New Foil BK
New Foil® BFC bioinsecticide is re
shaping Colorado potato beetle
control. Ecogen has developed a
new Foil strain that produces a
crystal that is three times as large
and three times more effective than
the original Foil formulation. That's
three times more toxin in every bite.
BiSSer is better.
Added strength means that less Foil
BFC is needed to do the job.
Recommended application rates
have been reduced from 3 quarts
per acre with the original Foil 1 to 1

Plans are under way to construct the Romano 4-H Center
of Chester County along Rt. 322 north of Guthrlesville and
Just south of Honey Brook. At left is Russell C. Albright,
senior loan officer, who helped secure the donated land for
the project, with Pat Taws, president of the Chester County
4-H Center, Inc. board of directors.
New 4-H Center
(Continued from Pag* A 1)
The search for the new center,
which will cost about $950,000
when all is tallied, began about 30
years ago. The goal is to raise
about $750,000 through contribu
tions —although private contribu
tions can be made in the form of
actual construction material or
other methods. According to Wal
ter Wurster, extension dairy agent
in last week’s Chester County
Dairy Milk Lines in Lancaster
Farming, the plan is to eventually
s.

build two pole buildings, two show
rings, and a headquarters office.
The main building will have
meeting and banquet space, kitch
en, showers, and community facil
ities. Wurster noted that there is
also the possibility to include
space for ag-related agencies, and
community groups will be able to
use the buildings and grounds
when there are no 4-H events
scheduled.
The site will mirror
some of the new build
' ings housing livestock
shows, similar to the
one built recently in
Lebanon County.
But the Romano 4-H
Center was designed
specifically to bring
together the various
roundups in the county,
which are split between
the Goshen and Kimer
ton fairs and held at
expensive private loca
tions during the year.
Because the 4-H
''officedepends on secur
ing a place to show
horses, which costs up
to $l,OOO a day to rent
space, the new show
space is a blessing.
“If we brought it all
here and had a four-day
4-H fair weekend, we
wouldn’t conflict with
any other fairs in the
county at all,” said
Cheryl Fairbaim, coun
ty livestock agent. “In
fact, we don’t want to
detract from the other
fairs. It would just make
life so much easier for
4-H families and make a
lot more publicity for
4-H.”
“Not only that, we
want the community to
be involved, too," said
Pat Taws, president of
the board of directors
for the Chester County
4-H Center, Inc. “It’s
not just for us."
In all. there are about
2,577 members and 263
volunteer leaders in the
county’s 4-H program.
According to Wurster, it
is visualized that, by
1994, a countywide 4-H
roundup, lasting several
days, will be held at the
site.
Although details of
the actual building
appearance are being
Finalized at presstime,
the site itself will host
two bams for dairy and
livestock events, includ
ing sheep, goats, and
other small animals.
The design now will
reflect what is in use
now at Solanco, for
example, with a huge
show area in the center,
room for tables away
from the ring, and then
bleacher-type seats sur
rounding it “The ring
capacity is going to be
big,” said Fairbaim.
