Superior Spuds Inspectors Grade State Potatoes for Shipping New varieties of potatoes and a new type of potato inspection program will combine to give Pennsylvania housewives a "superior of agriculture disclosed this week, spud service," the state department It was pointed out to Pennsylvania News Service that in recent experiments through cross breeding several superior Varieties of potatoes have been developed, but that although adapted to Pennsylvania farming conditions, they still need field testing before they can be grown commercially. Meanwhile on the potato inspection front, under the new program now in effect, inspectors grade all potatoes that cooperating growers plan to ship out of state, with ten trained inspectors now assigned to the program. William L. Henning, secretary of agriculture, said that the department is stressing enforcement of the potato grade marketing law, noting that during the 1954-55 sea son there' were 92 prosecutions for violation of the law. It was noted at the same time that the great majority of offenders were dealers and shippers.

Agents examined nearly 7,000 lots of potatoes on the wholesale and retail levels, including 4,235 lots from Pennsylvania farms.

DOOR PRIZES I I i Shows 46 Per Cent Live Through Winter Birds Help Destroy Farmers of Pennsylvania last year suffered an estimated loss' of $1,445,000 in reductions to their corn crops through damage by the European corn borer, Dr. Wrilliam L.

Henning, state secretary of agri culture, declared this week. Through evidence obtained in surveys just completed by the state bureau of plant industry, he said only 46 per cent of the bor ers have lived through the winter. This is sufficient to cause considerable damage again this year un less control practices are adopted by farmers, he cautioned, The 1955 corn losses were nearly half a million dollars more than in the previous year when infestation was much lower, department rec ords show. Woodpeckers, crows and possibly pheasants contributed most to the destruction of corn borers this past fall and winter by pecking them from, stalks and stubble left standing in corn fields, Dr. Henning said.

Birds accounted for 81 per cent of the borer kill. Parasitic flies killed 19 per cent, according to estimates from field examinations. When agents of the department examined corn fields for the pres ence of borers last summer and fall they found the insects in an average of 32 out of each 100 stalks. Each infested stalk con-tamed an average of 1.42 borers. This compares with 1.9 borers in an average of only about 10 stalks infested out of each 100 examined in 1954.

There will be further reduction of corn borers during the pupation season some time in April, Dr. Henning said. But, he added, favorable weather conditions during the growing season could bring on heavy infestation. He suggested that farmers plant com as early as possible and plow down standing stubble to a depth that would cause living borers to smother. Official estimates place the hunting season kill of rails, gal-Hnules and coots in Pennsylvania at 7,709 against 6,257 in 1954.

i AGENT TO Paul L. Edinger to Conclude Work at Penn State After 46 Years of Work Organized DHIA Here Cumberland county's first farm agent will retire from active work on July 1 when Paul L. Edinger, assistant director of agricultural and home economics extension at Penn State, will conclude his work. Mr. Edinger will complete 46 years of educational work when he retires in July.

He has held the rank of professor of agricultural extension' and by action of the board of trustees at the university will retire with the rank of profes sor emeritus. Coming to Cumberland county to organise extension work 39 years ago in April, Mr. Edinger served in Cumberland county for 12 years until 1929 when he transferred to Penn State as assistant director. Kutztown Grad A native of Reading where he was born and reared on a farm in Cumru township, Mr. Edinger was graduated in 1910 from Kutztown State Teachers college and taught for four years in Berks county schools.

Deciding on agriculture as a career, he enrolled at Fenn State in 1914 and was graduated two and one half years later. He taught vocational agriculture at Mt. Pleas ant high school for three months. On Apr. 24, 1917 be was named to the university extension staff as county agent and assigned to Cumberland county, which he organized for extension work.

