—Lancaster Farming* Saturday, August 14, 1&65 4 From Where We Stand... Right- Between The "AYES And The NOES" That’S where Senator Dirksen’s pro posed amendment on reapportionment was shot last week in the U S. Senate! The amendment would have permitted the individual states to form their legis latures on a basis of area as well as population, thus reversing the Supreme Court’s infamous “one-man, one-vote” edict. The needed two-thirds majority was missed by seven votes! One-man, one vote, indeed! This little slogan has no more real meaning than many of the other slogans and jingles that offend our senses daily via the airwaves. Let's examine it. If it means that for every vote there should be one man, then its truth is obvious, for no one in a democracy could endorse a citizen’s practice of voting more than once in a single election. But if in fact it is taken as intended if it suggests that every man has an equal chance at representation by virtue of his one vote then ‘it could not be farther from the truth. And something that far from the truth can only be labeled a'hoax or a myth; take your pick. But hoax or myth, it’s beginning to look as though we’ve just bought the package! Senator Dirksen says the fight’s not over yet, but conditions sug gest otherwise. If the issue had been taken out of committee earlier this year, it might have had the votes to pass. Since that hme many states, 33 to be exact, have altered their legislative mechanisms to comply with the Court’s new “law” To undo that effort now would supposedly create considerable confusion in the government of those STATE CHAMPION LIVESTOCK JUDGING TEAM Left to right they are: David, Heisey, Sheridan HI, Michael Holler, Manheim R 3, Kenneth Hess, Stras burg Rl, and Fred Hess, Leola Rl. # 4-H Days the col,nt .v’s title in that event ' with a fust place Then de (Continued from Page 1) monstiation, titled “Shape Up The livestock demonstration And Shl P - the team of Nancy Fiey and Dallas P l^ 6 / methods of handling Wolgemuth, of Manetta R 1 and transposing Izvestock and Mount Joy HI, lespective- John Fiey, tjuanyville R 2( ly, also successfully defended placed third in the public speaking categoiy with his dis cussion of “How Much Educa tion Do I Need 7 ” A fouith place win was managed for the county by the poultry judging team Jeffrey Miller of Bambndge R 1 lanked fifth individually: Lilli Ann Wivell, Columbia Rl, placed sixth, and Vicki Shank, Eliza bethtown Rl, 14th.

Such a convention can be called if two-thirds of the state legislatures 34 petition Congress. Twenty-three states have al ready done so. Eleven more are needed if such a convention is to be brought about. To the best of our knowledge, such a convention has never been called to amend the Constitution in modern times Again, the “experts” are predicting that the issue is dead. It is interesting to note on this question of apportionment thait ;the nearer it gets in its progress back to the people, the more popular support it has. For example, the Court decision order ing reapportionment of state legislatures was a 6-3 verdict. Nine men involved, and a change of two votes would have killed the issue. In the Senate, 57 votes were for an amendment, and 39 against. That means that just short of 60 percent of the U.S. Senators were against the reapportionment principle (our Senators split; Scott, for amendment; Clark, against). President Johnson interpreted a similar majority in his election as a mandate from the people. And now nearly one-half of all the state legisla tures in the country have, in a sense, demanded that Congress amend the re apportionment issue by calling for a Constitutional Convention. To say that the Court’s decision was unwise is a matter of opinion. To say that a great many million citizens think that it was unwise, unpopular, and unneeded is simply a matter of examining the magnitude of the protest against it.

To Prepare Silos Gi eater emphasis is being placed on silage in all livestock and dany piogiams, in 01 dei to make top quality silage it is ne tessaiy to exclude the air from the silage as soon as it is ensiled, in some cases this might mean the le-suifacing of the mteuor of the silo in order to eliminate pitted places and open mortar'joints Some attention to the silo prior to filling time is good management. To Sow Quality Seeds In aider to get the variety and quality of seed for top performance it is important to get the seed on hand early and be sure it is free from disease and weeds One of the best wajs to be sure of these re quirements is to use certified seed. If local seed is to be used, we suggest that the seed be treated for disease before planting. Small grain diseases such as smut and scab are quite common and can reduce yields immensely.
