4-Tancaster Farming, Saturday, April 16, 1966 From Where We Stand... A Contrast In Youth Have you looked at the front page of Lancaster Farming yet this week? If you haven’t, please do so now. If you have, take another glance at it. Nearly all of page one this week is concentrated on Lancaster County young people at work. Contrast this impression with what you have been seeing on the front pages oi your daily papers, and on your T.V. scieens during the past week. So far as we know, there have been no hysterical mobs of youths storming through our county streets this week, hurling rocks and shop-worn slogans before them, and demanding their freedom at the ex pense of others' slavery No, our young people are too busy for such childish non-sense. They are busy serving others thiough community organizations, such as 4-H, FHA and FFA. They are busy preparing for college, or careers, that will enable them to be of greater value to themselves and to their fellow human beings. They are busy learning and practicing the democratic fundamentals of parliamentary procedure arid public speaking. They are busy in their class rooms and at their after-schodl jobs. And, there, is one very fundamen tal. vital difference they'are BUSY. Haven’t you ever wondered how young people in some of the so-called under-privileged nations seem to have so little to do? There always seem to be thousands of them available for “in stant demonstrations”. Surely that mass of energy could be turned to ■more con structive uses in their respective home lands. . ** But let some professional rabble rouser in any of those countries cleverly instigate a “Yankee-Go-Home” demon stration, and the “students” literally swarm out of the woodwork like ter mites. Do you ever stop to wonder what kind of a world it would be out there if all the Yankees did suddenly go home 9 If we did suddenly say one morn ing, “Okay, if that’s the way you really want it, we’ll go back to our isolationist ways And we wish you lots of luck.” Yes, we've provided money, food, clothing, etc. to most of the down-trod den countries and often we have supported the wrong side simply be cause it was the only side that had any organization or semblance of govern ment But the most important thing we have exported to other countries is our young people And after all is said and done, that will be the only meaningful contribution we will have made But we could not have made a greater one. We have sent Peace Corps workers, and other organized groups of youths into these “on-behmd” areas, and they have left their mark with the little people.

So often our attention is diverted from the “normal kid” by headlines and stories which play on the sensational, criminal fringe the so-called juvenile delinquent. Instead of knocking down all teenagers because a few are degen erate, wouldn’t it be worthwhile to' boost the majority who are meeting their responsibilities, and who are carv ing out decent lives for themselves within the framework of our society? This thought has been expressed many times by noted authorities: we are merely echoing their sentiments. Just as Winston Churchill described the United Nations in its infancy as “the last, best hope of mankind”, so we would apply those words to the young people of America. While youth in many lands are busy tearing down the walls of so ciety and destroying the very freedom they hope to achieve, our youngsters are busy creating, learning, and preparing for a world that will need them desper ately in twenty years, or Jess. - To these Yankee young folks we say, “Carry on, and be not-disheartened. The world of tomorrow can be whateyer you want to make of it. You are truly our last, best hope,” „ ■ ★★★ ★ - Arlie Anderson Passes We were saddened to -learn of. the death of Arlie Anderson this week, and know that his many friends: were also, for he had become somewhat of a tradition around Lancaster County. He died at the Masonic Home Hos pital, Elizabethtown, Wednesday night following a brief illness. He was seventy-five. Anderson was a product of the midwest, born on an lowa farm and educated' at lowa State College. He came to Masonic Homes Farm in 1939, where he remained as swine herdsman until his recent retirement. He was a nationally recognized swine judge, and was honored by the Lancaster County Swine Producers Association in 1965 for his outstanding service to the association and the swine industry. At this year’s State Farm Show, hundreds of swine breeders gathered to honor him as one who “probably forgot more about hogs than most of us will ever 'know”. The 1966 Farm Show marked the 35th year Anderson had attended that event. He could always be seen at ring side as the hog judging progressed. Arlie Anderson’s seat in the first row will be empty at next year’s Farm Show, but he will be remembered by many there. earns from the sale of his piodncts is derived fionx ex ports.

By Max Smith* Lancaster County Agen,t To Kill Wild Grasses - Some crop fields may be infested with quackgrass or Johnson grass that are rank growers and very difficult to eradicate Both of these grasses.have underground runners that send up plants and will soon take over the area if not controlled We suggest that the area not be plowed until the new growth of from 4 to 6 inches has been sprayed with Amitrol-T or Dalapon. This new growth will allow the chemical to get down into the root zone and do the quickest job of killing Spe cial effort should be used to control these grasses serious infestation takes over To Be Alert For Wild Garlic Dairymen are urged to be on the alert SMITH for wild garlic in their pastures; milk flavor will be seriously threatened if the cows consume any amount of garlic Dry cows or heifeis may be used to graze off the garlic before the milking herd is turned out Also, it is very important to keep the herd from the areas at least 4 to 5 hours before the milk ing period. With the wide use of bulk milk tanks where large amounts of milk are being held, it is very important to be ex tremely careful for top milk flavoi.
