PDA Offers Seed Guidelines
HARRISBURG - Determining
the quality of seed before planting
is a vital step in crop production,
the state Department of
Agriculture reminds Pennsylvania
farmers.
“High quality seed contributes to
good production and profits,” said
Richard Deppen, chief of the Seed
Division in the Bureau of Plant
Industry. “Inferior quality seed
can reduce yield and introduce
troublesome weeds that may
persist in the field for years,” he
said.
If the fanner has produced and
stored the seed, he should submit a
representative sample to a
laboratory to be analyzed for pure
seed, other crop seed, inert matter,
germination and noxious or other
harmful weed seeds, Deppen said.

“The best assurance for higher
yields and more profit is to start
with quality seed,” Deppen
stressed. “Use seed that is cer
tified, is a recommended variety
and is treated for protection
against disease.”

laboratory will furnish a complete
analysis for quality and ger

explain the many various features
of his collection of early American
woodworking tools.
Other featured exhibits include
woodcutting as it was done before
the invention of the chain saw, and
the olden-days way of harvesting
com. The ladies will appreciate the
“Maytag Man” more than ever
after seeing a demonstration of
how grandma had to do her
washing.
Special tours will be offered
during the day through the
stationary steam engine building.
Take the time to look and listen to
these “gentle giants.” Their size
and jobs were impressive, yet
running they make only a gentle
swishing sound. Also impressive
was the fact these machines had to
be tended 24 hours a day when they
were in use.
There will be steam and air
horns gathered by enthusiasts in
operation during the “Time of
Harvest.” You can learn a little
about how and where they were
used.
By midday visitors can walk or
take an oxen-powered hay ride to
the lunch stands where they are
sure to find something to delight
the palate.
