Conservation stressed
at Ag Progress Days
HARRISBURG Several new
activities will highlight this year’s
conservation program at Penn
State’s Ag Progress Days, reports
Frederick Bubb, conservation
education chairman.
Computers in the conservation
tent will demonstrate the latest
ways for farmers to determine soil
loss and evaluate effectiveness of
conservation practices.
Conservation tillage demon
strations will be added to the
conservation area tours. They will
include plots comparing chisel
plowing, no-till, and conventional
plowing. Pasture no-till planting
demonstrations will be held daily.
A no-till planting on cropland
terraces demonstration will be
another addition.
A new feature of the woodland
management demonstration will
be the inclusion of the value of
woodland and farm fields in
wildlife management. Personnel of
the Pennsylvania Game Com
mission will join foresters from the
State Bureau of Forestry and Penn
State in conducting the woodland
and wildlife demonstrations.

The satisfaction that comes
from doing a good job
of farming
Liming is one of the most important factors
m keeping your soil in the highest
productive range By raising the pH from a
level below 6 0 to 6 5 or higher you can
expect to harvest as much as 5 more
bushels of corn per acre with similar
increases for all other forage and cash
crops
