But, did you know there was a localized storm in Penn sylvania that made Agnes and Eloise look like an April shower? The date was July 17 and 18, 1942, and the place was Smethport, McKean County. A stationary front ex tending , from Minnesota across the Great Lakes, caused the storm to stall in the area around Smethport. This, coupled with ex tremely warm, moist air pumped m from the Gulf of Mexico, and a great SPORTING CHOICE For 20-mile-a-day comfort, sportsmen choose Red Wing Irish Setters. ‘Sizes 6-16 Widths AA-EEEE “Not all sizts in all widths 1 BOOKS SHOE SERVICE 107 E STATE ST QUARRYVILLE, PA 17566 717-786-2795 CLOSED WEDNESDAYS RED WING dairy herd on the home farm, and started renting additional land for his cropping program He is currently farming on hun dred and five acres of com, hay, wheat and oats While in high school, he served as president and vice president of his FFA Chapter He exhibited vegetables, crops, and dairy animals at the Kutztown Fair, vegetables and crops at the Allentown and Reading Fairs, and dairy at the South East Regional Junior Dairy Show.

Zion Lutheran Church, as well as other farm organizations. a big rain? horizontal temperature contrast in the upper at mosphere, produced 24.7 inches of rainfall, 18 of which fell in four hours. One unofficial reading, a glass jar located on a farm close to Smethport, caught 30.8 inches of ram before overflowing, with the total thought to have been near 35 inches Compare this with Hurricane Agnes when just 17 inches of ram fell over a three day period. With luck, a storm of this magnitude will never hit our area, or what soil we do have left at the top of the hill surely will be at the bottom when it is over, says Lan caster County Conservation District Administrator Thomas L. Johnston. Just as one plans for major catastrophies such as fire and wind by buying in surance, so too should one plan for the protection of his soil. After all, a bam can be replaced. Eroded soil is lost forever. For “erosion insurance,” contact the Conservation District in your county, in the event that a catastrophe such as the one in Smethport should reoccur. 1m Service Problems HOOVER DIESEL SERVICE PH 717-656-6133 2998-Wett Newport Rd Ronkt, PA 17572 Let Us Know
