From Where We Stand...
Between The Law And The Jungle
One constant agricultural problem
in tropical lands is how quickly the jun
gle reclaims cultivated land, converting
it to its original tangled state, fit only for
wild things to inhabit.
The law in a civilized society can be
likened to that cultivated land in that it
too, if not meticulously tended, will be
devoured and laid waste by the relent
less forces of baxbarism and irresponsi
bility.
It is becoming apparent that such
forces are hard at work right here in
America, and that their goal which
they may accomplish without even rea
lizing they have one is the destruc
tion of this small piece of cultivated land
from within. Just as borers in a corn
stalk can more effectively do their dirty
work within the physical protection of
fered by the plant than can more vulner
able insects attacking openly, so can our
internal enemies safely operate behind
laws designed to protect honest citizens
from wrongful persecution.
These hooligans who would burn
their cities right out from under them
selves have linked their actions to civil
rights, and. in so doing, have probably
pi enounced a death sentence on any fur
ther favorable civil rights legislation or
judicial decisions for some time to come.
As President Johnson noted this
week, the riots and looting have nothing
to do with civil rights they are out and
out criminal acts of violence and must be
met with swift and severe punishment.
If we need more definite anti-riot
laws then, by all means, Congress should
enact them not in panic, but with a
spirit of calm urgency. The crime being
perpetrated by this irresponsible faction
in our major cities is intolerable. While it
is one thong to officially study the prob
lem, and we agree that this is a necessity,
the immediate need is to treat the symp
toms drastically, before their contagion
spreads any further
Theft is theft whether it is called
rcbbsry or looting It is one of the oldest
crimes known to man and has been con
trolled. or at least curtailed, over the
centuries by treating the offender harsh
ly To disregard that lesson now is to in
vite continued looting and sacking of the
haves by the havenots Inflicting maxi
mum penalties in every case is a beginn
ing, but we agree with the President
the lawabiding citizens in each communi
ty must control lawlessness within their
communities.

Another matter worthy of note is
that Lancaster County agricultural in
terests ALONE with no state or
federal subsidization other than a tax
deductible provision on contributions
have managed to swing this half
million dollar venture.
But, we are sad to report that farm
er support has not nearly matched that of
allied industry. Is it possible that al
lied industry has more faith in the fu
ture of Lancaster County agriculture
than our own farmers have ? We feel cer
tain there are few farmers in the county
who could not afford $5O a year for two
years in support of this investment in
the future. Farm & Home directors feel
similarly, which is the reason for the
campaign to get farm people to carry
their fair share of this project, by contri
buting the final $lOO,OOO needed.
