—Lancaster Farming, Saiurda- 4 FROM WHERE WE STAND - There are now more days, weeks and months set aside for commercial charitable and other special observ ances than can be found on the calen dar. Some of'them are devoted to quite nobel and serious causes. The title of some others provoke only a bored shrug or collective snicker from the public In total the formal procla mations, contrived gimmics and pub licity splashes are generally greeted with profound apathy by people pre occupied with their own day to day cares. During June the dairy industry comes along with its June Dairy Month observance, telling us the glor ies of dairy foods and the contribu tions of dairying to our modern socie ty. This program and similar events conducted by other industries are not necessarily schemes designed to lure an unsuspecting public into something nefarious. Historically, American agriculture, (including dairying which includes a bout one-fifth of it) has stood firm for the free enterprise supply and demand system, despite surplusses and govern ment regulations in recent years. Giv en a choice, dairymen would rather sell their products in a market where demand has increased in pace with the growings milk-supply." Farm efficiency and development in science and technology in recent years have boosted milk production well over the free market demand, al though there is some indication that the surplus will be diminished this year. The logical answer of the dairy in dustry is to attempt to interest more people in drinking milk and using dairy, foods in June. During the late spring, fields and meadows dormant through the winter come to life again, and with the new grass comes the period of peak milk 0 -7 v I c? c o n Wnhm the past.few weeks guilty under the Sherman the Supreme Court oi the Antitrust law.

Collusion be tween Hoffa and Harry Brid ges, president of the West Coast longshoremen's union, was testified to by witnesses. Bridges has successfully avoided deportation on the grounds of collaboration with communists. The Committee, confront ed with a mountain of evi dence, warned that “if Hoffa is successful in combatting the combined weight of the U. S Government and pub lic opinion, the cause of de cent unionism is lost and la bor-management relations in this country will return to production. Since fluid milk is a per ishable item, farmers are anxious to sell more milk in June. The production of butter, ice cream, cheese and other dairy foods is equally related to the dairy cow’s physiology. Simply put, more dairymen believe the answer to their problem is to con vince the public to use more milk and dairy foods. Underconsumpsion, they say, not overproduction is the' issue. They are striving to build demand for their products in the classic free enter prise pattern, and are using their own money to do it. This is_, the basic phil osophy of the American Dairy Associ ation, which now boasts-a membership of over a million dairy farmers. ' Since most, of us, farmers and city dwellers alike, don’t drink all the milk we should, according the nutritionists, and since milk still holds the honor of “nature’s most nearly perfect food” the dairymen make a strong case for June Dairy Month. There seems to be good reason for all of us to cooperate with the cow—who is at the bottom of it all—in paying a little extra atten tion to our own personal use of dairy products. And since most of us are vitally in terested in some item of food produce, it would be well for other farm organ izations to take a page from the book of the American Dairy Association and promote the further use of wholesome, nutritious agricultural products. Rural organizations have the tools at hand to convince the American public to eat the balanced diet needed to keep pace in this fast-paced world community. The dairy industry is to be com mended for the good work they have done Other industries have done well too, but there is still a vast marke + + o reach and sell in the cause of good food. At least that’s how it looks from where we stand. the jungle era.” Equali y Under Law The McClellan Committee records contain evidence of numerous labor umon oper ated monopolies. For examp le, the committee evince of “monopolisation of the newspaper and maga zine wholesale business in New York” by Irvin Blitz, described by the committee as having “an impressive criminal record.” Blitz op erated through the Deliver ers’ Union. The record shows numer ous instances of “collusive action” between unions, in cluding so-called “sympathy strikes” and secondary boy cotts, to force the demands of only one of the unions in volved. Despite the evidence there is no record that the Justice Department started prosecution. This is not to point an ac cusing finger at the great majority of honest labor un ions—just as a vast majority of farm cooperatives and business firms are honest and law abiding—but it is to sug gest that our laws be admin istered without fear or favor, and with equal justice to all. DOUBLE CORN YIELDS Average yields in the last five years in Pennsylvania is 55 bushels of shelled corn per acre. However, many farmers with good manage ment produce 100 bushels per acre, reports Wayne Hm ish, Penn State extension ag ronomist.

Two very common mistakes are made at this point. One is to think that Christianity is essentially a set of dogmas, a creed too com- plicated to understand. Now of course, if you are going to talk about God, you are sure to strike mysteries sooner or later, In the nature of the case. God cannot be put into wordsf But Christianity is not words, though i't has Dr. Foreman never thrived without them. Christ did not choose his first followers for their theological skills. The other mistake is to think that Christianity consists of the perfect performance of very difficult deeds. And since-all of us who are honest must confess that our deeds are not terribly difficult and we do not do them-with spectacular success (to say the least of it) —and so We are inclined to give up Christianity, because it’s “not possible.’' What yon can’t sn The truth Is, Christianity is neither ideas you_can’t grasp nor deeds you can't do. Nevertheless, Christianity is concerned both with ideas and with acts. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus concentrates on acts: actions and habits, but also motives, for motives are part of every action. He speaks of them plainly, and also poetically. His figure of speech is “fruits.” He mentions false prophets, and offers a simple way of telling a false prophet from a true one. “By their fruits you shall know them,” he says. We must bear in mind that Jesus did not say, “By their fruits God knows them.” God’s wisdom sees into the hearts of all women and men, sifting fhe bad from the good. We ourselves can never fully explore one another’s hearts. In- Now is The Time . . .
