account for this rapid
growth Although the drill is
slower than a broadcast
seeder, I am finding this
type of cover crop
establishment, the drill, to
be more economical to use.
“Whether we give credit to
the Environmental
Protection Agency and local
conservation groups or to the
salespeople who advocate
using the no-till system to
encourage farmers to use
more pounds of products
associated with no-till crop
production, the word
“stewardship” and the
phrase “stewards of the
soil” have revitalized the
farmer’s sense of respon
sibility.
“It is an obligation to pass
on to the succeeding
generations a world that is
fertile and productive not
one that has been ravaged by
years of neglect for erosion,
nor one that has been
sterilized by using toxic
chemicals to kill all but a few
plant species.
“I believe that by having
planters which enable me to

This meeting will be held
on Tuesday evening,
January 27,1981, at 7 30 p m
at the Union Grove School
The
Dr Carl Troop,
veterinarian from Pennstar
Embryo Transfer Service,
Quarryville, will discuss the
procedure involved,
No
till
plant a variety ot crops and
stay within the bounds of the
no-till concept, I can rotate
my crops and pesticides and
use weaker-less toxic
chemicals to avoid buildup
and lessen the chances of
certain weeds, diseases, and
insects from being un
controllable problems
“Extension Agronomists
have long advocated
following legumes with corn
to utilize the nearly-free
nitrogen formed by these
plants and lessen the cash
outlay for commercial
nitrogen. A com yield in
crease of 15-20 bushels per
acre following a soybean
crop is the rule rather than
the exception. One field test
in Illinois reported a 40-50
bushel increase.
"Now, more than ever, a
crop rotation is
economically feasible.
“The possibilities for no
till in the years ahead are
unimaginable.”
"The opportunities open to
farmers will be limited only
by their imagination and no
longer by the lack of planting
equipment The no-till drill is
truly an idea whose time has
come ”

economics, and how
dairymen can use Embryo
Transfer to their best ad
vantage This is not only a
tool for the large, purebred
breeder, but can be used by
many ol our area dairymen
Four outstanding area
dairymen will participate in
a panel discussion on
Feeding High-Moisture
Corn
Panel members include
Galen Crouse, Stevens,
Nathan Stoltztus, Gap,
Amos Stoltztus,
Honeybrook, and Andy
Stoltzfus, Morgantown
Many dairymen are using or
considering the use of high
moisture corn and these four
will share their experiences
and insight into the suc
cessful use of high-moisture
corn
Embryo Transfer is the
removal of a fertilized egg
(embryo; from one cow and
insertion into another cow or
heifer to carry it to them.
Embryo transfer techniques
are useful for obtaining
many of the goals of today’s
progressive dairymen.
All interested persons are
invited to attend. The Umon
Grove School is located near
Terre Hill, on route 625, two
miles north of route 23. For
