Morris
Award
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
A stalwart supporter of the
dairy industry, John L. Morris,
Frederick, Maryland, has been sc
•ected to receive the 1995 Penn
ylvania All-American Dairy
,'how Image award. Presented at
the All-American Buffet on Sep
tember 27, the aware will recog
nize Morris’ 27 years of profes
sional service, and 18 years of
volunteerism since his retirement.
The specially crafted stained
glass hanging mirror which Mor
ris will receive is inscribed
“Awarded to an individual who
has enhanced the image of the
Pennsylvania All-American Dairy
Show by significant contributions
toward its reputation, prestige and
welfare.” Pally McMurray, chair
man of the Award Committee stat
ed, “Johnny is a diligent worker
and has been an advocate of this
dairy show for years! He is most
deserving of this recognition.”
Finally, a practical way to apply
organic mulch to row crops
Organic mulch is the natural way to suppress
weeds, help retain soil moisture, and improve soil
conditions. Trouble is, hand mulching takes too
much time and effort. Now the Millcreek Row
Mulcher makes it easy and affordable to mulch
berries, grapes, fruit trees, and other row crops.
One operator can mulch an acre in just a couple
hours depending on conditions.
Spread A Variety of Materials, Including lime
You can spread all types of stemless flowable
mulches, such as wood chips, sawdust, chopped
bark, even compost, with plenty of clearance to
avoid plant damage. Plus, the Millcreek Row
Mulcher is ideal for banding lime and other
materials requiring lighter applications. The optional
metering gate gives you complete control of the
coverage so you can tailor applications to best suit
your cultivation practices. With the labor-saving
versatility you get with the Millcreek Row Mulcher,
you may even find new techniques to grow
better crops.
