“FARM TOPICS ~ First Come, First Served—Vege- table gardeners who get their seed orders in early stand the best chance of getting their favorite varieties, remind Penn State ex- tension vegetable specialists. Lists Feeding Practises—Dairy farmers interested in economical feeding for maximum production will find a number of helpful sug- gestions in Extension Circular 111, which is available at the offices of county agricultural agents. Guide to Planting— Observant growers noted buyer preference during the recent sale of Christmas determine selections for new plantings to be made this Spring. Pennsylvania leads all states in home-grown yule trees. Heavy Foreign Needs—Food ex- ports may total one-tenth of our entire agricultural production in 1948, the bulk of it in grains, fats, and oils, with present indications that foreign shipments under the Marshall Plan will continue heavy for at least four years. Good Investment— Not much equipment or space is needed to organize a useful farm repair center. A few hours time spent in sharpen- ing and getting tools in shape, and cleaning out waste material are a good investment. trees to . OUR DEMOCRACY by Mat © “Our reliance is inthe love il Hpi Hal WN © 1 ) e/ Cie — of liberty which God has “ With malice toward none: oil] planted in us. Our defense is in the spirit which prized liberty as the heritage of all men inall lands everywhere.” | CHI with charity for all; with firmness in the right,as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in..todoall = which may achieve ajust and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.” I (l all 7 2 ] 7 a =" NS TELL, zz ~~ ~< Te a), IN7a, SA : —- y= 7 C “that this nation,under God, shall havea new birth of freedom, and that government _ of the people, by the people, for the people shall not peris from the earth.’ EXPRESSING SIMPLY AND WITH DIGNITY, THE THOUGHTS 7 AND FEELINGS OF THE PEOPLE, THESE WORDS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN WILL LIVE FOREVER IN THE HEARTS OF ALL AMERICANS ~ STANDING BEFORE ALL THE © WORLD AS A STATEMENT OF THE PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES OF OUR DEMOCRACY. By d’Alessio THESE WOME Sm N! a _ am | “Hmf! I think your father DELIBERATELY lends the liwn mower to all the neighbors.” STRICTLY BUSIN ESS by McFeatters Check for Earthworms—Earth- worms in house plant pots, unless discovered and removed, may plug up drainage holes and puddle the soil. Protect Evergreens—Tying ever- greens and shrubs corn-shock fashion, not too tightly, protects them from being broken by snow or ice. Orchard May Need Lime—No or- chard fertilizer practice is complete or adequate unless proper soilscon- ditions are created through the use of required lime applications. To determine lime requirements, make soil tests. These can be made at the office of the county agricultural agent. Suggest Lower Feed Hoppers— Lowering the height of hoppers to permit hens to stand on the floor while eating encourages added mash consumption and increases egg pro- “duction. Hoppers must not be too wide or too deep or some feed will go uneaten and wasted. Solve Labor Shortages—By using built-up litter programs, chutes, and hoists in poultry houses, many Pennsylvania poultrymen are reduc- ing their labor requirements. Manure Protects Winter Grain— A light top dressing of manure put on winter grain when the ground is frozen helps protect the young plants. Repair Farm Machines— Mowers and other farm machines often re- quire new bearings and other parts which farmers can install them- selves and save on repairs, say ex- tension agricultural engineers.
