MEADVILLE - Crawford
County has reason to be proud of
its Cooperative Extension Service,
according to Dr. Homer Mazer,
Northwest Pennsylvania assistant
director of Extension. Dr. Mazer
praised the “exceptional staff for
their initiative, enthusiasm and
ability to get the job done” at the
annual meeting held in Meadville,
Pa.
Numerous guests were in
troduced by county extension
director Blaine Schlosser, in
cluding the guest speaker, Bernard
Winger! who recently retired from
the Extension in Warren County.
He continues to write a weekly
column for the Warren newspaper.
Wingert spoke cm “Something
about Work: But More about
Living.” His thoughtful but
humorous speech pointed out the
need for common sense with a dose
of the work ethic. He said, “You
don’t have to do extraordinary
things- just ordinary things ex
traordinarily well.” He closed with
several pieces of advice and this
bit of philosophy; “Make the most
of all that comes, and the least of
all that goes.”
A surprise presentation was
Working together, pointing to
more consistent performance.
Well bred and field prpven. That’s
the best way to describe new G-4326
and G-4522.
And when you plant both, you’li be
getting two of our best performers.
There’s no better way to spread your
maturities while you aim for high yields
in each maturity range.
New G-4326. Just what you need
today - a rugged, hard working hybrid.
With ability to put extra bushels in the
bin during both good and not-so-good

made to Blaine Schlosser for
reaching a 25 year milestone with
the Penn State University
