The Harrisburg seminar was
just one of several held across the
country by USDA in response to a
renewed awakening for the need to
educate America’s largely non
farm population about the im
portance of agriculture to the
economy.
Secretary of agriculture John
Block is spearheading the
“Agriculture in the Classroom”
movement, and wrote in a seminar
invitation that”... It is vitally
important that our young people
have a better understanding of the
contribution of agriculture to their
lives and to the nation’s economy.”
A “declaration of principle”, a
document proclaiming the need for
greater agriculture education, has'
been signed by Secretary Block
and all living former national
secretaries of ag. That’s a first,

TO WHAT EASTERN FARMERS
ARE SAYING ABOUT
HOFFMAN SILAGE INOCULATOR.
“We’ve used Hoffman Silage Inoculator
for two years. We put up high moisture
ground shelled corn by spreading the in
oculator on the corn in the bin on the com
bine and letting it get mixed that way. We
found we could feed the treated high
moisture corn right into the hot weather.
We have also checked it on haylage. We
are more than well satisfied with it.”

“We find that by using Hoffman Silage
Inoculator we have consistent high quality
haylage eliminating hot spots and heating
and sour smell, should it be too wet. It also
improved the corn silage no mold, etc. It
produces a sweet smell and the cows
relish it. We also like it because it doesn’t
eat up the equipment.”

“Normally, seepage starts about one
week after silo filling. This year I had no
seepage and the moisture was at least the
ime, If not higher, than In the past several
years. Two of my neighbors tried it and
think it’s the best product they have ever
used. They tried other products, but were
not satisfied-with the results. It really does
what the literature says it will do.”

.according to USDA’s Larry
Martop, and the governor of each
state is being invited to sign this
intent to teach agriculture
background.
In welcoming the delegates from
several state to Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania Secretary of
Agriculture Penrose Hallowell
echoed Block’s philosophy, and
added that the public needs to be
aware that its high standard of
living is a direct result of the ef
ficiency of American agriculture.
Chairing the.regional meeting
was Sally Katt, educational
coordinator for USDA.
“So much is learned by rote, and
not really connected with
anything,” she commented about
