Entered as the post office at Mount Joy, Penna., as sec ond class mail under the Act — by Max Smith SUPPORTERS of the Lan- caster County Farm & Home Center will be glad to know that the building project is advancing and that ground will be broken for this new Center during the summer. Over a quarter million dol- lars have _ been paid or pledged and ten acres of ground is now owned by the Foundation. This means that there is only one way to move and that is forward. The fund campaign to obtain the additional one hundred thousand dollars is being continued both to agri-busi- ness and to the farmers of the county. I see this as a very worthwhile effort and the possibility of an educa- tional center that is badly needed; great progress has been made but additional help is needed to place this project on good financial footing. Contributions will be tax exempt and we urge lo- cal folks to give additional support; you might evaluate vour gift contributions on the income tax report and be surprised to learn just how much can be given with due credit and still keep the money within the county. I am told that very few people contribute to the permittable limit on their tax returns. I'd like to continue the plea for additional consideration for more funds for this pro- ject. WERE ALL aware of the presence of rabies among our domestic and wild animals. A recent report from Penn State University reveals that skunks are responsible for many cases of human rabies in neighbring states and a few cases in Pennsylvania. We warn against the catching and making pets out of small skunks or foxes because of this potential infection. Also, extreme care should be used in. handling stray dogs and cats especially during the summer months. Another sur- vey reveals that 75% of all U. S. rabies reported in the year 1964 occurred in wild- life species. of March 3, 1879. — crops in years to sell and we are sure the potential buyers have recognized this accom- plishment. I am not in pos- BY | session of the answers to many of these questions but want to repeat the sugges- tion that during the stripping operation that damaged and inferior leaves be kept sep- arate, and that only a mini- mum amount of water be used on the crop while in the tobacco cellar. Excess moisture is sure to decrease quality and buyer interest. SWINE producers might foc- us some additional attention on the problem of high baby pig mortality; we are told that the average number of pigs raised per sow in 1864 was 7.2 — only one pig per litter higher than in 1830. This is not much advance- ment in a 34 year periid. In one mid-western state only 70% of the pigs farrowed ev- er reach the market. per pig at weaning time largely depends upon the number raised per litter. Ad- ditional attention at farrow- ing time and during the first week of the baby pig's life should improve this situa- tion. The use of more strict sanitation measures, supple- heat at farrowing time, the use of minerals and vitamins in the ration, and more careful management should pay dividends. The swine business has often been mentioned as the “mortgage lifters” of farming; this same thought seems appropriate at this writing.
