Calling Wendell Berry (Maybe Not)

So, you want to buy a house in the country?

Some Lebanon County [Pennsylvania] officials want to warn you that it might stink.

To drive the point home, they are developing a brochure that features scratch 'n sniff manure.

"Farming sometimes means late hours, fertilizer, pesticides and manure," said Angie Foltz, natural resources program specialist for the Lebanon County Agricultural Preservation Board. "This is to educate people that if they have a farmer for a neighbor, they might have manure smells."

The scratch 'n sniff smell, which Foltz called "quite pungent" is coming from a company in Chattanooga, Tenn., called "Print a Scent." Its Web site lists more than 150 scents for sale, including anchovy, toothpaste and ashtray as well as familiar fruits, flowers and foods.
