went to be sent in about six weeks!
- •*« - ’ 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** 1 century began, through
the Depression and on to the tremendous contrast of biotechnology.
The response in sales has been almost overwhelming. And after we 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.

Our regular routine has been
interrupted as Allen has now
had his hip replacement just a
few months after his triple
bypass. Our youngest daughter
was with me previously, when he
had operations, but this time I
sat and waited alone.
Don’t spend a day or even six
hours in a surgical waiting room
by yourself if you do not
absolutely have to. As you sit
there hour after hour, listening
to the phone calls telling other
people that the operation went
well, you wonder when your

your call will come.
Reading will help to pass the
time. Drinking a cup of tea will
help. But, nothing is better than
having a friend or relative to
talk to.
Sometimes the family is sum
moned to a meeting with their
pastor and you know the out
come might not be good. Allen
came through the operation
okay and is anxious to come
home. But, he must go through
rehabilitation. It will be a long
winter.

ers keep me busy as I have quite
a few Many are blooming as I
potted both white and pink
begonias and lavender and
salmon impatiens this fall. My
dark pink cactus bloomed after
Christmas and I was given two
poinsettia plants. I even kept
another poinsettia for my
daughter-in-law when her fami
ly spent 10 days in Illinois and
Indiana.
Our youngest daughter sends
me many flowers. We got a big
table arrangement of red and
pink carnations for our
Christmas open house. Just the
other day she sent her father a
big basket of fruit and nuts
It is nice to be remembered
whether we are in good health or
bad health.
