Sterret’s Gap. Here the first stop
was made, and after the kiddies
“stretched their legs” they were
treated to a plate of ice cream and
soft drinks.
After a thirty minute stop, they
proceeded westward, destination
still unknown. Thaey passed thru
Loysville, the site of the Lutheran
Orphanage and west thru Perry
County to Blain, New Germantown,
the next stop being at Buck Rridge
Lodge, at the eastern point of the
Rising Mountain, and the extreme
west end of Perry County.
This hunting, fishing and recrea-
tion lodge is owned by Messrs. A.
D. Garber, George Mumper, James
Berrier and the editor. Here the
entire party nad lunch. The large
table in the dining room was soon
laden with eatables, ard the Scout
Leaders and their young assistants
proceeded to prepare the food,
lemonade, etc.
After about an hour's rest the
entire party, thirty-two to be exact,
left on a hike. They walked up
Rising Mountain about three miles,
then south about a mile into Fowl-
Hollow,
the creek
thence east following
to of the State's
newest, yet one of the finest recrea-
er
one
tion parks to be found thruout
Pennsylvania.
The hike was about six miles
and proved quite interesting to
the Scouts as it was so far different
from any they had ever taken.
Many things of natural interest
such as plants, flowers, trees, snakes
and many other subjects were dis-
cussed by the party.
When they arrived at the park,
Mr. Mervin Arnold, the
chauffeur of the bus; had brought
the entire equipment, including his
capable
car and food from Buck Ridge
Lodge to the Park. After several
hours of recreation by the giils,
they were divided into patrols;
each ‘was proportioned their “ra-
tions”, went to an open fire place
of which there are at least a dozen,
and prepared their food.
This consisted of
sauer kraut, ham and cheese sand-
on
roast doggies,
wiches, angels
yum yum—toasted
apples, oranges, bananas, pretzels,
etc.
Each patrol prepared its focd,
Pp I
made its own fire, cleaned up, ex-
tinguished the fire and reported to
the leaders as they said: “Pretty
well filled”.
At six o'clock they departed from
the park on {he homeward journey.
That they were a jolly crowd

The outing was a decided suc-

high spirits all day and just had a
dandy time.

TURKEY PRODUCTION
IS MAJOR INDUSTRY
Nearly $70,000,000 worth of tur-
keys (at farm prices) were pro-
duced last year, reports the bureau
cultural economies. This fig-
as somewhat less than for
1937. but was larger than in any
year in the current decade,
probably the second largest
in the history of the industry.
Since 1929 the production of tur-
keys has increased more than 56
per cent—from less than 17.000.C00
birds in that year to more than 26,-
000,000 in 1938. Peak of production
during the decade was nearly 28,-
of ag
other
000,000 turkeys in 1936. Highest
prices during the 10-year period
were in 1929, lowest in 1933. The
1938 average—$2.66 per bird—was
about 16 per cent lower than in 1929.
Principal turkey-producing states
in 1938 were Texas (3,285.000 birds),
California (2,625,000), Minnesota, (2,-
145,000), Oklahoma (1,418,000), Towa
(1,386,000), North Dakota (1,265,000),
and Oregon (1,265,000), About 40
per cent of the 1938 crop was raised
in the 12 North Central states as
contrasted with only 30 per cent
in 1929.
Expansion of the turkey industry
during the last 10 years is attributed
chiefly to improvements in produc-
jon and management methods
whieh have lessened the mortality
of poults and lowered production
costs in competition with chickens
and other meats, Production of tur-
keys in small farm flocks has de-
creased in most areas, but this has
been more than offset by increased
numbers of large flocks which are
kept separate from other poultry
and handled under improved meth-
ods of sanitation, feeding, and mar-
keting.
Flexible Farm Lease
Aids Tenant, Landlord
The Farm Security administration
has distributed within the past year
1,000,000 copies of its written lease
form designed to improve rental ar-
rangements between farm tenants
and landlords. Both have applied
in large numbers for this “Flex-
ible Farm lease’ which is intended
to take the place of oral agree-
ments that still prevail in many sec-
tions of the country.
The ‘rental rates’ clause carries
a suggested form for stating exactly
the share of each crop or the cash
payment the tenant is to give the
landlord.
Another matter of concern to the
landlord and tenant is the annual
renewal of their contract. Leasing
from year to year is a prevalent
tenure practice. In many cases this
procedure works to the disadvantage
of both parties. Tenants hesitate to
initiate crop rotations; landlords
hesitate to make changes or repairs
in buildings which may not be need-
ed by succeeding tenants.
To provide for such cases the
“Flexible Farm lease” contains an
“automatic renewal” clause. This
clause in effect causes the lease to
remain in full force until either par-
ty wishes to terminate his contract,
Termination of the lease is in ac-
cordance with a period of notice
fixed in the contract.
Save the Manure
The entie is being pre-
sented for their first appearance at
Mount Gretna Park at a very low

Approximately 10 tons of manure
! are produced annually for each 1,000
i pounds of live weight of stock kept
|on the farm. This manure contains
plant food elements to make it
| worth around $2.50 a ton at com-
mercial fertilizer prices. Besides it
provides organic matter for the soil,
' something essential to crop produc-
tion. Of course, this value is de-
pendent upon the manner in which
| the manure is conserved and ap-
i plied. More than a third of the
nitrogen and two-thirds of the potas-
sium are in the liquid portion of
the manure. This drains away un-
| less sufficient bedding is used to ab-
sorb it. Also there is a loss where
the manure is left piled up subject
to the weather.

Last year, according to the U. S.

approximately 1,000,000 persons
moved off farms, while 800,000
moved from towns and cities to

Present information indicates that
the 1939 pig crop, which includes
both fall and spring litters, will total
83,000,000 head. This will exceed the
1938 figure by nearly 12,000,000 and
will lack only 1,000,000 of equaling
the record production in 1933.
