Arthur E. Brown of Nottingham implements strip farming and soil conservation on his Lancaster County farm. A view shows his farmhouse across a pond with Guernsey cattle grazing and strip cropping visible in the background, illustrating practical agri practices.
Harrisburg reports from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture show a 1956 peach crop of 2 450 000 bushels, down 450 000 from 1955 but above the 1945 54 average by 139 000. Sweet cherries and pears suffered severe losses from May frosts, with 700 tons forecast for sweet cherries versus 1 300 last year and 1 100 average. pears pegged at 80 000 bushels, down from 140 000 in 1955 and the 188 000 average.
The note indicates ongoing anticipation for the airborne platform to accommodate family size, with a focus on meeting specific capacity needs and usability requirements for future deployment.
The article profiles Mr. Brown, Lancaster County conservation leader and first president of the Lancaster County Soil Conservation District formed in 1938. It covers his contour stripping method on 60 cropped acres, dairy shift, farm family, and roles as church trustee, bank director, and community organizer.
