—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, August 20, 1966 4 From Where We Stand... Form Prices And Costs UP With favorable weather factors on the decline again this year and an in creased consumer demand for farm pro ducts at home and abroad prices will have only one way to go between now and next year. UP! Any consumer or government bureaucrat who expects American farm ers to shed any tears over that situation is bound to be disappointed. For the first time in perhaps a de cade and a half, the farmer is in the driver’s seat. It’s unfortunate that many won’t have the quantity of products to sell that they would have had without the widespread drought. Of course, you can raise dairy, live stock, and poultry, drought or not, but your production costs are naturally in creased through higher feed costs at such times. And, once again, Lancas ter County farmers who are able to raise a good part of their feed supply will be in a little better shape than most eastern farmers, especially the big boys who have to buy everything they feed in some cases. • Harold Brubaker (Continued from Page 1) trying to do farm work and get a college education at the same time Eventually he’d like to become a veterinarian, but that goal is still about six years away, he said This sum mer he is taking a six-week course sechdule at Delaware Valley College of Science & Agriculture at Doylestown He is also studying animal hus bandry there during the regu lar school year. Meanwhile, back at the farm, he is raising some 5000 broil ers and 8000 meat pullets in rented buildings, and faims 8 acres of tobacco and 15 of corn In addition to being a can didate for the Ameucan Fann er Degree, Harold will also at tend the FFA Convention as a nominee foi national office If he is foitunate enough to be elected, particularly to a high office, he feels the experience would more than justify his dropping out of school for a year oi so to meet the heavy travel requirements of a high national FFA office Brubaker was very active and successful during his high school FFA days He was State Star Farmer and, later, -North Atlantic Stai Farmer in 1964 In the same year he was state FFA secietaiy Temperatures for the next five days will average some where near the normal range of 85 to 63 degrees. The weatherman looks for it to he warm Sunday, a little cooler Monday, and then warm toward mid-week. One-half to one inch of precipitation is expected in the form of showers Sunday and again about mid-week.

There may well be a move to recall 30 million, or so, acres from reserve cropland to active production. But it will still take the better part of a year to get a crop off the reserve land once it is called up. Some observers believe we could wipe out our entire corn reserve next year since latest 1966 crop estimates nationally are about 4 billion bushels, with demand estimated at 4Vi billion bushels for 1967. Carryover, in reserve, is less than 1 billion bushels, and only about half of this would'be available. Other feed grain situations are similar oat crop, off 10 percent; bar ley, down 7 percent; grain sorghum esti mated at 12 percent less than last year. With increased demand, prices on these grains and therefore feeding costs have to rise. Looks like a good year not to sell any grain in the field. Store it if you can do so economically. It’s bound to increase in value, both as a cash crop and as a livestock “input”. • Larry Weaver (Continued from Page 1) it from his father. He also rents an eight-acre piece of neighboring land His farming enterprise is built around steers and hogs. He generally buys 50 calves at a time and feeds them out to 1100 pounds, or so From 200-250 hogs are also pur chased during -the year, and these are fattened along- with the steers.

Differences to look for are: Termites have no constric tion between the thorax and abdomen Ants have a narrow constriction or “wasp-like waist.” Winged termites have wings of equal size The back wings of ants are smaller than the forewings The antennae of termites are usually straight and are made up of small beads The an tennae of ants are elbowed • Caution On Hay (Continued from Page 1) young corn, according to Hen ry F Nixon, director of the department’s Bureau of Plant Industry Crop loss can run as high as 25 to 50 percent in in fested fields, he added The insect was discovered in Michi gan in 1962 and has been mov ing eastward at a rapid pace since then many offices during his four years ait high school These in cluded vice president, secre tary, tieasurer, and junior treasurer He also served as treasmer of the County FFA Chapter in 1961, and eained the Keystone Faimer Degree in 1963 Dunng his senior year, he was named Chapter Star Faim ei, won the DeKalb Award for excellence in agriculture, the National FFA Foundation award for poultry, the county bankeis awaid, and the out standing agriculture senior award.

The precious gift then becomes the spoiled gift! The seventh commandment deals primarily with adultery, the act of sexual intercourse with someone married to another. In Deuteronomy 22 the command* ment is expanded to include fornication, any act ofintercourae outside the bonds of marriage. In other words, the Old Testament recognized marriage as the only lawful context in which men and women should employ the God given gift of sex.
