Workshop Set
DAUPHIN (Dauphin
Co.) Interested in
harvesting edible nuts
from trees you’ve culti
vated on your own
property?
Plan to attend the
annual nut tree grafting
workshop from 9 a.m.
until 12:30 p.m. on
Saturday, March 13 at
the Dauphin County
Agriculture and Natural
Resources Center.
The center is located
two miles north of the
borough of Dauphin, on
route 225 between
Clark’s Creek and
Peters Mountain.
The workshop, con
ducted by Jay Book and
Tucker Hill of the Pen
nsylvania Nut Growers
Association, will give
hands-on experience in
grafting.
Grafted nut trees
begin to produce earlier
than seedling trees and
usually bear superior
quality nutmeats. Many
species of walnuts and
two of hickory are
native to Pennsylvania,
but few people know
that an abundant variety
of nut trees are capable
of producing in
Pennsylvania.
There is no charge for
the workshop. Scion
wood and grafting sup
plies for grafting will be
available for a small fee,
and a few trees will be
offered for sale follow
ing the demonstration.

REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD
BUY A
tjj'MMi BALE WRAPPER
ffimS Ml COMPETITION fAVMA
1 • Five (5) points of support on turntable:
Four heavy duty rollers add stability
and support to the perimeter of the
turntable in addition to the main
central shaft. This allows Tanco
wrappers to safely wrap the heaviest
silage bales on rough or uneven
ground.
2. Single solid belt on turntable: The
single belt enables Tanco wrappers to
effectively wrap misshapen or soggy
bales providing a positive surface for
bale rotation.
3. Adjustable extendable axle: On trailed
models the extendable axle provides a
wide, stable wheel base when loading
bales. Eliminates the need for counter
weights.
4. Top rollers on turntable; Extra rollers
provide security to keep bales in place
when wrapping at high RPM’s (25) or
on uneven terrain.
5. Unloading ramo on trailed models:
The ramp allows bales to be unloaded
gently. When a wrapped bale falls
hard It can “burp". Once It “burps”
the bale does not re-seal. The ramp
gives a smooth transition between the
ground and turntable.
6> Turntable braking System; When
unloading wrapped bales Its important
that the turntable doesn't move out of
position. A twisted turntable can
offload a bale crooked, exposing It to
possible tearing of plastic on frame
parts. Tanco machines are equipped
with a braking system that holds the
turntable in place when unloading
bales

American agricultural exports,”
said Larry Case, national FFA
advisor and coordinator of agri
cultural and rural education, U.S.
Department of Education. “This is
an excellent opportunity for our
future agricultural leaders to leant
about the issues and challenges
which face American agriculture,
and, indeed, all sectors of Ameri
can business and industry.”
The six young people are the
1992-1993 national officers for
the National FFA Organization.
During their time in Japan, they
received a briefing by U.S.
Embassy officials on agricultural
trade, toured a large fish, veget
able, and floral marketing facility,
and visited a horticultural high
school.
In addition, the group toured the
facilities of Mitsui & Co. Ltd.
Tokyo, as well as a number of
agricultural businesses and histor
ical landmarks in Kyoto and
Tokyo. The officers met with their
Japanese counterparts —members
of the Future Farmers of Japan
(FFJ) —to further extend contacts
between the next generation of
agricultural leaders for both coun
tries. Each officer stayed with a
Japanese host family for one
weekend to learn more about the
culture and traditions of one of the
United States’ most important
trading partners.
The international program is
sponsored by Mitsui Grain Corpo
ration and Mitsui & Co. Ltd.
7. Film indexing system; As temperature
rises, plastic stretches more. To
ensure proper overlap and complete
coverage when It's hot outside, Tanco
machines are equipped with an ex
clusive, simple, Indexing system to
compenstate for those times. The
operator can eliminate potential
"windows'* in the wrapping procedure.
O. Positive bale positioning: while being
wrapped, bales are rotated the exact
distance required to obtain optimum
coverage.
9. Durability! Tanco's subframe la the
heaviest of any machine available In
North America. The low profile design
keeps silage bales closer to the ground
with a low center of gravity for
stability.
Tokyo as a special project of the
National FFA Foundation. Mitsui
Grain Corporation is based in Chi
cago. 111. The headquarters for its
parent company, Mitsui & Co.
Ltd., are in Tokyo. Mitsui has
sponsored the tour for 14 years.
“If the United States is going to
remain competitive in a global
economy, we must begin to appre
ciate the culture, practices and
policies of our international trad
ing partners,** said Travis Park,
national FFA president “During
our year of service, the national
officers will have die opportunity
to share what we learn on this tour
with hundreds of thousands of our
fellow members and U.S. agricul
tural leaders.”
The national officers travelling
to the Far East were Travis Park,
national president from Franklin,
Ind.; Kevin White, national secret
ary from Redding, Calif.; Rick
Perkins, eastern region vice presi
dent from Bloomville, Ohio; John
Kleiboeker, central region vice
