It la the tobacco harvest season In Lancaster County, and Beiler, his wife, Mary, and his five children were flanked by other Amid) families cutting the waist-nigh plants and hauling them in to 100-year-old barns to be hung from the rafters and air-cured. The crop, worth $2,000 an acre, is one Of Better's principal sources of income, but by no means the only one. On his 80-r acre farm, Beiler raises corn and alfalfa to feed 50 milk cows.

At a time when leading agricultural economists have declared the small commercial family farm a relic, Lancaster County's L200 Amish farm families are thriving.

Sloping "fertile Lancaster County is crowded with white farmhouses and silos spring -from the valleys like silver-topped 'mushrooms. THERE'S NO SECRET" said Beiler. "We've been blessed with fertile ground, and we work, maybe too hard." Despite this modesty, some agricultural authorities insist that Amish farm practices and economics are another indication that the get-big-or-get-out theory that has dominated American farming for more than 30 years may no longer be valid. Amish farmers protect themselves from the cycles of boom and bust in agriculture by operating diverse production systems. Most have herds of milk cows and grow feed com, alfalfa, hay, wheat, tobacco, vegetables and fruits.

Some raise poultry and cattle. Others breed horses and raise mules. fus, explained strength. He helped one another at planting and har vesting and that'they were ty. "We have to eat," he said.

(AP) Some people thought Dr. Albert Leffingwell's tale of coins buried on his central New York estate was just the good-natured ram- blings of a man trying to amuse his son. Not anymore.

The secret Leffingwell passed on to his 6-year-old son, Thomas, decades ago started an off-and-on treasure hunt that the son carried to the grave. Now the legend has been revived with the discovery of at least $10,000 in coins and a booty of 19th century toys in a secret "We were very surprised and shook up," said Ann Lawrence, who was mar-. ried to Leffingwell until his death in 1974. She still owns the 140-year-old Italianate home overlooking Cayuga Lake where the treasure was uncovered. "WE NEVER KNEW about this," she said Tuesday.

"We knew about the other location where a treasure was supposed to be, but not this one." Two workmen found the coins, toys and three much-traveled steamer trunks filled with historical items last weekend after stumbling upon a hidden room while helping the Lawrences restore the once-majestic home. The secret room is located on the third floor of the house beyond a baffling series of stairs, turns and musty rooms and hallways. A handleless wooden door to the room matched perfectly the wooden wall in which it was set A desk and shelves further conceal the door. "I had Just served (the workmen) coffee, as I always do at about 10 am," Mrs. Lawrence said in an Interview with the Auburn Citizea "And that day I happened to tell them the treasure story.

They went back to work, and minutes years of speculation of whether the tale Albert Leffingwell, a physician, told his goes that the doctor, a trav who served in 1905 and consul to Warsaw, was young Tom the tree he were buried under when away to attend to a pa Leffingwell died In 1917 and learned the location of the Neither did he ever forget treasure, said Mrs. Lawrence. vain until his death. who said the family decided to do with the treasures, stilt isn't convinced that bury any coins. going to know if there "But wsll keep an eye son was true.

Warner said her notice did not indicate If the offer was good nationwide, but said she thought it was. GM had intended to announce the low interest rates at a news conference Thursday in Detroit but word leaked out early as dealers who had been wired by GM about the new rates contacted newspapers to change their advertisements. target has been to have a 60day model and 8.9 percent to 9.9 60 months, depending on They are offered through General Motors Acceptance Corp, GM's whoDy owned financing unit loan rates at banks vary na are close to 10 percent in New car tionwide but many cases. cently have Most interest rates nationwide re fallen sharply.
