■4 —Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, March 21, 1959 «vVc L,n*r aUTCTMN, Lancaster Farming reported on a new 150-ton capacity trench silo being installed by Thomas Harnish, Willow Street RD 1. This week we returned to inspect his silo after a winter’s operation and ask how it worked out. 'ln the upper photo, Tom is shown Looking over the remaining silage, at the top of his self-feeding gate .He fed about three months this winter, moving the gate (Lower Photo) each day with the tractor loader. This .saved about one week’s hard labor, —forking silage, main tained production at the same level as stall feeding and Tjy April 1, will have resulted in the 34-cow herd self-feed ing the full 150 tons of amber cane and soybean silage ffext year, Hamish plans to use the trench for corn silage and 'stick to his free-choice program during open weather, again relying on bis upright silo and stall feeding only during cold spells. —LF PHOTO PSU Dean Resumes Work in State Just returned from two assignments dealing with im proved instructions in the biological sciences and a better national feed and forage program, Dr. H.

The hospitilization of Sec retary of State Dulles has quietly shifted greater re spdhiahility for conduct ell our foreign affairs to Cong ress, and especially to the shoulders of Ben. J. W. Ful bright, new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. And, by coincidence, many of the formerly secret docu ments and records of the forces and events which led up to and included World War II became available for the first time in an intensely interesting book called “Wed emevyer Reports.” Sen. Fulbright and Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer (ret.) share the apprehension that world events of the past few years have been following a course dangerously parallel to those which led up to and precipitated World War 11. Both, however, believe that a third World War can be postponed and possibly avoi ded. Will History Repeat? Both men, in their respec tive fie'ds of grand strategy the legislative policy-making are exceptionally well-infor med on the lessons to be learned from history. Gen. Wcdemeyer was the princi pal author of the Victory Program on which our World War II effort was based, and Sen. Fu bright is a former Rhodes scholar and President of the University of Arkan sas Powerful dictators now, as in the 1930’5, threattn the of the world. They are at least as ruthless as were Hit’e” and Mussoilini Russia and Cirna now, as Germany and Italy did 20 years ago, have built powerful military machines. They will attempt to use them for the same purpose— the conquest and domination of the free nations? Diplo matic and military officials here are generally agreed they wil' force a war only if their end cannot be gained by other means. The book, Wedemeyer, Re ports, is much more than a. history of World War 11. It is a shockingly frank expose of diplomatic fumbling and military unpreparedness. We are, Gen. Wedemeyer told us in an interview, repeating some of those same mistakes. Suppressed Documents The Wedemeyer Reports is a 500-page elaboration and of a report he first made in 1947 to Presi det Truman and Secretary of State Gen. Gearge Marshall, and on which Mr. Truman p’aced the stamp of secrecy. Now, 12. years later, the full report -is available to the public and to historians. It has astounded Washington and London is well as the cap : ta s of many other na tions by its darm" ng of names, peaces and dates. It documents the charges he and others have made, that President Roosevelt “provoked” the Japaneese in to attacking and that he ex pected the attack; that Brit ish Prime Minister Church hill prolonged the war by unwise pol tical decisions and that he seemed to lack either the wisdom to. recognize his mis'akes or the greatness to admit them”. “W* won the war militar ily” Gen Wedemeyer said, “but events since th°n prove *ha' 'ost it po'itica’ly, economically and nl ly.” Th" question the book 1 ea T " ’ nanswered, whi f,h a'one can answer, is v h we have l' , a'- md a les'-'-" from past mistakes. 3UWo Material: Luke 23 18-49. Devotional Heading: I Corinthians 1 18- 25 The Gross Lesson for March 22,1959 IN’ A POPUItAR. novel of some years ago, dealing with the time of .Tesus and afterwards, the Roman officer who had to crucify Jesus is represented as being quite shocked by the whole idea, 'having seldom, if ever seen a crucifixion, This is , a histori author's part; for m the Roman world, a far more brutal one than ours, fatal flog gings and cruci fixions were pretty common affairs. They •were so common, in fact, that al though we have four gospels each telling about the crucifixion of Jesus, not one gives any details at all about the actual crucifixion itself. Such details were not necessary; most readers of the gospels in those days had seen such things and'did not need to be re minded On th* Crosfr What was extraordinary there on Calvary was not the cross itself. There"where three in use that one morning: the one on which. Jesus died had very likely been used be fore and would be used again. They do not nowadays make the electric chair over for every new criminal. No, the extraordinary thing was not the cross, as ugly an instru ment of torture as ever seared the eye of man. What the gospels take more pains in describing was what happened on the cross. No two of the gospels tell precisely the same story, though they do not contra dict one another. Luke’s story has been selected for this week’s study. Consider a few facts that Luke’s story high-lights. First is that an innocent man hung on that central cross. That he died between two bandits only brings out more strongly his own innocence. Furthermore, it is extraordinary, that this Jesus made no complaints about having been “framed” as Now Is The Time ... ”0 CONTROL RATS AND MICE it her will soon be here and rodi have been in or about your farm ng the wihter will be getting 01 ,f\ ds.
