Conestoga River.
This week’s meeting was held at
the Caernarvon Elementary
School.
Future meetings include ,’the
Martindale Fire Hall, on Wed

tary School, November 5; and the
Union Grove Alternative School,
November 10. All meeting's begin

This week’s opening meeting
■included a slide presentation to
explain how the program works
and what can be done under it. Bob
Anderson and Don Robinson, Adult
Farmer instructors in the Eastern
Lancaster County School District,
explained a step-by-step process
from the time a farmer requests
participation in the program until
contracts are signed and the work
is done.
Today, our researchers are working harder
than ever to perfect more dependable, bigger
yielding corn hybrids.
Like new TVgjan TllOO.
Just try and find a 110-day hybrid that has
more potential to become the yield leader for
the decade ahead.
This exciting TVojan yield producer has
proven its productivity in “on-the-farm" test
plots across the corn belt.
Excellent root and stalk system, too,
plus the drought tolerance and test weight
you're after. , , .

Answering questions on details
of the program were ' Ray
Brubaker, of the ASCS Office; and

Conservation Service.
Two requests for federal funds
were signed by farmers at the
meeting, bringing the total of

on requests is scheduled to be
taken next week.
The federal program includes a
grant of $1.9 million to assist
farmers in controlling and
eliminating the entrance of ag
pollutants into the Conestoga
headwaters.
The project, called the .Rural
Clean Water Project, is designed to
help fanners keep such things as
fertilizer, herbicides, silt and
manure run-off out of the streams
and tributaries and thus improve
the water quality.
Participation in the program is
voluntary. Under the project, the
federal funds provide cost-sharing
for up to $30,000 per farm in the
critical area.
