Wooden ladders, boards or other items can be shoved out to the person in the water if needed; it should be large enough to distribute the weight of the person making the rescue. A rope is also a good item to pull people out with. Skating is a very enjoyable winter-time sport. Don’t be the victim of an accident that could have been prevented. TO PRUNE SHADE TREES Winter is a good time to prune the shade trees on your property because the trees are dormant and won’t be affected by the trimming as much. The bare limbs let you see where and how much to prune. And it’s easier to reshape tangled and low-handling branches. Most trees need thinning when they approach maturity. But, corrective pruning is important when trees are young. While the young tree is growing it’s im portant to remove a branch starting in the wrong position because this branch could change the whole tree structure. Pruning consists mostly of cuttings that train the tree ... but it generally involves more and more thinning ver 65 ye 8.8.

This is ab solutely not the case. Again we appreciate your sending reporters out to cover these farmer meetings. However, Hogging I am a subscriber to Lancaster Fanning. I am a 4-H and FFA member and exhibited hogs and a steer at the Farm Show. Every year at the Farm Show the buyer of the Champion Baby out of weak and dead wood as the tree matures. There is a saying that “as the branch is bent, so will the tree grow.” With pruning, the results are even more drastic, for a limb which is cut will not grow back. So it’s important to know the proper method of pruning before you start. The pruning of dormant shade trees while they are young will determine, to a large measure, the beauty and health of a tree in later years.

Akers Director, District 12 the credit Beef gets all the recognition for buying the Champion Steer. I feel that Hatfield Packing Company should be given recognition for buying the Champion and Reserve Champion Junior Market Hog at the Farm Show plus fifty-five of the ninty-three hogs sold in the sale at prices two to four times of market price. They also purchased the hogs that didn’t quality to sell in the sale at the Farm Show. I feel that a company that supports the 4-H and FFA mem bers that much and returns every year to buy the majority of the hogs at the Farm Show should receive more recognition for their support in your paper.

The ACR works with" any system. And its unique "space-age memory system" advises the unit that the milker is in the strip phase when milk flow drops. This eliminates extra add-on time and speeds the movement of cows through the parlor. No other system offers this computer-like memory feature which assures you of getting all the milk in the fastest, most efficient way possible. When the stripping phase is completed, the ACR shuts off vacuum, pauses and gently detaches the cluster.
