Beagle stated, starter fertilizers give Hie plant a ‘‘kick in the rear, and get it going.” This prevents stunting if a dry spell should come along in the early life of the plant. In the herbicide plot, weed killing efficiency of various chemicals was tested. According to George Williams of Cordorus Fertilizer Service, all the her bicides were working well This statement was easily verified by comparing the test plots to the check plots where no herbicide had been applied and an abundant number and variety of weeds grew. On the farm of Charles Rauhauser, two plots of com were observed. One plot tested in secticides for the control of com borer, while the other plot tested corn varieties. The hybrids were tested for their durabhtiy, disease resistance and later will be tested for yields. In addition to the com plots, the Rauhauser’s dairy farm also featured an alfalfa-variety testing plot. A no-till corn plot and a minimum-tillage com plot were the sites of two herbicide testing fields on the farm of Michael Hoffman. In both plots, a variety of herbicides were tested The minimum-tillage plot was relatively free from weeds and all the chemicals used had performed admirably. In the no-till field, some problems were evident. According to James Haldeman, York County Extension agent, the field was LEASE IT See Your Agri Builder For Details heavily covered with old grasses and weeds making weed control difficult. The amounts of each chemical placed on this particular field were not heavy enough to control the abundant weed-seed population, he explained. One of the chemicals used in this test plot (an Aatrex-Bladex combination), Haldeman noted, had a tendency to delay the maturity of the com by several days. Participants in the field day visited displays setup by a number of seed, chemical and machinery companies —LD N.Y, to get grant NEW YORK, N.Y. - New York will be one of four states to receive 560,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help finance a planning and evaluating demon stration project aimed at im proving rural and agricultural transportation, a USDA official said. The state will use the funds to test the feasibility of providing transportation services for agricultural and other rural shippers through a short line railroad or trucking transportation cooperative or other non-profit organization. K the study proves the project to be economically feasible, the state will then work with affected users to help develop cooperative or other non-profit organizations to provide needed services.

Second place in this division went to Bradley Hess of York County, with Bradley Keim of Somerset County taking third. The contour division, which is judged on slightly different rules than the level land contests, finds each contestant staggering the furrow and plowing them in a curved pattern to match the hill. A thirty-foot waterway had to be skipped over by each contestant. To make sure the waterway was just the right width, contestants could be seen checking and double checking with tape measures. It was a close race for first place in this division, with top honors going to Miller and second place going to Jay Stoner of Cumberland County. James Mowery of Somerset County ranked third while using a foreign made plow that gave a slightly different turn to the soil than its American counterparts. the agency which administers the Federal-State Marketing Im provement Program, under which the grant was made. Similar grants will be made to Montana, North Dakota and Texas. A USDA task force invited states to submit proposals for rural transportation cooperative projects earlier this year. Thymian said eight states applied and the USDA Task Force on Rural Transportation Cooperatives, headed by Martin Fitzpatrick, director of USDA’s Office of Transportation, recommended six.
