IDE REASON OUR CUSTOMERS SET SUPERIOR CROPS
IS BECAUSE OF SOU CONDITIONING PREVIOUSLY.
Olympians don't wait until the day of the race to condition their bodies They
eat natural instead of junk, toxin producing food Same with the soil It rewards
generously if conditioned with natural food When the wind blew and beat up
that stalk it fell not. When the drought comes and the sun beats upon it, it is not
so much scorched because it has depth of earth (from the earthworms) and deep
root to get subsoil moisture, and withereth not away, but forthwith springs up
and beds fruit a hundred fold if you have ears to hear, use them.
A FLORA LIFE CUSTOMER HAD 300 BUSHEL CORN PER ACRE IN 1982
Several witnesses Soft rock phosphate customers had 200 bushel per acre m
1980 in very dry New Holland area
Our best selling soil conditioner is' only $8 25 per acre
All are best applied in fall, sooner the better, to condition the soil Ask for free

Venango honors livestock buyers
with a buffet dinner. The food was
donated by 4-H’ers families and
the pork, lamb and beef served
was purchased by the Livestock
Club from Gahrs Market.
After the dinner, recognition
awards were presented. Sue Metz,
of R 1 Utica, was the recipient of a
200 Tablets... *18.95 Postpaid
floral arrangement by members of
the Livestock Club. She was
honored for her hard work and
guidance as treasurer of the Club.
She noted that she seems to be a
jack-of-all-trades, but enjoys it all.
Appreciation was also shown to
the news media, auctioneers and
those who donated fencing for the
seventh annual 4-H market
livestock sale at the Venango
County Fair in August.
The most important facet of this
sale centers on the generous
buyers and they were shown the
club’s gratitude. Each buyer
received a ribbon symbolic of the
animal they purchased. They are
encouraged to display these in
their business establishments. A
special thanks went to the “Big 3”;
Fryburg Roller Mills, Mowry
Meats and Titusville Agway. They
were the three biggest spenders at
the August sale.
Dale Steadman, spokesman for
the evening, told buyers that the
quality of market animals has
been climbing steadily as interest
has grown. The farigrounds has
also expanded with new buildings
being constructed, including the
Phillips Arena. This is an immense
improvement for the show and
market sale. Until two years ago,
these were held outside.
The Livestock Club of 4-H’ers
has also realized a need for a P.A.
system. Financing for this came
from a “resale of a few animals at
the Livestock Sale. These donated
bids by First National Bank,
Fryburg Roller Mills and a group
were for you
of Titusville fanners along wittf
other monies will fulfull this need.
Following the dinner and award
presentations, the near 200 people
present were entertained by
Venango 4-H’ers with a slide show
they had created. They are
available to speak to groups in the
area and have done so several
tones to promote 4-H. Theresa
Gawrys and Jinnie Wilcox (8 yrs.
ea. in 4-H), Christy Shaffer and
Carl Nelson (3 yrs.) and Jennifer
Garfield (4 yrs.) narrated the
entertaining show of 4-H’ers in
action at the Venango Co. Fair.
