Research and experience has shown that late August to early September would be the best period for these seedings in southeastern Pennsylvania. At this time of the season cooler and more wet weather usually occurs, which will be ideal for the starting of the new grass plants. In some years the entire month of September would be suitable for new seedings when rainfall is adequate late into the fall. A complete soil test should be made prior to the seed- ing in order to know the needs of the soil. THE harvesting of the 1968 tobacco crop has started and many growers are expecting a very good crop; the one problem facing most growers is to get the crop properly cured after it gets into the shed. With ample moisture this summer there will be large amounts of juice in the leaves and stalks which should be removed as quick- ly as possible; sometimes, we do not get the right kind of weather to do this fast en- ough. Therefore, the use of supplemental fans with or without heat might be help- ful. We urge growers to give this some thought and use fans as much as possible to move the air through the sheds; if heat units are used on real heavy crops, it might mean the difference between good and poor quality. THE SEEDING of winter ‘ grains should be getting some attention from local growers; the ordering of special vari- eties of grains should be done soon; the use of certified seed of adapted strains will help take out the risk of a poor crop. The ground should be tested and the lime work- ed into the soil this fall prior to seeding. The practice of broadcasting the lime on top of the winter grain next spring is not to be recom- mended. For fields that are to be seeded down to legumes next spring and need lime, it is most important that the lime be applied this fall and worked into the topsoil. Growers should allow 10 days to two weeks to get re- sults from a complete soil test. PENNSYLVANIA forage pro- gress days are schedued to be held at Hershey Farms August 27, 28, and 29; this three-day event will be very worthwhile for all farmers and their wives. A special ladies program is scheduled for the 28th and 29th. The latest in forage equipment will be displayed and demon- strated; variety plots of many kinds of grasses and other forage crops will be ready for inspection. A spec- ial brochure giving details of this big event is available from our Extension Office. We urge local farmers and agri-business concerns to in- held by Miss Dorothy Engle. The latter has enrolled in Millersville State coilege but will continue to be school board secretary. Mrs. Fry's place will be taken in the high school office by Mrs. H. Avis Johns. Resignation of Dr. John S. Gates as school doctor for the high school, junior high and Kraybill school was ac- cepted. clude one or more days of this activity on their sched- ule. EVICTION OF THE ALLIGATORS Alligators, together with other forms of wildlife native to southern Florida, are be- ing evicted from their homes in the Everglades National Park. Already birds, otter, and deer by the thousands have departed from their homes of long standing. The immediate reason for this wholesale eviction is the worst drought in more than two decades. Sun-cracked mud is replacing the streams and waterholes which form the basis of life in the Ever- glades park. The current drought follows several years of less severe dry spells, re- sulting in a cumulative effect. Systematic drainage of the sponge-like terrain north of the park for housing and in- dustry has, according to bio- logists, largely removed the underground reservoirs upon which the park depended in dry weather, Man-made can- als now funnel water past the park to the sea. A balance must be struck between the demand for Spanish-style split-level hous- es and the watery habitat re quired by wildlife in the park. A national treasure, paid for by national tax dol- lars, need not be sacrificed to indiscriminate develop- ment. —Selected CHICKEN BARBECUE The Mount Joy Jaycees will hold a chicken barbecue on Saturday, August 24, at the Cove, from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. All proceeds from the af- fair will be used by the Jay- cees for improvement of the Cove property — a commu- nity project adopted by the young men. Principally, the barbecues will be ‘“takeouts” but tickets will be available at the Cove. PHONE IN YOUR NEWS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1 Murphy Shows Earnings Hike Net earnings of G. C.

Sales for the 6 months set a new record of $148,503,000 —up 7.3%. On June 30 there were 512 stores in operation compared with 508 a year ago. During the first half of 1968, 4 new stores were op- ened, 4 were closed and 10 renovated or enlarged. The company’s accelerated expansion program calls for opening 10 or more new stores in October, the largest number to be opened in one month in over 15 years. / 1-5/X ANAL SPINES. 2-SEVEN OR EIGHT DORSAL SPINES. 3- SPOTS SCATTERED [RREGULARLY .
