—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 11, 1962 4 From Where We Stand. Bouquet T o FFA Nearly 200 teen-age Tsoys descended on the Legion Memorial Field at Quarryville last week, and conducted themselves .with such dignity and good manners that other visitors of the park were moved to comment on their ex cellent behavior. It was not that the boys were re stricted in their activity or that they sat around doing nothing. On the con trary, a lively ballgame was followed by a chicken barbecue with each of the 200 eating chicken and cheering for their local players. But the significant thing, we think, is that teen-age boys should conduct themselves with enough aplomb to at tract the attention of visiting adults. We want to pass on our compli ments to the County Association of Future Farmers for the way in which they had the evening affair planned and in the excellent manner in which the boys conducted themselves Compliments too, we believe, are due to the teachers of vocational agri culture of the county who put the boys on their good behavior before they ever neared Quarryville We firmly believe that many teen agers do things we wish they would not do simply because we never tell them what we do want them to do. Too often young people are not directed, or are misdirected by careless instructions, and then we adults criticize their ac tions. Future Farmers and their leaders can be proud of their reputation, and from all reports, they are working to keep that reputation shining. At least that’s how it looks from where we stand Grassland Day It is not often that an event of national significance comes near enough home to be within easy driving distance. And so often such events come at a busy time on the farm when it is hard to get away for a day But this year a significant national agricultural event is happening near home and at a time when there is not much going on at home And best of all the entire thing is free to all who will take the time to drive to Hershey next week. We believe it will be a day well spent by you and your family taking in the events, demonstrations and exhibits ery Satur day by Lancaeter-Parming, Lit itz, Pa.

Machinery and methods for all phases of grassland agriculture from seedbed tillage to utilization of the forage by the animal will be on display and in demonstration. Back this up with The North American Hay Show, the State Plowing Matches and educational exhibits by many Landgrant Colleges and agricultural and allied industry as sociations, and you begin to get an idea of the magnitude of the event. Again we repeat, a day at Hershey during Grassland Field Days will be ia day well spent * At least that’s how it looks from where we stand Perseverance Pays It is not often that an individual or a partnership becomes the subject of discussion in this column, but when we hear of an outstanding display of cour tage and determination, we like to com ment on it In the summer of 1960 two young men from out of state moved into the county and began a radically new pro gram to produce high-quality disease free foundation breeding swine. Through no fault of their own, disease stalked in, as it sometimes does on any farm. But this was a parti cularly contageous disease which meant sell the entire herd and begin all over after disinfection and keeping the houses empty for a long period. Such a program would have been disasterous to the young men who had invested a good portion of their sav ings in foundation sows. There was one alternative program, and the partners followed it to the letter. They saved their costly blood lines by catching the baby pigs in a plastic bag at farrowing time and re moving them to an isolated starting and growing unit The young men “bagged” 62 pigs and raised 73' < in isolation on artificial milk After sacrificing seven of the pigs for post-mortem examinations by veter inarians and slaughtering the rest of the herd, th«y werfe “back in business”, even if on a much less grand scale. The point is, they were not willing to accept less than the best even though the best was costly and time consuming. We need more such courage and perseverance as this At least that’s how it looks from where we stand 26 3!)

Psalm 130 Responsibility Lesson for August 12, 1962 «D ESPONSIBLE” and “re .■l'- sponsibihty” are wordi perhaps hard to define, but thej will strike any thinking person ai important words We all know' n a general wa; what they mean When we speak o an irresponsiblt person we speal in dispaiagmj tones, we don’ trust a person hki that An mespon sible person can’ be depended on tt Dr. Foreman do what he is ex pccted to do. The difference be tween an irresponsible poison am an absent-minded one is not tha one remembers what he is sup posed to do and the other om doesn’t, they both will forget Bu the absent minded man is over whelmed by regret and mortifica tion at having forgotten, while tin irresponsible one doesn’t care even if he forgets a dozen times Singlet Plural and Collective To be responsible means tha' someone is expecting jou to do a job or to be a particular kind ol person It means also that yot aie expected to give an accounl of yourself to some one. You an responsible for the job and to tha boss, or the inspector, whoevei gets your report No matter how high your perch is in society, voi are always responsible to soms one the President of the USA is responsible to the people, ana we judge presidents by how web they carry that responsibility But more than individuals can be responsible. A whole group of persons can be responsible m the same way, to the same person and for the same work, like a class m school with a problem to solve This wj can call plural responsi bility Again theie is collective responsibility, as when Jacob, m the Genesis story, holds all Ins sons responsible for the welfai e ol Joseph We can say that a com munity is respon c ible for its own health—that again is collective i csponsibdity Now Is The Time . . . Alter a period of drought conditions, new growth of sudan grass should not he grazed until it is 16 to 18 inches tall;, this new growth may be high in -prussic acid and poison livestock Many areas might have received sufficient ram in the past week to bring along this new growth at this time. To Fertilize Grasslands Lnestock pioducers are urged to ferti4 hze hav and pasture areas that have been made un-productive in recent weeks due to dry weather. Nitrogen on the straight grass ■stands and a complete fertilizer on the grass- 1 MVX M. SMITH legume mixtures should result in lush grow th when sufficient ram does fall.

Quite the contrary: there is no such great happiness in holding on to blessings as there is in sharing them Do people evei thank God for you 7 You may no) be able to answer that, becaus* you don't know. Peace Another great word hero .. “Peace.” God makes a covenant —an agreement—of love with hil people. Every dealing of God witli men is rooted and founded in love, This cannot be other wjsc if God Is love. But this prophet bring! out the way love is shown—and one way is the way of peace. Oui God, the only true God, is a God of peace, not strife, anger, vio lence There is something wrong with the picture when so-called and self-labeled Christians keep sniping at one another and calling names. There may be no pos sibilify of union between youi church and some other, but even wheic that is true, you do not manifest youi Chnstiamty by call mg names and “running down” other Cluistians who do not be lieve just in the way you do. Furthermore, to take another illustration, it ought to hurt our consciences that the so-called Christian nations of the world seem to be the most violent wax malcois As individuals, as churches as a nation, do we really act as if we belonged to the God of peace? Security A third gieat idea, a third great piomise of God to his true people, is security. We know, if we have any expencnce at all, that God guaiantees no man security from all mini an and eaithly troubles. Commentators are not all agreed whether this reference in Ezekiel to security should be taken lit erally or not One thing should be clear If not even tne prophet Ezekiel was immune from trou bles (he lost his wife, and mourned deeply the fall of Jerusalem), God’s people should not expect total freedom from pam, frustra tion and death, not to mention other ills So those who think we, should take the part about secuj),j nty literally, usually believe if must mean at some time after the! last judgment, not now. However this may be, the believer in God can be assured that God will not let him be wholly destroyed, not even by death To the Christian, death is not the final crash; it is God’s summons to a world of glory The Christian has the deepest security of all—security, against the fear of death.
