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.

—
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.

OBSERVATIONS at the re-
cent County Tobacco Show
reflect the high quality of the
1965 crop on many farms;
the leaves of tobacco were
open-grained and had consid-
erable stretch and size;; from
the hands on exhibit it would
appear that tobacco sheds
include some top quality to-
bacco. Now the question ari-
ses as to the delay on the
part of buyers in bidding on
the crop.
