84—Lancaster farming, Saturday. January 29,1983 Ida’s Notebook Ida Bisser Wintertime is a wonderful time to look at pictures that were taken in the summer or spring. It really doesn’t even matter if they were recent snapshots as sometimes the older ones are the most in teresting. I've sorted mine into different years and now share them with the grandchildren. When I re-examine the recent Christmas photos of our family, it is just like reliving the experiences of all being together again. My children all own cameras and some have several expensive models. They’ve even taken courses in photography and en tered some in contests and won prizes. My talent is lacking in that area as I have trouble placing a group of people in the center of a picture. My favorite subjects are my flowers and plants. At this time of year, I enjoy looking at last years’s flower beds.

BY: were taken in our woodlands. My great uncle was quite in terested in many areas and so he traveled all over thq county taking pictures of all the covered bridges, historic buildings in Lancaster city, plus banks and hotels in the villages of our county. I believe he faust have been given a camera as a child as many of his pictures are brown and yellow from age. There are pic tures taken indoors of his family and pets which I think is unusual for that time. Some include men working in the fields, his own personal horse and the machinery used in the 1800 s. Recently I was able to share some of these with a professor who is publishing a pictorial history of the Pa. Dutch Country. They in cluded an old car, a steam engine, wheat binder, distillery and a Civil War gun mill.

Lancaster, Pa. 17601 717-898-7689 Interest rates drop on FmHA loans DALLAS, Tx.—lnterest rates for loan programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farmers Home Administration dropped again on Monday, reported Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block. “These lower interest rates, which apply to most loans made by the USDA farm credit agency, will be of great benefit to the rural economy and particularly for the nation’s fanners who depend heavily on credit,” Block said. It is the third such reduction since October 1962 by the agency, which makes farm, home and other loans to rural residents and communities who cannot get credit from private lenders. Block said the reductions are possible because of a general move toward'lower interest rates across all sectors of the economy and because of lower costs of federal borrowing. Interest rates for farm operating loans, used to finance annual costs of production, dropped from 11.5 to 10.25 percent. reciate his efforts in the years ime. appi to a BEEF SALES MONDAY-1:30 P.M.
