—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 30, lSp4 4 From Where We Stand... Is Sprayed Alfalfa Safe Feed? Since the U S. Department of Agri culture withdrew recommendations and cancelled registration of heptachlor for use on alfalfa plantings, many farmers have been concerned over the use of hay crops sprayed with the chemical last fall. Many farmers applied the spray according to directions (correct amount at the proper time) last fall when hep tachlor was approved for weevil con trol. Now the question arises; can the hay or silage made from those fields this spring and summer be used as feed? According to university entomolo gists, the first cutting would normally be more susceptible to residue; there fore, the following suggestions are made. If the sprays were applied accord ing to recommendations, the forage may be used in a nomal diet ration, but if possible the first cutting should be fed to beef cattle or to non-milking dairy cattle. If the first cutting is fed to milking cows, the experts suggest mixing it with other feeds or hay in the ration. The latter cuttings should be safe for any use, the specialists say. The insect and pesticide specialists are understandably wary about making any flat statements concerning the use of sprayed forages, and usually preface any remarks with “using all available research information”. If there is still a question about illegal residues on any forage sprayed last fall, we would suggest having a hay or silage sample analyzed before feeding it to dairy or beef cattle. A list of laboratories which specialize in such an alysis is available from the county agent. Such a test is not cheap, but it might be worth every penny if it con tributed to peace of mind. At least that’s how it looks from where we stand. ★ ★ ★ For Athletes * Milk It gives us a great deal of plea sure to report that the athletes at the Olympic Games in Tokyo next October will be assured of a plentiful supply of milk and ice cream. An Olympic milk and ice cream bar will be operated in the recreation hall at the Olympic Village where the more than 6,500 athletes and officials will live. The bar will be co-sponsored by the American Dairy Association, Dairy Society International, and Japan Milk Association, Inc. under an agree ment among the three organizations made in Tokyo early this month. Similar to the dairy bar sponsored by the American Dairy Association, during the Winter Olympic Games at Squaw Valley, California, in 1960, the Tokyo counterpart will supply dairy products to official residents of the vil- Lltitz-Manheim The next meeting will be u s _ SAVINGS BONDS Sewina Cluh Mwtc held June 16 at the Warwick d wing uiub Meets Hlgh School from g t 0 u am Future events were discussed at the second meeting of the Lititz-Manheim 4-H Sewing club held last week at the home of Mrs David Buckwal ter, Lititz R 3.

The dairy bar will sup plement the dairy foods included in the regular meals provided for the athletes m the village. We believe that this extra serving of milk and ice cream to the athletes will call attention of people all over the world to the goodness of dairy foods. We hope that the efforts of the committee will help spread the story telling the importance of dairy foods to good health. We believe dairymen everywhere should join in supporting the project, because in so doing, they will be work ing toward strengthening their market at home. At least that’s how it looks from where we stand. A concentrated or dried whole milk that would taste good enough to drink has long been the dream of dairy scien tists. Now it seems that the dream is about to come true. A patent for a process to produce powdered whole milk has been granted to a Pennsylvania State University Pro fessor of Dairy Science. The process is said to produce dry whole milk which will not develop ob jectionable tastes and odors normally found in powdered milk products con taining butterfat. According to the inventor, Stuart Patton, dry whole milk has never been acceptable as a beverage even though powdered skim milk has a big market in this country. Consumers have al ways objected to the buttery-coconut flavors which develop during manufac turing and storage. The newly pattented process eli minates the development of off-flavors by subjecting milk fat to steam under relatively high vacuum. The fat, steam cleaned of certain lactones and ketones which cause the off-flavors, can then be re-emulsified into the skim milk for evaporation into dried whole milk. Whole milk, rich in butterfat, which is scarce in many of the under developed areas of the world, could solve many of the nutritional problems of undernourished people. American soldiers in foreign lands would also re lish dry whole milk where fresh milk is not available. With several leading milk product manufacturers already considering the treatment, it may be that the age old problem of storing milk without refri geration will soon be solved. This is just one more example of things Grandpa would never have dreamed of in his day. At least that’s how it looks from where we stand. Sanitation is the number one requuement in a good summer fly control program around farm buildings. Loncaster Farming Jack Owen, Editor Lancaster County’s Own Farm Robert G.

Like all states of mind, na tionalism is not just one thing hut a combination of things. At hase it is patriotism, the love of one’s own country, a wish to work for its welfare; it is pride in the achievements of the pioneers, a sense of the living reality of the history of the nation; it can be a sense of national ideals, an “image” of what one’s country wants to he; an awareness of her resources, a empathy with one’s fellow-citizens, a proud and hap py sense of belonging.
