Bl2—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, June 2,1984 Onbei alarm -And o nazar Joyce B Funny how one associates certain foods with certain ex periences, or places, or people or things. Potato salad, for instance. I grew up disliking potato salad, but for the life of me don’t remember why. Then we married, I developed a taste for Mom’s delicious potato salad, which the farmer loved, and pilfered her recipe. Potato salad is summer food, picnic food, reunion food. I rarely crave the stuff during winter weather, but let that sun'shine bright and hot, and the porch beckon as the best place to eat supper, and suddenly the potato salad hungries get hyped up. Pizza is a Sunday evening food. Why? Search me. Somewhere along the ancestral line I suspect a few Italian genes slipped into our German-Swiss backgrounds, the way the kids adore pizza. Still, Sunday evenings are about the only time we get around to con cocting the luscious stuff. Then there’s ice cream. Now that’s a different story. Ice cream is for today. Tomorrow. Tonight. And it’s a kind of “smiley face” food. I mean, when have you eaten ice cream a sad occasion? Ice cream is a happy memory food.

This remarkable selective action killing many broadleaf weeds without affecting certain broadleaf crops has been proven by research men and commercial growers throughout the country. We are distributors for a complete line of WEED KILLERS we got on Saturday evenings, usually the family favorite flavor with coconut and cherries. Don’t ask me the name of it, but I can still taste that cold, sweetness we enjoyed after Saturday night visits with friends. Then as a teenager, I remember the ice cream sales route truck that stopped by the house every Wednesday. I loved Wednesdays. The farmer remembers how, when he was a youngster, the family weekly ice cream treat was for Sunday dinner, after church, accompanied by a big bag of potato chips. Childhood loves die hard. To this Available From HUMMEL DISTRIBUTING 412-352-9219 day, I don’t recommend getting in his way if there’s ice cream in the freezer and a bag of chips in the cupboard. A second generation of similar snack lovers sometimes threaten supplies of his favorite foods, and are wearing a permanent path to the munching mecca of the kitchen corner cupboard by the refrigerator. And, at least once during visits to 1 the shore, it becomes emotionally I mandatory to mosey on down to the old-fashioned ice cream parlor, to agonize over selecting from the I three dozen or so flavors. On a I sugar cone, of course. Strawberries demand ice cream. Peaches demand ice cream. Holidays demand ice cream. Winter snowstorms and ice on the pond insist that we make use of the available, abundant ice supplies (and plenty of milk in the tank) to crank up batches of the homemade variety, flavored with whatever the farmer-ice cream gourmet can lay his hands on. Interestingly enough, a recent school food service survey report turned up ice cream as children’s favorite food, finishing ahead of doughnuts, chocolate chip cookies, french fries, and - yes - pizza. So join me in celebrating June, national dairy month. Let’s go get some ice cream. Inside every untreated silo, pit and bale of hay lurks rot The mon ster that eats protein and energy, leaving a trail of waste, nutrient loss and musty, stale forage behind it Now you can stop this rot with Anchor silage moculants—Sila-Lator 2X for dry application or Silage Inoculant 160 X for liquid Both are proven microbiotic products that help preserve most types of silage —corn silage, haylage and high moisture com—and now baled hay With Anchor silage moculants, you get the fastest protection possi ble against rot That’s because they contain a specially selected team of beneficial bacteria, aided by four enzymes, featuring something no one else has —Streptococcus faecium Cernelle 68* US PwtniNo 3 713836 4-H school enters 4th year ITHACA, NY One hundred teenagers involved in 4-H horse projects will attend the 4-H Standardbred Driving and Management School this summer in New York State. The school is sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension’s 4- H program and the animal science department in the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, with funding from the Agriculture and New York State Horse Breeding Development Fund. For the first time in its brief history, classes for the school will be conducted simulatneously on two State University of New York (SUNY) Agricultural and Technical College campuses Cobleskill and Morrisville the weeks of July 8 and 15. This year, there will be four, one-week sessions, each limited to a maximum of 25 4-H members between the ages of 14 and 19. Each session will combine classroom instruction and hands on experience with Standardbreds. Instruction will cover many aspects of horse science, including nutrition, diseases, physiology, and anatomy. At the SUNY Ag and Tech college tracks, instruction will include grooming, harnessing. This patented bacterial | strain beats rot to the punch, j multiplying more than twice as fast as other strains And, unlike other strains, it grows in highly preservative pH’s as low as 3 2 in both hot and cold conditions With rot under control, you get more protein and energy, more dry matter, improved payability, less heat loss and runoff That’s proven in leading university trials So you can store your silage or baled hay longer, and get better-doing animals from better-quality silage or hay You might think that fighting rot is a costly battle Not true with Anchor silage inocu lants It’s less than a dollar a ton to treat silage And it’s only a fraction of the cost of acid preparations to treat baled hay Application's also a snap Now's the time to control musty, rotten forage And nothing does it faster than Anchor silage mocu lants—for higher-protein, higher energy silage and hay Ask for Anchor Sila-Lator 2X or Anchor Silage Inoculant 160 X today from your Anchor animal health sup plier Or call toll-free 1-800-821-7467 (In Missouri, call collect, 1-816-233-1385) ANCHOR.

In addition, students will spend one day at a parimutuel harness track, either Vernon Downs or the Saratoga Harness Track, where they will learn about track operations and management, and observe backstretch activity and race preparations. The day at the track will end with an evening at the races. The 4-H teens will live in college dormitories, eat in the campus cafeteria, and study in college classrooms and laboratories under the guidance of resident faculty of the two SUNY Agricultural and Technical colleges. Additional information and application forms can be obtained from county 4-H agents and leaders in New York State. Youths who are not currently enrolled in 4-H, and any other interested individuals, including non-residents of New York State, may contact any 4-H agent in the state, or Sam W.
