Its Our Birthday Gift - To All of YOU
In launching the fourth year of Lan
castci Farming’s history the staff has
found need foi improvement in the paper’s
ability to serve Lancaster County’s farm
eis
As is pointed out on the fust page of
this first issue of om fourth year, next
■week will see some new additional fea-
tures
These include a new office in Lancaster,
placing us closer to the center of county
agriculture, moie extensive and intensive
coverage of farm news in the area and a
greatly improved mechanical operation.
All of these changes reflect the fact
that Lancaster Farming is growing, and
in its giowth is better able to serve its
ieaders
Lancastei Fanning came about because
there was a need foi its services.
County farmers, faced with the fact
that many community and area news
papeis were becoming more and more
centered, m their news coverage and ad
\ertismg aiound the steadily growing
town populations welcomed a local week
ly which specialized m their needs for
pi inted communication
Advertisers—faced w ith the desire
to tell their specific customers, the farm
ers of new services and products wel
comed Lancaster Farming’s ability to pre
sent messages quickly, efficiently and
economically
By cairying only news and advertis
ing of interest to farmers and their
families, and pioviding farm “dealeis”
with an effective adveitising medium, Lan

TO TOP-DRESS NEW LEGUMES The applica
tion ol strawy manure to a new legume seeding
•T that did not get too much fall growth is recom
mended during November or December The new
plants should have some protection from the con
i, slant fieezmg and thawing duung the winter.
New sepf^ln ss that leached at least 6 to 8 inches
of growth may not need this application on fertile
vjni sml,
TO PROTECT LATE CUT LEGUMES Some
H forage pioduceis have icnioved the last cutting
■B AvJHHB of alfalfa or clover too late to permit the desired
6‘ to 8 inches of growth before ficezing weather
Max Smith This means that the legume loots will be more
exposed to freezing this wmtei The application
of 6 to 8 tons per acre of trawey manuie this fall should help protect
the plants
TO PLAN CHICKWEED CONTROL The pioblem of chickweed
contiol exists on many local farms, this is especially tiue in new
seeding!, ol legumes or pastures With ideal growing conditions this
fall we can expect rank growth ol this wmtei-time weed One of the
best moans of control is to spray during late November or December
with ehloio-IPC at the late ot 2 pints (one pound) per acre when
the tempciatuie is below 50 degrees One ot the watei-soluble Dim
tros spiays mav be used at the rate ol 3 pints per acre when the
outside tcmperaliuc is 65 degiees or above The important thing to
i eep in mind is to sprav this fall ox early winter when the plants
are young rather than next winter or spring when the plants are

Buffeting, your biokon legs, your

was conceincd for these people’s
physical health, he made cures of

Body Supports Soul
The Chnstian chinch today is
coming awake to this fact Wo
knew it all the time, but now we
aie doing something about it The
gieat intei est m healing which is
now being shown by even the “old
line” chinches, the giowth of hos
pitals opeiated by the chinch, and
the contribution the dun dies make
(as in Boy Scout woik, in play
giounds and in good health msti ac
tion towaid preventive medicine,
are evidence of this ) A man who
has been raising funds for a Chus
uan hospital in the southern moun
tains wutes, “The appeal ... is
meeting with almost unbeheveable
success, thanks to the Gieat Gali
lean whose spa it is the challenge ”
One of the reasons why Christ
first, and the chinch after him,
have been mteiested in physical
health is that if we are interested
in the human spuit—as indeed we
must be —we cannot afford to ne-
gleet the body as if it did not mat
ter Bodily illness affects the mind
and the soul A healthy body sup
poits a healthy mind and soul.
Soul Supports Body
On the othei hand, Jesus himself
moie than once showed that he
knew this woiks both ways If body
suppoits soul, so soul suppoits
body Some doctor has calculated
that moie than half the patients
in Amencan hospitals on any
given day, would not be theie if
they had a dilfeient attitude to
waid life A young man lay dying
of pneumonia away back BP
Befoie Penicillin—with a nuise on
duty, when there was a knock at
the door No one thought the pa
tient was conscious, but he was,
and all set to die, till he heaid the
visitor whispei, “How is he 9 ’’ The
nurse answered, “He won’t last till
morning ” The physical disease was
not touched by those words, but
the young man’s spirit was “I
made up my mind I’d get well.” he
said . and he did Long ago it
was a proveiD - “A meny heart
doeth good like a medicine, but a
bioken spirit dneth up the bones ”
