From Where We Stand...
Bands Of Silence
Writing in Nation’s Business, Alden
31. Sypher. retired editor and life-long
journalist, noted that “Government by
fear is causing hands ol silence to fall
acioss the land
“Noise, still rises from bearded
builders of dissension but in increasing
numbers the more responsible, mature
ami highly qualilied people are with
drawing from public discussion . . .”
He goes on to say the inclination
toward silence is “restricting the ex
change of ideas that could result in
honest consensus. It is the product of
fear the fear of a vastly increased
central authority with tremendous pow
er and little restraint in its use
“The fear of farmers whose liveli
hood is largely controlled in Washington
and whose product prices have been af
fected by stockpile manipulations
“Of businessmen who have seen
controls become effective not by law,
nor uniform patterns, but by unbearable
pressure of central power and authority.
“Of educators who have seen sud
den withdrawal of federal funds for
failure to conform and just as sudden
replacement of the funds through in
tervention not by educators, but by
political figures
“Of city leaders who see in the
antipoverty war new political align
ments that may be-directed or at least
greatly influenced by Washington
“Of little people who rest uneasily
under the benevolence of power they
have seen unleashed, over which they
have no control.”
And, says the Oregon Voter, “be
yond the self-imposed silence and fear
of economic repercussions, there lies the
historically proven danger of becoming
a subservient, obedient and abject peo-

longer we stay silent, the greater are
our chances of becoming weak, self

Recognition Encourages Remedies
The people of the United States are
becoming increasingly aware of the fact
that more and more attention is being
given by Washington, the various states,
and industries to the problems of air,
water and land pollution.
This is as it should be so long as
the people who call the shots are prac
tical in their approach and require
ments The interests of the public and
industry are mutual.
As an example of cooperation by the
two, it is interesting to note that Eli
Lilly and Company, a leading producer
of pharmaceuticals and agricultural
chemicals, was recently honored by the
Wabash Valley Association for its “out
standing efforts in handling waste mate
rials” at its Tippecanoe Laboratories in
Lafayette, Indiana, and “its continuing
efforts to keep the Wabash River clean ”
It is the first Indiana Industrial con
cern to be thus cited Four companies
with plants in Indiana and Illinois also
received commendations Texaco,
Marathon Oil Co., American Machine &
Foundry and Ayrshire Collieries Cor
poration.
Thus is industry encouraged by
public recognition to advance its efforts
for pollution control. An increasing
population, with swelling demands for
products and services of every kind, has
made pollution a critical problem in
area after area. The remedies lie'in far
sighted policies on the part of industry
and government at all levels.

To Remove Mulch Fiom Strawberries
Since lecenl weather conditions have
favored vegetative growth throughout the
area, it is time to remove some of the mulch
fiom the rows of strawberries If the plants
remain covered deeply, they will turn yellow
and not pioduce well, many growers will
lemove about half of the mulch, leaving the
lest to settle down and piotect the hemes

To Graze Animals Carefully
Any kind of livestock will welcome the
chance to get out and take a fill of lush
grass or winter grain, caie should be exer
cised for the fust several times to get the
animals accustomed to this change of forage
Severe bloating and scouring may result. Dairymen with milk
ing cows must protect the flavor of the milk by permitting
them to graze only a short time after the milking, and keeping
them from the aiea for at least 4 to 5 hours before the next
milking
