ety of events like the Lebanon
Area Fair, the Lebanon County
Builders Show, the Lebanon
Bologna Fest, the Brethren Relief
Auction and other events.”
According to the exposition
news release, “After a comprehen
sive survey of the current uses and
future potential of the fairgrounds,
it became evident to the exposition
board, that the community’s need
for a multipurpose center could be
met by renovating the existing
structures and building new
facilities.
The exisiting main hall, called
the north hall, can hold more than
600 people. A to be built center
hall is to connect the existing
building with a main convention
area. The main convention area is
to include various smaller meeting
rooms, lavatories, showers, and
complete kitchen facilities.
Wayne County Dairy Farmer
(Continued from Pago A 1)
allow almost any efficient fanner
to make a profit Most farmers are
currently producing milk for less
than what it costs them to produce
it a situation that cannot continue
for too long without a massive loss
of farms.
E.W. Lepro stated that the dairy
farmer generates seven dollars in
spending for every dollar he
makes, therefore being a tremend
ous force for good in helping a
sagging national economy. Many
in the crowd could not understand
why it seems to be government
policy to force farmers out of busi
ness when healthy farms ate so
good for the economy as a whole.
Now... the NEW
Application Versatility
The AIR RIDE is a versatile applicator which can make accurate applications across
rough fields before planting and through finished fields after the crop is up. A rugged four
wheel independent suspension supports the vehicle frame and allows the applicator to
make precise custom application.
Adjustable Axles
The front and rear axles can be hydraulically adjusted from inside the cab, to any width
between 72 and 96 inches to adjust for any row width.
Reduced Compaction
The AIR RIDE is equipped with 43x12.4x24 inch tires, to reduce crop damage and soil
compaction.
60 Foot Boom
AIR RIDE’S 60-foot self-leveling boom and 500-gallon spray tank translates into more
acres per day.

Every dairy farm helps to keep
huge numers of people employed
in hundreds of different ag support
businesses. Every time one farm
goes out of business it means the
loss of many jobs to non-farmers.
This view was strongly support
ed by representatives of several
agricultural businesses that were
present at the meeting. Frank
Cowen of Bainbridge, New York
runs a private milk testing busi
ness. He strongly supports the idea
of farmers fighting to help them
selves and is willing to send letters
to all of his customers encourag
ing them to put up signs support
ing the Oct. I milk withholding.
Doug Phillips, the area breeder for

Eastern A.I.C. said that he works
mainly with family farms and if
they are pushed out of business
that he too will be looking for an
other job.
Dr. D. Caucci of the Orson Cor
ners Vet Clinic is also very con
cerned. He comes from Bucks
County, an area which used to
have many farms and is now al
most totally suburban. He moved
to this area because he likes the
lifestyle that goes with a healthy
agricultural area and finds it pain

sures that area farmers are under
trying to get along with less than
cost of production milk prices.
One of the things he admires most
about farmers is their independent
spirit, but sometimes that works
against them when they have to
come together and back a plan to
improve their situation. His ex
perience in living for a while in
Europe showed him that European
farmers are much more vocal and
IT DOES A BODY GOOD.
