BROWNLEE Somerset Co. Correspondent MEYERSDALE (Somerset Co.) The Somerset Fall Classic held at the Somerset County fair grounds in Meyersdale, Pa. was delayed nearly an hour at starting time because of the beautiful weather. One of the finest days this summer gave fanners an opportunity to catch up on undone field work. Paul and Naomi Yoder of Oak land, Md. sold the animal bringing the best price at the sale. Cherrie- Kreek Impact Blackie, a three year- nine-month-old cow was purchased by Paul B. Zimmerman of Ephrata, Pa. for $3,350. Zim merman’s representative, John Burkett, from Blair County, han dled the transaction and stated that Zimmerman will probably add the cow to his milking herd. CREATIVELY (ORGANICALLY) SPEAKING Do you use a John Deere manual for an automobile? No. The wrong oil and fuel may do It permanent damage. You use the manual for the creator of the motor. Then why do you use a man made manual for the soil which the creator created? The boy now has permanent damage. The wrong fertilizer causes unhealthy soil which causes unhealthy plants which need Insecticides and fungicides which is what the consumers are complaining about and rising up against it. We get long distance calls tor addresses of farmers that grow toxic free meat and poultry and produce. Super markets also get requests for unsprayed produce. Local farmers want organic grown grains and soybeans at a premium price to feed to organic poultry for premium prices. If organic farming would give less crop, it would still be a duty to refrain from poisoning your fellowmen. But country wise It gives better and larger crops, and costs less. Make a test and prove It. Apply our materials in the fall as soon as the crops are off. It takes time to make the soil healthy, same as it takes time to make a man with arthritis healthy. It will outpro duce If put on in the fall before. Our materials do not dlssapate. They have substance. They multiply soil life which releases nutrients In the soli that were tied up by the chemicals, and they attract nitrogen out of the air. And the trillions of earth worms give the world’s best manure free, and they loosen and aerate your soil. This Is LOW INPUT farming at its best. It clicks with the new slogan being used these days, “Sustainable Agri culture,” because It sustains soil and food consumers, rather than poisoning them and killing them. The promoters of It are on the right track. Popularity has changed to low Input farming. ORGANIC CENTER 217 S. Railroad Ave,, New Holland, PA 17557 PH. 717-354-7064 Call from 7:30 to about 8 A.M.
