Century of Farming
*
The first shipment of Century of Farming has already sold out.
Century of Farming is the book that recalls family involvement
and the historic significance of agriculture's heritage in the last 100 years. This treasure
chest of memories includes 120 pages of old photographs from the family albums
of readers of Lancaster Farming. In addition, Editor Newswanger has written a preface
that takes you from the "Golden Age" of agriculture as the 20 ,h century began, through
the Depression and on to the tremendous contrast of biotechnology.
The response in sales has been almost overwhelming. And after vve ran out of the book, we
still had a big stack of orders from disappointed people who really wanted a copy--
especially after they saw it. Therefore we have arranged with the printer to do another run
to fill the orders we have in hand and some extra for those who still would like to send in
for a copy. We expect delivery to be in about six weeks.
If you have sent us a check, money order, or put your order on a credit card we will apply
your order toward one from the next shipment, unless you tell us not to. If you want to still
order a book(s) use this order form and send it to Lancaster Farming today.
Orders will be taken on a first-come basis.

Lancaster
Society 14
Lancaster Farm Women Society
14 enjoyed its last meeting of the
century with a dinner at Willow
Valley Restaurant on Dec. 9.
Members of the Clifford Mast
family, ages 5,8, and 12 with
mother Shirley provided rendi
tions of beautiftil Christmas music
featuring violins.
Carol Gockley, the proverbial “bird woman”
presented a program on “Strictly for Birds.” The
dramatic and humorous talk revealed Carol’s
extensive knowledge on distinguishing features,
habits, and songs of many birds. She brought part
of her exotic collection of live birds to show how
they can be trained with love and patience.
On Nov. 10, Janet Leaman’s daughter, Lynet
te Jerchau, opened her home in East Petersburg
for a meeting. Bags of non-perishable food were
left on her porch to be given to Christ’s Home,
Paradise.
Surrounded by festive Call decorations made
lunch a special experience. Alter a devotional
reading on Psalm 19 by Jean Groff, President
Polly Stoltzfus gave a report on the Nov. 4th visit
to Conestoga View to play Bingo with patients
and friends. The report on the County Conven
tion on Nov. 6 at the Farm and Home Center was
highlighted by music of “The Messiah Messen
gers. The theme, ‘Tea Cups from Here and
There,” featured stories by Beatrice Messner.
Each of the cups she had with her reminded her
of a story from the many countries to which she
traveled. In addition to cups, Beatrice presented
lots of information about teas. The story of the
clay that hated what was happening to it—being
spun and heated to become gorgeous led to
Bea’s application of being clay in the Master’s
hand.
The October meeting was waved in favor of a
joint meeting with ladies from all the county
societies meeting at Donecker’s Restaurant for a
brunch and fashion show.
During the September meeting, members met
at Gladys Esbenshade’s home hosted by Viola
Hostetler and Eileen McComas.
The very traditional auction was led by Anna
Marie Groff working hard to get good prices for
various food items.
In August, a family picnic was held hosted by
Rhoda Landis, Ruth Kreider, and Jean Groff.
Guest speaker Paul Wickerd, a bee keeper had
with him a case of live bees. The nature of the bee
is a fascinating part of God’s creation.
Thanks to all members who helped with the
food stand at the com maze under the supervision
of Gladys Esbenshade.
The July 14th meeting was a Car-O-Rama,
with a surprise destination that took members to
the backyard of Wilbur Segrist, Lititz. Members
were awed by waling among the many categor
ized flown beds, from wildflowers to the exotic.
