If Letters To i
jlThe Editor J
I just want to say that I like the
new changes you have made in the
paper. It makes it easier for me to
read. Thank you.
Dear Editor;
Many of us appreciate and use
the Pennsylvania Grain Prices as
published by Lancaster Farming
Tom Flory is right (Letter to the
Editor 2/14/81), consistency of
location is of importance We, too,
couldn’t find it anywhere a couple
weeks ago
Page 3 is great! ft’s your paper
but that, too, is our opinion, and
our request
Editor's note: Both the Penn
sylvania Gram Summary and our
eight hay market reports will
appear regularly on page Ab This
allows us to group the swine sales
on page A 3 and still keep all of the
crops reports together
