4—Lancaster .Farming, Saturday, April 17, 1965 From Where We Stand... Hate, Inc. We got a first-hand look this week at one of the tools of the hate peddlers that still stalk our land. It was a news paper printed in the deep South, and it represented itself as an “American paper supporting American freedoms’’. About the only freedom we could find in volved was the freedom of speech that made such a sheet legal, if not lovable. Headlines promised sensational dis closures which the text of the news story failed to deliver. But the stories were well-seeded with half-truths and implications. These people hate most everything but the southern status quo, and sometimes they’re not even sure who they are anymore! But worst of all they hate Communists and Civil Rights people, and they seem to class about ninety percent of the American people into one or the other of those categories, or both. According to this “away down south in the land of cotton” philosophy, our government is riddled with Communists, even at top levels, and those who can’t qualify as full-fledged Communists are so-called “leftists”. They appear to re- • NEPFCO (Continued from Page 1) breakage in handling and cut down losses. Because of these facts the committee has recommended a tolerance of not more than 10 percent by count of in dividual eggs in any one sam ple of a SOdozen case or more, and not more than two eggs in any one-dozen carton, to the next lower ourtce (at the rate" per dozen) in each size or weight class For examiple in a case of large eggs, not more than 36 eggs would be permitted to weigh less than 1 11/12 ounces each A doz en carton of medium eggs could have not more than two eggs weighing less than 1% ounces. In, view of modern pack aging procedures and the re quirements of retailers, UiSDA officials agree that the pres ent tolerance in the official United States standards are too liberal, but argue that NEPPCO’s suggested tolerance would be more than present equipment could achieve Be cause of this impass USDA has undertaken a special re search project to determine the exact extent of machine error on all the various types of egg grading equipment cui rently on the market or in use Nejct month US'DA officials plan to meet with NEPRCO’s Egg Marketing Committee to evaluate the results of the special research project and mutually agree on an accept able toleiance that would al low for present machine ei 101s Once tolerance has been es tablished it will be necessary to get the various states to Lancaster Farming Lancaster County’s Own Farm Weekly P O Box 26 G - Lititz.

These are the covering tactics of hate, fear, half-truths, slander, and pre judice that Hitler used so brilliantly in his rise to power. The§p people call themselves “anti-Communists”, and they seek identification with the Conserva tive movement in this country. If the Conservatives accept this support simply on the issues of anti-Communism and state’s rights they will lose far more than the few fanatical votes they might have gained. Perhaps in any other week, under the pressure of mail that has to be read, this sort of garbage would have made a non-stop, one way trip to the waste basket. But we had occasion to visit Arlington Cemetary in Washington, D. C. last weekend, and the memory of how far-reaching the doctrine of hate can be was just too vivid to let some thing like this go by without comment. Who knows, perhaps Lee Oswald’s warp ed mind and hate for society were in fluenced by just such a vicious slander sheet. Protect Pastures By Not Grazing Them Too Early All through the long win ter farmers waited anixously to turn out the stock and cut down barn work in order to devote more time to the press ing tasks connected 'with growing this year’s crops. Now that spring is here there may be the tendency to turn out the stock too early, while the grasses and legumes are still weak from winter’s hi bernation. The food stored in the roots kept the plants alive during the winter and is producing the first growth and leaves. The leaves are the organs of the plant which actually make the proteins, carbohydrates and fats that feed the animals. If they are grazed too soon or too dosely, production is greatly reduced, cautions the National Lime stone Institute. 'Several factors have a bear ing on the speed of spring gio'wth and production the earliness and warmth of spimg, the amount of rainfall and past farming practices which determine the amount of food stored up in the plant loots as well as the nutrients stored up in the soil These nutnents include calcium and amend their egg laws to con foim to the UtSDA weights and tolerances This will be a big job New York which has a 24 ounce law with on tol eiance holds 'the key. New .Tersey and Pennsylvania both require a dozen large eggs to weigh 24 ounces hut New 1 Jer sey permits one egg in a doz en to weigh up to 1/12 ounce less and Pennsylvania allows two Background Scripture: Matthew SI. rtetotional Healing: X Corinthians 15.20-26 What is all this Easter business about?

Poultry is second with 20 percent Horticultural specialties, such as greenhouse and nurs ery products, account for 9 percent. Fiuits and vegetable products are 3 and 4 percent, lespectively, of cash receipts from farm product sales.

To better understand the thinking and goals of the planning commission, it was decided to get together with the commission in the near futuie to discuss common pi oblems Wayne Maresch, county con servationist,. asked the board to approve cancellation of 149 farmei-cooperatoi agree ments so he could bring his coopeiatoi file up-to-date Most of these agreements are not cunently in operation as a result of the death of the original coopeiator or sale of the farm The boaid also unan imously approved the applica tions of 21 new cooperators.

To ITreajt Vegetable Si*eds To Set Milk Profduotkm iGOals Often vegetable seed will not germinate readily when sown in early spring because the soil is still too cold or too moist The lowest soil temperature foi the germina tion of endive, lettuce, onions and spinach seed is 32 de grees Beets, bioccoli, cab bage, carrots, cauliflower, cel ery, peas, radish, and turnips germinate at 40 degrees, as paiagus, sweet coin and to matoes, 50 degrees, and lima beans, snap beans, cucumbers, eggplants, muskmelons, pep pers, pumpkins and water melons, 60 degrees These are the lowest temperatures at which the seed will germin ate All early planted seeds should be heated with a fun gicide so that they will not rot in the soil. Germany Who mot* about th* lif* ana- death of Christ; but when he cam* to the Reiurtea tlon, he just couldn’t take it. It could not be a fact, he wrote; for that would have had to be a mir acle of omnipotence, a miracle ot almighty power. Well, 10 it was. You can't make anything else out of it It was indeed a miracle; if it did not happen you cannot understand the rest of the New Testament. There Is a famous and learned theologian who finds it impossible to believe in mir acles. and yet he would like to believe in the resurrection. So his writings on the subject, when you boil them down, sound very much like this: “The resurrection is the most important event in the Bible story; but it never hap pened.” Well, Christians are pre pared to admit it is hard to be lieve, but New Testament type Christians are not prepared to believe there was no miracle on the first Easter of them aIL HB IS RISEN! The message Eastertide brings the world (if it listens) more messages than one. The first and most im portant, of course, is that God raised bis Son from the dead. But that is not all of it. It is striking that Jesus never ap peared to his enemies again after his death. He came back to thoio who believed in him, to thos* . who followed him. So tho great message isnot merely that Jesus . survived death; he came back to be with liii owri.lf you havejrot responded to Jesus becauio of , what he was, did and taught, yon are not likely to be convlnced by ' a resurrection.- Preceiving-tho ‘ resurrection*- the jtruts and tho -glory of Ijt, -is not a dempnstra , lion,,to- force .you into faith.

Dairy fanners with herds enrolled in the DH'IA, have increased production per cow by almost 3,000 libs of milk and over 100 lbs. of milk fat in the last 10 years. Dairy men need to look at other iccords to set goals for them selves if they aie to keep up with the inci eased efficiency of other farmers In 1964, there weie 1,519 herds that pioduced an average of more than SCO lbs of milk fat per cow in D HII A , and 129 of these weie over 600 lbs This may be too high a goal for many dairymen, but, a good dairyman should ceitamlyplan to be above the aveiaige of all ecus in DHIA which was 12,063 lbs. of milk' and 472 (Continued on Page 15)
