EN ——— “Penna. ‘Department of Highways THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO. PA. Typical scenic vista unfolding before motorists in northern central Pennsylvania. Rocky walls of the Allegheny Plateaus tested engineering skill in carving 2a roadway for famous Bucktail Trail between Lock Haven and Emporium. More than $3,000,000 was spen dise.” This is the thirteenth of a series of articles prepared under the direction of Warren Van Dyke, Secretary of High- ways, in a campaign to stimulate in- terest in the tourist and recreational advantages of Pennsylvania. Today’s story deals with the vacation possibili- ties of the Keystone State in northern central Pennsylvania. The Bucktail Trail, connecting Lock Haven with Emporium, St. Mary’s and Ridgway and providing a favorite route for travelers between Buffalo and Har- risburg, runs through picturesque val- leys and hills, rich in historical back- ground and tradition. The first purchase of forest land by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for reforestation purposes, was made along this trail in 1898 and since then the Forestry Department has added thousands of acres, through which numerous forests are maintained by the State. Wild life on these forest pre- serves is plentiful, and the counties through which the Trail passes, Clin- ton, Cameron and Elk, are favorite hunting areas. great scenic highways of the East. The crews that constructed the highway, which was opened in 1930, met a ber of mountain families who had nev- er seen an automobile. Though the lumbering days are gone the forests through which the Bucktail Trail passes are regaining their old grandeur. The Trail is one of the few highways of the state which passes through country abounding in moun- tain peaks and far-flung forest areas. Within easy access of the Trail are 3,000 fishing and hunting camps and about 12,000 miles of trout streams. These facilities will be expanded rapid- ly in the near future, it is expected, with the development of the Bucktail State Park and Pleasureland, a long stretch of forest and farm land from Lock Haven to Emporium, in which recreational facilities will be cultivated under the regulation of the State De- partment of Forests and Waters. Just west of Lock Haven, the Buck- ail Trail passes through lands which have produced coal, oil, and gas, as ll as timber. Near Queen's Run and Farrandsville, on the opposite side of he river from the highway, lie the al t to tap “North Woods” and “Sportsmen’s Para- four rafts at Driftwood. They floated down the river to Harrisburg, gather- ing recruits as they went, their woods- men’s garb, featured by the bucktail insignia on their caps, giving them their name. They formed the nucleus around which was organized the Bucktail Reg- iment of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, attached to the Army of the Potomac throughout the Civil War. A monument to these unique riflemen is erected at Driftwood, Pennsylvania. Construction of the Trail, which is of concrete and macadam, started in 1926 and continued for four years, capping almost forty years of effort on the part of the inhabitants of central Pennsyl- vania to bring about construction of a road to connect towns which were almost neighbors, so far as the actual distance between them, but were far apart by highway. In Clinton County, for instance, the county seat at Lock Haven could not be reached by the residents of Renovo, 27 miles away, by any highway route except a narrow, rough road which almost doubled the distance.

By Dr. Robert Graham, Chief in Animal Pathology, College of Agriculture, Uni- versity of Illinois —WNU Service. Disease organisms, worms and coc- cidiosis germs which are found in con- taminated and constitute the greatest menace to poultry produc- tion can be controlled only by proper management, including the rotation or cropping of poultry yards. No medicine will correct the ail- ments caused by “chicken sick” ground, notwithstanding the claims of remedy venders to the contrary. All intestinal and parasitic diseases of chickens, as well as contagious germs such as coccidiosis, are spread by the droppings of Infected fowls. Thus the soil of many poultry yards becomes an incubator or seed bed for the propagation and spread of these diseases. To overcome the development of dis- ease germs, poultrymen who hope to reap a profit from their efforts must rear their chicks on clean ground and plow, cultivate and crop the old chicken yards. Rotation of the poultry range so that it is used but once in every four years is a profitable practice on farms where this can be done. In cases where extensive rotation of the poultry range is not possible, keep- ing the chickens out of the yard until the ground can be plowed and a new seeding gets well started is helpful. For summer planting, a combination ot oats and rape makes a satisfactory mixture. An ordinary farm disc is probably the most satisfactory tool to use in working the poultry yard, al- though a plow may do just as well. The latter implement, however, tends to bring to the surface the contamina tion which has been plowed under the previous year, soil Clean Incubator Before It Is Placed in Storage At the close of the hatching season, when we are in the rush work of car ing for brooder chicks, feeding the growing flock, with possibly garden work or perhaps bees to care for, we are apt to overlook the necessity of PAGE SEVEN Lancaster Stock Market CORRECT INFORMATION FUR- NISHED WEEKLY BY THE PA.
