4 Lancaster Fanning, Saturday. March 17, 1962 From Where We Stand... Force Ourselves To A few nights ago we had to get a httle rough with the older boy to get him to bed at the prescribed time After a little coercion, he reluc tantly went on up the stairs. Then the better half of our marri age said, “Why should \ou have to force a°child to do things that are good for him ?” It would appear that he could see the necessity for going to bed at the proper time and getting the necessary rest, but he didn’t appear to be able to see it. We weie reminded ol the incident a few days later when a veterinarian told Lancaster County Farmers they have not been doing a very good job in the fight to control a dread cattle disease And to make the situation worse, the disease can be transmitted to hu man beings as well Now the pathetic part of the whole picture is this A few years ago the was almost totally eradicated, but through neglect it is staging a come back Tuberculosis has been called the disease of civilisation since it is as old as civilization itself and was unknown m many aboriginal tubes before civili zation came to them For raanj" generations the word Tuberculosis struck fear into the hearts of mankind because there was no known cure for the “white sickness ” Foi many years dairymen and cat tle breeders made real progress toward conquering the disease partly be cause of that fear But with the advance of the wonder drugs. Tuberculosis does not hold man kind m the grip of fear as it once did Partly because of this farmers have become careless or apathetic about the problem They no longer seem to feel tins is a disase which must be fought to eradication Farmers have the know-how and We’ve Just Got To Get Organized One ol these davs wc are going to have to get organized We Keep telling ourselves that, but sometimes something happens to make us wonder if we aren’t just about as or ganized as we are going to get We have just about come to the conclusion that we work m the ulcer de partment of an ulcer business in an ulcer world, and the only thing to do is pitch in and enjoy it Every time we think we have things under control and everything is in its proper groove, something comes along to gouge a new groove Eveiy time we ■o- ❖ <■ -o- ❖ v Lancaster Forming Omii 1 .inn p o nox r. 24 Lam asfor, IVnnd P O Hon 2M, - Lint/, IV Olfiros: 2 2 R Mam Sr Lilil/, Pi Phono - Lamas! or BXpross 1-.‘(04 7 oi Hint/- MA (1-2 I'M dark DiO'ii Kdilor Roht rr (! unpin II AdNortisuiK Dirodor Establish! d \o\iiiibi‘i 1 J r ) r is rnbi.sbod <un sinn dav b\ Imicjsii r-l’.irniili,' Hu ll/ I’.i I’nton <i .is 2nd < lass rn ili< t H* Lilli/, i’i imdoi \i i nf M T h 1ST 1 * .Subscription Jf.

National Egg Month is being obsei \ ed Sponsored by the Poultry and Egg National Board, the purpose ot the month-long observance is to promote the use of eggs and to move more eggs from farm to family table We believe this is a woithy under taking We believe a campaign to bring to the consuming public the truth about the wholesomness of farm-fresh foods is in order Theie is too often publicity of the other kind, and the Uuth about the good in food is told too seldom and too hap-hazardly Ihe theme of National Egg Month this year is “Eggs For Get Up and Go.’’ We propose this as a theme for promoting all agricultural products and the sooner the better At least that’s how it looks from whei’e we stand think it is going to be smooth sailing trom here on out, someone stands up and begins rocking the boat Every time we think we have the fire out, someone comes rushing in with a bucket of high octane gasoline So we just have to keep shoving things back into the old groove, trim ming the sail, and reeling out more hose, and who could get things done with all that ruckus going on at one time But one ot these days we are going to have to get organized At least that’s how it looks from where we stand “Cornfusion” Reigns In Seed Boxes \ si.no ol (oriilusion ’ ma\ i'isi anu)us lanners whin R ■ orni s lo soliclnuj si ( d iotii Lir pkinlm-r. a sm\o> mdi- it the IV'iiisyU.inia S! lie OmerMU 1 lie studv iu 1 *((> 1 show--. lli.it I 1J Tj.i nn i. in ('<iilr.il l>i“iin-,\l t.'ii.i plant <<l 117 diQeieni ric'-J . orn li\bri<]'. . a'os ()t tin 1! 7 lubi ils ns<><l 20 win oarh matin in- uni'liii rrlmits l( troltl (' Campbell <i (Ilian assistant with ih" ,ito|i i i at )Vim Stati \tiot i ii" “lb 'nlinjs w ( i-i will sili'il i i for tin roifion nic'iiu ti ll Mtnb "lowinir seison md In ■ ■" amr. siuti cl to atoas wt lot’ - f't -rov m-t si isoji-% flO iarmor in t'i siirvo\ wa,s planting lour vari of hybrid field corn from Help Ourselves ★ ★ ★ National Egg Month l«o dillen nl 'brands,” sajs Cum pin'll I’asl liejd pc i lonnam c was oun as the inajoi re non lor solodinj; .1 li\bnd Kifry-Lwo per tHiil ot the fanners repot <- (<1 trouble wit It ‘•talk bieat aa*‘ and soft torn J’bo 147 In bints’ wen* 1 ui uislif (1 b\ 14 seisl mm pan- Thtrlj plan ted on 25 or mate acres, null up 71 per < eul ot the to tal ai reaete Sn per tent <1 I uor remeinlw r tbe \anefi pb. nie<] The ollur I 17 tjnc- I k*s im, ic uj> tbe tetir.inniia 2!
