Dwarf trees
A challenge Stamer
(Continued (rota Page 02)
A year ago in June, Starner suffered a heart attack and
has been forced to slow down his pace somewhat. He is
still involved and works at “everything but the picking. I
can’t take the physical work.” During the picking he
keeps busy keeping trucks loaded and bins unloaded.
He has also given up some of his community in
volvement which he had felt was important, but notes,
“There comes a time when somebody else can take your
place.”
He had been a member of the board of the Adams
County Fruit Growers, Inc., for 21 years, taught Sunday
School at the Bendersville Lutheran Church for 34 years,
was president of the Upper Adams Young Farmers twice,
was active as a school director and president of the PTA.
He is an annual bus guide for the Apple Blossom Festival,
something he feels is important because, “It gives the
general public an idea of how much work goes into
growing apples.”
SPECIAL PURCHASE
Hard Surface, Under cut or Short Adams Rock
Shares.
Regular Prices $18.99 to $19.99
Sale Prices As Marked.
HardiSurfacc Rock Shares give you many advantages The nose of the share is protected on the
bottom side with a deposit of tungsten carbide that is twice the area covered by competitive
shares In addition tungsten carbide is deposited on the quarter bar of the share which gives the
greatest possible life as well as holding the nose to the original shape tor a much longer time
Super high alloy hard metal is used on blade section of share and because of such high alloy
deposit can be applied in a wider and thinner application Therefore the share is thin and sharp
which greatly reduces friction and actually creates a self sharpening blade edge creating a huge
savings in fuel consumption Many users claim fuel savings actually pay for shares m addition to
the large increase in share life Most competitive shares have much too thick a hard metal deposit
and share remains dull for its entire life :

Starner now lives on part of the home farm where his
father was a fruit grower and-general fanner. Starner
began at Penn State in agricultural economics and ex
tension but his education was interrupted by the first
peace time draft. He never went back to college and took a
job with Duffy-Mott as an apply buyer. He also traveled to
Mexico as an International Farm Youth Exchange
student, and then got into the fruit business.
He points out, “Every building and shed I built myself.”
There is always work on a fruit farm, with machinery to
fix and, as Starner puts it, “things to invent.” His picking
aide was not his first invention. He said. “I built a tree
planter. There is now a commercial one, but I had mine
built before the commercial ones came out.” With good
humor he says, “I built things that don’t work too.”
Stamer’s operation may be small, but he is quick to use
labor-saving devices. He says proudly, “I have not used
ladders to pick apples for 17 years.” He adapted a
hydraulic pruning device to use for picking, saying “It
was only the second one to come into the county. It goes all
winter to prune trees. I had to make a lot of changes to use
it for a picker, and 1 put a fan on it to keep cool.” With
that, Starner, the observer of weather patterns, says,
“It’s been hotter in the Falls. We’ve had a lot of hot
weather m October. The sun has really been hotter.”
For the Stamer family, a small orchard is what they
prefer. It offers an adequate living and allows them to
work together as a unit. And in those small orchards, the
small trees are offering the challenge which Stamer
enjoys.
It’s easy to predict that Myles Stamer will continue to
educate himself about the trees, and continue to think of
ways to make production easier. It’s that challenge which
makes him a successful fruit grower.

The extra heavy duty long wearing share is made c> top quality spring steel
thus having the best wearing material used in plow shares The
manufacturing upsetting process beefs up the nose of the blade to double
the regular thickness thus making the share wear twice as long or more By
adding this extra amount of material in the nose it makes the share extra
strong to eliminate breakage This special upsetting process makes our
extra heavy duty plow share wear as longasany other share on the market

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 4,1980—C7
Dot picks apples from the dwarf trees and will
simply need to turn and empty her bag into the bin
which is carried on the slow moving vehicle. When
that bin is filled, it will be dropped off, and another
bin will be lowered from the top. The aide is
designed to carry four empty bins and there are
several picking buckets so that the driver always
has an empty one as hers is filled.
