“In Pennsylvania we have a
Family Strength Program,” ex
plains Penn State extension ser
vices home economist Natalie
Snyder of Union County. “We focus
on ways to strengthen the family
unit, because family strength flows
over into all aspects of farm life.
We’ve found the more families do
things together, the stronger they
are.”
With this in mind, home
economists from the extension
service’s 10-county Susquehanna
region have prepared hands-on

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 18,1984—E39
exhibits to involve every member
of the family.
“So often at events like this the
children get left out,” Snyder
notes. “We’ve planned exhibits
that will incorporate children,
often working with their parents. ’ ’
A 10-foot-tall giraffe will invite
youngsters to record their height
along with their identity at one
booth. Kids will be able to take
home a growth chart as well as
handouts for them and for
groWnups. Parents will learn about
special toys they can make at
home-toys that get parents in
volved in their children’s learning
and play.
A parent/child hand-tracing

stand will be part of the fun and
will emphasize “that parents are
the helping hands that make
children into healthy adults,”
according to Snyder.
For adults the emphasis is on
getting important and practical
information at this year’s family
life exhibits. A telephone exhibit
will illustrate the new service and
equipment options available to
consumers. “People will be able to
see what they can do to lower their
phone service costs,” says Cindy
Walls, extension service home
economist in Lycoming County.
A banking exhibit will allow
people to try their hand at using an
automatic teller machine. “We
want people to become com
fortable with using the machines,”
Walls says. “We’ll be showing
their safety features and their
advantages.”
Other exhibits will look at
sewing, how to lead a healthier life
and the role of carbohydrates in
good nutrition.
Corn irrigation
(Continued from Page E3B)
To/neasure how much water is
actually being applied to the soil,
Williams advises growers to use a
senes of three tapered rain gauges
per system. A few drops of light oil
in the empty gauge will form a film
over the water as the gauge fills
and keep the water from
evaporating before the level can be
read.
“This would csertainly be a good
year to see a lot of 200-bushel-per
acre irrigated corn yields,” con
cludes Williams. “Water at the
right time is the key.”
