICE For 20-mile-a-day comfort, sportsmen choose Red Wing Irish Setters * Sizes 6-16 Widths AA-EEEE 'Not all sizas in all widths [wing BOOKS SHOE SERVICE 107 E.