Until two years ago he served statewide, devoting his attention largely to county office organization, and since 1954 has been directly in charge of the extension program in the 16-county Southwestern region of the State. His area includes the counties of Mif flin, Huntingdon, Fulton, Bedford, Somerset, Fayette, Greene, Washington, Blair, Cambria, Armstrong, Butler, Beaver, Allegheny, Westmoreland, and Indiana. In Cumberland county he organ i7ed dairy herd improvement as- sociation work, developed a coun-tywide dairy show, initiated a fruit spray service for orchardists, conducted a farm products show, formed a county potato growers' association and assisted potato farmers in obtaining disease-free seed in carload lots. Organized Pioneer Club He organized the Cumberland county 4-H Baby Beef club, now in its 31st year and oldest club of its kind in continuous operation in the state. His club members were among the first 4-H Baby Beef grand champions at the Pennsylvania Farm Show.

His 4-H program included also a one acre po tato club which operated the county's first cooperative spray service, a horse drawn rig, for control of insects and plant diseases. i He and Mrs. Edinger, the former Helen Woods, of Oakville, Cumber-hmd county, have two sons, Robert Woods, Elmont, L.

Pa. PHONE and butterfat if they have at least six weeks to two months of rest between lactations. John H. Withrow, assistant county agent in Cumberland says that was proved from a summary of dairy herd improvement association records of 3,500 dairy cows. Comparisons on results of various rest periods for cows were as follows: Holsteins dry less than two weeks produced 347 pounds of butterfat and 9,511 pounds of milk; those dry two weeks to a month, 390 pounds of butterfat and pounds of milk; cows dry four to six weeks, 404 pounds of fat and 11,218 pounds of milk and those dry six to eight weeks, 413 pounds of butterfat and 11,567 pounds of milk.

Figures for other breeds are in the same proportion The average was slightly higher for cows given eight to 10 weeks of vacation. But, Mr. Withrow in dicates, the difference probably wasn't great enough to pay for the extra feed needed. FARM POULTRY FLOCKS SEEN UP IN 1956 1955 Hatch of 75,623,000 Is 5th Largest On Record for State Hatch More in '56 Increases in numbers of chickens can be expected on Pennsylvania farms following a record-high production of chicks by commercial hatcheries of the State during February and March, the state department of agriculture announced this week. The February hatch totaled chicks intended for flock re placements and for broiler and fry er production, according to federal state surveys.

The output was 12 per cent above February a year ago and three per cent above the previous record of 9,801,000 for that month, established in 1954, the department said. For the first two months of this year the Pennsylvania hatchery production comes to 17,791,000 compared with 14,742,000 for the same January -February period in 1955, an advance of nearly 21 per cent. Hatching of chicks for the trade continued at ihigh levels in February, 18 per cent above the same month last year. The non broiler hatch of 112,000 was up eight per cent from February 1955. Increased hatchings were expected in Pennsylvania during March, the department said.

Eggs in incu- jbators in the Middle Atlantic states this month show an advance of 1G cent over March of last year. According to revised estimates, the total Pennsylvania chick hatch for all of last is hu calab-lished at 75,623,000, the fifth largest of record. This compares with the record annual hatch of registered in 1953. Nationally, February chick production totaled 198 million, largest of record for the month. 1st Quarter Tax Payments Are Due The internal revenue service has issued a reminder that social se curity and excise tax returns for the first quarter of 1955 are due with remittance by Apr.

McGinnes, director of the 23 county Philadelphia internal revenue district, said this week that Forms 941, covering payment of social security and withholding taxes; Forms 942, covering social security taxes of household employers; and Forms 720, covering quarterly excise tax payments, have been mailed to all registered employers. Mr.

McGinnes added that these foims arc all pre addressed and pie numbered by addiessograph plates, and emphasized that the imprinted forms should be used to make the returns in order to in-' sure credit to the proper accounts.

The director warned taxpayers that full remittance of the tax due must accompany the return forms. Employers whose social security and withholding taxes exceed $100 per nmntn must make monthly deposit of those taxes in a federal depositary, and should attach the' poilaiy leceipts to tl.e return! form.
