NEARLY 200 FARME RS WITH THEIR
WIVES AND FAMI LIES , MAKE
TOUR OF LOWER DAUPHIN
COUNTY
That the farmers of Dauphin County
are doing all they can to help win th e
war was clearl y proven by the auto tri p
made last Thursday by nearl y 200 farmers
and their wives and families. The tour
was arranged by H. G. Nissley, Dauphin
County Farm Agent , an d the cars left
Market Square shortly after 8 o'clock ,
returnin g about 6 o'clock in the evening.
At every stop, the talk was of how
the. production of food or livestock,
now so vitally needed by America and
her Allies, could be increased and the
talks given at various points by experts
in their line were listened to with the
closest attention by the farmers.
The first stop made was at the Bonny-mead
Dair y Farm just east of Paxtan g
where Hiram Billett, manager of th e farm ,
explained in detail the secret of his great
success in raising alfalfa. This farm has
fifty acres of this specie of grass and every
field is^elding big. Many of the tourists
were amaz ed when Billett told them that
it was an eight-year stand they were look-ing
at and that the only work which it
required in all that time was the job of
cutting off a big crop three times a year.
The advantages of the nourishing
grass were explained by Agent Nissley
who pointed out that it had only one per
cent less feeding value than bran and was
easily handled.
The dairy ' herd of registered Hol-steins
was greatly admired by the visitors
as were the sanitary surroundings in
which they were sheltered. According to
Mr. Billett, the herd averaged nearly
eighteen quarts of milk per day, day in
and day out.
The modern silos were also inspected
Farmers Make
Profitable Tri p
and the methods of feeding ensilage dur-ing
the Winter months described.
A good field of June clover, alfalfa
and alsike was next inspected at the
farm of F. B. Snavely, who explained
how he dressed the soil for the best re-sults.
The party next stopped at the farm
of A. B. Shenk, just outside of Her-shey,
where an interesting experiment in
fertilization is being conducted by the
Farm Bureau. The test is being made to
determine the relative value of high and
low priced fertilizers. Four plots of
ground were used for the test, one being
fertilized with a one per cent, ammonia
and a ten per cent, phosphoric acid pre-paration
; another with no fertilizer at all ;
a third with fourteen per cent, acid phos-phote,
and the fourth a three per cent, am-monia
and an eight per cent, phos-phoric
acid fertilizer.
Mr. Nissley, the farm agent pointed
out that plot number three, on which
the acid phosphate compoun d was used
showed just as good results if not better
than plot number four where the high
priced compound was used. The acid
phosphate fertilizer costs just about one-half
what the ammonia preparation
used on plot four costs, and the farm
agent asked the farmers to pass the re-sult
of the experiment along to their
neighbors who were unable to make the
trip.
The Hershe y Indu stnal School was
next visited where the Farm Bureau
and the boys of the school are conducting
a corn variety test with a view to finding
out just what corn gives the greatest
yield in the soil about Hershey.
Stopovers were made at the big Her-shey
round barn , the hog farm and the
calf barn.
Addresses were made in Hershey Park
by H. H. Havner and G. S. Bulkley, of
State College.
TO THE HOLDERS OF THE FIRST
AND SECOND ISSUE OF FOUR
PER CENT LIBERTY
BONDS
A ruling has been made by the U. S.
Treasury that holders of the First and
Second 4 per cent Converted and Un-converted
Liberty Bonds, can convert
at par into the next issue of higher rate
bonds issued during the period of the
war, except short term 5 year bonds.
This means that holders of either of
the above issues of Liberty Bonds who
desire to avail themselves of the privi-lege
of conversion into an issue bearing
a higher rate of intere st , are compelleS
to make exchange of their 4 per cent bonds
for 3rd issue or 4 1-2 per cent bonds be-fore
November 4, 1918.

The conference is over. Silent are the
halls and corridors of the big auditorium
that has greeted thousands of vista s
during the past week. They had con e
from every land and from every clinii.

was one of the best conferences held iri

Conference. From a half dozen different
quarters came the request to make it Ja
bi-centennial observance of the landing of
Peter Becker and his party in America,
they being the first members of the Church
of the Brethren to come to this land of
freedom. The Conference heeded the de-mand

prepare a program for the occasion, not
only at the General Conference but [a
general outline to be followed out in trie
various churches during the|next year, f
